Actually they use it in all ways, while the West from ancient times, has always been against it’s use until the movements started in the 1960s.

Reefer Madness turned out to be counter-productive.

Aspirin wouldn't be allowed today, because of the nanny state.

Aspirin, hell. Try orange juice.

That stuff can trigger a rage.

[ansel12]

Because with or without marijuana they would be the same way.

That is laughable, we have all seen pot heads change instantly,and we all know all about pot heads, we have all seen it many times since the 1960s.

News for you. People are smoking pot anyway, regardless of the legality. And they are smoking that pot around their children. Now. Regardless of the law.

Reefer Madness turned out to be counter-productive.

How? None of us had ever heard of it until almost a quarter century later, when the stoners started watching it and using it, such as in these threads.

Second hand tobacco smoke will start infants and children (and other adults) on the road to cancers and other health problems.

Second-hand tobacco smoke cured my younger sister of asthma at the age of 3 weeks.

She had an asthma attack at 2 weeks and my folks took her to the family physician.

He advised my father to blow tobacco clouds at her from a few feet away.

That was her first and only asthma attack. She is now 56 years old and doing better than most of the naysayers.

As cannabis is widely legalised, China cashes in on an unprecedented boom.

[elkfersupper]

should we just send them a thank you note with a nice fruit basket?

I'm voting for that.

Legalizing pot will not end the police state but it may shrink it’s scope. My hope is that when all the chicken little predictions of pot addled zombies roaming the streets fail to materialize people will start to wonder why we ever let police seize (and auction off) property without a conviction or kick in doors in the middle of the night to keep people from smoking it.

[ansel12]

Legal pot is not the cure for a police state, to claim it is to sound pot addled.

You're right. Eventually, they will get around to mashed potatoes, if they haven't already.

It, and the over-the-top propaganda that went along with made people dismiss any discussion about the harmful effects as just more of the same. People don't like being lied to.

[ansel12]

You are the one using it as propaganda, as the left has since they started using it in the 1970s.

It was something made by a church group in the mid 1930s and is used as propaganda by the left since they discovered it in the 1970s.

You are using it right now in 2014, the left has many techniques like this, it is one reason Bill Maher and his type are so effective.

Yep, a generation of doped-up wastrels. Pretty much already have that, though. One of the reasons America has devolved into such morally bankrupt cesspool. What an embarrassingly pathetic legacy for this generation... dope legalization and homo-marriage. America, at this point, isn’t even worth ‘trying’ to salvage.

Dennis Rodman is not only a great American... but he is 100% correct that North Korea is a much better place than the racist United States!

This photo... of studious North Korean students shows why... they are light years ahead of us in education.

As opposed to... this picture of decadent... Bender lead Colorado college students who find beer, wine, hard liquor, smoking pot and making out a better alternative to studying!

Yes, to keep my sense of decorum... I have cropped the above photo of Bender's evil influence on innocent Colorado college students. The full picture is HERE if you must see it in all its horror!

Face it, you right-wing gun nuts hate it when Dennis Rodman and I... are right--

Well then it is a good thing I made no such claim but rather indicated it was a step in the right direction. I find straw men are often employed by those unable to attack my actual ideas.
