I’d be happy if the states sent these Federal numb skulls packing.

YES!!! Thank you. That is exactly what we hope to do soon here in Washington state.

The concept of unending massive profits for the bad guys and corrupt controlling governments benefiting off it in numerous ways, seems to escape the poster.

Hiding in plain sight, comes to mind.

A compound found in marijuana** may **be the key to stopping cancer growth.

Mood altering is an older phenomenon than humanity itself.

Gee gosh I wonder if the people who never used chemically altering products know about that?.

Excuses comes in many forms.weed is for the weak who can’t face the day and have no life to speak of.

“Gee gosh I wonder if the people who never used chemically altering products know about that? Excuses comes in many forms.”

It’s a scientific fact that maybe you didn’t know until now. Facts don’t care whether you used or never used any chemicals. Living things that discover chemicals which make them feel better are likely to keep using those chemicals and sometimes will do anything just to get them. This is why addicts are willing to pay more for drugs than gold and someone poor will ALWAYS be willing to grow that gold on trees. They take a big risk to become rich even if there is a chance of getting the death penalty.

Our perception of reality, mood, everything IS all because of chemicals. Chemicals within us and nearly identical chemicals that we can take from nature. Humans and other animals have taken advantage of this phenomenon since they first walked the earth.

Is that logic still too complicated for you?



“Weed is for the weak who can’t face the day and have no life to speak of.”

Incredible ignorance or purposeful disinformation. True addiction is ALWAYS a result of an underlying psychiatric condition or trauma. I know several psychiatrists and people who rehabilitate addicts. Are you really calling these sick people weak?

To add insult to injury, “weed” is actually one of the most symbiotic plants in nature to mammals. Cannabis continains hundreds of cannabinoids and each breed of cannabis contains slightly different ones. Our bodies normally contain countless similar chemicals called “endocannabinoids” that regulate everything from pain to hunger to neural function to sleep.

There is far more symbiotic variety in cannabis and it has more medical potential than opium. In 1937, the year cannabis was banned, there were over 30 patents issued for cannabis-based medications by companies like Bayer and Merck. It is CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY to continue banning the open and free research of this plant. Countless sick people could have been more effectively treated if we were doing the research. Cannabis is 100% non-toxic and 100% non-addictive. There has never been a single case of damage from use nor from withdrawal.

Now about “having a life”. You would be surprised how many extremely successful people with “lives” smoke pot very often. They know it’s even less damaging than having a cigarette, beer or scotch. In fact, the most creative and successful are usually more tolerant of it. In my graduating class, 9 of the top 10 boys smoked pot every day and they are all millionaires now. If you don’t know any successful people that are close enough to you to admit they smoke, maybe YOU are the one who has “no life to speak of”.

“YES no question about it.”

Yes, and I'm sure you believe everyone’s brain is identical and perfect and disease free for their entire life nomatter what trauma they experience.

That's ludicrous ignorance.

I gave you several pages of “just argument” and all you respond with is calling everyone that doesn't agree with the WOD a doper and everyone that is mentally ill “weak”.

Give me a single real fact to work with. I've been begging for years for someone to prove our government is not corrupt on this issue.

maybe this works better for you since you apparently don't want to do your own search

Marijuana Fights Cancer and Helps Manage Side Effects, Researchers Find Sep 6, 2012 4:45 AM EDT Mounting evidence shows ‘cannabinoids’ in marijuana slow cancer growth, inhibit formation of new blood cells that feed a tumor, and help manage pain, fatigue, nausea, and other side effects.

I can’t think of one logical reason why one would use anything mind altering.

When you're the only one around who doesn't recognize the problem, you probably ARE the problem.
