    @O’Brien Michael: There’s nothing evil or toxic about cannabis. A herb that, in over 10,000 years of use by humans has never been responsible for a single recorded death anywhere. I would agree with you regarding Valium which has been responsible for so many deaths and yet is still prescribed by doctors and dispensed by chemists all over the country. Ironically, cannabis helps many of the same symptoms including anxiety and insomnia and does so without any of the risks that come with Valium. The only dangerous thing about cannabis is the fact that it’s still illegal but that’s going to change over the next few years.

    We all know already what’s going to happen to these toxic criminals; they’ll get one hell of a real severe “sentence”. That’ll learn ‘em.
