Marijuana should be legalized and should be taken seriously as a medicine.

Thank you for a stimulating topic. It's about time. Even conservatives are lining up to free the weed. What a part of our culture is weed. Historians will have no difficulty determining what has the most influence on our society. What religion, philosophy, book, movie or band? Who has not weighed in on the subject? In "Romancing the Stone" when they throw another kilo on the fire? A smoke break in an adventure movie. There are so many myths about marijuana, including the name. It's not Spanish at all. It was coined by Harry Anslinger. Here's what he says: "An entire family was murdered by a youthful addict in Florida. When officers arrived at the home, they found the youth staggering about in a human slaughterhouse. With an axe he had killed his father, mother, two brothers, and a sister. He seemed to be in a daze… He had no recollection of having committed the multiple crime. The officers knew him ordinarily as a sane, rather quiet young man; now he was pitifully crazed. They sought the reason. The boy said that he had been in the habit of smoking something which youthful friends called "muggles," a childish name for marijuana." And cops to this day are going crazy trying to deal with this murderous drug, mainly by trying to keep from laughing as they smoke your stash which of course you cannot have in the slammer. I see "Reeder Madness" is making the rounds. Remember people used to take this stuff seriously. How is it possible? We can see hysterical media today that people are falling for. The National Forensic League, well I haven't thoroughly examined their proof that pirates are the cause of global warming but perhaps they are trying to tell us something. Most of science is wrong. It's always been that way. It's supposed to be that way. That's the way it works. It's called trial and error. The Marijuana Potency Project. They take one sample from each bust, so if they get one ton of, say, 5% THC pot and one gram of 25% THC hash (yes they forgot to mention they include hash and hash oil) the "average potency" is 15%. Laugh at these bozos if you wish but they are serious. They want to lock you up and fine you for posession of herbal medicine. No scientific journal will even get near this garbage. But it costs lots of money and it proves that cannabis potency keeps increasing every year even though it is still the same as it ever was so that kills two birds with one stone. Scare tactics: http://www.usdoj.gov... Racial profiling: http://latinousa.kut.org... So the increased potency just means minority groups know where to get better weed. Keep this is mind when shopping. Better living through chemistry. Our tax money wasn't wasted after all. Well we are both adults. What a bummer. Let me light up and see how to address this. I think the question we must ask is why the witch hunt? Is this a simple question? What effect will this, or any online debate have on the public perception of the issue? Is it really reasonable to believe that anyone is going to cooperate with cannabis tax after being persecuted for so long? Not me. Anyway we can plant them faster than they can eradicate them without wiping out everything else too. There isn't anywhere on the planet safe from this toxic eradication program for a poor weed that never hurt anyone and brings pleasure to millions. Particularly of concern, as we can see, is the National Forests. Why, any Johnny Appleseed that wants to can create quite a problem for law enforcement because now Freddy has all this stuff to smoke which they get fired if they smoke and nobody to arrest anyway. I think this could become unmanageable real soon. Of course if they simply confiscate it it will end up back on the street right away. Why does all the best hash come from Moslem countries? Joyce http://tv.mpp.org... has the answer. It's her grandchildren and everyone's grandchildren and the World Trade Center that are being targeted by the Taliban. The hash war is on. See, we can focus our hate. I think if we can figure out Joyce Nalepka we will have solved the problem. What makes her tick? Why is she doing this? "Students for Sensible Drug Policy is a militant fringe of the drug legalization movement. As parents, we would treat membership in SSDP as firmly as we would treat drug use. Stop the behavior and resign from the group or pay your own tuition." Retrieved from "http://ssdp.org...; She belongs in the Middle Ages. Are you now or have you ever been a member of any organization attacking the World Trade center or Joyce's grandchildren? We have seen this happen before you know. Complete amnesia should humanely be induced in Joyce Nalepka using cutting edge, no pun intended, technology. I think this is the most humane treatment possible. Her grandchildren will also be grateful. Oh wait. http://www.mpp.org... Public opinion is changing. They have seen the errer of there ways and everything will be OK from now on and we know what he is smoking. It's not going to happen. I don't think so. Don't fall for any of their balogna. It grows in the ground and you can make all the laws you want. The shamrock still grows in Ireland and weed still grows around the world. Mother Nature wins every time. Notice this drug war. The rhetoric is about hard drugs but the busts are for weed. If weed is legalized they will still not set all the people free who were unjustly imprisoned so that is unfair. The law should be equally unfair to everyone. That is "Equal Injustice Under the Law." The Arizona initiative is something new. "Pharmacies" will be licensed to grow up to twelve plants per medical client. Medical clients not living withing 25 miles of a pharmacy will be allowed to grow their own. Health caretakers could grow plants for their clients. Except who would want to become the target now of criminals and police and their own clients? Violent weed smokers will bomb the pharmacies just so they can grow their own after stealing their harvest of course. Then they will wage war on each other. Maybe legalization is a good idea to get rid of them all. And Joyce's grandchildren will be safe. Many people are allergic to cannabis. Hemp competes with Big Chem and Big Pharma so that is the economic reason for prohibition. It's to make hemp illegal. They are the ones poisoning Joyce's mind. We need to get their attention. http://en.wikipedia.org... What could the Army have wanted with 300 of these? You could take over a country. They are probably remote controlled. What is the best way to keep weed? Freezing? Seal it up tight? Bongs make the smoke stale. Papers are irritating. A small pipe with a hole in it. I think the key when smoking it is to reduce the oxygen available, by covering it or some vaporizers work that way. This makes the most smoke. Soak your pipe in alcohol for a couple weeks before using it to remove toxic finish. Clean it by soaking it in liquor and drinking it down somehow. Remember to remove the pipe first. You can clean the pipe with toilet paper and then smoke that or swallow it. The toilet paper not the pipe. When using weed for cooking make sure to grind it up real good. It has to be absorbed by oil and cooked. Cookies and sugar are bad for you. Use it in main dishes. All they need to do is develop a device to hear coughing from weed and we are done for. Maybe we can discuss making hash in the next round.
