    Nixon Lie Keeps on Killing...

    You can sputter here with your butt buds but your cowardly drools don't seem to get the same reactions on the thousands of forums this gets sent too.

    Now your booby kin can ban me for answering your ad hominem unsubstanciated dribble. Man up? Boy your a wimpy nark, why would you pretend to not turn in posts. Post that show your a fool make good fodder on other forums. Keep em coming bozo. Wasting time and spewing silly opinions is your life. I care less about this place, just another stop on the paper route. I care even less than I do about the maggots living here. This is but one in a million places to post. Boring as hell and lapdogs wearing plastic Ganja leaves just bore me more.

    The fourth ammendment rights were not ignored, discarded or pushed-aside. The warrant was legal, and was legally served.

    It is sooo like your type to dismiss the personal responsibility issues this raises as nothing more than big brother stormtroopers conspiring to blow this fuckers head off. Unsound reasoning, misleading and factually inaccurate.

    No, he was shot for waving a gun at police. He got what he obviously wanted, and I gurantee the cop will have a full clip, the next time he's on patrol. :thumbsup:

    Quite a defining statement.

    Silly opinions...possibly. However, I believe it's a far cry better than being disillusioned and incapable of kindness and compassion. It's better than spending many hours a day posting inaccurate, outdated and misleading dribble in a vain attempt to show the world your anger. Does it make you feel better sitting in your parents basement, inventing full-page ads (in other people's words) espousing your support of ignorance? Does it make you feel good to hear from others, that you are a shallow island in the sea of global warming? (you're sinking fast)

    But that's ok...I don't like you much either. But I would welcome you to my church anytime, as it's never too late to grasp positive change. :thumbsup:

    Homeland Security Hearings on the Drug War
    DWR: Pete Guither Saturday, March 7, 2009

    The Senate Committee on Homeland Security is planning hearings on southern border violence (ie, the drug war).

    And now there are some House Hearings as well that may come up in the next week as well. Commenter Pat Rogers is all over this on his blog, along with providing lists of House Committee Members and Senate Homeland Security Committee members.

    I've got to say that at first glance, the makeup of these Homeland Security Committees is pretty horrible. Chairman Lieberman? Pryor, Coburn, McCain, Burris? And Souder in the House? These are names unlikely to demonstrate even a glimmer of intelligence regarding the drug war.

    Drug Death, Thy Name is Hershey's
    Saturday, December 1, 2007

    "Drop the Ice Breakers and step away from the car."

    It would've been mildly amusing had it had been satire. After searching the story to see if it was intended to be a humor piece, "
    Mint or Drug: Is Hershey's Cracked?" by Jill Porter, Philadelphia Daily News, one is overcome by a sadden resignation.

    Have drug alarmists no shame? This is unintended humor from a usual source. They've now settled their focus on a familiar group of law-breakers: Hershey's. The offending candy? Ice Breakers that are so similar to crack cocaine in appearance that--what?



    Reaction to drug warriors' next target?

    "My point of view, while extremely cogent, is unpopular.... That the repressive nature of the legalities vis-a-vis drugs are destroying the legal system and corrupting the police system."

    Drug War Porn

    I've always thought of Al Roker's DEA as a form of drug war pornography.

    But apparently, it's just soft-core porn compared to Chris Ryan's Elite Police (DVD out on Monday)

    And they're about "knock down the door" of a cocaine-making lab . . . big time.

    KABOOM! A searing blast of heat scorches Chris's cheeks as the hut VAPORISES before his eyes, sending a 3,000ft plume of smoke into the air thanks to plastic explosives planted by the Junglas--Colombia's frontline cops in the war against drugs.

    "We left the coke lab a blast site of scorched metal stinking of napalm," says Bravo Two Zero hero Chris who worked with the squad for his dramatic TV series, Elite Police, about the South American cocaine trail. "Then we needed to get out fast."


    This is drug war action so intense, it even spontaneously breaks out into CAPITALS!

    But of course, this isn't about making money. It's got a more important message:

    "There was a story where 14 gangsters' bodies turned up without heads. Their gang then chopped off the rival gang's heads a week later. There's no end to what they will do."

    Now Chris hopes his programme will make cocaine users in the UK sit up and take notice. "Despite cocaine being so addictive, some Brits see it as relatively harmless," says Chris.

    "But as I discovered, the facts behind it are horrifying. And the misery it causes on its way to our streets is shocking."




