because there isn't any good reason. as i stated before, cannabis was made illegal as a result of shady yellow journalism, racism, and corporate greed.

it is ironic, don't you think that the very same plant saved young George Bush's life when he bailed out of that airplane during WWII? the parachute that he deployed, as well as the entire rigging was made from fabric and canvas that were made from the cannabis plant. in fact, during WWII, the government temprarily rescinded the ban of cannabis because hemp was so vital in the war effort...

does anyone here know exactly why the War of 1812 was fought?

You mean the theory that crude oil is a by-product of the earth's core and that explains why the oil fields are refilling themselves. I dont know if that will workout to be true, but anyone who believes everything thing the mainstream media tells them is living in a fantasy world.

Any argument that hemp is bad and should still be under prohibition is just arguing for Dupont and Philip Morris who got rid of a competitor with backhanded lobbying and a smear campaign that to this day has the American people duped. No other organic matriel has gone through as much testing as the hemp plant, and what they have come up with that is basically a clean bill of health.

If you live by their rules your whole life, then who's life have you really lead?

it's positive attributes are undeniable.

that's not what i said, but completely in line with your character.


did you mean "in?" BTW, isn't going on about people wearing tin foil hats essentially making a personal insult? which are you- the pot or the kettle?


don't know about "is." definitely was.


'the man' doesn't care. the man is sponsored by huge corporations, and this government is not of the people any more, but of the giant corporation.


nope. never said that.


not neccesarily. merely bringing up points to ensure that you know WHY this plant is illegal. actually, i don't think that brainwashed is a term that i ever used. if i was to use a word, it would be more akin to "hoodwinked." go get your dictionary.


when the man continues to force me to use non-biodegradeable synthetic materials, when the same products can be made naturally, and from a biodegradeable source, and when the man forces me to overpay at the pump for a fossil fuel, instead of for a fuel that may be produced more cheaply and efficiently and which is infinitely renewable, and which does NOT produce the same greenhouse gas emmisions as the fossil fuel, and when the motivations for those descisions is based on big money influences, and personal political power, then hell yes, Damn the Man.

i slept like a baby.


ditto.

the funny thing is, I DON'T SMOKE POT.

i realize that i sound like the dirtest hippy alive right now, and that the opinions that i have expressed are largely viewed as extremely liberal, but let me pose a question: which is a more conservative long term view, the one which continues to rely on fossil fuels and synthetic materials, which will cause more conflict and harm, and which WILL eventually RUN OUT, causing untold hardship; or the one which would rely on a renewable natural scource of energy, and which would allow the environment to heal itsself, and which could end such stupid conflicts such as the one happening in Iraq right now?

That last paragraph could get this thread headed to the political forum.

For the Mods' sakes, please don't respond to the last paragraph in the same post you use to respond to the rest of lv's post.

I think that last paragraph just shows how "All over the place" lv has been in this thread.

He took the phrase "Character weakness" and went off on some rambling rant that went off of the deep end.

I would have no problem with you having to spilt this yet again although I know you shouldn't have to.

I've always thought that if marijuana were legal, it would be less of a "gateway drug", since it could be acquired without contacting someone who deals in other illegal drugs. In the same way that millions now acquire alcohol and don't use any illegal substances, partly because there's no dealer trying to advance them to more addictive and more costly substances.

Conversely, I believe that if alcohol were illegal, it would become more of a "gateway" to other illegal substances than it is now.
