For each State there is a link to the actual law and
also an easy-to-read summary of the law

***************

There is no substitute for having a lawyer represent you when you get into trouble. These laws are not to be used as an official legal reference, but it should be useful to both users who want to know what they’re risking, and to the general public to learn more about the resources being wasted on incarcerating marijuana offenders.

    This map is a great picture of how far marijuana drug laws have changed. Over the years more states have looked at the decriminalization of marijuana, until passing the law fully that it is legal to carry. Can’t wait to see what this will look like next year.

      People quite often hate what they don’t understand, you see, the people in the government are cozied up in bed with  Big Corporation…(petro-chemical companies, pharmaceutical companies, monoculture factory farming, etc) . It is the big companies that pay and bribe politicians to pass laws that have only the companies best interests at heart. Now, the sole purpose of a corporation is to grow indefinitely to increase returns to their investors no matter what the cost to it’s consumers….this greed makes corporations do very horrific things with absolutely no regard for our planet or human life. For example, just look at all the ads for pharmaceutical drugs on t.v. We are not even referred to as American citizens anymore, we are American “consumers”. Chemical drugs are created to mask and suppress symptoms, but not to CURE them. It wouldn’t be very profitable for the drug company to give you a pill that cures you, because then you don’t have to pay them stupid money for it every month for the rest of your life…and remember, the drug company’s TOP priority is profits, not helping people. If they really wanted to help people, they would not treat people for arthritis with a shot that can give you lymphoma cancer or any number of drugs that have side effects such as heart attack, stroke, blood clots or seizure…even suicide! My grandmother took avandia for diabetes for two and a half years…she had a stroke 5 years ago and has been bed ridden ever since…she will never walk again as long as she lives…she needs round the clock care…she poops in a bedpan…a very humiliating life. As a result of being bed ridden for so long, she now has blood clots in her groin and lungs. Her life was stolen away by a drug company all because they list making their stockholders rich at the top of their priorities over helping people get better. And lets not forget addiction! I have an Aunt who is a zombie of her former self from 10 years of abusing narcotic pain pills….NOW, on to medical marijuana…I highly recommend you go over to youtube and watch “Run for the Cure” this will prove to you that marijuana cures cancer, and if you do your research you will find that it can be used for many different dibilitating ailments…all naturally with absolutely no deadly side effects. You cannot overdose on it.  All over the world animals and people have used plants as medicine from the beginning of time. We humans actually have canabanoid receptors in our brains to receive the canabanoids from marijuana…why else would our body be designed with receptors for the substance that comes from one specific plant? The only reason that marijuana is illegal (and don’t even get me started on hemp!) is because the Pharmaceutical Industry doesn’t want it to be….and that is the ONLY reason. One day the chains of oppression will be broken from our limbs and we can rise up and reclaim the Earth before all the Earth raping industries consume her into nothing. Free your mind.

      Why did you come to a pro-marijuana blog to get answers on why it’s “bad”?ÂÂ

      The only true drawbacks of medical marijuana are that it interferes with short-term memory, it decreases coordination, it can increase the risk of getting schizophrenia, and it is not fantastic for your lungs or immune system. But alcohol causes most of these as well, and you don’t have to smoke marijuana to get high, you can eat foods cooked with cannabis or vaporize.ÂÂ

      I understand why you wouldn’t want to smoke it, but I don’t understand how you can hate it. It’s safer than any of the legal vices and it really does help people with cancer, multiple scerosis, etc.ÂÂ
