Marijuana is a gateway drug

[Two Thumbs]

There must have been a reason marijuana was outlawed in the 1930s - you can laugh at Reefer Madness all you want -but there must have been a reason............................

People will give you racism reasons, and that's mostly bunk.

I can't recall the names. Pot the plant itself was starting to cut into the profits of cotton growers and people that made paper from trees.

It was easier to grow and cost less to change into thread and paper.

so someone went after it with a vengance, part of what he used was racism, but that was just another nail, not the coffin he was building.

It'll be legal soon, the facist will fight for control of thier power every step of the way. This would mean billions lost by republican special interest.

DAMN you are a true demwit.

You think pot won't become big biz?

"But we can grow it in our backyards."

You can grow tobacco in your front yard, but I have yet to see anyone do it.

There once was slavery in this country. There must have been a "reason".
Alcohol was once illegal. There must have been a "reason".

Yes there were reasons for both. Doesn't mean they were GOOD reasons.

God created races. There must have been a reason.

Yes. Because there has to be a litmus test for humanity, one that would determine who is a complete idiot and who is not.

Race is a perfect opportunity through which we can determine intelligence.

Those who take it upon themselves to make ignorant and down right stupid remarks such as the one you've just made, fail the test and we as the rest of the whole of humanity can thus isolate you, laugh at you, and dub you a social outcast. Therefore weeding out the intellectually weak, making our species (not to mention our nation) stronger ass we move forward and progress.

What it becomes is none of my business, or the government's for that matter.

A free market generally tends to trend the way of big business, or did we forget that we believe in free market capitalism in this country?

in itself is much more powerfull than the stuf in the 60s

was mostly latent from the 40/50s then it reemerged due to lib degeneracy

see Reefer Madness

My gateway drug was coffee.

And incidently?

Today coffee is much more powerful than it was when I got addicted to it.

There are an estimated 200,000,000 American addicts of that drug.

I couldn't be more for the freemarket if you put a gun to my head.

The only reason I don't fully support the legalization of pot is b/c we will still have other illegal drugs. If you are going to allow one, you must allow the others or we are just doing it for political points and not striking a blow for freedom.

A reason it was outlawed? Hmmmmm, I'm guessing nanny-state politics where the gubmint decides what is best for the citizens. Sounds very liberal and socialist to me. The conservative view would be to make it legal, let people exercise their individual liberty and practice self control. Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, but tobacco is a pain in the ass. You have to smoke it twice.

Then again, pot is really smelly, and if you have a pot plant in your front yard, Mexicans will be coming over and picking buds off of it.

I'm for legalization of marijuana and cocaine because they are plants that can be grown and sold as commodity.

Marijuana specifically because it has medical benefits and it's really not (in my opinion) all that dangerous. I'd enjoy a nice relaxing blunt of purple kush every once and a while if I could, I'd like to remain in the US military for a while, so I won't be doing that, but I'd love the idea of it being legalized so that I could go back to my high school years.

I'm for decriminalization of all other "hard drugs".

I don't think people should be thrown in jail for being stupid. Just made social outcasts and misfits and left to wallow in their own self-pity.

When was the last time an elected official did something for reasons other than political points (or financial gain)? We have legal alcohol, and it was illegal at one time.

I would agree, but other than Palin/Paul supporting decrim it's all dems on the legalization front. Please pass on to conservatives.

No, cocaine is not a plant. Coca is a plant. Cocaine is a man-made substance.

True. Cocaine would be classified as a harder drug. I'd still say decriminalize.

I would say decriminalize as well. The users of hard drugs are victims, not criminals.

And why was prohibition repealled? Because the illegality of alcohol bred gangsters, violence and and a lot of crime. Kind of like the current drug lords and war on drugs. We are repeating history. Legalize it, regulate it, tax it. The economy grows and the crime rate drops.

Jeez! Cocoa is a plant. Milk chocolate is a man made substance. Cotton is a plant. Thread and fabric is a man made substance. Iron ore is a mineral. Steel is a man made substance. Do you have a point?

 

[topspin]

Cali's economy will explode upwards, the ghanja industry brings in more than wine. Now it will be taxed, other greedy politicians will get on the gravey train.

Prop 19!!! Jah willing

Yes, and I will be happy to explain it at the GED level for you. Chewing on coca leaves is not especially harmful. Snorting or smoking man-made products such as cocaine or crack is harmful.

The original point was that marijuana and coca were plants, and therefore we had no business outlawing them, and I agree with that. I also believe that all drugs, including prescription drugs, should be on the shelves and freely available to any adult who is dumb enough to take them, but I also believe that intelligent people should know just how harmful some of these substances can be.

I don't need the explanation you got at your GED class since I have a masters, but thanks anyway. What adult in America today doesn't know how harmful these substances can be? Seriously?

I'm sure someone did something sometime b/c he thought it was the right thing to do.

The main goal of every would be pol, is to get elected, then the main goal is to get re-elected. Everything else is for personal gain.

There are no innocent politicians. If there were, more of them would be in jail.