    Yeah, the Free Mexican Air Force is flyin' tonight
    Mexico Decriminalizes Small Amounts of Drugs
    Mexico City -- Owning marijuana, cocaine and even heroin will no longer be a crime in Mexico if the drugs are carried in small amounts for personal use, under legislation passed by the Congress.

    Ganjawar Puppets Cave... again
    After intense pressure from the United States, President Vicente Fox has asked Congress to reconsider a law it passed last week that would decriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs as part of a larger effort to crack down on street-level dealing.

    US PRAISES THAI DRUG WAR!
    From February of 2003, to 100 days later, June 2003, Thai police executed over 4,000 Thais, jailing 60,000, in a bid to meet targets set by the Thai Prime Minister to 'complertely end all illegal drug use by whatever means necessary'. A senior US drug official yesterday hailed Thailand's war against drugs as a success.

    Stop the War on Colombians!

    Via Kaptinemo in comments comes this heartbreaking story:

    In July 2007, Teresa Ortega stood solemnly in a field of wilting corn and pineapple crops as tears streamed down her cheeks. She had taken it upon herself to start a farm with 100 widows - women who lost their husbands and children to Colombia's war and were fighting against poverty. Together they had purchased this small farm and worked it on the weekends to make ends meet. Now - after a plane sprayed chemicals over their farm - all was lost.

    To bureaucrats in Washington, Teresa and her friends are simply additional collateral damage at ground zero of Washington's drug war in South America.

    How To Stop The Drug Wars
    A hundred years ago a group of foreign diplomats gathered in Shanghai for the first-ever international effort to ban trade in a narcotic drug. On February 26th 1909 they agreed to set up the International Opium Commissionâ??just a few decades after Britain had fought a war with China to assert its right to peddle the stuff. Many other bans of mood-altering drugs have followed. In 1998 the UN General Assembly committed member countries to achieving a â??drug-free worldâ?ť and to â??eliminating or significantly reducingâ?ť the production of opium, cocaine and cannabis by 2008. full story




    Never Mind The Evidence - A Drug-Free World Is Nigh
    This year marks the 100th anniversary of global drug prohibition, and what an inglorious centenary it is when we consider the millions of lives that have been blighted as a consequence of the war on drugs. And yet the majority of governments have supported a worldwide ban on the cultivation, distribution and use of psychoactive substances ever since the signing of the Shanghai convention, which aimed to target opium use, in 1909. full story


    Rockefeller Drug Laws Are a Crime

    Stop Bill C-15: Say No To Mandatory Jail Terms For Marijuana
    Stephen Harper has introduced mandatory minimums for marijuana - previously known as Bill C-26, but now introduced as Bill C-15. Harper wants a mandatory minimum six months in jail for one plant, and one year for trafficking involving "organized crime", which is simply defined as three or more people - that could be you, your dealer, and the grower! Canadians know the drug war has failed, and 62% support the legalization of marijuana. Speak up and help defeat C-15! full story

    "The Limits of the Criminal Sanction"
    by Herbert Packer, 1968


    For over fifty years the United States has been committed to a policy of suppressing the "abuse" of narcotic and other "dangerous" drugs. The primary instrument in carrying out this policy has been the criminal sanction. The results of this reliance on the criminal sanction have included the following:

    (1) Several hundred thousand people, the overwhelming majority of whom have been primarily users rather than traffickers, have been subjected to severe criminal punishment.

    (2) An immensely profitable illegal traffic in narcotic and other forbidden drugs has developed.

    (3) This illegal traffic has contributed significantly to the growth and
    prosperity of organized criminal groups.

    (4) A substantial number of all acquisitive crimes - burglary, robbery, auto theft, other forms of larceny - have been committed by drug
    users in order to get the wherewithal to pay the artificially high prices charged for drugs on the illegal market.

    (5) Billions of dollars and a significant proportion of total law enforcement resources have been expended in all stages of the criminal process.

    (6) A disturbingly large number of undesirable police practices - unconstitutional searches and seizures, entrapment, electronic surveillance have become habitual because of the great difficulty that attends the detection of narcotics offenses.

    (7) The burden of enforcement has fallen primarily on the urban poor, especially Negroes and Mexican-Americans.

    (8) Research on the causes, effects, and cures of drug use has been stultified.

    (9) The medical profession has been intimidated into neglecting its accustomed role of relieving this form of human misery.

    (10) A large and well-entrenched enforcement bureaucracy has developed a vested interest in the status quo, and has effectively thwarted all but the most marginal reforms.

