		<description>I just read the NPR transcript. These people are insane. More emergency room visits??? Why??? That doesn&#039;t even make sense, and isn&#039;t even explained. It is nothing more than a random comment meant to scare people who just don&#039;t know any better. Then this dumb guy mentions an increase in potency??Really?? The legalization would promote a cost leadership situation where people would in turn attempt to produce as much product at the smallest cost possible, as opposed to the product differentiation that we have now; people actually competing for your business through the sell of smaller quantities that recieve much more attention through out the cultivation process. Next they say that kids will start to smoke pot more if it is made legal?? Really???? At least they address that kids already drink and smoke cigarettes, what they don&#039;t adress is the FACT that illegal drugs are easier for underage teens to obtain that alcohol, cigarettes, or anything that they have to go to the local store to purchase for that matter. Making it legal would make it extremely more difficult for children to purchase, recieve, find, etc. Lastly, that professor that said it deteriorated mylan sheeth in children and young adolesents; so does alcohol. Dont let our kids drink or smoke... anything!!!  That is not the federal governments responsibility, it is the parents. As far as marijuana keeping you home from work and school, then you have a bigger problem, this could have easily been to blame on alcohol, or heroin, or cocane, and in most cases it is; NOT marijuana. I am a full time college student that makes amazing grades and am a PROUD smoker of the herb. I deeply believe that the real threat of legalization to which our country cowers  is the useful resource of hemp taking over the cotton and textile industries. This way of thinking that was presented to our country via NPR is ancient and ignorant, and will be done away with soon. I still cannot believe the level at which this story was presented in comparison to the disappointing amount of research of which was obviously not done on the matter.</description>

		<description>What &quot;if&quot; gramma had testicles?
She&#039;d be grampa!
What &quot;if&quot; marijuana were legal?
NPR calls it a scenario, and let&#039;s pretend.   All things considered, their &quot;experts&quot; are great pretenders.   NPR calls it an exercise.   But, is it a exercise in futility.   They ought to pretend like they know what they are talking about, take their own advice, and mellow out.   By the way...we all know that NPR has been leaned on, but once again this is a perfect example why we should enforce the Information/Data Quality Act, whether the DEA likes it or not.   Like Moses said...&quot;They are...who they are.&quot;</description>

		<description>NPR needs to get its head out of the Reefer Madness era and get its facts straight. Obviously law enforcement will lie... maybe they should go to someone who is knowledgeable about the effects of drugs.</description>

		<description>So...what&#039;s new.   It&#039;s just another truck load of the SOS.   If 80% of We the People lean on anything to make our point...it should be the Information/Data Quality Act.  Any information, past, present or future disseminated should be based on science not politics, and any false or misrepresentations should be immediately corrected.   Remember...their production number was just another little play, and almost as funny as Refer Madness.</description>

		<description>Hate to continue on this subject about how everyone is saying how bad NPR got it so wrong... Now we can see why other non-mainstreamers feel - they are not being heard and understood.

OBAMA!  What is AUDACITY?  Is it ONLY campaign RETORIC?

WE ARE EXPECTING SOOOO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!!!</description>
