    Ummm...if you are who reported us, I would like to ask you... When a writer is sent to jail, do they burn his/her writings? When Michael Jackson was sent to jail did they burn all little kids? When Martha Stewart went to jail did they burn all Bed, Bath, and Beyond's? I seriously doubt it... Why would you want all of my works deleted? That is immature at best, similar to our actions blogging.

    FagMuffin, I'd suck it up, but it looks like you've done all the suckin' and now the women of the world are dry. Kind of like your sense of humor.

    first of all, I did not back up anybody. I merely made points against both sides. Ryan wanting to legalize marijuana doesn't matter because he already smokes it to his hearts content. Not to mention legalizing it would make it more expensive, taxable, and give some big business a new venue. Keeping it illegal keeps it small, makes it cheap, and really doesn't stop anybody from smoking it.

    Drugs do open the mind. It is a proven fact. Like I said, the list goes on and on of artists who came out with beautiful art thanks in part to drugs.

    Thirdly, pot normally doesn't usually rip families apart like you say fagmuffin. Usually that is something more like crack, heroine, X, LSD, etc. Also, I don't think pot ruins teeth. Does the phrase meth mouth ring a bell?

    Fourthly, pot was illegalized before people knew the real effects of marijuana. If you have never seen one of the old commercials advertising against pot, you should watch it; they're hilarious. They have people smoke, then go crazy and jump out of fourth story windows, then a narrator comes on and tells the viewer that this is normal behavior for a person high on marijuana. Even you people would laugh if you saw them.

    Lastly, William Randolph Hearst, the huge newspaper tycoon, and racism, or at least discrimination against mexicans has to do with why marijuana is illegal. The hemp plant, a family in which pot belongs, has many different uses. One of those uses is that it can be used in the making of paper. Hearst had a monopoly on making the paper that newspapers used, so he wanted the hemp plant ilegalized in order to keep out competitors. He funded and backed the majority of the movement against marijuana. THose crazy commericals I told you about, those are his. Also during this time, many southwest states were trying to expand, building cities along the border of Mexico and the U.S. However, Americans weren't moving there to live or work. To keep towns going and create infastructures, the states invited Mexicans to come in, live there, and help build the town up. After these towns were built Americans from the east found them more likable and began moving there. AS the towns grew they no longer wanted the mexican population (the discrimination comes in here). One thing they noticed Mexicans did after work as a pastime was sit on their porches and smoke the reefer. Government officials found that mexicans were so attached to their pastime that when if the U.S. banned pot, the mexicans would stop coming, and some of those here actually returned to mexico where they could live in pot peace. Therefore, the southwest states joined the huge push to ilegalize marijuana, to get rid of the mexicans.

    The first man put in charge of the DEA or ATF (i can't remember which it was) actually didn't think pot was a menace. He actually thought that getting rid of it was, especially since it grew prevalently from florida to maine. He thought it would be impossible to get rid of because in states such as kentucky and tennessee, pot grew as far as the eye could see, and this was in the wild, not farmed. As a matter of fact, the bureau I am speaking of, whether it be the dea or atf, stemmed from the push to ilegalize pot. The first mission was the banning of marijuana. Only later did scientists find out the real effects that pot has on a person, which are not physically addictive by the way, only mentally. A person's body does not go through cravings for pot like a hop, crack, or coke head, or someone addicted to caffiene or nicotene.

    I posted this here because the other topic was deleted prior to my being able to post, and i had already written this out. Pointless to write such useful information and not share it with people.

    I thought it was all very interesting, although pot does ruin teeth, it causes periodontitis. anyway, not wanting to argue or anything, I was just reading for fun
