denying the weed
 
which is proven to help certain illnesses and conditions is immoral and inhumane.
dontcha think?

DanaC 12-18-2006 04:47 PM

Yup.

I also think the weed being illegal for recreational purposes whilst alcohol is acceptable is a tad bizarre.

It helps more than anyone who does not need it can imagine.
There is a lot of information on the NORML website.
Thanks a lot for posting this my friend.

I used to frequent the norml site from time to time. The design house I was part of was a 'cannabusiness', specialist pipes. We had quite a few customers who valued our designs for the ease of use and a few other reasons. Ease of use is one of those things that becomes vey important in a design if the user is for instance, suffering from multiple sclerosis.

The liquor industry is terrified of herb. Terrified.

As they should be Beestie. I don't deny the weed. If I did...well I just wouldn't be the same person.
I'd much rather be high than drunk...driving or otherwise. I'm not gonna kill anyone while driving high, that's for damn sure. If anything, I'm more careful, and I definitely drive slower. I've driven drunk, many times I'm ashamed to say, and I almost killed myself once. Could have, maybe I should have...but nothing like that has ever happened when I was high. I don't lose my inhibitions, I don't run around naked, I don't sing like I got the vocal chords of a God when I'm high...I've done that and worse drunk...alcohol being legal and not weed is absurd, but I'm a smoker...that's what we all say right?

It says;

We've received reports about this "grit weed" from all over the country on our forum and we have photographs of it. It seems to be some kind of small glass particles held on the bud in some kind of glue.
Don't do it, it's dangerous unless you put a filter on that joint or pipe. ;)

This is true, however, they are not the ones who stand to lose the most... the textile industry spends the most on keeping it illegal. They were the ones who played the race card to get it banned to begin with after an invention which was going to make paper and fabric faster easier and with 11% fewer chemicals than wood pulp and cotton. We can't be having that now, not when hemp can be grown three to four times a year on the same acre of land instead of once every five to ten years like pine or once a year like cotton and with less fertilizer, noooooooo. Ironically, textile grade hemp will not get you high. The big companies that paid to get it banned are still working at it, Kimberly Clark, Dow and two big lumber companies that I cannot remember the names of.
Some of the pharmaceuticals are not happy about some of the studies out of Europe either.
In 1934 the invention was featured in a popular science that stated hemp would be America's nest #1 cash crop... that is what set them off.

Oh, textile companies, liquor companies and drug dealers (the biggest being the CIA and FBI) of course.

All those reasons; it's never going to change. In Ohio it is now illegal to smoke a damn cigarette anywhere pretty much. Next, no beer drinking. Then, no aspirin. We're going in the wrong damn direction...what happened to personal choice?

Stupid stupid stupid.

I like weed.

piercehawkeye45 12-23-2006 04:14 PM

Its the typical example of one person taking weed to far and ruins it for everyone else. I can say that weed will ruin people's lives from seeing other people when I went to high school, but a majority had no problem balanceing weed, and other more dangerous drugs, and a healthy life. It all depends on the person.

Weed won't be legalized for another forty years because the older generations are the ones that will fight to the death to keep it illegal.

Yep, the health nazis have pretty much eliminated the possibility that anyone could have a pot lounge even when (I'm optimistic on this part) we get it legalized.

edit: 15 posts it was time for the nazi card
