Alcoholic Bush

Many health experts compare the effects of marijuana very similar to the effects of alcohol. Any marijuana user who is educated on the subject knows that alcohol causes a much different effect- mind altering as well as the health effects. It has even been show in numerous studies that alcohol is much more harmful to the body and that the mind altered on alcohol is much more carless and prime for bad decisions. I have a question for u i thought would be an interesting argument, if George Bush who was an alcoholic in his earlier days had been a fequent marijuana user instead there is no way he would have been elected. What do u guys feel about the subject

Man-kind's biggest fear is common sense.

Would it have been much different? No. Would people have viewed it in a much different light? yes.

i don't know, he certainly wouldn't have been a republican conservative idiot nazi methinks

i don't understand how that's an argument... actually i really don't understand what you're trying to say. not trying to be hostile here i just sincerely have no idea what you're talkin about :)

he also has done coke too so i really doubt it would be any different if weed was switched out with coke or alcohol...he'd still be a bumbling idiot

PSYCHO! GROUPIE! COCAINE! CRAZY!
So, you want to see the show.
You really don't have to be a ho.
From the time you were a...
PSYCHO! GROUPIE! COCAINE! CRAZY!

I love that line

this country is infected with ignorance

makes me sad

as for the subject at hand

i don't really think it really matters

bush is an idiot

nuff said

and if I'm not mistaken clinton used to smoke pot, and he was president

and I loved clinton and if he could be re-elected he has my vote

Well, we do know Bush smoked weed. However I doubt it was a frequent thing, since he is flirting with fascism here, which is not pothead behavior.

But you're right, a pothead or ex-pothead probably could not make it to the presidency if people knew about it. Weed has had bad stereotypes associated with it ever since it was the drug of choice for the Mexican peasants and black jazz musicians in the 30s (thanks a lot Anslinger).

I suppose it doesn't really matter whether or not a weed smoker can become president. We all know the real path to social change is not through the ballot. We didn't vote the English monarchy away. We didn't vote slavery away. We didn't vote segregation away. We had to fight those things in the streets, and the same goes for drug prohibition and the plague of ignorance surrounding the issue of drugs.
