    How did the banning of marijuana start?

    I'm curious to find out.

    Interesting info about marijuana

    http://www.theantidrug.com/drug_info...lthhazards.asp

    Now let's see about tobacco

    When pharmacy companies / industrialists realised anyone with half a brain could grow a lifetime supply in their backyard. Cheap strong renewable paper and pulp supplies and drugs means $0 for rich industrialists

        " Apart from its use in tobacco products, nicotine is a scheduled poison under the State Poisons Act."

          a hemp resurgence in the thirties would certainly have been a serious threat to Dupont's petro-chemical strategies.

          or its just a conspiracy against me :p

              sounds like noone here has watched the weed documentary done by woody harrelson. Some 30's hipocrate decided that the drug made you go crazy and depicted it somehow to being violent. That theory has still yet to be proven, as never in the history of the drug has a death been directly or inderectly caused by the "use" of mary jane.

                    hehe.. i only smoke cigs, not much a day though.. quit the weed cuz it seemed like i got some natural aversion of it..
                    btw some ppl dont know this about marijuana, also in the marijuana article posted:
                    " Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers. "
                    note: ^^^that didnt stop me form smoking it by the way it was purely my own body reaction to it why i dont smoke it no more

                        Hemp and cotton where once big rivals the man who invented the cotton gin and cotton growers got together and got it baned.
                        During WW2 it made a comeback and farmers where asked to grow it to make rope for the war.

                              weed was banned because it spammed another board.



                              i know, that was dumb.. but that woody harrelson thing was cool. it was funny to see the different propoganda the government used as one theory after another was proven wrong.

                                no one has ever died from it, its not harmful

                                Often times I wonder why
                                There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                When sickness comes I must decide:
                                When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                    Except psychologically to a low percentage of more than casual users. I'm in one of the biggest weed consumption areas of Australia and we have our own mental clinic to deal with it..

                                      not so much a fascinaion as it is a medicine.
                                      of all the vises people have, show me a pot smoker that
                                      wants to cause trouble. you can just give them a snack and they will take
                                      a nap.

                                                Had to do with xenophobia about Mexicans in the 1910's.

                                                  do some reading..

                                                  superior pulp & paper products ..

                                                  You can build houses from hemp that wont catch fire.

                                                  I know a guy who makes industrial bricks from hemp , and it beats concrete bricks by a mile ( and cheap too )

                                                  Holds more weight , lighter , cheaper, stronger.. and on and on..

                                                  There's a million reasons why you should be fascinated by marijuana.

                                                  Imagine everything you can think of made of wood, now imagine never needing to chop another tree down because it can all be made from marijuana.

                                                            I'm rolling a joint now, but that's not entirely true. They grow trees, for wood. Marijuana plants are plants too. Is it bad to plant and kill them? We have lots of trees.

                                                            I agree there are plenty of other uses, but it would be silly to stop cutting trees!

                                                                They dont grow trees.. trees grow by themselves..

                                                                They dont use man grown trees yet because they take older real trees. Planted trees are useless twigs.. Trees are only renewable if you selective log. It doesnt work if you plant them.. You get matchsticks that way..

                                                                Marijuana takes less than a year to grow and doesn't require selctive harvesting..

                                                                We dont have lots of trees. If we cut them as fast for the next 100 years as we did for the last 100 years we will have 0 trees left..

Some 30's hipocrate decided that the drug made you go crazy and depicted it somehow to being violent. That theory has still yet to be proven, as never in the history of the drug has a death been directly or inderectly caused by the "use" of mary jane.
                                                                                        They used it mostly to control the mexican immigrants that were workign in feilds. They were smoking weed after work and they wanted to have more control over them so they made it illegal . They said it made them go crazy and kill people mostly.

                                                                                        The theory about hemp/coton beeing rivals is probably the real reason thought ...

I've been arround clubs a lot and 99 % of the time a girl or guy get G-out, that's because he did it himself . It's a drug that people are taking . Off course a guy could put it in a girl's drink . But it taste awfull . She'd have to be already drunk enough to fuck him to not taste it .

                                                                                            There are other real rape drugs, but GHB is used as a recreational drug arround here . And they are still calling it the "rape" drug.

Hemp will litterally grow in nearly any soil type, in nearly any climate, and with little to no fertilization. It will also produce two or more crops per year.

Planted trees are useless twigs.. Trees are only renewable if you selective log. It doesnt work if you plant them.. You get matchsticks that way..

                                                                                                    Also currently we have as much forest in this country as we did 100 years ago. Yes we may have less old growth than before but tree wise we actually have more. We can still cut as fast as we have been due to proper management that has been practiced for years and not lower nor deplete our forest levels.
