An excerpt everyone should read

[Rusty Trichome]

Okay. You make these claims, now present the evidence. Where do you get this information from?

Decades of experience. Where do you get your misinformation...?

There are a dozen non sequiturs here. Where to begin...
-LSD - Non addictive.................FELONY
-Mescaline - Non addictive.........FELONY
-Psilocybin - Non addictive.........FELONY
-DMT - Non addictive................FELONY
-MDMA - Non addictive..............FELONY
-Marijuana - Non addictive..........THE SOLE REASON THIS SITE IS ONLINE.

Where the heck did you get addiction from? Do you think cannabis is somehow exclusive and should be legalized while the rest shouldn't?(You're in the activism forum. You're going to see topics about the legalization of Cannabis.)

Well, the addiction label is quite subjective to varying degrees, and can be split into three general categories...physical emotional and mental.

As far as the cannabis goes...yes, it is in a class by itself, but the others you mention...inappropriate in these forum. This isn't a medical LSD forum, and there are site rules regarding talk of these drugs. If you want to flaunt site rules...be my guest. Until then, I have never been a fan of drugs that alter ones reality to the point of insanity, (as is evidenced by some of your views...your reality is not shared by mainstream cannabis users.) and am fine with keeping our discussions to the reason most of us are here.

Unless you want to strictly argue from the "Cannabis has medical benefits" angle, which is rather narrow, you won't be able to ignore the criminalization of these other substances is similarly absurd.

Absurd to who...? I do not come to this board seeking justice for the downtrodden drug addicts with the mental capacity of a garbonzo bean. I could care less if you feel oppressed by the 'arbitrary' drug laws. And I really could care less if one has a 'bad trip' and kills his family, which was 'tollerant' of his drug use, but was unaware of the psychosis it can often degenerate into.

My problem is that:
A) This is a medical cannabis site, not "Chewy's dope house". If you can keep your activism to the standards outlined in the site rules, then there wouldn't be much I could say, and likely I'd slip-away as if in a dream. If those in charge back off of these site rules, I'll refrain from mentioning this whenever and wherever appropriate.

B) Not all the folks in this forum are doped-up psychopaths looking for you to legalize their next dime bag. Most of the folks here have disease, injury or specific need for cannabis, some have a doctors prescription, and virtually all have the legal and moral right to have access to this site. So you are saying that since we have come here seeking solace form our pain and to help our healing, you think we all want to join your bandwaggon, and become an irresponsible drain on society? The only instance I would consider legalization, would be if it were legalized solely for National "dope-up your violent convicts" day, along the lines of ThunderDome. Would be better viewing than some of the MTV reality shows, and likely cost-effective. :thumbsup:

C) Having been around the block a few times, I have seen the effects of all but one of the drugs you mention. The folks that regularly consume these substances...perhaps you call them freedom fighters within their rights to do as they please. I call 'em drug addicts, scum, irresponsible drains, undereducated worthless pieces of shit, and doped-up immoral bastards that are neither insightful nor enlightened to anything beyond denial and an inability to deal with life, on lifes terms. Please...come to our church...there is a better way. :jointsmile:

and I hope in vain that I will gain social significance, which assumes I have none? Does Jesus give you these magic powers?

The belief in His love for us brings us together, and gives us strength to follow his teachings, to help others, and be the best we can be. I have never seen anyone be the best they can be, while hiding behind parked cars and being paranoid about tree-monsters.
Just like you evidentally enjoy getting together, popping a few sugar cubes or doing some lines on the toilet cover at the gas station, or sitting around thinking of new ways to pop those zits on your girlfriends ass, or while shitting your pants waiting for the crosswalk sign to quit blinking...religious groups are cheerfully trying to help the community rather than becoming a drain on it. Bummer you can't organize your spun-out minions to help cover graffiti, or clean-up a park, or feed and clothe the homeless...but most self-serving drug addicts are lazy and uninspierd anyway, so your inaction there is understandable. At least you can type, though. :jointsmile:

I don't even need to say anything. Your post speaks volumes by itself.

As does yours.
