Seriuosly. try and think of ONE REASON why marijuana should be illegal anywhere.
so assholes can sleep at night knowing they've done their job incriminating a harmless substance
Ill say this marijuana is not all that harmless, i dont smoke marijuana anymore,
marijuana does give you respertory problems
another one, smoking weed causes increased heartrate
only adults should use cannabis
you could be an entierly diff person hadent you smoked marijuana
my opinion prolly doesn't matter to you but it matters to me, i think that cannabis fucks with my head now cuz i dont smoke it anymore, like that cold turky shit
I have no problem saying NO to a minor i think its irrresponsible to buy tobacco,alcohol,porn or even pass a joint to a minor, if your an adult over the age of 18 and you purchase or offer ilegal products or legal ones to someone underage you should be asshamed of yourself.
i stop thinkin its illegal and i almost forget it is cause im going to smoke it anyway so fuck the gov. im still gonna get high.
paWt is baaad....
Because its killer weed. you'll die if you smoke. Don't do it, but seriously i have no clue why its illegal. Legalize it damn it!!! I want to be able to smoke my herb without worrying about getting thrown in jail.
i duno man, i dont really care why its illegal and neither does anyone else because the general population is becoming more and more informed on the governments bullshit every day. its only a matter of time before legalized or tolerated. the only thing that gets to me is why peaceful people that smoke a plant are thrown into the same cells as murderers and reapists.
Man what i dont understand is exactly how you can slap a criminal offnce charge on smoking weed, yet alcahol is freely available, and a blind eye is even turned to minors who drink in certain circumstances (in the Uk at least).
I really dont think it's no secret that if alcahol were discovered tomorrow then it would more than likely become a class A drug. But It wasn't is has been around for thousands of years as we all know! Then again hasn't marijuana?? Lol if so then i really dont understand why if it came to a choice between a drug in which people loose their co-ordination and morals, fall over, become increasingly violent and sick (alcahol) OR a drug which in the very worst case scenario would make someone sick shortly before they fall asleep? This is beyond me!
Alcahol is deadly makes people confident and agressive as well as the fact that it is addictive, and Can cause death when too many units are consumed.
Weed stimulates the mind, relaxes people and generally makes people feel good and happy, not to mention the fact that weed itself it Not addictive, and WILL NOT cause you to react with violece beyond a persons normal personality.
Lol where do the government get off honestly, lol the more you think about it, the more it seems rediculous!
"Oh ok, well we'll continue to ignore the increasingly worrying drink problem that in general the whole modern day nation seems to be infactuated with, causing hoardes off unessesary verbal and physical violence, vandolism and problems alike, But the Weed smokers who walk around all day without a care in the world with a huge grin on theie face and generally falling asleep it the worst offence when under the influence a stoner would commit, These people are a danger to soceity and weed is deadly so much so more than alcahol". So, weed is illegal! Why again mr MP??
lol :) happy smoking anyways people!
What's even funnier is how it became illegal in the first place :rasta:
Also if ciggaretes are were discovered tommorow, would anyone start smoking them?
They kill, they taste bad, they make people ugly..
Alchohol is addictive, but, weed is also addictive.. It's true.. But not anywhere near alchohol..!:)
If you "OD" on alc. you DIE, if you "OD" on weed, you fall ASLEAP!!:D:D
The government are starting to realize stuff like that, and are starting to leagalize it..
I you get busted with a little weed on you, you won't even get a fine anymore.. Sometimes they even let you get away with it.. without taking the weed..
But, here where I live, they are so affraid of it, and they tell little kids in 1. grade, that if you smoke weed, you will end up braindead.. That's what I was told in 1. grade!
It made me stay off the herb until I was 16!! Now I don't regret it, I have good grades in my watchamightcallit, the grade book!:p
And I still don't smoke ALL the time, cause I just started on a stuff.. Uhm.. I'm learning to be a carpenter!:)
But back to were I live.. A friend off mine, got busted with a 1/4 gramm of hash, and got towed to the station, and asked about a hell off alot off crap..
And, it is proved that if you smoke before you are fully developed, you won't develop to the fullest.. One of my cousins is 27 years old, and dumb as a brick.. He started on the herb, and ended on some other shit.. That is not proof that the herb is bad, but you WILL NOT develop to the same level you would if you never smoked..!
That is why the government doesn't want it to be leahgalized..
Personally, I don't give a fuck if it's illiegal, I will never stop smoking!:p
And I also think all off the above is bull..
If you smoke, not to much and to often, NOTHING will happen.. Also when you drink a glass of wine, or take one drink, it will be good for your heart!:)
And now I will quit writing...!:) Has anyone read all this??:p
lol yeah i did! And i think u bring up some interesting points man for real!!
I just find it really amazing how it's taken so long for the population of this gullable world, to actually look past government properganda and actually realise that 80% of negative comments pointed out against weed is in fact Bullshit!!
Still, at least it's happening! Slowly but surely however!! I think we have a lil way to before this generation come to their senses! I mean come on man if people wannna make the decision that they are gon smoke a fuckin plant for fucks sake, then why can't they have the right to do so??
It's just like if i decide to take some seaweed, upon my recreational visit to the local chinease restaurant and smoke it freely in front of everyone!!
Am i gon get busted for that??? No! so why then when you choose a different plant to smoke, just because someone doesn't like the idea of it, is it considered illegal!!
Ridiculus!!
Because drug money promotes violence. Oh wait, that's because the BLACK MARKET is running the weed trade.
Because if it were legalized, corporations would have a hell of a time competeing with it (Big Tobacco and Alcohol ones), and the fact that it grows almost anywhere makes it hard for any corporation to make money on it unless they wisen up and grow tons and sell for low prices.
maybe i am dumb or its just my high coming to my mind but the reason the green is illegal is mainly because the government has yet to have a brillant president if the government realize how useful marijuana is their would be a market and the leader of the market would be USA and if the government allowed it to be sold publicatly are poverty may go up or down but are debt would go down their making us out of debt and if we ceased the war on drugs in colombia and started the war on getting people on the mean green stuff people wouldnt try coke why because that green would be cheap and would you rather do something every one does or pay more and be alone doing it well thats more of a statement but its illegal cause we have an idiot for president who is in favor of the green party i am for sure :thumbsup:
Why do governments do anything? Money and power. That's what it all boils down to. That's all politicians and legislators care about. If they didn't, they wouldn't be so rich and powerful to begin with.Quote:

