I placed my comment in every marijuana dialogue to provide various reasons to legalize it. Yes, this is for the removal of marijuana from Sched. One category, but it is really much more than that. It's about special interests restricting or controlling this substance, and until there are enough financial considerations to outweigh the interests of Big Pharma and others, the deed will never be done. Thus my post. Years ago my (dec'd) wife used marinol to counter effects of chemo and it was very helpful for the short time she used it.

Legalize and decriminalize!
Allowing the Government to control growth and distribution of Marijuana will do numerous things to help our culture and economy.
1) Marijuana has never been known to be a problem drug for users and people near them.
A) Marijuana users are not prone to using violence to solve disputes with other users or non-users.
B) Marijuana users are not aggressive drivers, and are usually very cautious, unlike alcohol users.
C) Marijuana users are seldom involved in
criminal activities while using the drug.

2) Government distribution of Marijuana is good for the economy.
A) Taxes on marijuana use will contribute tens of millions of dollars in taxes, maybe more.
B) Tax dollars will no longer be needed to fight the illicit marijuana drug trade.
C) The American Court system will be relieved of a great financial and case load burden through legalization.
D) American law enforcement will be able to use their funds and resources to address more serious issues of crime.

3) Improvement in health issues.
A) Users of marijuana for health issues will have a reduction in costs for the product, allowing them to use their resources for other aspects of health recovery.
B) Consistency of the strength of marijuana products will be greatly improved, thus allowing health users a more predictable result.
C) Elimination of stress for "illicit" users of marijuana for medical purposes. Users will no longer fear being jailed for using marijuana to settle their stomach after chemo, or increase their appetite when disease has taken it away.

4) Marijuana by-products will be more available and scientific discoveries more frequent.
A) Fiber for paper and textiles can be provided by the farms that grow marijuana.
B) Oils from the rendering of plant fibers can be used for a myriad purposes including fuel, cooking and cosmetics.
C) Derivatives may include control of glaucoma, a serious eye problem that causes blindness.

As a non-user of marijuana, I see many more benefits than problems that will come about when the government takes control of this product. When marijuana and other drugs are controlled by government, fewer crimes will be committed in order to acquire the substances. Our society will be a much better place because of it. Government as an Ideal, should foster the personal and collective growth of it's members, not seek to punish them for their every transgression.
