Marijuana use causes a mans death

How very sad.

thats a very sad story.

The US laws towards marijuana are quite suprising to me.
I read an interesting book on the topic recently. It was called
Reefer Madness : Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market by Eric Schlosser

It talks heavily about the marijuana laws in the US
and also about porn. Very good read.

The devil weed kills again!

/sarcasm

That's fucking horrible.

R.I.P. Jonathan Magbie.

Very sad indeed.

Got Freedom?

fucking pathetic

jail dudes bet him up? went in his cell, smacked him around then pillowed his face.. what ya think

Though prosecutors had recommended probation, the judge in the case ordered Magbie to serve jail time


I hope he sleeps well at night

Unreal. Marijuana laws are fucking retarded. The shit grows in the fucking dirt for fuck sake. I hope all involved have nightmares the rest of their lives...

lol here i was looking for actual prrof that when he used the marijane, it killed him sad but funny post topic

There's more discussion about it at Cannabis News

http://www.cannabisnews.com/

Many folks are under the mistaken impression that cannabis (marijuana) users mostly get off with only a ticket. Truth is a substantial number of people do jail time for mere possession.

The U.S. govt says cannabis has no legitimate medical use and yet they themselves contract the growing and supply of cannabis to several people in the U.S. Yep, at the University of Mississippi ... do some googling on that ... talk about contradictions!

I think there should be a law that states...."if you are paralyzed from the neck down, then the rules of this fucking country do not apply to you". For one thing, how much trouble can you really cause, and secondly if you find something that makes your life a little better, then by god you should be allowed to do it, legal or not..

THAT FUCKING JUDGE NEEDS TO DIE!!

The truth about the drug war is very disturbing ...

The first few items on this page go into some depth, with references, about how cannabis, and drugs in general, came to be so regulated ... along with numerous resources/links for folks seeking real, meaningful drug policy reform.

Thats fucked up.
I still can't see why Marijuana is illegal, yet alcohol is considered so socially acceptable. Alcohol is more of a drug, causes more death, bad choices, and wreaks more physical havoc on the body than marijuana.
*sigh*

I think there should be a law that states....."As long as you continue to make possession and consumption of marijuana illegal, you can't call yourself the Land of the Free"

Here's a good song by the streets about Marijuana use vs. Alcohol that I think really makes one question why its illegal - although this all refers to Great Britain - it all applies to the U.S. too, obviously.

Hello, Hello. My names Terry and I'm a law abider
There's nothing I like more than getting fired up on beer
And when the weekends here I to exercise my right to get paralytic and fight
Good bloke fairly
But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny
Bounce 'em round like bunnies
I'm likely to cause mischief
Good clean grief you must believe and I ain't no thief.
Law abiding and all, all legal.
And who cares about my liver when it feels good
Wwhat you need is some real manhood.
Rasher Rasher Barney and Kasha putting peoples backs up.
Public disorder, I'll give you public disorder.
I down eight pints and run all over the place
Spit in the face of an officer
See if that bothers you cause I never broke a law in my life
Someday I'm gonna settle down with a wife
Come on lads lets have another fight

Eh hello. My names Tim and I'm a criminal,
In the eyes of society I need to be in jail
For the choice of herbs I inhale.
This ain't no wholesale operation
Just a few eighths and some Playstations my's vocation
I pose a threat to the nation
And down the station the police hold no patients
Let's talk space and time
I like to get deep sometimes and think about Einstein
And Carl Young And old Kung Fu movies I like to see
Pass the hydrator please
Yeah I'm floating on thin air.
Going to Amsterdam in the New Year - top gear there
Cause I taker pride in my hobby
Home made bongs using my engineering degree
Dear Leaders, please legalise weed for these reasons.

Like I was saying to him.
I told him: "Top with me and you won't leave."
So I smacked him in the head and downed another Carling
Bada Bada Bing for the lad's night.
Mad fight, his face's a sad sight.
Vodka and Snake Bite.
Going on like a right geez, he's a twat,
Shouldn't have looked at me like that.
Anyway I'm an upstanding citizen
If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.
Can't stand crime either them hooligans on heroin.
Drugs and criminals those thugs on the penny coloured will be the downfall of society
I've got all the anger pent up inside of me.

You know I don't see why I should be the criminal
How can something with no recorded fatalities be illegal
And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol
I just completed Gran Tourismo on the hardest setting
We pose no threat on my settee
Ooh the pizza's here will someone let him in please
"We didn't order chicken, Not a problem we'll pick it out
I doubt they meant to mess us about
After all we're all adults not louts."
As I was saying, we're friendly peaceful people
We're not the ones out there causing trouble.
We just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters
Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is.
MTV, BBC 2, Channel 4 is on until six in the morning.
Then at six in the morning the sun dawns and it's my bedtime.

Causing trouble, your stinking rabble
Boys saying I'm the lad who's spoiling it
You're on drugs it really bugs me when people try and tell me I'm a thug
Just for getting drunk
I like getting drunk
Cause I'm an upstanding citizen
If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.

Now Terry you're repeating yourself
But that's okay drunk people can't help that.
A chemical reaction inside your brain causes you to forget what you're saying.

What. I know exactly what I'm saying
I'm perfectly sane
You stinking student lameo
Go get a job and stop robbing us of our taxes.

Err, well actually according to research
Government funding for further education pales in insignificance
When compared to how much they spend on repairing
Leery drunk people at the weekend
In casualty wards all over the land.

Why you cheeky little swine come here
I'm gonna batter you. Come here.

Because conservatives think it's the devil. Marijuana = satan.

The only reason marijuana is illegal is that the underground network to distribute it is so extensive that legalization and taxation would never be profitable for the us government. Why do you think the war on drugs is so big and well funded. once they take down the dealer networks then they can legalize and control the distribution and taxation without fear of being undersold by the already in place network.

ummmm.....no

That's fucked.

I drive by the only legal US government pot field every day. In high school I had afriend thatworked there. Government weed was pretty good for high school kids.

Well said.

That is some fucked up shit.

That judge ought to go down for murder.

Fucking idiot.

ABSOLUTELY! He should be charged with manslaughter and spend the rest of his pathetic life in prison. Hopefully, raped repeatedly until the day he fucking dies.

horrible, He should have never been in jail in the 1st place

horrible, He should have never been in jail in the 1st place

As for the judge, he wont be charged with murder, but he might face a wrongful death lawsuit
