Another good history on marijuana is Marijuana:The First Twelve Thousand Years

The author of this book,"The Emporer Wears No Clothes" also has a $100,000 challenge to anyone who can prove that hemp is not the best source for biofuels on earth.

A detailed and thorough report on the history of the drug. Although life-threatening complications are very rare after use of marijuana or cannabinoids for medical indications, the side effects of it have to be evaluated. While dysphoric reactions are not common, euphoric mood changes or triggers of acute psychotic episodes in its users are among the most frequently reported.

Excellent submission....
How much more information does OUR government need to LEGALIZE the use of Marijuana...Can they not read ???
How blind they are to the medical benefits that its use has.
If it does not benefit their own pockets they have no interest...SAD but TRUE !!

Don't ya just wonder why they made it all illegal? Is it just another way of controling what people do? Making it illegal didn't stop people from consuming alcohol and it sure hasn't stopped the use of canabis. If people want it they will have it. I know a lot of people who have smoked daily for 30 or more years and I have never known one of them to get in a car and kill some one or pick a fight or hurt any one else because of a little pot. Usually they laugh a lot, eat a few munchies and hang out doing creative things like making music or painting pictures and stuff like that so lets just get it legalized and be happy.
