I feel i must apologize for the post made by my fellow georgian. I smoke everyday and see nothing wrong with it, i also believe that the movie the passion of the christ is pornographic, anitsemitic, and contains no spiritual value.

I live in Siren WI, Where the police broke into my home without a warrant searched and destroyes my property. All they found was a pipe and a tiny bit of shake left over from rolling a "J". My husband smokes pot reguralry to keep his sanity. He was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago that left him with frontal lobe brain dammage, the part that controls your personality. The only thing he has found that controls his pain and his anger is POT.

I would just like to say that you should do a little research before you comment about medical marijuana. There was a law past granting doctors permission to prescribe patiants with medical merijuana. However, federal law still applays that marijuana still illegal. Any state law that interfears with federal law is basically overitten.
