Point is, every one has personal life "experiences" with various subjects. You want pot made legalized, and OldFriend was cracking a joke. Not a joke, in my book. It happened. Lost numerous highschool chums in midst-party movement, around "suicide bend". And maybe they woulda still not made the "bend" high or not. But those Thai sticks back then, were mighty powerful. But maybe it was the opium burnt on an electric range and inhaled through a rolled up newspaper. Who knows.
Nonetheless, I think Buckley and Friedman are right - it is getting near time to unleash the Cracken.
With all the documentation surrounding the "pot is harmless" movement, it's time to stop forking out massive amounts of tax dollars to stop people from "doing what they are going to do regardless".
And yes, in the past, pot was neither legal nor illegal.
Remember those old rhubarbs from various "political identity movements"? cia unleashed CRACK on the black community in order to convict only "blacks"? Legalizing pot might just put a halt to those conspiracies.
Oops; Missed pinging you to post #58.
I would never suggest "there ought to be a law" based upon what I saw happening to others in high school as a kid. Laws are not something adults pass to spare children the sometimes painful effects of being human in an industrialized nation. You might as well pass a law against fog or cloudy days or traffic jams.
