Pot heads support terrorism.

[morfiend]

While it is true that certain terroist faction do manufactor drugs,to make such blanket statements are just an attempt to inflict fear in the populace.
  I have a Rx for medical weed,and my Dr. did mention that he would never recommend smoking anything,He did prescribe  5 grams per day.
 I only hope that you are never in need of Medical weed,ussually means your very sick.

 WetRat,ya hit the nail on the head,if the US didn't presure our Gov so much,it would have been decriminalized long ago.

 BTW a Canadian court just stated that it's unconstitional the way the laws are now,this was on the news on Friday.

Prostitution, Legal, Regulated, Taxed

[trax1]

Panzer can't actually believe what he's saying.  Trying to say they made it illegal to protect us is funny, if that was the case tabacco and alcohol wouldn't be legal, the 2 of those kill more people in this country then just about anything else.  Pot was first made illegal because it was a drug mostly used by mexican's and it was a way to arresst them.

Ah ok, figured if it was legal somewhere in the states that's where it would be.

Not trying to stir it up too much but does anyone see a slightly disturbing connection to the poster's handle and the statement? (mostly the part about obedience)
I should prob. finish reading the thread but I had to get that outta my head.
Btw. wasn't the original statement quoted actually lines from "Reefer Madness"?
If not, it's sure close in tone and tenor.
Oh and the concept of blind obedience to any nation or administration's agenda for that matter is patently un-American. Interesting paradox huh?

The nation's top anti-drug official said people need to overcome their "reefer blindness" and see that illicit marijuana gardens are a terrorist threat to the public's health and safety, as well as to the environment.

John P. Walters, President Bush's drug czar, said the people who plant and tend the gardens are terrorists who wouldn't hesitate to help other terrorists get into the country with the aim of causing mass casualties. Walters made the comments at a Thursday press conference that provided an update on the "Operation Alesia" marijuana-eradication effort.

"Don't buy drugs. They fund violence and terror," he said.

After touring gardens raided this week in Shasta County, Walters said the officers who are destroying the gardens are performing hard, dangerous work in rough terrain.

"These people are armed; they're dangerous," he said. He called them "violent criminal terrorists."

Walters, whose official title is director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, said too many people write off marijuana as harmless. "We have kind of a reefer blindness,' " he said.

"This business we intend to put into recession, depression and put its leaders into jail," Walters said.

1) good point......wonder if THEY sell any to terrorists? or buy it from them?
Even though they do more damage keeping oil (namely gas and diesel) artificially high, basicly killing small business and giant chunks of the rest of our economy.

I think the grey matter left between Bush's ears is nothing more than ashes from the pot he himself used to smoke back in his day.

2)nah...its muk from the bottom of lake heron

Until a test is done to confirm he actually has a brain, I think its safer for all of us to assume he doesnt.

1.)  are designed to protect us, our laws are, at least the sets made before the 1900s.

2.)I am sure the drugs that are illegal are illegal to protect us

 3.)Marijuana is more harmful than smoking a cigarette,

1.)  Have you read some of the laws passed before the 1900's?  LMAOROFL!!!!!!!!!!

2.)  Wrong, there are more legalized drugs being abused in the US than illegal.  More deaths from legalized drugs than illegal.  Take for instance, a valium, if taken like the doctor prescribed, a pot type of relaxation buzz occurs in the patient.  Yet, if you take too much valium, you die!  No fatal overdose of pot has ever been medically documented.  More people die each year from lightning strikes than pot........because noone has ever died from overdosing on pot.   You are completely uninformed about what you are talking about.  

3.)  Again, I would like to see the scientific studies on the how normal usage of pot is more harmful than the normal usage of ciggarettes.  

I might add, that being in and around the drug culture for years playing in bars and the likes, I have found that it's not the drugs that normally kill the person, it's the person themselves.  A lack of control, an obsessive addictive personality, and other mental problems usually accompany victims of drug deaths!  Many people who have used and still use pot as a recreational or medical additive to their lives, know how to manage themselves in a safe and healthy manner.  Many are very benificial to their communities and are very professional and successful with their careers.   I believe that some are suceptable to unhealthy lifestyles whether it be legal(ciggarettes and alcohol) or illegal(cocaine, heroin, hydrocodene.....notice I didnt include pot).  If a moron, thinks that doing more and more and more is going to help him feel better, then he might want to find out why he is feeling so miserable in the first place....ie see a mental health physician!

I for one, do not need a corrupt politician in Washington to tell me how to manage my lifestyle, I am fully capable of doing that myself!

Yup, the mexicans in and around LA were seen as a "problem" because of the incredible influx of "whites".   I believe it was the Mayor of LA at the time that contacted Hearst about joining with him to lobby for the illegalization.  This along with what AKAK said is the are reasons that pot was made illegal.  Simply put, a few super-rich folks wanted more money!!!
