" I would encourage those of you that have not made up your mind on this issue, especially parents to check out a great web site that talks about drug use. Sign up for the news letter. Be sure and go to the virtual tour of the brain and pay attention to the effects that marijuana has on the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This part of the brain does not develop until an individual reaches an age into the mid twenties. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for judgement and reasoning, as well as decision making.

" You really are out of the loop, and quite ignorant. It is people like you who blame EVERYTHING on an herb that does absolutely NO harm to ANYONE. I bet you're a closet drinker, and want the attention focused on anything other than alcohol. Go get a little more educated on the subject before you bring your nonsense to the attention of others. "

Actually Congress is on the verge of decriminalizing marijuana in a bi-partisan bill. Your "reefer madness" viewpoint is fading, despite the "super-grass" propaganda. "

YOU PROBABLY DID NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THE SONG I REFERED TO. SO YOU MIGHT DRINK... YOU MIGHT SMOKE... I AM NOT SAYING LETS JUST LEGALIZE IT WITHOUT REGULATION, BUT THE POLITICS ARE JUST SO CORRUPT IN OTHER AREAS AROUND RURAL COMMUNITIES, THAT WE MIGHT AS WELL LEGALIZE IT CAUSE THE OTHER THINGS PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH IS A LOT WORSE THAN SITTING AT HOME AND SMOKING A "J" "

Things are different now, because growing dope has gone from being an agricultural occupation to a laboratory project. The LEGALIZE MARIJUANA flag is tattered and torn--like your brain will be if you continue to be a consumer/patron of the bong shop. "

" --SAM--
YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT. THE RISKS ARE ALL THE SAME FROM THE 70'S. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE HIGHER THC CONTENT WEED DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS NOT MELLOW. THE MORE THE THC THE MORE MELLOW. EVERYTIME I RUN OUT I DO NOT THINK TO MYSELF "WHO CAN I ROB" OR "WHAT CAN I STEAL" TO GET MORE. FIRST OFF BEING HIGH MAKES PEOPLE MELLOW (LAZY) SO NO VIOLENT CRIMES ARE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HIGH. I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOLPE BEING CAUGHT DOING STUPID STUFF BLAME WEED CAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR THIER OWN ACTIONS. SECOND OFF, THINGS (DRUGS, CRIME) WERE HAPPENING A LOT LESS IN THE 70'S, AND WOULD HAPPEN A LOT LESS IF THE GOVERNEMENT WOULD FOCUS THIER POWERS TO GETTING ALCOHOL ILLEGAL. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SET BACKS TO SMOKING WEED, THERE ARE A LOT MORE SET BACKS FROM DRINKING ALCOHOL. TAKE A PUFF AND CHILL OUT SAM. EDUCATE YOURSELF MORE ON MARIJUANA TO SEE THAT THERE ARE NOT CHEMICALS INTRODUCED IN NATURAL WEED, OUR METHODS OF GROWING HAVE JUST IMPROVED. AS FAR AS DOWNTOWN IS CONCERNED MAYBE THE CITY OFFICIALS COULD MAKE IT CHEAPER TO START A BUSINESS ON OREGON STREET. OR MAYBE CATER TO SOME OF THE BIGGER STORES THAT USED TO BE ABLE TO THRIVE THERE. JUST BECAUSE A HEAD SHOP IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF DOWNTOWN DOES NOT MEAN THAT OUR DOWNTOWN IS SUFFERING. SAM, DO NOT KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU HAVE TRIED IT. ALL INTERESTED MAYBE SHOULD LISTEN TO BEN HARPERS "BURN ONE DOWN" SONG AND APPLY IT TO REAL WORLD THEORY. "

" Wow. This is a segment of the community not often heard from. If your knowledge on the risks and hazards of marijuana-smoking isn't newly up-to-date you should sign up for a class. The mellow "weed" of the 70's no longer exists. ANYTHING we can do to keep this new toxic, chemically-laden sh** out of the hands (or pipes) of our residents should be done. And that includes making literature which supports this sub-culture unavailable. Downtown is starved for business, but this business is detrimental to all concerned. "

" "Miller is allowed to deplete her inventory of Cannabis Culture and High Times magazines but only if those copies are sold before the end of the year."
This is an egregious and total misuse of government. We have a First Amendment. To force someone not to sell or display a printed product is a criminal act, if we believe the Constitution to be law. To solve any problem, all sides must be available and all points of view aired. When government steps in to short circuit that process, no matter what the problem is, the solution becomes more difficult and obscure. Far from halting the taking of controlled substances, the government has added to the problem, rather than worked toward a solution because they have violated the spirit of the First Amendment, which is intended to allow the free flow of information necessary to solve the problem.
