Here is the response that I got from Kentucky:
Dear Mr. Cain:
Thank you for sharing your support for legislation that decriminalizes marijuana for adults. Drug abuse and addiction are issues that concern me greatly. Though we do not agree on this issue, I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
The American Medical Association and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, among others, have documented the negative impacts of marijuana use on the human body. The use of illegal drugs affects the quality of life for all Americans. Drug abuse, trafficking and the resulting violence negatively affects our communities and places undue burdens on the legal and healthcare systems. It is our responsibility to provide adequate resources for education about the harmful effects of drug use and resources for the treatment of addiction. If we strive to eliminate the problems resulting from drug use, we can provide a safe and promising future for our children.
HELP LEGALIZE MARIJUANA RIGHT NOW!!!
NORML is pleased to report that H.R. 5843, an “Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults,” has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Representatives Barney Frank and Ron Paul.

FACT
· Deaths per year resulting from alcohol: 100,000
· Deaths per year resulting from tobacco: 430,000
· Deaths per year resulting from aspirin: 180- 1000
· Deaths per year resulting from legal drugs: 106,000
· Deaths that have ever occurred in direct result of Cannabis: 0 (that’s right zero)
FACT
· Farming 6\% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops (Hemp) would provide all of America’s Energy needs.
· Biomass can be converted into methane, methanol, or gasoline (which could eliminate our ties with the Middle East) at a cost comparable to petroleum and hemp is much better for the environment.
· Hemp fuel burns clean. Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulfur pollution.
· The use of Hemp Fuel does not contribute to global warming
FACT
· Hemp seed can be pressed into nutritious oil, which contains the highest amount of fatty acids in the plant kingdom. Essential oils are responsible for our immune system responses, and can clear the arteries of cholesterol and plaque.
· The byproduct of pressing the oil from hemp seed is a high quality protein seed cake. It can be used to bake into cakes, breads and casseroles. Hemp seed protein is one of mankind’s finest, most complete, and available-to-the body vegetable proteins.
· A Vegan or vegetarian can get all of the days required protein from a handful of hemp seed.
FACT
· Hemp is the oldest cultivated fiber plant in the world.
· Low-THC fiber hemp varieties developed by the French and others have been available for over 20 years. It is impossible to get high from fiber hemp. Over 600,000 acres of hemp is grown worldwide with no misuse problem.
· One acre of hemp can produce as much usable fiber as 4 acres of trees or two acres of cotton.
· Trees cut down take 50-500 years to grow, while hemp can be cultivated in as little as 100 days and can yield 4 times more paper over a 20 year period.
· Until 1883, from 75-90\% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber including that for books, Bibles, maps, paper money, stocks and bonds, newspapers, etc.
· Hemp paper is longer lasting than wood pulp, stronger, acid-free, and chlorine free (Chlorine is estimated to cause up to 10\% of all Cancers).
· Hemp paper can be recycled 7 times, wood pulp 4 times.
· Hemp particleboard may be up to 2 times stronger than wood particleboard and holds nails better.
· Hemp is a softer, warmer, and more water absorbent, than cotton and doesn’t stretch out.
· Half of the U.S. pesticides are used to treat cotton, while hemp has a natural pesticide.
FACT
· Almost any product that can be made from wood, cotton, or petroleum (including plastics) can be made from hemp. There are 25,000 known uses for hemp.
· For thousands of years virtually all good paints and varnishes were made with hemp seed oil and/or linseed oil.
· One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees, making hemp a perfect material to replace trees for pressed board, particle board, and concrete construction molds.
· Heating and compressing plant fibers can create a practical, inexpensive, fire-resistant constructions material with excellent thermal and sound-insulating qualities.
· In 1941 Henry Ford built a plastic car made of fiber from hemp and wheat straw. Hemp is biodegradable, as synthetic plastic is not.
FACT
· Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic.

Anyone who hates on marijuana either got too carried away with it or have never tried it. I smoke but I don’t like the feeling. I only smoke because it has extreme medicinal value. You can totally be responsible with weed. I’d be much more worried about the drunks out on the street than the people who are just in a feel good mood/relaxed. Do you see people committing up crimes cause they’re stoned? Not really, as much as the rest of the pop. Drunk? Definitely.

I was arrested in Ringgold, Georgia for growing 2 plants. They were only 5 inches in height and got a $5,000.00 fine and 5 years of probation. The reason I smoke is to numb the pain in my back and my left leg which was shattered by a drunk driver in 1993. Even after explaining to the judge why I use and grow my own I was still found guilty. Its about time the government get its head out of its ass! I love my country but to deny us the right to choose is WRONG! We have been heard!!!

Even worse, is that it should have never been made illegal, and it was made illegal for the wrong reasons.

marijuana has been proven NOT to cause cancer, the leaf materail being burned inflames the pours and receptors in the lungs, the nicotine will start to stimulate the inflamed pour and thus happening causing cancer, with marijuana the THC inhibits the growth and thus not allowing the cancer to start. so smoke on!

Show me one case of a cannabis only user getting lung cancer, there isnt ONE case.
Seriously, your saying it causes schizophrenia, what is this 1937, It WORSENS schizophrenia, get your facts straight.
The addictiveness, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, is COMPLETELY in the mentallity of the personal user, not because of cannabis.
“tar build up in the lungs from one weed is? equivalent to 5 cigarettes”
“one weed” wtf does that term mean, and you dont have smoke it to use it btw.

@thedirtynasty it will get addictive, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and schizophrenia, risk of heart attack, increases both blood pressure and heart rate and reduces oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, and although smoking is worse, tar build up in the lungs from one weed is equivalent to 5 cigarettes and gives although no where near as bad as cigarettes but gives a higher risk of lung cancer none the less, I say a little weed but not as much some of you’s smoke, keep safe.
