i love when they use faulty studies to justify legislation .. :)

The very first key the study is faulty is ", they used a marijuana-like drug to"

so if i was trying to argue "apples" caused paranoia , a faulty study would be me using "oranges" to test with and call it "apple like"

In a nutshell they basically are saying marijuana made rats more scared of being shocked.. hello.. the rats had a justifiable reason to be scared.. they were being electrocuted.. If anything the study shows marijuana HELPED them be MORE aware of a truly scary event.

This is just another study to perpetuate silly myths.. like smoking marijuana lowers sperm count.. even if lets say we could prove beyond a doubt marijuana does lower sperm count. Physical evidence says it is not a concern.. i.e. hippies don't seem to have any problems having children.. infact quite the opposite.

Yes there is a difference between growing weed, and growing *good* weed.

It's the difference between an unripened tomato from the store, or a ripened on the vine organic tomato. Depends on how it is grown.

Haven't you ever smoked an outdoor grow? vs. hydro.... the bugs eat the thc crystals, but it still works. just not as juicy and ripe. :)

and tomatoes grow wild too... there are wild cherry tomatoes growing in my yard now, I didn't even plant. They might taste good, too. fuck im gonna eat some lolz

the first time i tried weed was in florida when i was working there
to get weed in america and Australia is just like going to the corner shop very easy
so why ban it its just crazy

Everybody would just grow their own pot on the same day that everybody churns
their own butter from a cartoon of milk and brews their own beer in the basement.

:1orglaugh


There is one thing that business can always count on in America : Lazy consumers.


Saying that everyone will grow their own is like saying that everyone will do their
own website programming. I mean everything needed is here : w3schools.com

Look how that one worked out.

lol yeah, they're very serious about the "integrity" of the game..

COUGH, LAUGH, COUGH.. Ugh I just drank some bongwater.. :Oh crap

A very good decision. Can somebody tell me why narcotics should be legal? Marijuana is for junkies so why this news should bother normal people?

i bet you'd understand/relate better if they made sucking cock illegal... :thumbsup





.

Maybe. I know that when I was in highschool, me and all my little hoodlum buddies all grew our own (I lived in Florida)...I had it easy because my dad owned thousands of acres of orange groves and I would just go out to a pond in the middle of one of the groves and grow plants right there hidden in the bushes beside the pond.

Of course by the time I went to college, all my friends were more interested in the fact that my dad also had several thousand acres of ranch land with cattle. So we lost interest in pot and started picking 'shrooms instead and making tea all through college. lol

But anyway...back then (and probably because it was Florida and the weather was perfect for it) most everybody I knew grew their own. I still remember all the different "types": Sensemilla, Columbian Gold, Panama Red, etc.
I stopped smoking it after highschool. But a buddy gave me a hit off some of his California grown stuff a few weeks ago and WOW! That shit knocked me for a loop!

Here in Nevada it's a "grow your own state" if you have a medical card. I don't know the specifics, but I think they allow you to grow 1 or 2 adult plants and 1 or 2 juvenile plants simultaneously.
Unfortunately (like most states) there is a dumb twist to the law.
Yes, it's legal to grow here...but SEEDS are illegal! :1orglaugh

Hmm, I don't think any SANE country can forbid ladies to suck my penis. At least in my county it's not forbidden. However as far as I know, if in some US state(s) some girl will suck my cock it will be considered as a sodomy. Barbarians :2 cents:

if the idiots in power would just legalize marijuana, regulate online poker, and tax both, this country could quickly work down the debt that is drowning us

Wow, even though millions can testify that it does?

Robbie, you should write a book, man. Serious.

Come to NYC, I'll blow your mind with some kind bud. :)

You cant patent soemthing that grows in nature.

You CAN genetically modify the plant to be able to patent it.

There are too many people around with their own strains. The government would have to spend countless resources taxing all the different head shops. Not profitable enough. Other option is the government growing and selling the weed through large contractors. They would have to make it illegal for anyone not to buy, sell or grow non-approved strains. The food industry in the US and Canada works this way. Only government approved genetic strains are allowed to be sold, bought and exchanged on market.

