another reason to legalize marijuana
our nation doesn't need to cage pot offenders as evil animals on our tax revenue
That sucks,I really think they should keep the violent ones and sex offenders behind bars.The petty stuff like pirating and weed smoking should be left for other stuff.
per capita, we cage up more humans that China, Russia, any of the old Soviet satellites . . that is profound. How does this happen?
In the old days, jails were needed to keep murderers and horse theives locked up until they could be hung. But, at what point did prisons become a for profit business with a vested interest in future markets? this is a problem. I remember reading how the Hillarybeast has a huge portfolio of private prison stocks, which really to me, explains everything.
not only per capita, of course, but in actual gross numbers! yikes.
Doubtful the Chinese and Russian numbers are truly accurate. Then again, I'm also doubtful that all those in US prisons are legally Americans.
Seems kinda weird. ICE raids places of employment busting the illegal workers, but you don't see them processing the convicts out of the country when they get released back into our society. Busting the workers before busting the violent convicts? :wtf:
The chinese just execute all their murderers and rapists. Pretty much we should do but without so much bullshit that drains money.
But hell, too much money is being made in private prisons for them to legalize it. Damn the Man
Exactly. Thats why the numbers are larger here. we don't kill people for jay walking. Even though we still put way too many nonviolent offenders in jail.
just to be clear, i am not advocating capital punishment for horse theft, but my point was that you had to do something pretty bad back then to get locked up. now, with the help of prohibition, prison is big industry, and growing. that just seems wrong to me on many levels.

I've got a good idea: We'll open our jails send all our violent prisoners up to Canada, where they'll have plenty of room to go berserk in a very large country that has a population that is 1/10 the amount of the United States'.Quote:

If the BC weed was superior to American grown, you can be sure that we'd be getting a lot of it in New York, and elsewhere. I tried some Canadian grown two years ago, and it was below average compared to what we usually get.Quote:

Canada bud is crap! Try some homegrown from The U.S.A it blows away Canada's exported bull shit. Im moving to Amsterdam to get away from the beast.
here is a page from Cannabible 3 describing Bc's Bud
The Cannabible 3 - Google Book Search
Crappy and excellent bud can come from any country. But if you tried Canadian weed and it was substandard, you just got a shitty strain. They are out there, everywhere. I've tried many strains; New York Diesel is a favorite of mine, excellent stuff any which way you look at it. But it still doesn't compare to some of the stuff we've had around Vancouver and the Island.
Either way it's region to region. There are states and provinces with utter shite. Ever tried green crack? That's more up to snuff with the kind of bud we like to smoke here.
Gandalf i know its not all shwag, I know their is some really dank bud in canada so i agree with you, but mostly all of the Canadian bud i have had sucks. Im betting the crappy money making/chem weed is whats getting in to America And all the good shit is staying their getting toked up eh? Ha Which is fucked up i think you guys should start sending us the good shit and not the fools gold shit. Currently as the cannabible indicates our weed prices have almost fliped up side down since Bc bud has really hit the scene. It also has made some MMJ patients sicker because of all the chems added and the weed not being properly flushed and cured. I know in my state even though it is the 3rd largest producing state for marijuana In the U.S a large portion of weed i encounter is beasters!
O and i totally agree with you on the beer. American beer sucks for the most part :mad:
well we can argue about bud all day long but we do have better cigs than you guys and of course better beer.
towel off fishman, :stoned: :rastasmoke: (just kidding, bro.)
. . . California, Holland and BC bud are all good, :smokin: but, i've heard that absolute best bud in the world comes from here in southern native america and i have made it my mission to find this bud. :jointsmile:
okay, i'll concede the beer part . . i do love Canadian brews. :thumbsup:Quote:

THAT is why they continue to claim Marijuana is a drug. $$$
yeah, i heard this weekend that about 25% of the inmates in US prison are illegal aliens arrested for other crimes. that is according to that AZ Sherriff that keeps his inmates in tents. his solution, keep building more and more prisons! :wtf: think i'll buy stock in prisons, looks like a booming industry. :stoned:Quote:
