Ok, this is kind of a "taboo" subject. But a great book. This book is a New York Times best seller, you may have heard of it you may not have. But anyways it's called "Reefer Madness". It has the opinion of the cops to the opinion of the "growers", and it really opens up a different side of the story. This book goes into detail about how the government is putting people in jail for LIFE if caught selling pot, if they can get the charges to that extent. When the average jail time in the US is only 11 years for killing another human being! I personally find this to be insanity. studies have been done that proves smoking pot less harmful than drinking alcohol and no more damaging than smoking tobacco. Now in this book it shows the opinions of many people, it shows the darker side of pot and also the helpful side ( meds ). The reason for me posting this is as follows: This book is a great and accurate source for people who are either for or against it(pot) to look, and just read about these real life cases. I'm not trying to sway your opinions. So I'll leave it at this, It's a great book, and opened my eyes to the unjustice of this subect.

In my opinion if drinking is legal so should smoking pot. Now in this book it shows the opinions of many people, it shows the darker side of pot and also the helpful side ( meds ).
