Thread is already hijacked. I am going to say this once and only once.
The reason pot is illegal is because of the oil companies.
Hemp byproducts can easily replace most oil byproducts, and if you don't think byproducts are important, think of salt. While 80% of a salt company's product might be table salt, it only provides a small fraction of their income.
You think oil you think gasoline, think again. Look at your monitor, see the plastic cabinet ? Oil. Look at the dashboard of your car, your TV, MP3 player, everything. Petroleum is essential for the manufacture of plastic.
Hemp can replace most of that, not that you could smoke your computer mouse anymore than you could drop it in your gas tank and expect the car to run on it.
If people really knew the rate at which big money is squandering the resources of this planet they would be as outraged as I am. Everything is a finished product, and people, especially Americans have no idea where they came from. There is a great site out there called howstuffworks.com, I think they should make one "wherstuffcomesfrom.com".
Actually drugs are the main reason people are in jail in any country, of course there is the element of stupidity on the user. How the hell can you get busted smoking a joint in your own house ? But no, we gotta go do this outside, we are rebels, the strong, the brave, the stooopid.
It took me until I was 47 to get busted for drugs, and it was one joint. I came close about 25 years ago, I was busted for something else, 10 minutes after delivering 100 hits of LSD. Whew.
I really don't know why people can't just keep it cool and not get popped for things. Discretion seems to be in very short supply anymore. You don't go out on the corner yelling "Domes dimes, anybody need a dime ?". You don't have a crack party in the front yard. And when you do get high you do not go driving around.
This reminds me of Chris Rock, "How not to get your ass kicked by the police". It is so simple. Years ago when I was into the shit, we never got busted. I applaud the invention of the front door for that, you go inside. We had acid, pharecuetical PCP (very hard to get) and basically would cop a pound of weed and dump it out on the pool table (if nobody was playing pool at the time).
We had fights, rumbles and orgies. The difference between us and the people in jail was that we used our brain. Regular normal people do not want to see that shit and they do not want to see it happening in front of their kids. If you respect that you have very little chance of getting busted.
And Iranians ? You would think the strict upbringing would keep them from ever doing drugs in the first place, yet not only do they do it, they are stupid enough to get busted for it.
Let me tell you all one thing; there is a hell of alot more illegal activity going on EVERYWHERE than you could ever imagine. You could live next to a meth lab for 20 years and never know it until someone opens their fucking mouth. I know one guy who retired from dealing pot, I mean dealing NATIONALLY, pounds and shit. He retired at age 70. Never got busted, why ? How many guesses do you want ? He had a fucking brain.
Just so you know, my ilk and I do whatever we want. We do not steal nor hurt people, but it is not the law that stops us. We stop us. If you ever get to know us, you will see. Others may see us as criminals, but we help people when we can and generally try to be a positive influence in the world. The fact that we "go upstairs and burn one" does not change that.
There are many innocent people in jail, of that there is no doubt. Even though I am on the outs with the guy, I know someone doing 15 years for selling a half ounce of pot. I don't care that I was pissed off at him, it is still wrong. Anybody in jail for dealing drugs is innocent. They have the product, you give them the money, they give you the product. What is wrong with that ? Would you rather they put a knife to your throat and take your money ? This is not what they do.
Cite drugland killings, but wait, what if someone robs your local Walgreen's ? Let's talk about all the legal drugs, and how the TV would have drug commercials followed by a public service message urging kids to just say no. Fuck it all I say.
Just look at all the drug commercials, whatever is wrong with you this new pill might be the "cure", ask your doctor. The contradiction is appalling, and kids know logic. Do our drugs, don't do their drugs. Of course they figure it out, and that is why we have drug abuse. With statistics mounting, more and more people are dying from legal drugs than pot at least, but I will no go so far as to say more people are than from all illegal drugs. When you start talking ecstacy and shit, I don't know what to tell you.
Pot is a natural substance, many people do not understand it and simply accept the villification placed on it by the powers that be. I am dismayed when the American public does this. To blindly accept what they say is plain wrong.
Like the fight over medicinal marijuana, there should be no fight at all. They do not have the right to tell us what we can put into our own bodies. I cite prohibition as proof.
Yes. Before Admiralty Maritime juridiction they could not pass a law inhibiting Citizens' personal freedom. That is why it was a Constitutuional amendment, and I have great consternation over the fact that it passed at all. It was plain ass wrong.
Also though, there is the other side of the coin, and I try to see all sides. There used to be cocaine in CocaCola. This was wrong. If they sold the coke in packets that would be fine in my eyes, but they put it into the beverage. For what reason ? MONEY. Get people hooked. Shit, people gave this shit to their kids !
Ever hear of paragoric ? Look it up and see what was in it. It is highly illegal now, and maybe it should be, no, actually people should be responsible enough to not use it, or at least not overuse it.
And that is what it boils down to in the end. Responsible adults do not even smoke cigarettes in the presence of children, let alone give them heroin or morphine and shit like that. I mean ritalin too. That is one of the worst fucking things they ever came out with. Perhaps my morality goes against the grain or perhaps it is superior, but to give a child an SSRI is a crime. To give a child any mind altering substance is a crime. They need to work the problems out without a crutch, without just zoning out.
OK, we got ADD or ADHD. Let me clue you in on something. We are all born with ADD or ADHD or whatever name is fashionable this year. It is through learning and maturing that we beat the condition. If we are drugged we will never learn.
But I guess that is OK as long as the suits at Pfizer can make the payments on their Rolls.
Perhaps you see that I cast a jaundoced eye on almost everything "they" do, but the fact remains, drugs are for adults. Children need to learn to work out their problems, and if we drug them with pills or whatever, how the fuck can we tell them not to use drugs ?
That is my opinion on the subject. Take it or leave it.
