Students Fight for Weed

so, is it the drugs keeping our children out of school or our overzealous drug laws doing so?? This is a major point for de-criminalization.

They should use drugs as the reward for good behavior or accomplishment. Making them illegal just associates them with the shady criminals and stupid/lower-class elements of our population that are the last people that should be doing them.

If the government would let us grow, we could pay for our tuition without straining the resources of the Financial aid department. Then inner-city youths would have a real chance at going to college.

Don't let anyone stop you guys. Remember what Teddy Roosevelt said about reform; "There are plenty of scoundrels always ready to try to belittle reform movements or to bolster up existing iniquities in the name of Americanism; but this does not alter the fact that the man who can do most in this country is and must be the man whose Americanism is most sincere and intense."

good on em.

weed should be legalized.

Why not make the job you are seeking the factor?

If you want to be a teacher.. weed non-allowed

want to be a trash-man... weed allowed

Those are some motivated potheads.

Also, I remember when they attached that penalty to the financial aid. America was sinking towards the right at the time. It was supposed to deter the use of marijuana, but it did nothing except spoil the promising future of some Americans.

Politicians are such chicken shit assholes. I would love to look into the closets of these guys that folded. Someone has some pictures.....uhoh, there's those pesty black helicopters circling overhead again.....gotta go

Keep fighting!!!

You have to respect there go get'em attitude but I can think of more important issues. I hate to see the one kid penalized because of a law that can be manipulated. Whatever happened to live and learn and second chances?

Im voting for these 2 d00ds

ITS NOT THE WEED KEEPING KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL...IT S THE COST,IF YOU CANT HANDLE IT DONT SMOKE IT...FOR THE TWO GUYS VOTE FOR THEM...WEED HELPS SICK PEOPLE...IT MIGHT HELP YOU!!DONT BLAME THE ERB,DOCTERS,POLICE,SCIENTIST,TEACHERS ARE KNOW TO SMOKE..SO IF YOU CANT HANDLE STAY AWAY..

"Weed is not a drug. I've done the research. It just grows like that....thats not the same as drugs. You have to do stuff to drugs, chemically. You have to add baking soda, water, stir it up, I don't know the receipe I'm just saying!"

as a wise man once said to me:

"weed doesn't make you stupid, stupid makes you stupid"

great job that we have youth represented to take on youth issues that really matter...

Flipriza.....Is it an issue that really matters? Is it right up there with global warming, the war in Iraq, gas prices, a slumping economy, over crowding of our jails, abortion, capital punishment, etc.....

notreallybutyeah

You are definitely thinking on a much deeper level then I was when I first read this story. I was going to send a response trying to debate you but I can't......I think you are right-on with what you are saying......Our judicial system lacks a backbone and is in "business" to make money.....When it comes to drugs it is not in business to clean up society or solve our drug problems, but to make money and make sure the money makers keep coming back. They can't or wont go after the main players in the drug game because they need them in business to supply the judicial system with the money makers(drug users). Now prison is another subject that is fueled by drugs. 90 percent of inmates are in prison for something related to drugs. It is definitely a vicious circle that our government doesn’t' want to end.

right brain,

weed causes baldness, and stupidity.

Awesome clay,

but I usually give my trashman a case of beer every christmas. What is cheaper? A case of Bud light or weed?

God bless big oil
God bless all of the pot heads who did not get the job that I have (kind-a like natural selection, meaning companies won't hire you)

how can we as a society tackle big issues like stem cell research and capital punishment when we cant get passed the simplest of issues like wether or not marijuana should be legal. its sad that these guys who just want to do the right thing have to fight for this. how many other things could they be doing with thier time. if its ok for tobacco to addict and kill thier customers why is weed illegal. we accept all the lives lost or damaged as a result of alcohol but i cant smoke a joint?i hope these guys can fix this situation so that one day our governments time can be dedicated to things of true importance.

Just remember - the same politicians who vote this stuff down are the ones who are going back to their office to blow cocaine off of hookers' chests, then home to beat their wives after a few strong cocktails.

Well, ok. Not all of them. I'll play fair - I'm guessing like 73%

The rest just think we're all going to be left behind when Jesus comes back.

Lame.

That should have passed. It's a small amount. It's like if you stab someone you're not sentenced to life in prison unless you like stab them a lot and they DIE.

Measure of how much does matter....in everything. DUH.
