This person I know is a prime reason why pot should be legalized
My aunt is one of the most neurotic and high strung individuals I know. I just got off instant messenger talking to her about some guy trouble she was having. All the things she was worrying about were completely out of her control yet she worries. I told her she need to start smoking pot again cause it will really mellow her out. She laughed but agreed with me. I personally don't need the stuff, I'm a pretty chill person normally but I can't help but think smoking weed is better for you than taking those anti-anxiety pills big pharma is trying to push down our throats.

Seriously some people just need to get high and stop worrying about the stupid shit sometimes!

1. Amen
I don't see how they can criminalize a plant. A weed. That would be like them saying that growing dandelions should be illegal. What really makes me go huh?, is that in genesis it talks about god putting these plants here for us but the religious right does not want us to be sloth like. I am sure if a democrat said he would stop criminalizing pot it would be worth a few million votes.

3. That politician might be able to tap into that vast pool
of non-voters, lord knows whatever they are doing right now isn't appealing to them. But it will be a cold day in hell before a serious candidate runs on decriminalization. He would be attacked by the Fundie right faster than you can say "swift boat veterans for truth"

2. My lost keys will be exhibit A for the defense
:P

At least the absence of something will be easy to bring to court.
