Marijuana Saved George Bush's Life

*sorry if this sounds out of place, I only read the first post or two then replied*

Bottom line, who cares if "Marihuana" saved George Bush's life. That has zero implications in what's going on today and by no means is a reason for Bush to push for legalization. And that's just the plain fact of the matter.

Now, I'm not a republican, and despite the fact that I'm defending Bush... I'm NOT defending Bush!!! I am simply taking a completely objective standpoint as a response to the initial post.


Hold on... I don't remember reading anywhere in the post if the poster said anything about current day anything. So sorry if that was a poor assumption. I'm fried. :stoned: :stoned: :stoned: :stoned:


Peace

It seems the plan is to restrict cannabis production so that the hemp market has no real chance of flourishing. This way, politicians and their corporate masters can come out on the news and say something like, "See, people? Even if we legalize it, it just doesn't have a place in our modern free market. So it should just stay illegal."

could you elaborate on this part of your statement please? I actually got my hopes up when I heard about a hemp bill on the desk of Arnold. Now I haven't read the bill myself but I was on jack herer's website and reading the letter he wrote to arnold asking him to veto it because the THC level of a hemp plant could not exceed .3%, and THC being the natural sunscreen of the plant being in tiny concentration would produce poorer quality stocks. Is this what you are talking about when you say the plant has no real chance of flourishing? or is there more to it than just that? :thumbsup:

It may or may not have saved George Bush Sr.'s life at some point but I can just about guarantee it kept George Bush Jr. from getting his ass kicked time or two!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a muppet with no clue how to run the richest state in the US. Don't expect any help from him.
Cannabis needs to be allowed to grow the way nature intended it. The limitations put on "Marihuana" production in the California bill would hinder cannabis' ability to be a viable competitor in the current global market.

California has direct democracy. The people can vote on a state ballot initiative to legalize "Marihuana" to support our troops again.

Well, we're back to supporting MPP, NORML and SAFER since they are bypassing the government and taking it to direct vote of the people. When it passes a ballot initiative it become law, period.

I noticed that he vetoed it based on what the DEA told him. I'm sure what they told him is that they would charge any farmers growing it and sieze their property under current marijuana laws. He didn't want that kind of headache during an election year.

The DEA is sooo crooked.

Mark Emery is a hero of mine.
His motto is "Overgrow the govornment".
What if we did this. Seriously planted weed everywhere! Parks, medians, ditches, forests etc. Not neccessarily for cultivation, but to litteraly overgrow the govornments. Give them more than they can handle. Make them use all their resources picking wild weed patches with the hope that eventually they would have to face the fact that prohibition doesn't work and is a waste of time and tax dollars.
There are some logistics to work out ( we need billions of seeds) but I think this is a way everyone can get involved in the movement while maintaining annonymity.

The parachute used by George Herbert Walker Bush when his bomber was shot down over the Pacific in 1942 was 100% legal American "Marihuana." George W. Bush was not born until 1946. Therefore, legal "Marihuana" has saved the lives of 2 US Presidents.

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the greenhouse effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same one that has done it before . . . CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA!

If America legalizes "Marihuana" again to support our troops, hemp will replace fossil fuels and nuclear power for the world's energy, and war for oil will end. Write to your Congressman and tell them to reinstate the 1942 USDA program, HEMP FOR VICTORY.

Hemp has never been taxed by the American Gov, WW2 Parachutes WERE NOT MADE OF HEMP, but make of 100% Silk. It takes 100 acres of Hemp to produce the same ammount of Workable Product as 1 Full Grown Tree. Go get yor facts straight. Oh, id Like my 100k Now

Actually, lewarn to read. The quotes I've heard were that 1 acre of hemp produces more over A TWENTY YEAR PERIOD than 1 acre of trees. God our education system sucks.

There's a slight chronological error that I've overlooked until now which I need to correct. George HW Bush's bomber was shot down in 1944, not 1942. I'm not sure how I missed that typo for so long, but, oh well. My bad.....

I agree with you guys so much about the legalization issue and I think it's great to see other people out there questioning the media and the neoliberal order. Yet you seem to have swallowed everything you've been told about foreign threats and your need for the ridiculously oversized US military.

You can clearly think, so apply some thinking to something apart from weed.