In today's watchful eye and the internet age it would not be able to be implemented without a huge uproar.

Thus allowing Marijuana to be legal and a taxable commodity is way too much bother for them to allow. You'll never see US or Canada like Amsterdam, however, you will someday soon see it being legal to poses within reasons and that's as far as it will ever go.

Up to 1 ounce of personal use is legal in the city of Denver :thumbsup We also have the first cannabis restaurant in the U.S.

For a city of 4 million people, we also have the lowest crime rate of any major city in the U.S. In short, Legalization works! :pimp

This is why arguments like "legalize this for xyz reason" do not work out. Does the government have the right to say what goes into your body, watch on the internet, or who you can marry? If the answer is yes, then you are not free but a slave that sways with the wishes of a master.

bottom line is whiskey is worse than MJ. I should know i drink too much jack daniels. why not make whiskey illegal. its silly

Case in point - straight from today's headlines...

qft :helpme:helpme

That wasn't my question, nice side step though.

If it doesn't cure anything but only relieves pain and suffering. Given the enormous furore that would result from legalising it, I can see why they decided this way.

I know it sucks, but Governments should react to public pressure don't they?

Word I used was should, not do.

I am always a bit surprised when I meet new pot smokers.

For instance: I go to a huge softball tournament for girls aged 8 to 18 years old. My daughter is 16 at the time. I go around this hill to take a piss and there is the commissioner of her league, four of the best (winning-est) coaches the league has ever known and several other people from the board of directors. All smoking a big fat doobie!

Another time: At work and I am walking out to my car after a shift. It looks like someone is welding on the other side of a van and it peaks my curiosity so I investigate. Round the front of the van and there stands several employees of the company. A shop manager, church decon, clown of the company, one of the hardest workers, one of the most senior employees and the biggest bitch of a woman I had ever known (up until that point).

Go to play poker: The group is a bunch of well off individuals. Business owners... I go to the backyard during the break and get handed the pipe from some guy that had to be 70... Out of 28 people playing that night 24 of them were out there passing several pipes...

You just never know.

Not completely true...

You can patent the process of extraction and the final product. Acai berries is a good example... Finding something new is difficult, but when someone finds it, they make a killing off of it.

hypocrisy

I am not sure it cures anything by smoking but there are some reports and documentaries about pure THC oil being a possible cancer suppressor or cure. Google 'run from the cure'.

I'm not arguing with you at all, but it WAS EXACTLY your question...

to which I replied that MOST LEGAL pharmaceuticals do NOT CURE anything either. They just offer temporary relief, so you can stay on the hook.

There is no profit in "cures".

Ahh, that's not a decent argument.

Cigarettes don't cure anything either, but you can buy all you want.

:2 cents:

They say "it ruins lives"; but the pot smoker's life is not ruined until they are
arrested. So they are ruining lives to stop the life from being ruined.

The reason there is crime associated with pot is because we made it criminal.
But watch people blame crime on the substance when in fact we are the ones
that made the substance the crime.

We created a situation where only criminals are willing to sell it, yet we wonder
why there is crime. :1orglaugh

The whole god dam forsaken world thrives off hypocrisy

And THAT is the entire thing in a nutshell.

Make it legal and all that "crime" goes away.
The border with Mexico becomes "safe".
Cop will actually have time to solve REAL crimes.
The prisons are no longer overcrowded.

It's absolutely no different than when alcohol prohibition was attempted. That little dumbass move created a giant organized criminal set up that lasts to this very day. There would have been no Al Capone, Bugsy Seigal, etc. and all those horrible shootouts, massacres, and gunfights if it weren't for the U.S. govt making alcohol "illegal".

Everytime the govt oversteps it's authority and tries to run people's lives it ALWAYS ends up badly.

Weed is all natural!

It used to be until they started to lace it with crushed glass over here in the UK
