"...marijuana is one of the safest, therapeutically active substances known to man." DEA Judge Francis Young

"I enjoy smoking cannabis and see no harm in it". Jennifer Aniston

"I think the 'Just say no' mentality is so crazed. I saw a thing in a women's magazine the other day. 'He smokes cannabis, what am I to do? He laughs it off when I try to tell him, he says it's not really harmful...' Of course you're half hoping the advice will be, 'Well, you know it's not that harmful; if you love him, if you talk to him about it, tell him maybe he should keep it in the garden shed or something,' you know, a reasonable point of view. But of course it was, 'No, no, all drugs are bad. Librium's good, Valium's good. But cannabis, ooooh!' I hate that unreasoned attitude." Sir Paul McCartney

"I used to smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early midafternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . . But never at dusk." Steve Martin

coolone sure loves weed.

Yes I do very much! :stoned



"How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured...No one knows, when he places a marijuana cigarette to his lips, whether he will become a joyous reveller in a musical heaven, a mad insensate, a calm philosopher, or a murderer..." HARRY J ANSLINGER Commissioner of the US Bureau of Narcotics 1930-1962

I was just thinking that. My only question about the legal weed is does it really work and if so why aren't more people buying it. If it really works I'm in for a bushel.

The drug is really quite a remarkably safe one for humans, although it
is really quite a dangerous one for mice and they should not use it." J.W.D Henderson Director of the Bureau of Human Drugs, Health and Welfare, Canada

There is legal weed??
Where and what do you mean if it really works?

" When you return to this mundane sphere from your visionary world, you would seem to leave a Neapolitan spring for a Lapland winter - to quit paradise for earth - heaven for hell! Taste the hashish, guest of mine - taste the hashish! "
Alexander Dumas, 'The Count of Monte Cristo', 1844

* Dan Quayle - Former U.S. Vice President

"Congress Should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana. We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapist and burglars who are a menace to society."

Jimmy Carter - Former U.S. President

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself, and where they are they should be changed."

"When you leave home with one lighter and come home with three the road trip to your friends was a good one."


Willie Nelson - Country Musician

"The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis."

Stephen King - Author

" I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There's some pretty good homegrown dope. I'm sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses. "

Biblical - Genesis 1:29

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

"When I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale."

The most difficult struggle of all is the one within ourselves. Let us not get accustomed and adjusted to these conditions. The one who adjusts ceases to discriminate between good and evil. He becomes a slave in body and soul. Whatever may happen to you, remember always: Don't adjust! Revolt against the reality! -- Mordechai Anielewicz, Warsaw, 1943

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw

DEA Success Update: Let's see. After 20 years of relentless federal Drug War activity, while the price of world-class marijuana has gone from $60 an ounce to $450, the price of quality cocaine has plummeted from $125 a gram to $30, and 30%-pure heroin has dropped from $700 a gram to about $100. Way to go, boys! -- High Times, April 1995

If I instituted drug testing at Cypress, I would get a brick through my windshield, and I would deserve it. -- T.J. Rogers, President, Cypress Semiconductor

It happened that a Countryman was sowing some hemp seeds in a field where a Swallow and some other birds were hopping about picking up their food. "Beware of that man," quoth the Swallow. "Why, what is he doing?" said the others. "That is hemp seed he is sowing; be careful to pick up every one of the seeds, or else you will repent it." The birds paid no heed to the Swallow's words, and by and by the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and of the cords nets were made, and many a bird that had despised the Swallow's advice was caught in nets made out of that very hemp. "What did I tell you?" said the Swallow. Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin. -- "The Swallow and the Other Birds," Aesop's Fables

Our current drug crisis is a tragedy born of a phony system of classification. For reasons that are little more than accidents of history, we have divided a group of nonfood substances into two categories: items purchasable for supposed pleasure (such as alcohol), and illicit drugs. The categories were once reversed. Opiates were legal in America before the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914, and members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, who campaigned against alcohol during the day, drank their valued "women's tonics" at night, products laced with laudanum (tincture of opium).
I could abide - though I would still oppose - our current intransigence if we applied the principle of total interdiction to all harmful drugs. But how can we possibly defend our current policy based on a dichotomy that encourages us to view one class of substances as a preeminent scourge while the two most dangerous and life-destroying substances by far, alcohol and tobacco, form a second class advertised in neon on every street corner of urban America? And why, moreover, should heroin be viewed with horror while chemical cognates that are no different from heroin than lemonade is from iced tea perform work of enormous compassion by relieving the pain of terminal cancer patients in their last days? -- evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould, "Taxonomy as Politics," in Dissent, Winter 1990, p. 73

"Persons using this narcotic smoke the dried leaves of the plant, which has the effect of driving them completely insane. Addicts to this drug, while under its influence, are immune to pain, and could be severely injured without having any realization of their condition. While in this condition they become raving maniacs and are liable to kill or indulge in any form of violence to other persons, using the most savage methods of cruelty without, as said before, any sense of moral responsibility."

? Emily Murphy, the first woman to become a member of Parliament and one of the "Famous Five" who helped Canadian women become "persons" under the law, was also an early anti-marijuana activist. In her 1922 book The Black Candle, Murphy called marijuana the "new menace."

