| MyThoughts Wednesday, May 18, 2011: 6:47 am | Too bad the homeowner was armed. Could have saved us cost of ambulance, hospital bills, prosecution and incarceration. Never the less, glad to hear the homeowner is safe. Good Job! |

| MyThoughts Thursday, April 7, 2011: 2:26 pm | How do you keep your expelled child from wandering the school grounds (or anywhere for that matter) you ask??? You take the day off of work if you have to, you hire a babysitter if you have to and most importantly, YOU, as the parent, start acting like the parent and take FULL responsibility for the actions of your offspring! Quit blaming the teachers or school administrators for your childs actions! And for Liberty, well, you are not even worth a response! Keep drinking your own Kool-Aid! |

| MyThoughts Sunday, April 4, 2010: 7:29 pm | Very well put SpectrumMommy. And thank you for speaking up. I agree completely with the chemically altered drugs, they should be illegal and people should avoid them. Legalize, regulate and tax it, only makes sense! |

| MyThoughts Friday, April 2, 2010: 6:47 pm | This is a sad situation. Clearly the boy is missing out on having a loving family and home life. I love how LIBERTY blames the boys broken home on drugs though. There is a better chance that it's alcohol related. There must be 25 times more alcoholics than drug addicts due to availability of alcohol. Liberty must be spiking the Kool-Aid again. |

| MyThoughts Wednesday, March 31, 2010: 6:29 pm | Liberty...Still drinking the Kool-Aid I see. You must be hitting the bottle hard tonight. Those people on thos forums are people like you, who just like to pass on the Government propaganda. I happen to know first hand the effects, and I know countless other casual consumers who lead a perfectly normal life and are not nearly as uptight as you are about it. Clearly there is no logical debate with you! All you are concerned about is the same BS propaganda that the DEA lives by. OF COURSE, the DEA wants you to believe it is bad for you and is the gateway to more harmful drugs. Their job depends on it! Expecting them to tell you the truth would be like YOUR therapist telling you that you are healed and perfectly normal. Of course they are going to tell you that you need to keep coming back. Just like the DEA is going to continue to convince the weak sheep that Marijuana is harmful and will make you do evil things. What a joke. The glass of wine you will drink with your dinner tonight is more harmful than smoking marijuana. Your brain is just not strong enough to think outside the box and form a unique conclusion, you have to rely on others to tell you what you should believe. Me, on the other hand, I question everything, just for the sake of argument. I like to draw my own conclusions. And, the fact of the matter is, there are less side affects from marijuana than there are alcohol. Bottom line, if you don't like it, I suggest you not consume it. Stick with your liver killing drink. And for all of you kids doing your school projects and out here reading these posts, as he suggested, don't listen to either of us! When you are a responsible adult, draw your own conclusion. But I urge you, at the very least, stay away from alcohol. ABSOLUTELY, no good will come from drinking. I'm not telling you to go consume illegal drugs, but definitely suggesting to stay off the bottle. Last thing, for this post anyway; know how to tell if a politician or government agent is lieing? Their lips are moving! None of them are obligated to tell you the truth. |

| MyThoughts Wednesday, March 31, 2010: 12:42 pm | Nobodyimportant... Very well put. And I agree with most of what you said. It is ALMOST a 50/50 argument. I also admit, my opinion is of selfish reasons. But the logic still exists, that the tax revenue is much needed. Take marijuana as the example. We know that even the natural weed, unadulterated, has several effects on us. If it did not, we would be discussing this issue. It does alter mood and thinking. I can't imagine God wanting us to divert our attention from Him to feel good", chemically relax, mellow out, distort perception, negatively affect memory and learning, or impair problem-solving. Marijauna does all these things. You are correct, it does alter the mood and thinking. So does God want all the Christians to stop taking Prozac too? Or stop drinking for that matter? The entire debate about your body being a temple, is somewhat hypocritical (couldn't think of a better way to say it...don't be offended). If the Christian body were a temple, then Christians would not consume alcohol or medications. Don't forget the argument can be made that Marijuana has it's own medicinal purposes and is 100% all natural. I would have to believe that God would rather I consume something 100% natural before he would want me to take a pill or drink some cough syrup. The last thing I would argue is religion, as I admit, I have no business debating that topic. The only thing I point out, is if Marijuana were legalized (which we established, there COULD POSSIBLY be some good to it), then, if the Christians don't like it, don't consume it. But they can't sit there and tell the rest of us that God frowns on us for doing it, while they sip on their Mai Tai or Beer or while smoking their chemically enhanced cigarettes/cigars. Maybe I am missing something, which is quite possible, but I firmly believe the Pros far outweigh the Cons for legalization. Look what legalizing alcohol did to the speakeasies of the 30's, as well as the mobsters. They gave up on running alcohol and moved their business to organizing unions. Again, I am all for the appropriate regulation, should it be legalized. I'm sure they could create a device to detect toxicity leves for OWI/DWI (intoxicated on Marijuana), must be 21 to purchase, only consumable in the privacy of your own home or regulated smoke shops. Basically, apply the same laws as alcohol. Time will tell! I'm putting my money on "it will be legal" or at least decriminalized in the near future, as it has been in California and 14 other states. Our Government is too greedy to keep it illegal. |

