Quit harrasing the public. It's a natural plant that's safer than peanuts! It suppreses violence unlike alcohol and the only thing dangerous about it is having a "peace" officer spot you with a joint! But you think troops are neccessary? STOP THE HYPOCRISY! Hemp and marijuana can save the planet educate yourselves.

Watch.... Magic Weed/ The History of Maijuana.... tvshack.net... Here the U.S. spends millions of our tax dollars to erraticate and prosecute people who grow marijuana while other countries have legalized it and grow it as a industrial fiber to make many things that would take the place of wood products.... just the sound of legalization of marijuana is weird to me,but after a few years it would be as common to grow HEMP as any other cash crop such as tobbaco, corn, soy bean. In European countries that do grow HEMP the THC levels are so weak you couldn't get high if you smoked a whole field of it. I don't beleive it would negatively effect our youth any more than they are now. If a person is caught(after legalization)of selling weed then deal with them as a criminal. If people want to smoke it, let them grow their own...I got a few acres and I would gladly grow industrial HEMP... for rope,paper, clothes,the U.S Decloration of Independence was written on HEMP paper. B.Franklin smoked it!

There were 872,721 marijuana related arrests in the US in 2007 (norml.org). It costs on average $32,491 to house a prisoner for one year (mlive.com). That is $28,355,578,001 per year for only marijuana related arrests. The average cost of a four year college education is $6,585 per year(collegeboard.com), $26,340 for all four years. The tax payer money used to house these prisoners would send over 1,076,500 (count the commas thats over one million) Americans to college. This is a sad waste of taxpayer $$$. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!!!!!!
$250,000,000
