Weed legalised in 2 USA states

[skippa1]

Persecution, I recently had a lawyer not work for me, as well as being unfairly vilified.
Many NZers class stoners as bad people worthy of derision, some idiots probably think it leads to rape, thanks to prohibitionists

Then there is the medical fraternity..... meh

What sort of persecution FFS?

Hardly scientific or based on any sort of fact

Are you saying that the medical fraternity have it wrong?

What side effects?


WTF are you on about?

I rest my case

The main group of people really suffering unfairly are the normal cannabis users, of which there are many.
Much of their suffering is at the hands of the state and police, which tell everyone else they are bad people. My parents believed the fucking drongoes and I was vilified amongst family and associates.

Yet all the while my disliked behaviours are mostly due to genetic autism and bad parenting.
I cant change and be one of you, so go fuck yourself.

My fantastic parents, had my mouth full of mercury at age 14 yrs old, TV 2-6hrs a day, and a junk food diet from birth. I was manifesting the symptoms of chronic degenerative dis-ease by 15yrs old....

And then Dad writes me out of the will because I like cannabis..... AND he was a fucking abusive alcoholic dick!

Those who support prohibition are causing a similar or greater amount of suffering as the regular user via the act of using.

If my shithead doctors had steered me right re autism, maybe things would be different.... I reached out for 20 years trying to get answers for my undiagnosed autisms.

Mostly I got guilt and grief and blame and self loathing. Cunts

Big chip on your shoulder me thinks, "BOO HOO the world has been so mean to me" get the fuck over it and move on.

Maybe you should go back and read the post properly then have another go.

Social persecution... he said as much in the first post you quoted (FFS). Not that it matters, you're just baiting him so you can go 'is that all, what about....'.

Maybe you should... it actually says and adds nothing.

All you've proved so far is that you've either never smoked buds before, or that you're a mindless sheep who believes all government propaganda.

bullshit.

Persecution:
a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate a people because of their religion, race, or beliefs

really? You really think that society treats him this way?

you're just baiting him so you can go 'is that all, what about....

No, I just think that his claim of social persecution may be in his own mind. I can understand (and dont agree with by the way) his claims of family vilifying him because of his smoking weed, but I think that he is exagerating societies reaction to a weed smoker.

[imdying]

bullshit.

No it's not, you're a walking talking example. Although, I will give you credit for 'exaggerating', there's a little of that going on for sure.

so how pray tell am I persecuting him, or any weed smoker?

By belittling his opinion because it does not match your own. By using arguments that aren't real... you think he believes we should be supplying kids with dope? You think anyone believes that? He just wants to enjoy his choice of herb, not pull down society.

where did I say or infer his opinion should match mine? I simply asked him to justify his claim with some fact.

Fuck me, you have a good imagination

You think anyone believes that?

I dont believe that......its your warped imagination that read that

He just wants to enjoy his choice of herb, not pull down society

Again....for the hard of hearing.....he is welcome to. I just wanted to know how society had inflicted on him "a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate him because of his beliefs"

Further manipulation... you must know full well that that particular acute definition is not the only one.

The fact that it's illegal in the first place, and because many employers request drug tests, and because of the social stigma associated with it.

Fuck it. If you cant see it, I'm not going to hold your hand through what most others understand instinctively [hehe].
Persecution does not always involve extermination or driving away.... Stop subjagating me to your bad science and faulty reasonings

Lack of empathy? meh....

Thats weak. As an employer, I am required by law to keep my staff safe from harm. If they are involved in an incident or accident, they may be drug and alchohol tested and I may be prosecuted if they are found to be impaired. Flip it the other way, one of my drivers is loaded up and driving 44 tonne rig down the road, he had a quick toke before work. He looses concentration for a moment, looks up to see your wife/girlfriends/kids faces disappearing below his bumper. Are you happy if I havent ensured he is fit for work? Are you happy if the law hasnt ensured that I test him as they didnt want weed smokers to feel persecuted? What about if he was hung over instead of stoned? (Itest for both and have a breathalyser they must use if I have reasonable doubt)

no its not the only one you are correct, however using any number of other definitions, I still dont see people getting persecuted for smoking weed. They get ignored in garden bars, concerts, at the beach, in their own homes, as long as they dont put themselves in front of the law through their actions, they dont get prosecuted either. I myself have had the blind eye turned by the police when caught smoking weed.

I ask again....what persecution?