"There's no such thing as the safe use of illicit drugs, including marijuana. When illicit drugs are legalized, drug use increases."

? Sgt. Dale Orban, director of the Regina Police Association, May 28, 2001
In May 2003, federal Health Minister Anne McLellan said that if Canada decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana, use of the drug would likely increase, at least in the short term, as it has in other countries that have decriminalized.

"Scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that cannabis is substantially less harmful than alcohol and should be treated not as a criminal issue but as a social and public health issue."

? Senator Pierre Claude Nolin
On Sept. 4, 2002, the special Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs released its final report, which recommended that the government make smoking pot legal and wipe clean the records of anyone convicted of possession.

"There is a possibility for marijuana to be used as a stepping stone for other harder drugs."

? Mike Niebudek, vice-president of the Canadian Police Association, July 2002
Niebudek said this two months after the special Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs said the opposite ? marijuana is "not a gateway" to harder drugs, such as cocaine and heroine.

"Our policies that we build around this drug are far more harmful than the drug itself."

? Eugene Oscapella, executive director of the Canadian Foundation for Drug Policy, Sept. 4, 2002
By keeping marijuana illegal, says Oscapella, Canada's drug laws support organized crime and terrorist groups around the world.

"One of the main problems with prohibition right now is that organized crime has a foothold in the industry, and until we legalize the growth and sale of marijuana we're not going to see those problems end."

? Mike Curt, member of the Marijuana Party, July 2002



"I have made it very plain that until we are able to effectively deal with illegal 'grow ops' in this country, we have a major, major problem."

? Federal Health Minister Anne McLellan "bitch", May 2003

talking to yourself this morning, coolone?

these two are idiots

"We would have to respond. We would be forced to respond."

? Top U.S. drug policy official David Murray, May 2, 2003
Murray says there would be consequences from the United States if Canada decriminalized the possession of marijuana.


"You expect your friends to stop the movement of poison to your neighbourhood."

? U.S. drug czar John Walter, May 2003
Walter has said that Canada's move to decriminalize marijuana could cause traffic at the border to slow to a crawl because border inspections would increase.

Yes sir, not unusual.
Was a good wake and bake this morning.
and of course I want those blunt wraps

Smoked Marijuana versus Synthetic THC:
"[T]he last thing that they want is a pill when they are already nauseated or are in the act of throwing up." (Mark G. Kris, M.D.)

"[T]he evidence is perfectly clear that smoking is an outstanding route of administration ... for several reasons. One is that the bioavailability is generally very good by the smoked route, and generally very predictable, whereas bioavailability by the oral route [i.e., pills] is both not good and not predictable in general. ... And secondly and very important and useful is the fact that by the smoking route, the person can self-regulate or titrate the dosage so that dosage issues become less important." (Avram Goldstein, M.D.)

"People do seem to be able to function, to speak articulately, not to appear inebriated even though they're on these kinds of doses for a long time." (Paul Palmberg, M.D., Ph.D.)

Treating Glaucoma with Smoked Marijuana:
"In the case of smoked marijuana or Marinol, it's quite clear that it does lower intraocular pressure, often substantially. ... So I don't think there's any doubt about its effectiveness, at least in some people with glaucoma." ( Paul Palmberg, M.D., Ph.D.)

Treating Muscle Spasticity Disorders with Smoked Marijuana:
"In looking at the literature and listening to the discussion yesterday, I came to the conclusion that smoked marijuana does have an effect on spasticity." (Kenneth Johnson, M.D.)

Treating Epilepsy:
"[A]t least in experimental epilepsy systems, the cannabinoids seem to be quite effective for some kinds of epileptic conditions." ( Kenneth Johnson, M.D.)

Treating Pain:
"And so I think there's probably little doubt that inherently there is an analgesic effect that can be mediated through the cannabinoid receptor." ( probably William T. Beaver, M.D., but transcript is not clear)

Quotes from Darryl Inaba, Pharm.D. Director of the Haight-Ashbury Detoxification, Rehabilitation, and Aftercare Clinic


"Marijuana is a substance that contains up to 360 active brain chemicals in every variety a person smokes. We found that just one of those chemicals, Delta-9 THC, thought to be the most potent and causing the greatest amount of brain effects, is altered by the liver. The liver tries to destroy this drug and get rid of it but in the process, it actually creates 60 or more new drugs that are active in the brain. So marijuana is a multitude of drugs."

"There is marijuana growing everywhere with a very high potency of 14-20% THC. To fully understand importance of this, we must realize that people who smoked in the 1960s thought marijuana was a benign drug. Smoking one joint today is the equivalent of smoking about 14 of those joints from the '60s. Thus, we have a much greater concern about the health consequences of today's marijuana."

"The big problem we see at the Haight-Ashbury Clinic is that the potent form of marijuana today is causing a lot more problems than we saw in the 1960s. I never treated a single self-admitted marijuana addict in the Clinic from the early '60s through the mid-'80s. However, by the late-1980s we started seeing people coming in saying, "Help me. I want to stop smoking pot. It is causing me to have memory problems. Causing me to be too spaced out. Not to function in my work. I can't complete tasks. It's causing me to be sick in the morning and cough. I have withdrawal symptoms. I want to stop and I can't stop." We now have at our program in San Francisco about 100 patients every month who are in treatment specifically for marijuana addiction."
