Why is it “OK” that we are allowed to smoke a dangerous herb, Tobacco, one of the leading causes of cancer but we are not allowed to use an herb that has been proven to stop the spread of cancer and ease the physical and emotional pain of not only cancer patients but everyone who uses it. While Marijuana has been mislabeled a “Drug,” law enforcement wastes your money busting and imprisoning harmless users while Granny goes nearly unnoticed making Meth. She’s not the only Meth grandmother out there either, they are everywhere. I have seen it. Maybe its time to start weeding out the zombie Meth addicts who undoubtedly thrive in your neighborhood and mine, people who would sell to your children if they knew it would ensure their next buzz. I have seen mothers addicted to Meth who forget their children, forget to feed them, lock them out, abandon them, abuse them. I have seen mothers who use marijuana, they are attentive, active, humorous, happy, creative, peaceful, fun and they and their children do not go without. Some of the most successful and happy people you and I know use Marijuana everyday. They use it because it’s helpful and relaxing. It is the ultimate miracle herb and if legalized will save the lives and economy of out country.

Marijuana users live in constant fear that their children will be taken from them and their reputations destroyed if they’re caught  using that which causes no harm to anyone. A person caught possessing, distributing or growing faces far more negative publicity and time in prison than a child molester.

The average user spends anywhere from 60 to 120 dollars a week on pot. Imagine what would happen if that money went back into circulation here instead of into Canada or Mexico.

George Washington told us to “Make the most of the Indian Hemp seed and grow it everywhere.” Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper.  Jefferson drafted the declaration of Independence on Hemp The U.S. is the only industrialized country in the word that prohibits Hemp cultivation. Hemp fibers are longer, stronger, more absorbent and more mildew-resistant than cotton. Hemp stalks can be converted to biomass energy, can be used for paper, jewelry, textiles, paints, resins, shellacs, varnishes, biodegradable plastics, construction beams, studs, posts, furniture, health food and more. Hemp requires fewer pesticides, controls topsoil and could save our forests. A Mercedes Benz had crossed North America running on 100 % Hemp Fuel. Yet we send our children to die for oil far from home and don’t you think for one second that that’s not why we’re there. Africa needs more help than Iraq did and we haven’t done squat for them because they don’t have anything we want. Our world peace needs legalized. I pray that  it is legalized. Consider that Marijuana is a blessing and not a curse (quote from Christian singer Ben Harper).
