You don't grow booze in the woods. It's a profession. Any pothead can grow pot so it's a lower class turf war. The distillers use marketing and pricing.
LOL- you are pointing out the difference between legal producers and illegal producers.
Lots of moonshiners made booze in the woods- and in cities- and elsewhere. Hell any drinker can make alcohol- alcohol is actually easier to make than growing pot- I can have a batch of beer ready to drink in 3 weeks- pot requires a growing season.
How many people are being killed for growing legal pot in Colorado? Or in Washington? About as many as are being killed for making legal alcohol.
Great points. And the Federal Government and wealthy American Business interests were behind criminalizing 'Moonshining' anyway. It was all about the money. It was a hostile takeover of a very lucrative business. The poor little guy had to be eliminated.
This awful incident is actually a stark exmple of why Marijuana nees to be decriminalized. No one should die or be imprisoned over Marijuana. It's time for us to evolve.
We have too many dopeheads now. Legalizing it will make it worse. Colorado is suffering more auto deaths as a result. Here I smell it often in the stores so the boneheads are driving loaded.
Nah, there are actually too many Alcoholics and legal prescription dopeheads. No one has ever overdosed on Marijuana. However, millions die from alcohol poisoning, liver disease, and prescription drug overdoses.
Marijuana has even been found to possess numerous health benefits. No one dies from 'too much' Marijuana. It's time to evolve and make its use an adult decision. The time has come.
Pot turns people into planters. You are delusional. The real problem with it is people think they are fine or smarter when they are stoned. Nobody thinks alcohol makes them smarter. Most people have no problem with alcohol but many times more do it, it's commonly sold. Stoners eventually want the bigger high too so your analogy is false.
Pot turns people into planters? Depends on what strain you're smoking. If you're smoking an Indica strain, then yeah, couch lock and not wanting to do anything can be an issue. However...............smoke a really good Sativa and you don't get the couch lock, you actually become energized and feel like doing things like cleaning the house or mowing the lawn.
And yes, there are certain strains that are Sativa dominant that also appear to help with creativity. One of those strains is Cherry Diesel. And while it might not increase my intelligence, it DOES give me a different perspective, which opens my mind up to new uses for old things, hence increasing my creativity.
Stoners want a bigger high? How many stoners have you actually sat down and talked with? My room mate really enjoys Indica strains because they help her with pain relief, but she can't smoke Sativa strains because it overloads her pain receptors and makes her hurt. Me? I prefer the Sativa strains, because I don't like to become couch locked, doing nothing. And..................if you were to check with most smokers, they have their favorite strains that they are loyal to, even if some of those strains are actually LOWER in THC content. Golden Goat is one of the lower THC content strains, but it also has a high CBD content, which is good for pain management. And, fwiw, you can only get so high at one sitting. After you reach a certain state, you will either (a) fall asleep (Indica strains), or (b) you will end up wasting smoke because you've already hit the threshold and can't get any higher.
Before making false statements like that, you should really do some research and actually talk to people who currently smoke and find out what their experience is or try it for yourself, because there is too much misinformation out there that is being touted as gospel.
