nice everyone

but what about this: i can almost envision some day when the
gov't realizes the cash that could be made off of legalizing
weed, and works with say a marlboro-like company to produce
it in a controlled manner and profit just like the $ made
from cigs and alcohol

when you think about the prohibition in this country when
alcohol was illegal; i guess anything's possible when
money's at the source

"gov't realizes the cash that could be made off of
legalizing
weed"

the gov't makes a lot of money off the illegalization of
weed.

Of course, everyone has a personal choice of what they don't
want to take/drink/smoke, and what they do.

It's nice to see people aren't arguing about it because
that's the point when people stop listening.

But i find the term "anti-drugs" very confusing, this term
is meaningless.
You need to be more specific about what you mean.
You can't group all drugs (including tea, coffee, alcohol,
aspirin, chocolate etc) together and still make a valid
point.
The term DRUGS is outdated and misleading.
All substances are different, some have much stronger or
long lasting effects than others. Some are very addictive,
some not at all.
So be anti- whatever you like, but be specific, or your
argument is meaningless.

By the way, it's interesting that all the people who are
"anti-drugs" appear to have never tried them, whereas those
who have tried them are quite happy to let others make up
thier minds.

Oh, and the recent proposed relaxations in the law in the UK
for cannabis were actually the result of pressure from the
police force who are fed up with wasting time booking people
for small personal use when they could be catching someone
who really is a threat to society.

Sorry for rambling...

the only reason cannabis was outlawed in america was because
the popularity of hemp as a cheap and effective alternative
to woodpulp was having a disastrous effect on the massive
rockefeller forests - so they started using their own media
to demonise the weed and got it banned...

...anyone who can seriously say that alcohol is ok whilst
hashish isn't needs to re-evaluate their thought
processes... alcohol causes a nation to become macho
chauvanist pigs - look at all these british bitches who
drink heaps - they have lost their sensuality and
femininity, and sleeping around don't make 'em either...
there is a serious inbalance...

I can't believe this thread is still on the first page of
topics...

The pic is still sweet though.