Another reason many drugs are illegal is because they cause you to think freely, to question things taken for granted by others, to question authority. Drugs make people think in their own way instead of just absorbing what their government says. They want to restrict your experience to sobriety and drunkenness because they know other states of consciousness cause unrest among the population. They are well aware what those drugs did to the hippie movement, and they don't want a repeat of that. As the late genius Bill Hicks put it:
Quote:
Isn't it interesting that those two drugs that are legal, alcohol and cigarettes, two drugs that do absolutely nothing for you whatsoever. And drugs that grow naturally on this planet, drugs that open your eyes up to make you realize how you're being fucked every day of your life— those drugs are against the law! Coincidence? I don't know.
yo dude i so agree with your quote i never even thought about that but seriously something has to be done and in the past years marijuana has been getting more attention and its sites like these that deserve props together we can make it legal if puff daddy got people to vote we can get people to smoke unite
Why is marijuana illegal? $$$ Dollar signs. Here is a good read about the war on drugs in general. http://www.newstarget.com/010944.html

that is the biggest peice of bullshit ive ever heard in my life. Not only is it not true, your a jackass for saying it. Sure weed makes you forgetful, but doesnt change the way you develop.
back to the alcohol and weed thing.
did you know that alcohol kills more people every year then all drug overdoses combined x2. and alchy is legal which is the sad part.
later
i dont care if its illegal,....doesnt stop me muhahahahahahaahhah
Cause the man doesn't want you to have too much fun.
I would like to take this time to thank every individual who has contributed to my drug usage over the years (there've been hundreds, including probably jahjahjahjah, so I won't list them all here) and thus adding to my wisdom on the subject so I wouldn't be a walking propaganda commercial. Also, what could possibly be wrong with a kid watching pornography?Quote:

There are certain areas of the world where this is in effect, and they're certainly doing better than we are on the subject, and can vouch for my hypothesis, as can people on the boards.Ah, but I began to smoke at an early age, and now I'm 4 foot 5 inches and erect penis is just smaller than my pinky. In addition, I am unable to spell and/or use my cognitive functions regularly. Damn you, marijuana - you've ruined another life.Quote:

