On Marijuana

[Disco Dan]

How come the only guy in this video that says:
"Its Illegal because its a drug"

Because thats how many people they included in the video! Have you no grasp of how warped the media is? A true multifaceted demographic would show a much different view than edited footage you just posted.

[CookMySock]

Yeah, thats true, & why is that?

Contributing to any thread is about diverse opinion, such as yours, so why not share it?

Anti-establishment people just do that TYPE of thing. The same sort of folks learn to wheelie their motorcycle, or avoid the fuzz, or disobey their parents, skip school, play practical jokes on people, do aerobatics in planes, ride fast on the track, or smoke dope. It's not just because its illegal - that just adds to the amusement factor. These people just can never do as they are told or expected, and thats how it has to be. Even if you don't smoke dope, maybe you are one of these people? Long may the government fear these original thinkers, and long should they.

It intrigues me that it seems easy to spot the posts of those that don't, or have never used cannabis.
They invariably come across as plonkers.

like the jebus freaks and fun police?

Isn't it also interesting that these so called experts/scientists can come up with an opposing "fact" if it so suits/pays, as well?

Ahh, right, i just thought it was because dope made people paraniod & delusional.

Nah dope just makes delusional and paranoid people act really really delusional and paranoid, so its obvious for everyone to see. Long term use for these people makes them PERMANENTLY paranoid and delusional. Bad.

It also makes fun, happy, and careful people, even more fun, happy, and careful. And thats good.

Yes, some people should not smoke dope. Or own firearms, or ride fast roadbikes, or bring up children, or, well, you get the picture. As usual, with great freedom comes great responsibility.

In the immortal words of Dr Timothy Leary,
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
Forty years later I read that Neuroscientists have found God in mushrooms.
Researchers at John Hopkins University have found there is no difference between drug-induced mystical experiences and religious ones.
A universal mystical experience with life changing effects can now be produced safely in the laboratory by the hallucinogen contained in magic mushrooms.
They say there is no difference between drug-induced mystical experience and the spontaneous religious ones that believers have reported for centuries. They are descriptively identical.
Furthermore they argue that the potential of hallucinogenic drugs must be explored to develop new treatments for depression, drug addiction and the treatment of intolerable pain.
Is it therefore reasonable to concur there is a case to be made for banning religion on the basis that believers are trying to achieve the same outcomes as users of illicit substances? Or, conversely, decriminalising the use of drugs on religious grounds.
Cannabis has been a religious sacrament for centuries so there is a pretty good case there I would argue.
Free dope or Ban religion. Could be the catch cry for the new millennium.

Yep right on this. Ya just gota read the Book of Revelations. The Romans were known to slip drugs into the food drink to keep prisoners docile.

Ergot is probably the cause of Joan of Arc's visions alond with a number of other religouse experiances..................and in some cases the accusation of witchcraft.

There is a school of thought that the Salem witch-hunts may have had their foundation with ergot.

Then there is the self-induced psychosis by a few who can produce their own hallicinations.

Are you referring to some of the posters on this thread? Or just KB generally.

The recipe for a better world is easy:

Legalise drugs.

Ban organised religion.

I will vote for that!

It took me many years to realise the grip the drug had over me and to hit rock bottom. I know (sic) understand the destructive nature of the drug and the huge damage it can do to the human brain.

I now understand the motive behind your posts. You are weak, and as a result you think everybody else should abstain too

The truth revealed!

Rehab is for quitters!

[mdnzz]

Ya know the worst thing about somebody who has given up something and Tells others to do the same....
They are quitters....
They couldn't handle something in their life and gave up.....

There is no freedom of choice in this world......
No matter what you say or do there will always be somebody there to Judge/condemn you.....

It does not matter what you drug of choice is, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, adrenalin the list goes on.......

It does not matter what your background is, teacher, law enforcer, judge, politician, factory worker, parent etc etc, somebody will be there on hand to condemn your choices.....


There are several thousand + references in journals over the last century as to why any drug/substance taken by somebody can be harmful short/long term usage......

There are also several thousands of years cultures and history as to how drugs/substances are widely accepted and used openly.....

Anything and everything in moderation


It is unfortunate that the 'western' ideology has no room for anything outside of the $ and old boy networks.
