Best part of the whole thread


I don't give a fuck either way, I don't smoke it. Just another thing for us to fuck ourselves up on...

I suppose it'd be alright.I still think certain professions should be tested for drugs.Surgeons,pilots,bus drivers,I've never heard anyone smoking pot say"Lets go out and rob a bank,mug someone,ect."Usually it's,"Let's order a pizza and play some PS2.

And that was one of the supposed reasons why it was illegalized, it caused crime. Harry D. Anslinger of the FBN claimed that it turned perfectly good kids into crazed murdering dope fiends and rapists. Funny how he was a good friend of the DuPont family as well. He pushed for illegalization as a process was invented to seperate the reeds of marijuana plants and could shut down the paper industry overnight. 1 acre of Marijuana yields as much paper as 4 acres of forest land. Much cheaper to go marijuana huh? Also, Marijuana is a made up name, Anslinger wanted something that sounded scary, that nobody would've ever heard of. I'll go dig up this book I have on the subject, but it has alot of things that really kind of tell you how messed up the whole thing was, of course there's a whole conspiracy around the subject. I find it all ironic considering in the 30's it was deemed the "safest therapeutic substance known to man."

Legalize it, tax it, create product to get people off of it. Sounds like a good plan to me.

[zebrathree]

No. Leave it illegal. Over here it gives too much support to OC.

What do you mean to get people off it? Not trying to sound rigid, I just mean are you saying it's addictive. And IIRC, it's not so much that it's illegal, it's that it's taxed heavily, something like 1000 bucks per ounce.

[YogsVR4]

I'm just saying treat them like cigarettes.

There are more addictions then just physical ones.
