THIS IS WHY AMERICA WILL FAIL, WHAT ASS BACKWARDS THINKING AND WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!! How many people have EVER overdosed smoking weed? How many people enter the emergency room with a MARIJUANA EMERGENCY?! Meanwhile the government will POSION ITS OWN CITIZENS THROUGH THE SALE OF CIGARETTES IN ORDER TO MAKE REVENUE THROUGH TAXES, FUCKING DISGUSTING. And when you die from smoking it's usually in the from of cancer or emphysema. So not only do you get charged an arm and a leg to smoke your whole life away, YOU GET TO BASICALLY SUFFOCATE TO DEATH THROUGH LUNG CANCER OR EMPHYSEMA. NICEEEEEEEE Anyone want to even try to estimate how many TRILLIONS of dollars it's cost Americans over the past say 60 years to treat lung cancer patients. DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE REPORTS, FEDERAL REPORTS, THAT CLAIM MARIJUANA MIGHT PREVENT CANCER, TRUE FUCKING STORY. CAN'T SMOKE WEED WHO MAKES PEOPLE RELAX, BUT DRINK AS MUCH FUCKING ALCHOL AS YOU CAN, SO YOU... BEAT YOUR WIFE GET HUNG OVER AND CAN'T PERFORM AT YOUR JOB GET DRUNK, CRASH YOUR CAR AND KILL A FAMILY OF 5 DESTROY YOUR OWN FAMILY GET ONE OF THE MANY DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH ALCHOLISM, SO AGAIN YOU CAN RAPE THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER/HEALTH CARE SYSTEM... AND THEN WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP DRINKING, BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS GOING DOWN THE TOILET, DONT TAKE ANY BLAME, CHALK IT UP TO SOME DISEASE SO YOU CAN DRINK THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AWAY! LMFAOOOOOOO THIS COUNTRY IS AS ASS BACKWARDS AS IT GETS.
+1. Epic, great post. We also have people in prison for longer terms for stealing food or possessing a dime bag of pot than those who raped or severely assaulted people, or bilked seniors out of their life savings. Gotta' support the prison industry! The U.S. has the highest % of its population incarcerated of any nation on earth. A DISTANT No. 2? China. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/02/28/ST2008022803016.html "With more than 2.3 million people behind bars, the United States leads the world in both the number and percentage of residents it incarcerates, leaving far-more-populous China a distant second, according to a study by the nonpartisan Pew Center on the States."
Then they sanction alcohol which also causes massive health problems like damage to livers, loss of fine motor coordination, nervous system damage etc. Its really degrading to have a society that basically deigns to dictate to full grown adults what they can and cant do. In the end thats not freedom. Theres nothing free about a system where your constanatly told what to think and how to act. If you had the choice that would be something. But clearly you dont get to decide even though when its government sanctioned you can go to another country and drop bombs and kill hundreds of innocent people. I think people need to wake up to just how fascist and controlling the government is and make a conscious decision to stop paying these people tax dollars.
It's a bit more complicated than that. It's hemp that large corporates are afraid of. Not much profit margin on a plant that is the superstar of self substinence.
I once smoked a whole ounce one day and saw God . . . but that was 33 years ago I do agree 100% with your post. Well stated.
Dear bxp, well written! I think we're all in agreement with you. That study you reference was conducted by MDs at UCLA. Ironically, it's the "THC" that prevents cancer growth, though the smoke itself is harmful to cells. Maybe a good vaporizer is the answer! Best wishes & happy trading!
Hemp produces more paper per acre than trees, more oil per acres than soybeans, more fiber per acre than cotton (and is 35 times stronger than cotton), is worthless to smoke due to the THC content and if planted enmass would destroy the openly cultivated smokeable crops within 7 years. Typical political crap not to use it as a cash crop. Willy Nelson and Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson are the only two individuals that are licensed to cultivate hemp in the US. (Yes, one must be be licensed to grow hemp in the US) Both have companies that make clothing out of the fiber. Woody got his license because of lobbying from Willy and Willy got his license by submitting a thesis paper written by a student in Texas in the late 1970's. George Washington was the largest grower of Hemp in the US at one time.
Great post. Hemp is also a nutrition wonderplant, complete protein, great fat ratios, high fiber. It can be made into plastics & and some industrial chemicals, hence competing with the Oil & Chemical industry. Most interesting of all, is that hemp is a weed, not a plant, hence higher survivability when growing with less requrements. Truly amazing. I did not know about licenses to grow hemp, that is very interesting. I'm gonna look into that. What I have learned in the past year is that knowing how to cultivate Hemp is a path to self substinence.
these bastard pushing (weed, coke, heroin) drugs to kids that is why it's illegal can't control capitalism .. too much profit in narcotics BUSINESS. make $20,000 profit on kilo of a deal. talk about easy money for moving aa kilo of coke. .
