Could Pot End The War On Terrorism??? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Recently, I started a post on the subject of the legalization of marijuana as it pertains to tax revenues. As our coffers run dry in Washington, and our children's futures are mortgaged for the sake of another vacation home or "blow-out vegas weekend" for some overpriveledged snob, we face the very real challenge in finding solutions to our economic woes. But in this article, let's take a look at what pot could do for the war on terror. Of coo

thanks for the comments vin...yes, indeed support has grown over the years,,,nevada came close a couple of years ago getting 40% of the vote for full legalization. i have the feeling we'll see more propositions on the ballot in the future...both for medical and for legalization. if nothing else, we should be using hemp seed oil to fuel our cars and end our dependece on foreign oil. if we did that, maybe we won't have any more disasters like i

thank you for your thoughts baker,,,i disagree, but respect your view...as far as your 50 year arguement goes,,,it was legal for the 1000's of years before that...many of our founding fathers grew it, including washington and jefferson...historical documents were written on it and i think you would be surprised how many non lethargic folk out there smoke and do it responsibly. take care:)

the beauty of this method is that deoderant is just doing what it naturally does. al you need is a stick type that has a colored plastic (vs. clear) . of course, this method is only good for personal amounts, one would look kind of suspicious bringing a case of old spice or speed stick on an airplane for a week long vacation.

Rumsfeld Caught Lying On Tape!!! in Politics JoeUser Forums

The following is a reprint of a letter i got this morning,,,also provided, is a link so you can see Rumsfeld lie for yourself... A year ago today, the Bush Administration was making its final push toward war in Iraq. We know now that much of what we were told about the threat that Iraq posed was untrue. And rather than own up to their distortion of the facts, Bush administration officials are denying they ever said such things. But

[quote]Bakerstreet, what's the big deal if a product makes someone intoxicated? Why do you object to occasional intoxication so much? I know people who get drunk every weekend. [/quote] baker seems to not be able to distinguish people who enjoy a nice pot buzz vs what he has in his mind as a bunch of wasted, stoned hippies raping his daughter or something,,,if they are not too lazy...how he describes users just shows how distant he is from the

[quote]Why should anyone legalize any substance and profit legally from it when it's illegal status provides a mean of a kind of control over the population and shifts certain portions of it from free markets to controlled markers (aka the recent business model of using prison population as underpaid workforce)? Definitely, the longer drugs are forbidden, the longer the government and corporations would benefit from it's collaterial damage.[/quote]

[quote]XX: My point was, beer is a beverage that happens also to be an intoxicant if used in excessive amounts. MJ is an intoxicant... period. No other use. If you abuse alcohol, you get drunk, if you use pot, you become intoxicated. There is a big difference.[/quote] sorry,,,but you are really off the mark there,,,most people i know who smoke usually prefer a small amount at ta time,,,just like the people who enjoy a drink or 2 at home after

Smuggling Pot From Jamaica...A True Story in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

The last time we left our friend Sam, he was enjoying a couple of tokes from some great British Columbian pot he had purchased on the internet. But for Sam the adventures never end... Sam decided he needed a vacation. It was still cold and wet where he lived and he needed some sun. Sam and I discussed some options and he seemed really enthu

[quote]So we need another government sanctioned product for people who die on the road and get into fights?The basic fact people overlook is that getting drunk is the abuse of alcohol, and millions of people use alcohol as a beverage every day without abusing it, without getting drunk For thousands of years it was the primary source of drink in most cultures and the world wasn't destroyed by alcoholism, and drunkards were still singled out as abusers.O

as far as the "mailase" goes,,,,your naivity shows that you are probably not aware of who smokes pot and who doesn't...also, are you trying to suggest that someone who is a little laid back and relaxed is somehow more offensive than a drunk slurring their speech, stumbling around, throwing up and wrecking their car?

the whole keep it illegal to keep the bar low arguement is about the same as the "gateway" drug arguement. and both have been shown to not be true. whereas sometimes a small spike can be shown after a law change,,,long term, people settle down. and prohibition doesn't keep anything out of anyone's hands, it just lines the pockets of the sellers by allowing them to inflate prices. when i was your age, and still today, it was easier to find coke than pot

actually sir,,,democracy isn't about getting 51% or any majority for that matter and then proceed to crush the minority opinion. if you think that,,,then i am afraid you need a civics lesson before attacking this discussion.

thanks for the "mudslide" coment...actually, history suggests differently. alchohol is a great example. look at how much light beer is sold vs. grain alchohol. one of the problems with reasoning as such makes the assumption that all these drugs like marijuana compared to cocaine is that they all do "the same thing." people who have never experienced any of these substances tend to oversimplify this and assume cocaine and marijuana both get yo
