Mari Juana is a girl from Cuba, who's name was given to Cannabis to link it to "dirty mexicans".
Call it by it's name - Cannabis - Arnold!

Am I the only one who thinks it was a dumb thing to say? I interpret "marijuana is not a drug" as saying "Yes we know drugs are bad, but marijuana is not a drug, so it's not bad."
Of course it's a drug.

That's really more of an opinion, you really have to define what a drug is - and that usually results in splitting hairs.

I'd like to just hear ONE! decent argument for it being illegal, (in the face of such overwhelming benifits of legalization...) ... can anybody come up with anything? ...its like he said "ITS A FUCKIN LEAF!

hope this thread isnt to old to bump (15 days) but I think while we had a big margin here in Colorado for the same legalization(despite the fact that we have the highest percentage of per capita tokers from what I hear, and I believe it frankly) and that Denver approved it, the margin was less than they thought (I had a feeling it wouldnt pass, voted anyway)
I like how the DEA states people where tricked into thinking it was something else, but it was clear english on the ballot (would you like to approve up to one ounce of personal use marijuana for adults 21 and over) blatant lie on their part. BLATANT.

If you guys get a chance, download a speech called "THE GREEN WEDGE" by Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys. It's a 10 minute history lesson, or rant, about how marijuana became illegal.

Is it in any way factual?
Its probably not the best idea to get your information about actual events from punk rock musicians.

If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus

True.. Jello Biafra though got out of music (except for a few projects) and owning a record label a while back and got into politics. I haven't fact checked his statements.... but I might look into it.
Give it a listen though...