    (11) Legislative invocations of the criminal sanction have automatically and unthinkingly been extended from narcotics to marijuana to the flood of new mind-altering drugs that have appeared in recent years, thereby compounding the preexisting problem. A clearer case of misapplication of the criminal sanction would be difficult to imagine.

    Salem-News.com

    (SALEM, Ore.) - A new federal government report on the ill effects of marijuana on teens may be a last ditch effort to demonize the medical weed before it sees its own day of emancipation. As it stands, even the most hardcore marijuana legalization advocates do not support children using anything that causes intoxication.

    This new report uses scare tactics and seems to regard medical facts as a meaningless burden, and they are enlisting the help of celebrities with big money and big media ties to drive their message home.

    medical Minnesota -- A group advocating a medical marijuana bill in Minnesota said Tuesday that it will run ads to counter what it says are false law-enforcement arguments against the measure.

    The group, the Marijuana Policy Project, said three ads will be posted on the Internet and a fourth will run on television statewide. They are designed to allay fears that medical marijuana increases youth access to marijuana, that there is no proven medical value to using medical marijuana, and that there is no support in the medical community for medical marijuana.

    You may have thought the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was merely a sadly delusional chapter in our nation's history. And yet, every now and then I see a letter to the editor in the local paper signed by someone who calls herself head of the local WCTU chapter.

    What I didn't realize (until I read Allen St. Pierre's post today) was that they also take a position on marijuana.

    At their marijuana 'facts' page you can learn a number of interesting things, including: Drug WarRant

    Womanâ??s Christian Vengeance Union


    * long-term marijuana users experience withdrawal symptoms such as stomach pain, irritability, and aggression. [...] I was going to quit, but after hearing that... not now.

    * Sudden heart attacks have been linked to pot smoking [...] sausage linked.

    * Loss of fertility in both males and females may occur. 6 billion people.
    You sure it's not your wonderful sex abstenance program working?

    Marijuana can disrupt testes and uterine function.
    Seems to be functioning to me. Maybe you're doing it wrong.

    In males testosterone levels and sperm counts can decrease and abnormal sperm form.
    also decreasing is violent crimes, rape and say what? Ab-normal, like Ab-stenance? Large numbers of abnormal sperm are forming into groups of ill-mannered disodents.

    Menstrual periods have ceased in females who use pot regularly. [...]
    In females only you say, while only males sperm counts can decrease. By gholly there's a clue... Smoking pot makes genders different.

    * fathers who smoked pot might increase the chances of their babies dying from SIDS. [...]
    Ref.Dragnet, 1972, Not mothers smoking pot? It is the WCTU. Ab-normal sperm forms no doubt. 5000 years of using Ganja... No SIDS. 12 years Bush Rayguns... AIDs and SIDs and Gays. One year after Nixon took office there were 12 million tokers. Conservatives were breeding them in what are known as "think tanks". Outside of these tanks Conservative Christian women are prohibited from thinking, and what is learned in thinktanks stays in thinktanks for the message it might send the kids... and the general population frowns on multi billion dollar scams like the drug war. Must keep em smiling...

    * Marijuana use is a major risk factor in the development of full-blown AIDS in HIV-positive persons. HIV marijuana smokers progress to full-blown AIDS twice as fast as non-smokers. [...]
    and they always said we were antimotivational...

    * Chronic use results in adults being four times more likely to be depressed later in life and to have suicidal thoughts. [...]
    Depressed at getting old? Hum, another clue blue. Maybe slightly miffed at the higher prices caused by dumbass prohibitionist killers. Not like the younger daze of chronic from returning vets or at antiwar rallies. As we still do on Holidaze. Nothing like a good christian flag waving war for obtaining exotic chronic.

    * In a 1999 report of 664 drug-related deaths, 187 of them resulted from marijuana use alone. [...]
    That means 497 out of 664 died from something else, we must ban something else, we must, we just must!

    * A scientific study of airplane pilots showed their inability to properly land a plane using a flight simulator even 24 hours after smoking one joint. [...]
    * A scientific study of Booze Hangovers showed they are the leading cause of pilots toking.
    With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes, And found my cleanest dirty shirt. An' I shaved my face and combed my hair, An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day... Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.

    * As of January, 2001, the Mississippi Research Center for the National Institute on Drug Abuse had on record more than 15,000 studies on cannabis. None of them show the raw material marijuana to be safe or effective for medical use. [...]
    A very good reason for calling it NIDB instead of IOM. 150,000,000 tokers disagree.

