CANNABIS --- everyones favorite plant (unless you want to rule the world)

[bravo]

isnt it crazy that this !!++ is illegal.
quick facts about hemp

can be traced back all the way to 6000 bc

all parts of the plant can be used.  stems for textiles, buds for meds, seeds for oil and food.

very profitable crop

it wasnt illegal until the US started runnning game 

tobacco company's were scared of losing business due to hemps technological advances in the 1920s (US prospered off the tobacco)

govt creates the federal bureau of narcotics to take down the hemp plant

fbn funds its own research that it later uses as evidence.  (propaganda at its finest)  

people were familiar with the term hemp, govt decides that calling it marijuana will be more effective to brainwash people.

fbn's cheif harry anslinger testifies in supreme court calling marijuana "the worst evil of all"

cliffs:

6000 BC hemp was good

5000 BC hemp was good

4000 BC hemp was good

3000 BC hemp was good

2000 BC hemp was good

1000 BC hemp was good

0  hemp was good      

1000 AD hemp was good

1930 United States runs game-- marijuana is now bad

Present- marijuana is bad

Cannabis really is a miracle plant.

I hardly smoke nowadays but the legalization of hemp in the US would be of tremendous benefit to everyone.

Its one of the oldest, strongest, most versatile and useful fabrics on the planet.

Things are changing at an incredible rate. Record-High 50% of Americans Favor Legalizing Marijuana Use. Amazing really. From '78 to '02, there's only a change of 6% in public opinion. We've experienced the same amount of change in the past 2 years.

Amazing change. I look forward to seeing the number jump again this time next year. And as long as "these threads" keep popping up and people continue to discuss it, the drug war can't last.

Weed messed me up. I think I was too young to be smokin that dank errday (16-17). I was cool for those 2 years but then after I took some E and smoked one time, I was never the same. I haven't smoked in a year now and I'm just now getting back to how I was. Unfortunately, the side effects of such a severe anxiety attack cause post traumatic stress and it's no fun. Dat potency doe, and maybe that dirty E. Don't trust any dealers no mas hahaha

The combo messed you up most likely. That's where you messed up.

not your favorite plant when you got two boys in your room trying to get you to talk. 

it was almost over for me.

ganja is amazing . i am currently not smoking, but for people to deny the medicinal value is complete BS. its true people abuse substances and buds can be no different some poeple let it control there life. but i personally can say that ganja helped me with PTSD . i was in a moto accident, and was having bad flashback after using ganja, i no longer have any problems with the ptsd. and also its pain relieving attriubutes helped me stay off narcotics after my surgery. i didnt want to fall into the pill game and just toked and stayed far away from the legal, but deadly prescription drugs. the govt is really screwing us. in the end take care of yourself dont listen to someone who says they know what is right. we have brains we can make decisions ourselves. The fact that alcohol and tobacco are legal and marijuanita is not is very sad. if obama gets reelected he needs to stop this bs and implement many laws that cannot be turned over making cannabis legal being one of them.

Ganjah es para el cuerpo ambos lo sabemos!!!!

I don't think MJ smokers really want it to be legal. (You just don't know it yet.)
So many rules and regulations will be put in place, this is America remember?

They won't let the purists profit, the big wigs of tobacco will take over an guess what? Bring on the killer filler ingredients. Ammonia and the like, similar to whats cigarettes are now.
Soon the stuff you people smoke now will be considered organic haha. That's how much extra crap name brand MJ will have in it.

If you ask me they are the true pros at stretching product, difference is they use hurtful materials to stretch it.

My possession charges are the only thing holding me back from a clearance

Weed is the only thing holding so many people from getting decent jobs....and no I'm not talking about ppl who sit in there basement all day and do nothing

If the gov't could just find a way to decriminalize it I would be a happy man

I'm talking about responsible adults like myself and a few of my friends that are labeled as criminals for simple possession charges

son who would buy inorganic trees when you can grow your own?

its not like youre trying to grow a newport.

 

[PRIME]

@ dude who blamed weed for messing him up, then proceeds to explain how he took some E.

My dude, NEVER mix E pills with ANYTHING. You smoked yourself a Jeffrey.

Not everyone wants it legal so they can light a few. Some see it as a business opportunity, I just have a feeling the law, what ever it may be, whenever it is passed, won't make it easy for
some modest start-up.

get your medical card, I did

 

[solegit08til]

I'm not BLAMING her, I'm just saying I can't handle her right now. I know it was the dirty e but every time I tried to smoke after that I got the same anxiety attacks that happened while I was on E. I still support legalization and hope to be able to partake in 5-10 years.

EDIT: Okay I take back saying she messed me up, I misused her to get away from my problems. Going cold turkey after going ham for 2 years does a number on your psyche when you've had to deal with the things I've had to. I used weed to bury all those feelings and emotions. Cancers, financial woes, and almost losing my education.

damnn bro im glad you made it up out of that stage... stress is never a good thing, and pushing it to the side is unhealthy (rather than accepting it for what it is).

good for you for surviving your struggles, i wish you many blessings.

Yall are trippin, E and MJ is my favorite combo of all time

I honestly don't think it's about weed... I think it's about people being fed up with blatant gov't lies... weed being illegal is simply one of the more blatant lies...
