* "I don't know what is marijuana. Perhaps I will try it when it will no longer be criminal. I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand,"
o Jean Chretien, former Prime Minister of Canada, on the decriminalization of Marijuana

* Please don't throw your shit at me... unless that shit resembles a bag of marijuana
o Les Claypool

* Legalize it, and I will advertise it.
o Peter Tosh

* "Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?"
o Henry Ford

* If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.
o Terence McKenna

* Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana... We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.
o Dan Quayle U.S. Representative and Vice president (March 1977)

* Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
o Ronald Reagan, U.S. President (1980-1988)

* I have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE. "Hey, buddy!" "Hey, what?" "Ummmmmmm...." End of argument.
o Bill Hicks

* It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend.
o Louis Armstrong

* "Marijuana is taken by '.....musicians. And I'm not speaking about good musicians, but the jazz type...
o Harry J. Anslinger, Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 1948

* Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere!
o George Washington in a note to his gardener at Mount Vernon (1794), The Writings of George Washington, Volume 33, page 270 (Library of Congress)
o Washington also recorded his concern that the male and female plants be seperated:

May 12-13 1765: Sowed Hemp at Muddy hole by Swamp.
August 7, 1765: —began to seperate (sic) the Male from the Female Hemp at Do —rather too late.

Some assert his interest in separating the male and female plants is an indication that he may have used Indian hemp medicinally to treat his chronic tooth aches. Others note that fiber of the male and female hemp plants have a different optimum harvest times.

* Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana.
o Jimmy Carter, U.S. President in a message to the U.S. Congress (1977)

* When I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale.
o Bill Clinton, U.S. President (1993-2001)

* I never understood that line. The point was to inhale. That was the point.
o Barack Obama, When asked, "Unlike other presidents, did you inhale?"

* You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.
o Michael Bloomberg - New York City Mayor, when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.

* "I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better."
o Frank Zappa

* The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.
o Carl Sagan

* Not just pot rights.. but grass rights.. the right of grass not to be mowed.
o O Anna Niemus

* A poem: Slowly the foreign air enter me. I feel tingles and sensations. My life becomes a fantasy. Cannabis now rules thee.
o Thaddeus

*

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

Herb the gift from the earth,
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse.
o Ben Harper

* "I think that marijuana makes you stupid but sensual. I've watched many of my friends and loved ones become more erotic and dumber--just going around with a glazed expression on their faces from their last orgasms to the next--and found them really quite boring."
o Timothy Leary

* Marijuana is addictive in the sense that all great things in life are worth repeating
o Jenna Sheehan

* "Hey, hey, hey. Smoke weed everyday."

*
o Dave Chappelle


&&& Dr.Dre said that too(dave chappelle Q)

"After the war had ended and Mexicans had begun to immigrate into the South Eastern United States, there were relatively few race problems. There were plenty of jobs in agriculture and industry and Mexicans were willing to work cheap. Once the depression hit and jobs became scarce, however, Mexicans suddenly became a public nuisance. It was said by politicians (who were trying to please the White working class) that Mexicans were responsible for a violent crime wave. Police statistics showed nothing of the sort -- in fact Mexicans were involved in less crime than Whites. Marijuana, of course, got the blame for this phony outbreak of crime and health problems, and so many of these states made laws against using cannabis. (In the Northern states, marijuana was also associated with Black jazz musicians.)" from http://cannabis.hivemind.net/faq.htm#1-5

thats hilariouse,thanks for posting it:)
got any others? i came accross those building a file of links for a coworker who thinks pot is "horrible for you",he has wanted to try it for years but
was scared/wouldnt know where/how to get/smoke..lol he told me this when he caught me smoking on break(he refused my offer then,lol) so i figure it's best to educate the ignorent(my coworker) lucky thing is if he decides he likes it he can grow his own from the start.

o Harry J. Anslinger, Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 1948


This is the best one of all. It not only shows that Anslinger didn't know anything about pot, but that he didn't know shit about jazz either.
