I am a 64-year-old woman who has given this subject a great deal of thought. I have been using medical marijuana for a number of years. It is the best thing I have ever found for pain relief and mood stabilization. While I have always been able to find my medicine while I'm in Belize it is always with a certain amount of anxiety. It is absolutely ridiculous that this God-given substance is illegal anywhere.

These are some of my ideas and thoughts - marijuana should be legalized,regulated and taxed. All taxing proceeds should be dedicated to drug education,treatment,and interdiction for harder drugs. Watch the pricing though, or the black market will still flourish.

This may sound a little goofy but I've even thought about turning the Hattieville prison into a marijuana farm. I mean, who's going to break into a prison to steal marijuana? Also Hattieville's incarcerated residents would do all the farming,have access to the product and would go to sleep every night singing songs instead of trying to do each other harm.

The local police stations could be used as dispensaries. I know the possibilities for corruption are there, but once again who's going to break into a police station to steal marijuana?

Also I like the idea of causing the drug cartels some pain.

I'm really looking forward to where this thread goes.
