Angry America's real drug problem

are the prescription drugs...

the abuse has risen 700%

and yet the Doctor's keep prescribing
all this crap that makes people commit suicide
or they die from an over dose...
especially when combined with BOOZE

and that stuff is all legal

ridiculous as hell

im all for it.. booze (especially to much) is bad news..you end up in fights, doing dumb s#$%^, and regretting things the day after. with smoke you just chill out, relax, and enjoy what you are into doing.

the price of govt regulation, policing, prisons. all could be spent on better more important issues. i agree its not a gateway to harder drugs. never was for me at least.. cigs and booze was 1st things i did when i was young, still smokin cigs and got alot of incidents w/ alcohol i wish never happend. weed on the other hand..cant say its personally hurt me really. well wait there was that one time with the police....



oh yeah my uncle just scored a license to smoke..(100% disabled) i gotta say i am f$%^&*$ jealous. hopefully w/ people starting to have licenses to smoke it will work (hopefully) and help other people (polititans) realize its not that bad.

I definately say make it legal.The problem is that it can be
very dangerous if the quality is too high (pun intended) for
someone who doesn't smoke often.There is stuff out there
that will knock even the most experienced on thier arse

I had one the other night. She wouldn't give him money from the food funds to go buy a bag so he beat her. Don't tell me guys and gals don't get cranky while high.

Dave's not here Man...
I remember when i was a kid..I thought Our Country would be so cool cause it would be my generation there to run it...
What the Hell happened..The dweeb I usta shoot spitballs at in the 5th grade is running the country..
They could pack it like cigarettes,sell it in liquor stores an tax the hell out of it.When U remove the money spent on all forms of enforcement and add the new revenue.I you would be talking about some large figures..
Here's what it comes down to..
Pot Smokers don't vote..
Right wing southern belt religious fanatics vote.How the hell else do u get George Bush for 2 tours..
Pipe Dreams..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

you have the best replies to most threads out here!

I say legalize it, its not worse that booze. I cant say it has no downside, I have seen a lot of friends waste there lives away in front of the tube doing bong hits all day. But I guess I have seen worse with alcohol.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all

Zero evidence that pot is dangerous, no matter the strain.

But I suppose if falling over passed out is dangerous, then you're right.

actually inhaling smoke (of any kind) which is a form of dust and not much different then real fine sawdust, can clog the lungs.... which is an obvious conclusion... and no offense meant

but on the other hand the new method of zero smoke vaporizer's
solves that problem....not that i have ever tried one...

what most people don't realize however is that the compound in cannabis called "canabinoids" is also produced by the human body
for the purpose of pain relief, which is sorta why it's as harmless
as it is physically.

hemp..... alone could solve the ENERGY crisis....

it isn't even the variety of Cannabis Sativa that produces
cannabinol in sufficient amounts to obtain a "high"

even though it was reported that in the old days
Sailors were known to burn ends of the rope.

the quality of the OIL contained within the seed
however is perfect for making biofuel or a diesel
substitute and AMERICAN farmers would have a crop
to grow "to achieve energy independence overnight"

but the politicians can't seem to pull their collective
heads out of the sand or their ASS to see that.

not to mention that hemp fiber could completely
transform the clothing industry and has countless other
material applications...

BIG oil doesn't want hemp to be re-instated as a
viable resource.....because where as corn can supplement
their petroleum products...in the form of ethanol

the legalization of hemp
could essentially put them out of business.

keep on makin 1500 bucks per second you bastards

Hemp has nothing to do with marijuana.
