Maybe we can get everybody’s newest rock star Rick Reames to have DOR tax it to death. Or is he too busy listening to all the fawning from the statehouse insiders?? Quit listening to your accolades and do your job!

The bible talks about feeding the hungry, healing the sick, clothing the naked and housing the homeless.

It turns out those aren’t just the right things to do, they’re some of the biggest markets in the world.

Legal Marijuana is already a $2.7B market, growing at 74% a year.

There’s a real gold rush going on. Whenever that is, lots of people make lots of money, especially people who sell picks and shovels.

There’s a lot of room for growth, considering that only a few states have fully legalized Marijuana. That its not legal at all in 27 other ones, and that its been the biggest cash crop in America for years, even bigger than corn.

The second half of the second decade of the 21st century may very well be “The Marijuana age”

Marijuana is a “Wonder Drug” for Cancer patients, for Kids who suffer from Seizures, and for so many diseases of so many kinds.

Its a fast and highly effective pain reliever, and its incredibly safe. Its the only painkiller that users can safely self-tirate over a wide range and is the only painkiller that is physically impossible to overdose on.

Its a rapid acting and incredibly safe and effective anti-depressant — it doesn’t takes weeks to start working like SSRIs, and rather than increasing the chances of its users committing suicide, a real problem when young people are given SSRIs, it reduces suicide rates.

When used recreationally, its far safer than Alcohol, and infinitely safer than Cigarettes. Its helped countless people detox from Alcohol and hard drugs and not relapse on them.

Marijuana, and its cousin, Hemp, feed the hungry (Hemp for food and Hemp animal feed), heal the sick (Medical Marijuana), clothe the naked (Hemp Fabric), and house the homeless (HempCrete building materials).

Marijuana oil may have been the “miracle” healing oil used in biblical times and talked about in the bible.

Its easy and cheap to grow and can be easily processed into food, medicine, clothing, paper, and housing supplies, at very low cost, with very little equipment, and that’s incredibly important in the third world.

People are going to make $Billions off of legal Marijuana, but that’s not the reason to legalize it.

The reason to legalize it is that its the right thing to do.

Every minute an American dies of Cancer. Cancer patients can’t wait.

Every American with Cancer deserves the right to have safe, legal, access to Medical Marijuana.

Please call the White House comment line at (202) 456-1111 and ask that the President issue the order to remove it from Schedule 1 Today.

SSRI’s are far superior to pot as an anti-depressant .It DOES NOT kill pain,but increases appetite.It can exacerbate pain,and trigger psychotic episodes. I have seen that first hand.
In some states,you have to get a new medical marijuana every month,and pot doctors make a million a year,so decriminalization is the way to go;anyone who wants it can get it.Medical Marijuana keeps it illegal,and under government control.I hate the stuff.It gives me bronchitis,just like tobacco.Luckily I quit both 30 years ago.

You are full of shit. Take it from someone who KNOWS. SSRIs are not tolerated by everyone, they are not benign drugs, and they do NOT do anything for REAL pain, you moron. You have posted some of the most disgusting inappropriate sexual comments on this site, you need mental health help, because you are obviously addicted to porn or have serious behavioural problems. Any psychotic episodes clearly occurred to you and have never stopped. Apparently you are ignorant of the issues SSRIs present in a significant portion of the population. They have been around for decades–don’t you think it if they were effective pain killers the medical community would have noticed by now? The only drug allowed to be prescribed for mild pain is an SNRI anyway, and even that is highly questionable. But medical marijuana is prescribed for nausea to stop people from wasting away primarily, which SSRIs most certainly do nothing for. Shut up and sit down.

I can’t see any problems regulating marijuana for Medical needs the same way we regulate morphine

SC State University is an 1890-extension act school. Let them teach marijuana and hemp growing to small farmers in SC. Let a small crop tax help fund the bankrupt university.

It is time to end prohibition! It is our right as American Citizens. We should have a right to choose to partake in marijuana use as the same as alcohol. Let the cops do some real work & go after all the REAL drugs such as.heroin, cocaine, crack, & meth! That’s what law enforcement needs to be trying to fight! That’s why law enforment really wants to keep marijuana illegal so they don’t have to work as hard. They need to put our tax dollars to good use & get off there lazy bums & search for hard drugs.
