Well shiat, now it will NEVER get legalized nationally. Big Booze will fight this tooth and nail now because it will cut into their profits.

You are certainly *not* a cretin, bob. I think you are observing one of the greatest threats to the decriminalization of weed.

I just finished reading a pamphlet the state something to prevent teen substance abuse puts out for my work, and they had something like a three page spread full of inaccuracies about marijuana.
I really hope that it gets legalized and that people start getting some facts instead of a bunch of nonsense put together to scare them into thinking their kids will lose their minds and become sex-crazed. Sometimes I think that there are still people who take
Reefer Madness
seriously.

I think for 2012, whenever some tard repeats the drug war bullshiat I am just going to scream at them as loud as I can "YOU ARE A farkING IDIOT!"
no matter what they say
anyone who still thinks drugs are bad and the war on drugs is a good idea, is a complete idiot, or lying in order to profit from the war.

Actually, a group of us was talking about Califonia's medical Marijuana places: Common complaint, the stuff is FAR too strong.
Another thing I want to point out is this: Smoking MJ is worse cancer wise than regular smoking.
That's why I use a bong.

What makes you think they haven't been doing that for numerous years, already? Alcohol breweries/distilleries, big pharmaceutical companies, for profit privatized prison systems and the politicians they own have been against legalizing marijuana for too many years to count. There is just too much money to be made by keeping it illegal.
It only took people 13 years to figure out alcohol prohibition wasn't working. We're starting the 75th year of marijuana prohibition. Anti-drug enforcement agencies, big corporations and politicians know exactly what they're doing and where the big money is.

The biggest enemies of legalized weed are the stoners themselves.
1. Bob Marley sucks.
2. Pachuli is crap.
3. Funyun ain't food.
Clean up your act, wear a suit and get a job. Then simply elect someone who's pro weed because you're now a pillar of the comunity, not a gormless hippy wanabe.
Also Ultimate Frisbee is awful. Just buy a football please.

yup too strong is really a problem. I smoke 5 bowls like a used to back when I was 15 and now I pass out for 20 hours.
There is no way that I will smoke less, so they better make weaker pot or I will have to quit or something.
and for all the tards who think pot is worse cancer than cigs?
REALLY????????????????????????
you smoke 2 packs a day / 365 days a year?

The biggest problem is that pot smokers get high and then forget to pick up beer, its why you always have that late straggler friend pick up beer on the way over because everyone else forgot.

I couldn't agree more. Has anyone seen that show "Weed Wars" on Discovery? You have the guy with the weird hat and pig tails eating a Pot cookie while driving to a court hearing about paying extra taxes, another guy in the office there wears a dress everyday and the accountant looks like he's stoned 24/7. Then they show one of the workers going home and rolling a huge joint and getting ripped. All that was in the one episode I saw. I'm not sure if they are that stupid or if it was editing from the discovery channel, but man they are so not helping convert any anti-pot people with this show.

The only way it's going to work is if tobacco companies lose a lot of money because people stop smoking. Then the government MIGHT give them marijuana to make up for their lower profits and generated tax income.

I am appalled at the lack of actual knowledge by you farkers. You do know there are different strains, and those different strains affect you in different ways, right?
Go check out a site called leafly.com(I'd link but I'm on mobile). They have ratings for most strains and a list of their effects. Not one causes reefer madness or out of control munchies or the "Spicoli Effect".

I know many people whose job involves wearing suits that smoke MJ, yet they shower and brush their teeth before putting on the suit to go to work. After their morning bowl. Others have technical jobs that telecommute, so they can stay in proper working form all day.

So more alcohol leads to less money for organized crime, more tobacco and weed leads to fewer accidents, and more firearms leads to a drop in violence.
Its almost as if the BATF was the antithesis of crime prevention from the very beginning.
