Canada is going through the same issues at the moment. I remember when I lived in London how laid back everyone was about that. I hope Brown and his idiotic policies (I follow UK politics a little) don't continue forward.

Have you noticed that ever since awareness of the benefits of MJ has started to rise and as the medical community has started supporting it, the government has stopped touting the health problems it supposedly causes? I remember they used to talk about brain damage or some stupid shit, and now they just try to propagate stereotypes. Instead of saying "hey kids, it's bad for your health, don't do it" like they used to now they are saying "hey kids, you won't be cool, don't do it"... Well, they've always tried to make it look uncool, but they haven't pushed the stereotype before.
Morons. Unfortunately they deceive the vast majority of US citizens. I blame the lack of focus on education in the US for that.
I'm rambling now, sorry. :jointsmile:

These kids don't have a fucking chance. And it's maddening to me. But luckily there has always been people in the world that question authority and the common practices that are involved with it.
People like you and me and every other member of sites like this one. There's hope yet.
Haha yes I have seen this! and here's what's fucked up even more, just like last week they passed the one where the kid lights his car on fire, then literally RIGHT after that one they passed one on how alcohol kills more ppl in this state then any other "drug" combined.Quote:

every time I see that cacoon one I'm like damn that's a LOT of bud I want some of that! :jointsmile:
Im pritty sure I was reading an article or someones post on a form although I dont remember which one, but he made a good point:
-The government wants pot to be illegal because it's hard for them to make money off of it. Some people think that marijuana is illegal because it is 'bad' for you, if that was the case then ciggarettes and alcohol who be banned to, but they aren't because the government can make money from them.
- Its relitivly easy to grow and distribute marijuana on your own, tax free. The government would have no way to know your information or keep track of distributers and manufactors to force taxation. Thus.. they made it illegal
I don't know about you, but it sounds like a pritty good reason to me. There's probibly many more 'reasons' but this one sure made a lot of sence to me.
Makes cents to me!:hippy:
I get extremely angry sometimes, but I have to keep repeating to myself, "they're just unevolved psychopathic animals"
Did our ancestors gain independence from Britain through peaceful negotiations?
Nope. They killed for it, and they wanted their children to do just the same if peace fails to work. Fighting is the last thing I'd ever want to do, but I accept the possibility that one day we may have to take real action to preserve our way of life. It worries me greatly, but I like to think of happy thoughts.
To criminalize an ancient healing herb and persecute its users so harshly is clear evidence of some kind of mental disorder; a disease.
Those that destroy our personal freedoms are no different than sociopaths and psychopaths... they all suffer from some form of psychological disorder. To think any less of them would be a crime on our part. Even big corporations fit the general psychological profile of having antisocial personality disorder... freaky shit.
Make no mistake; we are being repressed by a mass majority of mentally disturbed groups of people. All the education in the world won't convince them that they are the crazy ones. They will continue to propagate their lies, infecting the young minds of our society within the education system that they require us by law to submit to.
We need more people to infiltrate the system of government to help us gain back our freedoms. It's a very long process and not guaranteed to work; the only other option is revolution.
How long can we hold our ground and play the Peace card? Nearly a 1/4 of the states have made some success, but the heart of the beast still beats strong. I'm not gonna wait for laws to change, I'm gonna do whatever feels right for myself and fly under the radar to avoid any trouble.
My stance for peace remains until my front door comes crashing down.
all i can say is things like this make me want to crawl under the nearest rock and never come out. Like somehow you not seeing your kids cause you smoke is really going to help kids! Boys need a father!Quote:

Also the weed around here is almost always shite (laced). She spent her last week or two stoned as all hell on opiates, unable to hold a conversation, falling asleep etc.
Nah, it's great though, she was sleeping 90% of the time so she died quietly and let us get on with our lives. (Extremest sarcasm to ever hit the streets). Never mind the fact that her liver was probably 99% Morphine and thus ended her life abruptly.
Priincesss -
I don't think that's really the reason it's ilegal. I mean there's no reason they couldn't tax it. I just don't understand what people mean when they say that. They tax tobacco, how could they not tax weed?
Oh yeah, and I think insane uproar is the way to go for legalisation. They haven't listened thus far, why would they start now?
Just play the alcohol prohibition in your head and put weed in there instead. (rhymes :jointsmile:)
Think about it though, think about all of the major ganja forums, right there is millions of people who want it legal. All we'd need to do is gather everybody up, go into our relevant states/countries. Figure out a date to reign hell.
im saying we have a marijuana march this year, Washington dc on 4/20 imagine how much of an impact we could have if we get the word out? and think, if obama wins the election there could be an actual chance of getting some chance, CANNABIS USER UNITE AND CONQUER BABY
This is what makes me angry
Medical Marijuana in Australia - Spring 1995
How can the police override a fucking medical decision?Quote:
Last November, politicians in the Australian Capital Territory voted to allow doctors to determine when marijuana is medically appropriate. The decision enraged the Australian Federal Police and intensive lobbying efforts began to reverse the legislative action. In a scene that has become all too familiar, legislators caved-in to the demands of the police, reversed their earlier action, and voted to block doctors from legally prescribing marijuana.
Would they even try to stop certain annoying aspects of peoples religions? Fuck no.
i have 1 word to say
Judicial-Law enforcement industrial complex.
MANY people and companies make money for more prisoners
Prison-industrial complex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
its about money
and jobs
and subliminal propaganda that the federal government [of all elected parties/administrations] so far has pursued since 1900s
i mean they gave up the war in vietnam with a complete loss after so many years, this has been getting close to a 100 years now
i think we all should put out youtube videos making our points and counter the crap authorities give us logically, youtube is on the spotlight, this forum is not!
i would personally just flick the bird and move the f to netherlands, but they have immigration process that is just way too tough
maybe spain or portugal
i really dont understand how one can be a patriot about these laws and corrupt officials and injustices. its such a shame supporting them, and politicans just use u for their personal purposes, except very few of them
/|\ agreed :thumbsup:
I'm not sober enough to argue the patriot point of view. But the first patriots were rebels, anti-authority and so on.Quote:
