Question by Dr Jazz ?? E??l A???????™??: Is religious fanaticism blocking comprehensive drug reform?

Some religious fanatics are attempting to block modern drug reform because if people are smoking it their interest in religion would statistically decline. Plus, a less violent society would mean less revenue for churches because less people would be victims of violence and turn to disreality out of fear. Church participation spiked sharply right after 9-11-2001.

Question by A: Survey about Marijuana?
I’m doing a final project for my class and had an opinion poll that I wanted to ask anyone who would like to participate:
1) Have you ever used marijuana?
2) Have you ever committed a crime, misdemeanor or felony?
3) Do you believe marijuana can be used as a mental and/or physical healing agent?
4) Do you continue to use marijuana? If so, how long have you used it? If not, how long did you use it?
5) Do you believe alcohol or marijuana is more dangerous?
6) Do you support the legalization of marijuana?

If you could help me out on this I’d really appreciate it. If you don’t feel comfortable asking one or more of the questions, then just leave them blank or put N/A and if you haven’t used marijuana, just put N/A for #4 as well, thanks!
