Why Is Cannabis Illegal? I know.

[Wesley Pipes]

well in that case why the fuck is it illegal then? wtf

did u not read my first post? the goverment (aswell as all the industries listed above) lose a hell of a lot of money, thats why it aint legal.

[Dr. VanNostrin]

I would love to sit down and have this conversation with the lawmakers of this country. They have never experienced the drug for themselves, all they know about it are the studies done by the crooked ass FDA and the DEA who allow alcohol and cigarettes, some of the absolute deadliest consumer products in human history, to be legal while a plant that is not altered between the time of harvest and the time of inhaling is illegal. There is no opinion there, any study done by ANYONE would show that cigarettes kill more people a year than all other illegal drugs combined. And they are legal! Hello!!!! Does anyone else know this besides us bud smokers? YES! THEY DO! But the shit is still legal. How the fuck can they do that to their people and arrest someone for smoking something that has nowhere near the intoxicating effects of alcohol and absolutely nowhere near the health risks of cigarettes? I know how - all they care about is their profit, not your wellbeing, and those tobacco and alcohol industries make a SHIT LOAD of money and the government gets a SHIT LOAD of that money through taxes. Could you imagine the lawmakers and members of the FDA's response to a statement like this is they had no choice but to sit down and hear it? Could you imagine the silence that would insue after I made my point? They would get up, leave the room, and never give a response.

corporations pay for political campaigns. in return, politicians protect corporation. there is a division of government to protect each type of corporation. for instance, the FDA protects corporate interests of food and drug companies, even if it means disregarding the AMA, NIH, or AMJ.

that is the why, there is no good reason for prohibition (unless u are testing a program to brainwash an entire nation into thinking that a miracle drug can hurt u).

US is the most efficient brainwasher and the most efficient killing machine. The US can ruin more lives for lower costs, even for profit in privatized prisons. non-violent prisoners=cash.

kind of makes u wonder what else they are lying about for money...

personally, i find it interesting to talk to prohibitionists. they believe that their opinion is greater than scientific fact and logic. it makes me laugh on the inside.

well we could just kill all the lawyer politicians .....
but that would be socially unacceptable (sp) .....
but we're gettin' really tired of their BS ....
which goes back to the beginning.

the chemical, plastics, and oil companies should capitalize off hemp but they're stupid...
bill gates invested 74 million this week (announced) w/ a company making ethanol...
he should have did it w/ hemp... it's easy to make ethanol through hemp

[willystylle]

scientfic fact there have been programs about it people who smoked skunk for years get it, act strange, hear voices, paranoia etc... they found out it was because of weed. Thats proof

bullshit. i can point you to scientific proof that says it DOESN'T cauz all that shit.
Oh, and just so you know - I have a MENSA-qualifing IQ of 146. And I've been smoking for 7 years. Theres your proof right here, baby.

[skaisdead]

cigarette smoke causes cancer, but we legalize this.
Alcohol can cause Cirrhosis of the liver.
Marijuana can cause psychosis.

WHO GIVES A SHIT!


Everything on this effing planet causes some kind of health risk! Breathing our air causes health complications.

LEGALIZE IT.


It's no more dangerous than half the shit we already have around anyways.
We're all dying. Let us choose how we're going to kill ourselves. LET ME DIE HAPPY AND/OR HIGH

That only has something to do with family genetics, smoking of ganja only causes these people with this genetics to go psycho. If it is that bad, why would Jah of given us the Blessed Tree Of Life:rasta:

Well for one simple reason because it can make you have short-term memory loss, and make you go mental.

Thats just not true.
What is true is that when people smoke cannabis they begin to laugh at those in power,.....and when you laugh at the government you are in big trouble. The government doesnt like to be exposed for what they are. Unlike alcohol use, which dumbs one down, cannabis opens the mind. It exposes injustice. It is the Plant of Kindness, The Tree of Life. The Gnostics(older than Christianity) believed that those who use cannabis were taught from the inside and didnt need teachings from the outside. The Christians did all they could to destroy both the writings of the Gnostics by burning them, and the Gnositcs themselves. The Gnostics literally laughed at the Christians and the beliefs that they were trying to instill upon the people of the earth. Once again we see that you dont laugh at those who rely on weapons and force to get their way. I know people who dont use cannabis and their memory is dismal. Dead for three days and then rose again? Now thats funny.:dance:
What a bunch of shit.
Corportations spend billions keeping cannabis illegal. It is a threat to their wealth and the monoploy they have over the population. They are willing to destroy us and the planet for monetary gain, and they are doing it.
The cannabis hemp plant is the most useful crop on earth and can be grown in any backyard. Fuck the government. fuckers.

dude stop spouting off bullshit like its fact. everyone here does that WAY too much and i get really sick of it.

you aren't entirely wrong but you are stating the fact in such a way that it makes weed seem bad. The only relationship between weed and mental illness is that if the pot user has an underlying mental problem it CAN cause it to surface and accelerate it. But there is no evidence AT ALL that people go insane just from smoking weed. if that were true then we would have retards walking around everywhere (oh wait its america, we do)

but its like that movie: How High, where the fuckin prick littel white boy gets ahold of some pot and just turns nuts, fucking rolls a joint out of newspaper and tapes it together with a giant nug in the center. thats what happens when u are a pussy ass sheltered child and all of a sudden the universe and reality come flooding into your head and BAM you can't handle the truth.