    * Many of the state-based referendums on medical marijuana have been supported and funded by individuals and organizations who favor decriminalization and legalization and who would profit from producing and selling marijuana.
    Secrets out now, might as well quit and go get drunk. Although, now under prohibition, these "individuals and organizations"make 10 times more money producing and selling Ganja. Between the Drugczar advertizing BC bud and the WCTU cheerleaders inticing young people to try a new adventure. One might think they profit on the Ganjawar.
    Hey, another clue...

    One gardener's encounter with the war on drugs

    It's worth noting that during the period of anti-alcohol hysteria that led to Prohibition, certain forms of opium were as legal and almost as widely available in this country as alcohol is today. It is said that members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union would relax at the end of a day spent crusading against alcohol with their cherished "women's tonics," preparations whose active ingredient was laudanumâ??opium. Such was the order of things less than a century ago.

    Until this century hard cider was probably the most popular intoxicantâ??drug, if you willâ??in this country. It shouldn't surprise us that one of the symbols of the Women's Christian Temperance Union was an ax; prohibitionists like Carry Nation used to call for the chopping down of apple trees just like the one in my garden, plants that in their eyes held some of the same menace that a marijuana plant, or a poppy flower, holds...

    Reports of the study have also been distributed by the hierarchy of drug rehabilitation professionals as part of their rationalization for wanting to get kids off pot, based on supposed scientific studies. It is used to terrorize parent groups, church organizations, etc., who redistribute it still further.

    Heath killed the half-dead monkeys, opened their brains, counted the dead brain cells, and then took control monkeys, who hadn't smoked marijuana, killed them too, and counted their brain cells. The pot smoking monkeys had enormous amounts of dead brain cells as compared to the "straight" monkeys.

    The reporters made their way through the dim lights and small huts of Virginia City's Chinatown... The Comstock journalists produced racist and inaccurate news coverage that relied on uninformed sources (law enforcement instead of physicians), inflamed the people of the town, and produced the nation's first anti-drug law, an ordinance banning opium smoking within Virginia City, enacted on Sept. 12, 1876. The local politicians, discovering that fear of drugs and minorities sold, were just as irresponsible, blaming everything from poor sanitation to child molestation on Chinese drug "fiends." When the local prohibition ordinance failed, they pushed for a statewide law which failed (and, of course, would be followed by national laws that failed).

Of 200 specific cases referred to by Anslinger, his accusation that marijuana was the cause of a gory crime was proved false in 198.

    Bennett's Fuzzy Drug-War Victory
    cannabisnews.com: Bennett's Fuzzy Drug-War Victory
    In other words, Bennett's "most successful public policy efforts of the latter half of the 20th century" is an illusion. It's reasonable to conclude that more people were using drugs "during the most intense period of antidrug efforts" than admitted it. And just in case Bennett can't tell the difference, that's not success -- that's denial.

    More Fuzzy Drug-War Math
    cannabisnews.com: More Fuzzy Drug-War Math
    Misleading numbers are the stock and trade of drug warriors, it seems. Arguing against medical marijuana in his April 2 column, for instance, Don Feder rattles off an alarming statistic: "According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network," says Feder, "marijuana use accounted for 87,150 emergency-room admissions in 1999, up 455 percent from a decade earlier."

    First off, this is a red herring, since the discussion is not about all-purpose marijuana use, but medical. The DAWN data are not controlled for why an emergency-room patient may have been using marijuana; it only records the presence of the drug in his system.

    This is an untruth propagated by the drug czarâ??s minions. The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) collects its data on â??marijuana related emergenciesâ?? by noting every single time someone tells their doctor that they use marijuana. So if I were to accidentally break my leg and go to the ER, and my doctor asked if I use any drugs and I say I occasionally smoke marijuana (as I should, as we should all be honest with our physicians), then this would be a â??marijuana related emergency,â?? even if I hadnâ??t smoked in weeks.

    "Mr. Walters and many, many others have used this data in the wrong way," Duncan continued. "DAWN was never set up to collect enough information to tell you useful things about problems coming into the emergency room. When someone uses DAWN numbers to try to tell you how dangerous a drug is, it's just not set up for that."

    Supreme Court's Reefer Madness
    cannabisnews.com: Supreme Court's Reefer Madness
    In the rush to cure all the ills to which humans are heir, liberty is too often an innocent bystander -- and an accidental casualty. --Barry Goldwater, 1964

    The Supreme Court handed in their black robes for brown shirts yesterday, as that formerly august body decided 8-0 against medical marijuana, ruling that federal law trumps state initiatives to legalize the substance for treatment of illnesses such as AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis and glaucoma.

