Mr. South. I hope you read this message, first let me say that this whole thing sound’s like some sort of black mail or coerzion, that if you don’t agree with the power’s that be ,you will be punished!lose your position
isn’t it supposed to be the american way to have your own vote, and not someone else’s.without fear of
retribution?that’s the entire problem with this country
these day’s,vote like we vote,or else see ya, if a person
believe’s in something we have to stick to our gun’s,
or lose part of our soul.does any one remember the
story of sodem & gomorrah, from the bible?about
how there was so much sexual imorality,and lewdness
and filthy thing’s going on that GOD! turned the entire
place to salt! all this gay marriage inundo, is heading
us in that direction, let all us GOD fearing people
pray that those thing’s don’t happen to us here in the
USA,.at least give me the chance to walk away and not look back.gay marriage and using marijuana,
are two totality different thing’s, it say’s in GENSIS,
in the bible, that GOD,gave us every green,seed bearing herb,to use as meat for us, just like lion’s eat meat to be the king of the jungle,I have never seen two
lion’s having gay sex in my life.and i pray that i never will.I believe that there would be a lot less problem’s
than people think, if marijuana,were legal, we need to
test the water for a couple of years, just to see!
those are my thought’s thank’s for letting me have them.

just goes to show how stupid our elected officials are they would rather beat you than rather help you. How is it justified to be a drunk than to smoke one and have an inteligent discussions. when you get drunk there is no discussions smoke one and you can still talk to that person. But its ok to be a drunk in america go georgia we have some pretty ignorant people that run our state do you agree?

Comment on Mexico May Decriminalize Marijuana by Adam

” I am writing to express my concern over a recent trend developing largely over the last few months. There has been an explosion in support for the legalization of marijuana. This is a terrible idea! If marijuana were to be legal, my entire business would be destroyed overnight. My company, a Mexican drug cartel, makes most of its money from marijuana. In 2004-2005 Mexican drug cartels grossed $8.6 billion from marijuana alone. That’s a huge amount of money that would no longer go to my cartel and others, but instead into the US economy. How could any industry continue to exist if all of a sudden, $8.6 billion was cut out from their income? After all, the next best selling drug is cocaine, but that only brings in $3.9 billion a year, less than half the amount marijuana does.
Plus, reports from other countries that have legalized or decriminalized marijuana have all shown a decrease in the demand for harder drugs, so the $3.9 billion from cocaine would also be drastically reduced.
Please keep the illegal drug trade profitable by keeping marijuana illegal.”