Tobacco products cause nasty cancer. they stink. theyre badly addictive. :(
WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO DO??????????????????????????????????????? :p
When i was younger i hatted, i tought it was stupid and i tought it hurt people because the people i was growing up with started it so i tried to stay away, but when i tried it because i relized it doesnt hurt you it just that people start smoke crack and shit and it makes weed look back. but wooooweee smoke weed!! it doesnt hurt you at all, except for lighter fluid and paper isnt good for your lungs. But hey, most cops will even tell you that they did it to and there is nothing wrong with it, its just they dont want you to get introuble. most of the time.
Don't worry eventually it will be legal. A government can only put up with so much. They will eventually realize they have much bigger problems and legalize it.
There was actually a point where alcohol was illegal and marijuana wasn't. :cool:
You say about money and power, and eviedently i agree but what about the ongoing situation with Holland? I mean if the government had no way to earn off of Marijuana then suerly they never would have bothered to slap taxes on genericly grown weed In Amsterdam. Look how many people flood to Amsterdam each year? You Telling me that if the government slapped a 5% tax per gram sold (just for exaplme because i have no idea on exact figures and facts) that they wouldn't earn an absolute fourtune out of it?? Also I dont really recall ever hearing about Large scale companies losing out (e.g Heiniken beer, or Golden Virginia Tobacco) in Holland. In face i would imagine that if anything (i could be, and probably am wrong lol) it would enhance business. The more people smoking weed = more people fancy a nice pint of beer or
The more poeple smoke weed = more people wanting to roll a joint = more people buying tobacco for rolling that joint?? no????
Having said that, maybe just maybe (probable i imagine) there is more to this bullshit than "We are finding that since the legalisation of marijuana" crime rates have inclined and health problems have spiralled (cough bollox cough bollox) and so in order to clean up Holland and Amsterdams image we are going to pull a blanket over the glamourisation of marijuana in Holland even though we fuckin started it in the 1st place! lol this is what i dont get! It seems too fuckin suspect! They must have known what legalising it could do, and must have thought that they could benefit from it or else it wouldn't have happened right?? If so why miracolously change your mind??
Anyone have any ideas or know more than i do about it??
And why we're on the subject Does anyone exactly know the current goings-on regarding amsterdam?? It's like my idea of heaven and i was planning a trip there mid april, but im wondering exaclty if there's gonna be any point, if newspaper reports are anythin to go by!! Are the English still welcome??? Is it Now only a back street situation?? If anyone knows anythin i would be grateful to find out, as i really dont wanna waste my time if im just gon get turned away everywhere i go!!
I just wanna smoke my erb man and chill, who am i hurtin??
lol
:)
pe@ce
no one talkin bout this any more?? :( ah shame i wanted to know what all u guys thought! ah well lol
pe@ce
Oh, but I said he STARTED with weed.. <----- and that lead on to other things.. His story..!Quote:

And, then again... If you where to be drunk in school, you wouldn't learn ANYTHING!!
Don't call me a retard..
All the activists against marijuana, won't, and probably never will, hear about the benifits of marijuana.. So, many of us potheads just think, that it's not harmfull in any way.. EVERYTHING, if misused, is bad for you... Exept vitamin-C!:)
I just used my wording wrong..! Don't go judging like that, then your exactly the same as the government!:)
The reason why weed is illegal is simple,because the billionaires that control this country don't want to become poor.Take president bush for example if weed were legalized he would lose a pretty good portion of his oil fortune,because they would start making fuel out of cannibis thus making the oil industry virtually useless.And it does'nt stop there the alcohol,tobacco,pharmaceutical,timber,and newspaper industry would all stand to lose a small fortune.So as long as bush is in office it will never be legalized.
drugs are bad m'kay
Marijuana isn't the Green Goddess, Salvia is.
maybe. but i meant weed, in my thread title. hee hee
Well, a lot of people do use it irresponsibly.
"My choice is what I choose to do
And if Iâ??m causing no harm
It shouldnâ??t bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causinâ?? no harm
Then youâ??re alright with me
If you donâ??t like my fire
Then donâ??t come around
Cause Iâ??m gonna burn one down
Yes Iâ??m gonna burn one down
Herb the gift from the earth
And whatâ??s from the earth
Is of the greatest worth
So before you knock it try it first
Youâ??ll see itâ??s a blessing
And not a curse
If you donâ??t like my fire
Then donâ??t come around
Cause Iâ??m gonna burn one down
Yes Iâ??m gonna burn one down"
Ben Harper - burn one down
LEGALIZE IT
I FUCKING HATE THAT ITS ILLEGAL THATS WHAT MAKES ALOTA THESE BITCHES THINK ITS SOOOO BAD
Pfft srry but I cant help it you guys here are very stupid, its not the question of why it is its the question of who it is doing it, major companies like tabacco making so much money someone with billions would havta inest into marijuana so that our government is making alot of prophit off of it and alot of people arent up for that since our propaganda shaped out our future for having weed legalised.Quote:

cannabis hemp replaces everything, cannabis is the only plant that is actually nessacary, all others are just scenery, cannabis provides us with everything we need, so that there is no longer a reason to "progress" society.
in fact "progress" is actually the very opposite, we're destroying the owlrd, when hemp can be used to rebuild it.
the govt is stupid. if they legalized it and taxed it they would make so much money the U.S. would be out of debt.
