How angry are you?

[MaryLane]

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.

the situation in england as it stands is that PM gordon brown (unelected, took office with his own agenda in mind) will press on with his efforts to reschedule ganj from a class C drug to a class B drug. it shouldn't be class anything.

In upgrading cannabis, he is expected to go against the expert opinion of his OWN advisors, who recommend cannabis remains class C.

Aside from the fact that the medical community contiues to be ignored, to further add salt to the wound, one of the reasons given for reclassification is tougher penalties for dealers.
well, as it stands under class C dealers get upto 14 yrs max, users get upto 2 yrs. whereas under class B dealers would still get 14 yrs, except me and you would get 5 years. THE CHANGE TARGETS THE USERS JUST AS MUCH AS DEALERS

Also, G.Brown says the reason for this is to send the message to youth that cannabis is dangerous and harmful 'just like alcohol' - despite this bein bollocks WHAT POSSIBLE JUSTIFICATION CAN THEY HAVE FOR ALLOWING ALCOHOL BUT NOT WEED

I am so detached and disilusioned with this government at the moment it truly is crap if Brown gets his way

No fucking shite right?

Haha. You ever see the one where the kid builds a FUCKING cacoon of weed and then pops out all fat, bald, and living at home.

How stupid.

Yeah, my spouse and I laughed pretty hard. We were stoned, and we looked at each other and laughed more. Why? Because she's in law school, smart as a whip and I've got my fair share of degrees as well. We're not fat and we sure as hell didn't pop out of a cocoon.

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:

I agree it's the public schooling that's the problem. The government makes the standards and controls what students learn about "drugs".

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.

Now...I'm assuming they are throwing our MJ in their "drug" category, which if that's the case why do they want to increase penalties here for example, and why is alcohol still fucking legal when it KILLS??!!

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.

How angry am I?

All I can say is, "What a BITCH!" I havn't seen my two boys in over seven years becasuse of her using this bullshit conviction against me every time we go to family court.

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!

[MaryLane]

Good post. Do you have any further information regarding the psychological issues? I'd like to read more about it.