    Apparently, Clarence Thomas and Co. forgot a slightly more important statute than the Controlled Substance Act -- the Constitution of the United States! Remember that one? I think it's still mentioned in high-school civics classes.

    Grab a copy if you have one handy and open that grand, national operating manual to Article 1, Section 8. This section lays out in very clear terms the enumerated powers of Congress -- what our representatives are permitted to do. (Pay attention, Clarence.)

    There are not many items listed, and you'll probably notice the striking absence of anything about regulating marijuana -- or any drugs for that matter. It's not in there. Establishing postal roads, declaring war, coining money -- that much is enumerated, but not a word about dope.

    William Randolph Hearst
    Inventor of yellow Journalism. Supposedly very ruthless to his competition and in his personal relationships. He was the basis for the movie Citizen Kane and also responsible for the prohibition on marijuana of the 1930's. The Marijuana Stamp Tax Act effectively outlawed the sale of marijuana. Hearst apparently made a fortune from the criminalization of marijuana due to the money he had invested in competing industries. Right before Hearst began his war against marijuana with newspaper headlines in the many dailies that he owned, Popular Science announced the invention of a hemp processing machine that they predictied could effectively make hemp the single most useful processing material.

    yellow journalism
    One of the great breakthoughs in propaganda. The ability to prove a point just by over exposing it to the masses. If they see it enough they'll believe it. Planting fear and then playing the fear into action. Using different sources to corrodinate the effort to make it seem as if the whole world thinks this way. Pioneered by William Randolph Hearst in his reefer madness style campaign of the 1930's.

    The war on drugs has always served a political agenda. During the Red Scare in the early 1950s, Sen. Joseph McCarthy blamed Red China for peddling heroin to weaken the moral fiber of the United States and the Free World.

    Ironically, it appears that McCarthy himself developed a nasty little addiction to morphine while leading the anticommunist crusade. But his dope wasn't coming from Maoist China. According to Ladies Home Journal, that bastion of left-wing political correctness, McCarthy was getting his daily morphine script from Harry Anslinger, longtime head of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics.

    Everyone has heard the joke about how you can tell when operatives from the Bush administration are lying - their lips are moving. Given the Bush presidency's horrid record of lying about everything from preemptive war to domestic issues such as the environment, health care and education, it should come as no surprise that they're at it again. This time, it's to interfere in Montana's election on medical marijuana, I-148. And guess what? Their lips are moving again.

    We want our 'role models' to lie
    Drug WarRant
    DWR: Saturday, April 26, 2008
    Link (Via Baylen)

    The next big scandal in sports comes from a statement made on radio by Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard. Howard explains:

    "What I was stating was just [in response to] a random question he asked me about the marijuana use. I just let him know that most of the players in the league use marijuana and I have and do partake in smoking weed in the offseason sometimes and that's my personal choice and my personal opinion. But I don't think that's stopping me from doing my job."

    He's not using marijuana during the season, and he hasn't flunked any drug tests.

    So now the league and the press are scrambling to find how you punish someone for... um... telling the truth.

    Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said before Friday's game against the Hornets that any punishment from the club will be meted out "internally."

    "We won't make it public," Cuban said. "But we'll deal with it.

    "We'll do what we need to do and deal with it internally and then that's it."

    What really bugs them is that he is matter-of-fact and unrepentant about it.

    For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for â??bad blood,â?ť1 their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all.

If a lone human being forcibly denied a patient their lifesaving medication, which then hastened their death, that cruel person would certainly be indicted for murder. Yet Peter is only the latest victim of an uncaring, unaccountable, unquestioned "drug" policy run by a retired 4-Star Army General, Drug "Czar" Barry McCaffrey- the stone cold heart of Marijuana Prohibition.

    Medical Cannabis and Industrial Hemp Re-legalization
    An Open Letter to All Americans
    By R. William Davis
    Before the Gatewood Galbraith for Governor Campaign in 1991, few Kentuckians knew that the plant that the federal government had demonized for over 50 years as "Marijuana - Assassin of Youth," was, in fact, Cannabis Hemp, the most traded commodity in the world until the mid-1800s, and our state's number one crop, industry, and most important source of revenue, for over 150 years.

