Judging from your grammatical skills, you have no right to judge the intelligence of other people. No intelligent person would post as you have.
GFY and GTFU.
Coming from HOLOGRAM--that's some funny stuff there. GFY


Well, I just really despise stupid people.
Shouldn't it be "GTFO" instead of "GTFU"? I'm just asking.
Hahaha, yeah it should. That's my bad.

A sober person, not ever having done drugs, can't ever come to the conclusion that 'marijuana is a halucinogen and effects one's ability to drive' without any real authority. Driving stoned is in no way comparable to driving drunk (ive done both, - ashamedly driven drunk maybe 2 or 3 times, and it was dodgy - Driven stoned so often I couldn't count and haven't been close to crashing - its fine if you can handle it)
BTW @ Dagip - Stoned and playing guitar now - good times! Quit that lame job that drug tests. How is that even legal? I'm not sure if it is here, only heard of drug testing when starting a job, but no random checks afterwards

I think you missed the point....
Anyway, I would like it to be legalised, I much prefer it to tobacco, and it doesn't f*ck me up as much as alcohol. It doesn't make sense for it to be illegal while alcohol is legal.

I really don't know how drug testing even fits in with the Constitution. Isn't it an infringement on a citizen's right to privacy? That's how I always have seen it. I remember once getting a job as a gas station attendant, and they wanted me to take a drug test for that. Now who drug tests gas station attendants? They would never ever have anyone working for them!
I don't know why, but guitar feels so awesome when I am stoned...
The stats on the number of people dying from Heroin vs Tobacco per year is 10,000 vs 450,000...do the math! I don't know what the number is for deaths from Marijuana smoking? Probably close to zero!
I bet this guy smokes or used to smoke weed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02bPPB_0zDwIf you don't have video, then I will transcribe it for you, it is Henry Rollins making his
Freedom Is Under Attack speech:
FREEDOM is under attack!
(It's) under attack by hysterical and well-funded Christian psychotics. Intellectually under-nourished leaders, who lie and manipulate information. (They are) overfed, Baby Huey, coward-bitch-motherfuckers like Karl Rove and their suck up weakling apologists, like Sean Hannity.
To question authority is to be somehow unpatriotic, unamerican, and in league with terrorists worldwide? FUCK YOU!
With even election results becoming more and more questionable--the Constitution, a thing to be manipulated, ignored, and frivolously amended--even democracy itself seems to be on the run.
So where is the ONE place you can go and tell your version of the truth? Rail against liars, fakes, and propagandists with your own unique propaganda (and) sign your name to it and let the whole world know how you feel?...That's right--the Internet.
(It is) perhaps responsible for the most substantial shifts in culture in the last several decades. There is so much freedom and potential on the worldwide web, that one is barely able to get one's head around it.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD DARE to regulate or charge websites to be on the Internet? Who would dare to rain on a parade so fantastic, that many of us would not know what to do without our high speed connection and our lives on the Internet.
Actually, some very powerful forces. Teleco-companies want to make you pay for your site to be carried on the Internet. If you can't afford to pay, guess what? That's right, you're cyber-history, pal! The Bush administration wants major Internet and phone companies to keep track of where their customers serve. All in the name on the war on terror, don't you know?
How much do you want to bet (that) they want the Internet regulated, contained, and thrown into a cell at Guantanamo Bay. For a country that talks so much about freedom being on the march, it seems to me that some people want anything but.
If they come for your Freedom, you must not only resist (but you) must strike back with a vengeance that will stun them. On this front if your anger and outrage are not at the forefront, then you are already DEAD! Dead to me, anyway.
FUCK these cowards!
...these traitors!
...these ENEMIES of democracy!

That's not a good argument, now I want tobacco to be illegal too.

JK?
I don't think anyone in the history of the world has died from Marijuana. All the great things that it can do for your body(prevent breast cancer from spreading too?!?! WOWEE) I'm pretty sure that MJ only makes you stronger.
Is there anything this wonder drug can't do when taken responsably? No.

4 Years ago I met a farmer in Morocco who sold me 150 grammes of his harvest.
A part of the purchase order was the demand that the merchandise be broken up into 5 grammed bullets.
Another was that the 30 OVAL shaped farm produced items, be wrapped in several layers of cling-film and Beeswax. (Obviously for transportation issue's).
After I swallowed the 30 Nuggets(a lengthly gagging process involving a lot of water>?>?>)
Via the port of Tangiers-Gibraltar-London-Brixton I journeyed home
I sat on my toilet awaiting my golden eggs....
I waited,,, I waited and I waited.
Two days passed,,,, and I had past nothing,,, Lacking the money for food as my monetary investment had been already spent, I agreed to a Job working with Bo Diddley.
Half way through the concert I had to run to the WC and I spent 10minutes shitting out Cling-film, Clingfilm, Clingfilm, and nothing else at all.
I made it back to the audience to see the last 30 minutes of Bo Diddely squat stoned out of my fuckin goard on 150 grammes of Morrocan finest.
My question to you,, as it has been to many others,, Should I not have over-dosed??

Wasn't it smoking in bars and public buildings that was banned? Except in designated, separate areas. Something like that I think.

yeah... while I've heard the "is weed better/worse than tobacco/alcohol" debated over and over again, it's hard to contest that if you arranged drugs into "tiers", weed is a lot more comparable (in health risk) to those two legal drugs than to most other illegal drugs.

This all comes from someone who believes the 21 drinking law is stupid and finds it equally stupid that people can buy cannons out of the mail-order Dixie Gun Catalogue at any age with a credit card, but a handgun can't be bought any earlier than 21 (a good shooter can wax maybe 7-8 people on one clip.

The War on Drugs has put us into a predicament. At first glance, the Drug War seemed like a good thing, it was meant to be positive. Simple enough, right? You just make drugs illegal and you enforce it as a deterrent.
But what a slippery slope you climb when government intercedes as
the moral authority on our lives. For the government (an entity whose only purpose was to protect our Constitutional rights as Americans and provide us with an army for protection) to become a moral-surrogate is only doomed to failure. Before the Drug War, sure there were
some stoners, sure there were
some coke heads. There will always be addicts, but that is not the place of the government to stick its nose, that is a personal/mental issue, one of which can be handled by a strong community. The community may have supported certain associations or religious institutions before the government got involved, now the Drug War has become a business.
The People's right to property become a mute point, as property was seized by the government and turned into cash to fund itself. The forbiddance of at first Marijuana and then Cocaine, had only lead people to seek other alternatives. To say that you are for one drug being legal and another being illegal is a total double standard. If one drug is bad then how can the others be good? The best thing to do is to let it all be legal, tax it, and enforce societal laws revolving around its use.
Sure Meth is bad, but it wouldn't have such a pull on our society if we didn't have a War on Drugs. For example, when I lived in Arizona, everybody did coke, but very few did Meth. The coke-heads despised the tweekers. But when the government came down hard on the illegal drug trade on the Mexican border and shut down around 30% of the cocaine traffic into America, the Mexican Mafia switched over to making Meth and selling it. The once proud Coke-Heads now found themselves switching their addiction from cocaine to a much more powerful methamphetamine. The buzz was so much bigger and lasted so much longer. You got a bigger ride for your buck. So now Meth is king and coke is just something you mix with Jack Daniels (if you like such things).
The Drug War made small minority gangs large and powerful. If you take the Drug War away, these gangs will disintegrate. Prohibition was found to be a negative thing on society, as Americans found out. The Amendment was repealed and the alcohol lords lost all their power over society, the same would be expected with the gangs in power today.
I think the damage and corruption that has been done by this stint of the War on Drugs is beyond repair. The best thing to do is establish a New Nation as patching up this one only leads to further fissures in our society. The old "new wine into new wine skins" adage is at play here, and I just don't see any hope for the United States on this front.
