the only reason it's detrimental to society is because of
Government installed prohibition
same as when alcohol was prohibited..... it created violence...

it should be as free as a fish in the sea or a bird in the air...
it has more health benefits than any other herb on the planet.

it's mind control NEBE - they want you on their medications!

politicians are paid to make it illegal so they can keep us all medicated
with friggan suicide drugs ..... they ALL suck

Even JESUS Christ used cannabis to cure people ....he endorsed it.

This site isn't a head shop so what makes for best paraphernalia isn't going on here.

Discussing legalization or not is one thing, recipes for something illegal is another. I'll let you clean it up though - thanks...

making paraphernalia is 100% legal in RI.... trust me

[Raven]

it's also discussing why this failed war on drugs
continues to go on and on and on

230 american cities are now involved in major operations

the war on drugs has FAILED miserably

and we americans are paying for this war... and it's insane!

It is interesting that no one ever mentions how buying marijuana is aiding in racketeering and vicariously particpating in the Mexicon drug wars. I know you'll think I am asking this because of my profession. But my interest is deeper.

Well put. I guess the war on drugs is failing because pot smoking is so damn important to a segment of the population, that being a criminal is justifiable.

===========================================

prefers the medical benefits of Cannabis over the pain medications
namely the nsaids drugs: being ibuprofen,MOTRIN , naproxin ,acetaminophen or
because it works better for pain and doesn't cause heart attacks
and or intestinal ulcers.

the Government is hypocritical in allowing medical facilities to provide cannabis on a state level and then go ahead in and bust the same outlet with federal DEA agents when they are the ones who made a simple god given herb "the gateway drug",
"the assassin of youth" , and lumped it in with drugs like heroin and cocaine which have no medical attributes what so ever by making it illegal in the first place .

The Government is the CRIMINAL here not the patient.

the patient is being forced by the usa government to buy their medication from the
growers....
most of which are in the southern swamp lands the same way moonshine was produced there when the alcohol prohibition
was happening....
and what did that do.... it created
the same level of violence that is happening now nation wide.

THE profitability of marijuana ONLY exists because the government made it illegal so it then became a black market item.

The Government is the criminal by forcing a patient to have to resort to obtaining their medication illegally instead of taxing it
and regulating it, ESPECIALLY when it's less harmful to society
than either tobacco and alcohol and that is unforgivable.

THEY
have been excepting bribes from the lobbyists for many decades.

the drug war is a complete FAILURE ->and OBAMA has no BALLS.

This is one of the biggest topics in the media concerning Mexico.

[Raven]

are going out of the USA

and draining the economy

legalize it and then grow it in the usa

with a tax on it and the revenue stays here.

You think Americans have become fat and lazy now? just wait and see what happens if pot is legalized I don't think it's a good idea, people need to get motivated and get working hard, not get stoned and lethargic. Medical use is one thing, but recreational use is completely different, it's a drug like alcohol is a drug.

Yes, because if Marijuana is legalized, we'll turn into a country of fat, lazy, unmotivated people - with the benefit of munchie sales going through the roof.

Similar to how everyone turned into an alcoholic that beats their wife, in the 1930's when Prohibition was overturned.

Aren't ignorant stereotypes and misconceptions fun?

[Rob Rockcrawler]

Damn, i shouldnt have turned up that job at frito-lay.

[buckman]

I know a lot of pot smokers. Not a one needs it as a medicine.

yep like all deadheads dropped acid and have no brain cells left.
I forgot to add paranoia.
Plenty of drunks to go around,(I don't know about the wife beating, but if you say so) I think there are studies where they add up all the costs from sicktime,loss of production etc. due to drinking or being hungover and it costs employers plenty, which in turn costs consumers.

I have stock in Doritos

There are studies. The problem is that they are financed by the same department of the government that funds drug prevention.

All of you who say pot should remain illegal and a criminal offense are the same folks who will go out and throw back a bunch of coldies...what's the difference? Some people would rather burn one than drink alcohol...I am astonished at how many people have their heads up there asses!

Raven, your picture makes me feel like I'm tripping on Acid, not high on pot.

it's the poppies ....

I just find it interesting that in liberal Massachusetts has banned smoking of cigarettes everywhere in public, except maybe your car, because smoking them no doubt causes cancer, but 65 % of the same people who wanted smoking cigarettes in public to be illegal also voted for decriminalizing marijuana. Liberal Massachusetts where the death penalty is always soundly defeated, but its selfish residents don't give a damn about all the people dying in the drug wars in Mexico making sure they have all the dope they need. Buy a lid, kill a kid, in ole Mexico . You can't have it both ways. So I guess to even things out people should be given a citation for smoking a cigarette as well, when caught, or maybe neither of the smokers should be punished. I am so confused.

O.K. so do you want to chat about the tarriffs that the Hell's Angels and other gorwers have to pay the various indian tribes that live along the Canadian to drive/walk across thier land to bring it into this country. Hells Angels are just a mens social group right.
