Marijuana eradacation program against health

Was there not a news segment very recently about prisoners doing time for meth and cocaine being released 27 months early? This was decided by the Supreme court.

I mention this, because it seems to me that marijuana is a lesser crime, yet there seems to be a large cost expended and more attention with this issue than the other mentioned above. At least, locally, agreed?

CAMP has been in existence for nearly 20 years, I believe. In all the reports we read in the paper, or hear on the TV has only shown numbers of plants and estimated value. As with the currect article publish in the Times-Standard today.

I bring this view up, because in many views the legalization of marijuana for medical use by the Federal Government should be done, as it already is within 11 States, I believe. It may even be thought to be rightfully just as legal as alcohol is and treated as such.

If CAMP was so important to the eradication and prevention program, why do they not demonstrate in the articles the effects on society, socially as well as medically? It seems this would provide a stronger case against marijuana if it was for anything else but to harrass the public.

People never think of the babies and kids allergic to these plants during flower time in their home. There have been fires, and floods and kids are living, against their will, and often mother's too because of GREEDY fathers who have chosen the simple grow life over the safety of their children. I a in a custody battle right now. My child, like I have rashes, we sneeze, cough, get sore throats and ear infections from the plant dander or pollen and the multiple chemicals used. This 215 stuff is bogus. If you have cancer or something, fine, but paying $125 for a Prescription to sell and possibly hurt other individuals is not cool. Do you know how many of these Hippy wanna be greedy rednecks smoke around their kids???? It's time everyone look at the entire picture. You have 20 something year old parents with kids going to schools like Coastal Grove smelling like weed. Who protects the mothers and the kids? We are 6 hours from civilization?
