Waste of time going after weed. As far as "getting F'ed up" or the effects, it seems counter productive to go after a plant that does less damage than alcohol. Especially when you figure not one person has ever died from it, it's not addictive, it grows literally like a 'weed', and helps so many people who are sick. No, let the drug companies make billions off medications that do half the job and are made of complex chemical chains and compounds that have crazy side effects. They spend millions in lobbying to keep it illegal because who's gonna buy anxiety, menstrual, post chemo, insomnia, pain, eye problems, severe autism medication when a plant in the back yard can have better results. In 20 years "smoking" pot will be for the die hards, when they can make everything from butter to soda with it. And as far as a gateway drug, how is it a gateway drug when it's a schedule 1, and meth and coke are a schedule 2? You tell lies after lies about how addictive weed is, and how it will ruin your life, and then a kid tries and and says "that's not so bad. What was the big deal?". And so they try crystal meth thinking that if they lied about pot, they must have lied about meth. And then the kid is really screwed. And then there are the courts filled with kids caught with small amounts, and they clog up the prosecutors who have to try them; when they could be focusing on the real bad stuff like meth and coke. Not to mention the tax money that California has just scratched the surface of. People who want to smoke pot will smoke pot no matter what the laws are. It just seems so dumb that they spend billions of dollars so the cartels can make billions of dollars off of a plant. And don't forget WHY it is illegal, Mexicans. When Randal Hurst had the patent to make paper and clothing from non hemp products, the best way to get rid of the competition is to make them illegal...by blaming all this imaginary crime on Mexicans. He was the money behind Refer Madness and personally wrote story after story about how Mexicans high on pot are raping white women all over the south. He got hemp outlawed and reaped the profits from his patents he purchased for nothing.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record, this is coming from someone who doesn't use cannabis or even drink. I can see a stupid fight when I see it, and look into it. I've had too many friends die from cancer and other things, and was shocked to see them use pot in front of me. But it was the only relief they got. So every time I see pot lumped in with a drug (meth) made from road flares, acetone, and stove fuel which everyone knows that every person they know who uses it is a thief and a lier, I just shake my head and wonder who is "winning" this drug war.
Not addictive??? Hahahaha that's why people can quit whenever they want right! They just choose not to hahahaha
