Americas obsession with drugs

I was just thinking about it and america is obessesed with drugs. Its funny u see kids parents telling them that they shouldent need a drug to get through the day or have a good time.- Mean while what is the first thing they do in the morning, yes they need that cup of coffee to get through the day.- Next they get a slight headache and whats the first thing they do, yes they grab the Tylenol or Advil.- Next they cant get their fucking penis erect so whats the first thing they do, grab the viagra haha. But yea the point im trying to make is that people descriminate people who use marijuana to have a good time yet those same people (Especially Ignorant Gullable Americans) depend on all kinds of drugs to get through the day. Also if its so bad to smoke marijuana then why is it ok that the majority of amierican adults cant go out to hang out with their friends without being drunk off their ass?

ya i no what you mean. my moms the same way, she thinks that because its illegal its bad... Ignorance:(. what can you do?

Very good point. A drug is a drug, no matter what drug it is. Hypocrisy is nothing new though, and unfortunately most of them fail to see it.

I was watching a Bill Maher stand-up special and he got into pot and mentioned that america's drug is speed, and that its every 10 feet (coffee, soda, energy drinks ect.) which is good because the government wants its people to be hard workers, and fast workers, and pot is the opposite, its just makes you eat macaroni out of a big green bowl

I'm stoned right now so I'm hoping I made some kind of sense

Funny, there was a Foamy cartoon a long time ago that said pretty much the exact same thing you did.

yeah it made sense except it's not a good thing that the government wants to fuel our people so they work their lives away blindly

and also i don't know how much of that the government is responsible for... it's a capitalist economy and each of those things is a product of companies that aren't necessarily owned by the government... but hell who knows what the government does these days... i mean hey, we're one of the only nations that has a government that declares war on its own citizens about every 10 years :) fortunately they lose most of those wars :rasta:

P.S. pot makes me want to do more than just eat macaroni and cheese


sometimes i like pizza too :rasta:

i saw that bill maher stand up, i saw real time with bill maher the other night, and he said the only drug wal-mart should sell, is pot in the parking lot.

Some Bill Hicks quotes...

"War on drugs". Hey, I don't get it because alcohol and cigarettes are drugs. So the war has definitely taken a cease fire here, hasn't it?

Alcohol and cigarettes kill more people than crack, coke and heroin - combined!

That's what I hate about the war on drugs. I'll be honest with ya. It's what I can't stand.
Is all day long we see those commercials: "Here's your brain, here's your brain on drugs.", "Just say 'No'!", "Why do you think they call it dope?".
And then the next commercial is ...
"This Bud's for youuuu..."
Come on everybody, lets be hypocritical bastards. It's OK to drink your drug. We meant those other drugs, those untaxed drugs. Those are the ones that are bad for ya.
Nicotene, alcohol - good drugs. Coincidentally, taxed drugs. Oh, how does this fuckin' work?
Thank God they're taxing alcohol, Man, it means we got those good roads. We can get fucked up and drive on. Thank God they're taxin' this shit, Man.

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... I'm sure they're motives are pure.

I agree with you, except for the "Ignorant Gullable Americans" part. That kind of offended me. I still don't understand why so many people on this board single out Americans. I'm not trying to start an argument with anyone though.

Yeah, Americans aren't particularly gullible. But we are ignorant. There is a lot that the average American doesn't know about the world. It's not really our fault though. It's just that the American government's (mis)education system is particularly good at keeping people from knowing certain inconvenient facts, especially in the realms of history and government policy such as the wave of racism that started the War On (Mexicans' and blacks') Drugs back in the 30s.

exactly...

whenever people dog on me for tokin up, i say the same thing man.

i myself, am proud to only use two "drugs". Cannabis and tobacco. i should quit the cigs, but im gonna keep tokin till the second i die.

its funny, when you look at it justly, i'm probably more drug free than 98% percent of america.

they can enjoy their caffeine, tylenol, sleeping pills, alchohol, anti-depressants, diet pills, and whatever the hell else they have. Cannabis gives me all the same benefits, with none of the side effects, and i can still function when i dont have any.

isn't it gonna be funny when they all finally realize that pot's the miracle cure we've been searching for?
stick it to the man.

:stoned: peace

btw my personal stature wasn't that it was good, the goverment thinks it is good