| MyThoughts Wednesday, March 31, 2010: 10:11 am | Again, I have to point out, I am not referring to all drugs. I agree, not ALL drugs should be legalized. I am only speaking about Marijuana. For one, it is natural, and the obvious, it DOES have documented medicinal purposes. Now, I want to address the euphoric results. Which euphoria has a more blinding effect, Alcohol or Marijuana? Let's take alcohol first; from the moment you stop drinking, your euphoria will continue to increase for the next 4+ hours and your blood alcohol content level will continue to rise. Marijuana on the other hand, does not continue to increase. The minute you stop smoking, what little euphoria you do have, does not increase. In fact, even if you COULD smoke yourself unconscious, your body begins to recover immediately. We all know that is not the case with alcohol. I don't even really believe marijuana produces a euphoric experience, at least in the way I believe you all to be referring to. I think you all are saying that it creates hallucinations. Euphoria, by definition, is "a feeling of happiness or confidence". Yes, marijuana does produce that affect, so does Prozac. But it also serves as chronic pain management for things such as arthritis, upset stomach, migranes and cramps (for women). I'm not trying to convince anyone that I am right, in fact, I don't need you to agree with me to know that I am right (haha). I am just stating facts and not propaganda from the government. With the state of our economy; why not, at least, consider legalizing, regulating and taxing marijuana? I believe California (emerald triangle), Colorado and several other states are already doing it. Not only will it help the economy from realized revenue from taxes, but releasing all marijuana non-violent related offenders, the taxpayers would not be paying for their imprisonment, less overcrowding and the child molestors, murderers and rapists can stay in prison longer. I am not saying it will completely fix our economy, but at this point, can't we use all the help we can get? I also have ideas for Welfare reform too! |

| MyThoughts Tuesday, March 30, 2010: 6:06 pm | None of this is a laughing matter, but I do have to point out the irony that your own documented facts, show that alcohol is greater than 10 times the killer than marijuana! I sure hope you are not a current educator! You are a hypocrit and clearly ignorant. I'll bet you wrote all of this while sucking down a stiff drink. Way to go Mr. "I used to counsel teenagers"! I'll bet you were extremely effective at brain washing. Keep up the good work. |

| MyThoughts Tuesday, March 30, 2010: 5:36 pm | Nobody is saying legalize Meth, Cocaine or LSD, those are chemically enhanced drugs, kind of like alcohol! Those should be illegal. But the War On Drugs is costing all of us, billions of dollars every year. How about we scale that war back, and funnel some of that money in to the War On Illegal Aliens! Let's take 1/2 of all DEA Agents and make them Border Patrol Agents. Let's make English the first language again. |

| MyThoughts Tuesday, March 30, 2010: 5:15 pm | The DEA...Now there is some propaganda! You are absolutely right. Let's put blind faith in our Government to lead us to the promise land! I am an ex-Government employee, don't try to convince me that any Goverment agency is obligated to tell the truth. I would take medical facts over DEA or any other Government agencies propaganda any day! And for anyone under 18 reading this, guess what? Marijuana is still illegal. I am not suggesting any of you try it. But I also urge you to do thorough research and draw your own conclusion. DO NOT LET ANYONE PUSH GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA down your throat! Think for yourself, read the facts and you will see what the most deadly drug available is today! And I would bet every single teacher you have had or do have, uses that drug! In fact, I believe the most senior educator in this audience will be spending 6 days in jail for the abuse of that drug! By all means "Liberty" preach on!!!!! |

| MyThoughts Tuesday, March 30, 2010: 4:38 pm | This is not Amsterdam! Everything is different once you leave our borders. The deadliest drug of all, Alcohol! More people die every day from overdose of alcohol, than overdoes from marijuana in a year! In fact, I don't know of a documented death from marijuana ever? |

| MyThoughts Tuesday, March 30, 2010: 7:45 am | Prohibition did not work in the 30's and it is not working today. Legalize it, tax it and regulate it! I'm only speaking to unaltered substances, not the chemically enhanced. It is easier for our kids to get marijuana than it is alcohol! Why? Because the government regulates alcohol. The only reason marijuana is considered a "gateway" drug, is because it has to be purchased from drug dealers. Think about it this way, a drug dealer would rather sell you something addictive, like crack or meth before he would want to sell you marijuana. The dealer himself/herself is the "gateway", not the drug! I don't know how much revenue is realized from the other "Sin" taxes, but add Marijuana to the Sin Tax and I am sure it would be in the Millions per state (and I am being conservative)! Man made alcohol, God made marijuana! Who do YOU trust? LEAP |