    Today, thanks to the efforts of pioneer hemp researchers and public advocates such as Galbraith, Jack Fraizer, Jack Herer, Chris Conrad, Ed Rosenthal, Don Wirtshafter and others, the federal government's unjustifiable suppression of our state's right to develop our most valuable and versatile natural resource, is facing increasing opposition from an informed public.

No original words...no original thoughts...no original links...all a plagueristic attempt to expose yourself as controllable. Same bullshit with every post. Same old links, same twisting of facts to suit your theories, same verbal assaults. What...were you promised that if you ever get good at this trolling stuff, that you can expect to get handed a job at the Huffington Post? As it's obvious you aren't very good at this...you should really stick with stuff you know, like...umm...well, I'm sure that maybe someday you'll be good at something. :jointsmile:

    Another major difference between me and you...I work within the law...you worm your way around it.
    Wasn't going to report this post, but changed my mind. Your behaviour is unacceptable, your insights, laughable and your interest in supporting medical cannabis seems to take back-seat to your anti-everybody political views, your racist and homophobic posts, and generally because you disrespect this site and it's members. We have a shitload of good people in here, so I gurantee you...we won't miss yet another paperboy that misses the porch every morning thinking of new ways to hate.

    p.s. - the bad rep you gave me took 4 points from my 3300 or so, and added some color to my otherwise drab control panel. Am I supposed to be angry, or say ouch...? Pathetic.

    Really though, it's hardly worth the effort you know. That guy is obviously a "true believer" and nothing, no matter how rational will ever change that. Thank you for not letting this ass get you into a position where you would have gotten banned. I just cannot stand people like that. I would rep you but I still have to spread some around. From now on, if we get anymore of these trolls, we should just hi-jack the threads and make them all about something completely off topic until they get the point. How bout it?:jointsmile:

    Altho I like the idea, doubtful thread hijacking is an effective method of intelligent discourse, and I believe is frowned upon, lol.

    I'd rather confront them with their own inaccuracies. Confuses the shit out of some of 'em. Anyway, someone needs to cary the torch of conservatism, while battling the evil forces of liberal fascism. (to "America the Beautiful")

    Regardless...my only reason for participating in posts like this, is to show others that conservatives and christians are not ignorant, not bent on restricting personal freedoms, not out to shaft the world, and some of us are not going to stand for anyone painting the conservative/spiritual/religious peoples of the world in their own dark shade of black. They paint everyone into a neat little isolated corner...but when you look closely, it's them stepping in the paint.

    A small portion of the links he so generously copied and pasted were valid, once upon a time. Are there going to be isolated abuses...? Of course. Just like this now-banned individual. He wanted his point made, but half way through he'd forget the point and take weird hateful tangents, betraying his claims of tolerance and progressiveness.
    I have nothing against any dissenting viewpoint, but like it says in my signature...If you are comfortable with your facts, blah, blah, blah... (Neil Cavuto - Fox News)

    Kinda strange, this sudden implosion. IDK... Maybe he was running out of hate. :thumbsup:

    I believe that very soon, in this current economy and state of the Union, a few of the states will legalize and tax cannabis, and either there will be a federal backlash, and a subsequent tightening of the federal legal belt, or the rest of the states will follow like lemmings...reviweing inmate cases, dropping simple 'sales' and 'possesion' charges, but since the feds control border access, importing will likely remain a felony. Either way...likely to be heard by the Supremes?

    With regards to old cannatales infecting modern-day politics, (Nixon lie killing...blah, blah...) it was ingrained into mainstreem society for almost a hundred years. Has been a slow process, and many in political leadership since the turn of the century, (or so) have used the misinformation (Reefer Madness and W.R. Hurst, for instance) to their benefit, furthering the folklore and lies.

    Times change, as do the circumstances and issues. With younger candidates elected nationwide, more attention is now on cannabis, and old myths are just that...old myths. And doubtful coming into these forums just to shit on our government, our religion, or our values will speed the process. Matter of fact...some of us resent half-truths and outright lies, and are willing to defend the moral issues of religion, personal responsibility and values.

    LOL, yeah you are right, I am just exhausted. Working to hard in the grow room I guess. But, intelligent discourse would require it to go both ways not one way!

    You are preaching to the choir brotha! It just pissed me off to read through this crapola I guess and see you all alone out here. Glad you were here to hold it down, I don't know why I wasn't.
    So judging from this poster, is it safe to say 45 years from now there will still be flamers bashing Bush for all the evils of the world? Good lord! LOL
