Exactly right, pursuit of happiness. If medical pot helps me with my pain and suffering should it not be allowed by the constitution!

Don't forget Vaping is much healtier tha smoking as well.
I don't really want to get HIGH I just want help with my PAIN. I can control vaping better than ingestion. Just a small hit helps reduce my pain to be able to do some work and get around.
I didn't read all the comments but am sure someone mentioned why pot was made illegal and the powers that be are heavily intrenched in oil and all of its wonders and miracle products, and environmental benefits of oil. Now if we had used more hemp maybe we wouldn't have all these little anoyances in the gulf! You no we can trust the government and BP (Bad People) to take care of us and all our problems!
Thank GOD we are here for such a short time. But GOD help our decendents....
Go ahead President OBlahBlah and do something for the people and help legalize this natural miracle product...........
Crytek Dev On Fun vs. Realism In Game Guns 324
An anonymous reader tips a post from Pascal Eggert, a gun enthusiast and Crytek developer, who sheds some light on how weaponry in modern shooters is designed. Quoting:
"Guns in games are like guns in movies: it is all about looks, sounds and clichés. Just like in the movies, games have established a certain perception of weapons in the mind of the public and just like in movies games get almost everything wrong. ... The fact is that we are not trying to simulate reality but are creating products to provide entertainment. ... if you want to replicate the looks of something you need to at least see it, but using it is even better. You should hold a gun in your hands, fire it and reload it to understand what does what — and at that point you will realize, there is nothing on it that does not have a function — because guns are tools for professionals. Lot of weapon designers in the game industry get that wrong. They think of guns like products for consumers or magic devices that kill people at a distance when really it's just a simple and elegant mechanism that propels little pieces of metal. Unfortunately 3D artists often only get access to the photos that Google Image Search comes up with if you enter 'future assault rifle' or, even worse, pictures from other games and movies that also got it wrong. This may explain a lot of common visual mistakes in games, especially since guns are mostly photographed from the side and egoshooters show weapons from the first person view."
