Its just a hard hard realization for other people to take in: that is someone being punished for braking the law. Its all your fault the government set the rules and you broke them. They also set the punishments which you will follow. Why did you choose, yes YOU CHOSE to take this risk: so you can get high. but of course your not addicted *sarcasm*. If you dont like the way the gov. runs things, then move. Move to a country where you can run around and smoke marijuana all day.

Read this again tek. Its YOUR choice to brake the law. No i dont think policemen should be at a mcdonalds line, but think why would the gov make in maryland, not wearing a seatbelt illegal. Are they making money off this law: yes with tickits and less dead people on the side of the road. But that really isnt the real reason: the real reason is that the gov cares, but your so worried about your personal rights it makes me sick. Hey tek, ever been to china, to india, go there and see your personal rights. Go to an african country and smoke marijuana all day.
I think cigarettes should be illegal. This we stop a lot of serious smokers from smoking in fear of the law.
If we were just to focus on that marijuana is illegal: again this shows that your addicted enough to this stuff to brake the law, or you just have a jail wish. And when your going to jail which i doubt that will ever happen but if you do or if you already have, you should think, "It was my choice to brake the law. I knew of the punishments i could be facing and i ignored them anyways."
If marijuana was legal, i would have less of a problem with your whole arguement because you arent breaking a law. To me, it seems, you are the ignorant one, ignorant of any law that pisses you off, takes 10 sec of your day, or makes what your doing less pleasurable.
You have changed my views to an extent, not a whole lot, but my main view is this: no one until marijuana is legal should do it, and I will never do it for i feel it is immoral.
