"Even if one takes every reefer
madness allegation of the
prohibitionists at face value,
marijuana prohibition has done
far
more harm to far more people
than
marijuana ever could." - William F. Buckley Jr.- Conservative Author, Commentator, Syndicated Newspaper Columnist
"Make the most you can of the Indian
Hemp seed and sow it
everywhere."
- George Washington, U.S.
President quote on Hemp
"We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our
own consumption."
- John Adams, U.S. President, Vice President, and Father of the Navy -
quote on Hemp
"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
marijuana 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 marijuana."
- Jimmy Carter, U.S. President
quote on Marijuana
"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?"
- Henry Ford - Inventor, Founder Ford Motor Co. - quote on
Marijuana
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."
- Carl Sagan - Astronomer, Astrophysicist, Author - quote on
Marijuana
"The ‘War on Drugs’ has failed - but it's worse than that. It is
actively harming our society. Violent crime is thriving in the shadows
to which the drug trade has been consigned. "
"People who genuinely need help can't get it. Neither can people who
need medical marijuana to treat terrible diseases. We are spending

"I enjoy smoking cannabis and see no harm in it".
- Jennifer Aniston - Actress, Ranked #8 on "Forbes Most Powerful Celebrities List"- quote on
Marijuana
"The
prestige of government has
undoubtedly
been lowered considerably by
the
prohibition law. For nothing
is more
destructive of respect for the
government and the law of the
land
than passing laws which cannot
be
enforced. It is an open secret
that
the dangerous increase of
crime in
this country is closely
connected with
this."
- Albert Einstein - Physicist, Philosopher, Nobel Prize Recipient - quote on Marijuana
"That is not a drug. It’s a leaf,"
- Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California, Actor, Body Builder

wealth & protection of the
country."
- Thomas Jefferson, U.S.
President, Vice President, quote on Hemp
"It really puzzles me to see marijuana
connected with narcotics . . .
dope
and all that crap. It's a
thousand
times better than whiskey -
it's an
assistant - a friend."
- Louis Armstrong - Famous Jazz Trumpeter, Musician, Singer - quote on
Marijuana
"If John Lennon is deported, I'm leaving too...with my musicians..and
my marijuana."
- Art Garfunkel - Singer, Poet, Actor - quote on
Marijuana
"When I was a kid I inhaled
frequently. That was the
point."

smoke it, but I like the smell
of it."
- Andy Warhol - Artist - quote on
Marijuana
"When a private enterprise fails,
it is closed down; when a
government
enterprise fails, it is
expanded.
Isn’t that exactly what’s been
happening with drugs?"
