I would be a rumrunner and would be selling it to him at the after bar meeting in the speak easy.

If he was not addicted to alchohol he would have been addicted to something else. People like that need psycological help.

Does it matter that Jesus enjoyed cannibis oil, you don't think he used corn oil to heal the sick do you?

Tis a sad day when airhead is the only person in a thread that makes any sense.

Anybody who wants, you have an open invitation to visit this summer, and I'll show you exactly what the pot culture has created up here. Then decide if this is a "victimless crime" or not.

the victims are created by the law not the weed.  if anybody who wanted it could grow it in a garde in their yard all of these problems would go away.  these people who are causing all the problem would find themselves with no customers and have to get real jobs.

gofaster, if pot would have been legal maybe you father could have chosen it instead, for a non-addictive method to help him relax.  they could have burned a bowl at the bar association and he'd have had no need to turn to drink (which is highly addictive to certain people)

The prohibition on pot doesn't bother me one bit, either.  I suggest you educate yourself on the causes of addiction and common addictive elements.  I had my education thrust upon me.

My mom was an alcoholic. Its pretty naive to believe prohibition would have prevented your father from drinking. Just look at how well prohibition prevented people from getting booze in the '20s.

Airhead that's just kooky.  It's a freakin weed.  It grows just about anywhere.  If they legalized it, people could grow it easily in their backyard for free.  The "problems with cultivation" are a direct result of prohibition.

Airhead next time somebody blows his wifes brains out while being intoxicated by alcohol, think hard how taking that sip from your beer is not a victimless crime.

I'm sorry about his dad, but that's not relevant.  We shouldn't be ruled by the least common denominator.  Just because one person can't handle his liquor (or his weed or his firearms or his automobile), it doesn't mean we should all lose that right.  People, stop being sheep and start being Americans.

difference between pot and alcohol addictions.

When high on pot, pot head dad would make his son fetch him a pizza, and maybe some cheese sticks. While his daughter plays video games with him.
When drunk, alchy dad beats his son, and may or may not rape is daughter.

I wonder if you can walk a full mile along just about any stretch of "country" railroad track without finding hemp growing. All from the seeds that fell off the cars when the shipped hemp to make rope in WW2.

No cultivation at all... it's all volunteer. Going on 70 years now.

I know Funked, but prohibition didn't work - so saying "I'd be happy with prohibition because then my father wouldn't have been an alcoholic." Is like saying, "I'd be happy without motorvehicles because then my siezure prone uncle wouldn't have crashed and died."

Well if we are going to ban alcohol and marijuana, we should look at real health risks.  I'm sure bacon and hamburgers and velveeta claim more lives than alcohol.  Let's ban those too.
Also motorcycling is pretty dangerous.  We should prohibit that too.
For the children!!!
