Hey did you know that there was a Marijuana farm in Berkley CA that wanted there plants classified as Organic. They grow it for medicinal purposes, obviously they have all the proper permits and such. I read it on yahoo news a few months ago. Well, also you have to realize CA isnt as strict on Marijuana as other states. I hope I am correct in saying it is still legal to carry 2 ounces of pot on your person at any given time within the boundaries of California. I could be wrong and this could have changed but the last time I checked it was legal to carry that amount, or it could be bogus. btw, I cant sleep... |

Actually, the supreme court ruled a few months back that the federal laws prohibiting posession or use of ANY marijuana trump any state laws regarding medicinal use.

Yeah even if you use it for medical purposes they can still get you, I don't why they have to be like that it's almost liek every one int he US move to the Netherlands and not come back till they make it legal, although this would never happen, It could work, if everyone left the US it would hurt the economy and they country wouldn't be able to run with out the people. But this would never happen and is completely thearetical. But we the people do have the right to over throw our goverment if they become corrupt. It is some where in the constitution. Anyways yeah.

If there were enough support for the issue that those who supported it could actually make a dent on the economy by leaving, then it would be a simple measure to get an issue on the ballots and pass a constitutional amendment. No governmental overthrowing necessary, but you go ahead and renew your militia membership if it makes you feel better.
Seriously, if population became an issue, all the government would have to do is open our borders for about a week, and the large numbers of people who are seeking residency would more than fill the void.

Well I said if the goverment was corrupt, which it is, but isn't corrupt enough to over throw it yet. I say yet cause our freedoms little by little are being taken away, we are having to pay more and more taxes. Man this country was about freedom and getting away from a corrupt goverment. But hey it is our right as citizens to over throw the goverment shoudl it become so corrupt that we have no more freedoms. But we are still very free. Just not free to smoke a lil green plant that our first president grew and smoked.

Well Its true, though the potency of what he grew may have been less than what we have today, I don't know though.

Oh yeah, it has. Scientists believe that marijuana today is about 60-70% more potent than it was in the 60's, so imagine how it was waaaay back in the day...

Especially since horticulture and cross-breeding hadn't really been "discovered" at that point, meaning GW was most likely smoking pollenated MJ, where the THC levels are very low. Modern MJ growers keep the Male plants away from the females, so that they don't seed as much and there is a much higher concentration of THC in the buds.
Now, imagine it's legalized and a large chem/biotech like Monsanto gets ahold of it and GMs a plant with 2x-3x the THC of modern MJ. We're now a far cry from industrial hemp.

Well when you put it that way, if it were legallized they could control the potency of it, although it's almost be liek diff brands cause diff ones are better for diff people.

I've seen enough lives ruined by this "harmless green plant" to feel as though it's best kept controlled. I'm all for medical uses, but I also buried a friend who was shot to death by a lifelong pothead. I've lost all contact with other close friends due to stupid decisions they made under the influence of this substance. I've met many others with psychological addictions who needleslly amounted to just about nothing. They were ruining what they had left of themselves - by their own hands and zig zags.
No. This garbage does hurt people. Even when I'm not around here exercising, I'm pushing all of my daily stress into outlets which ultimately prove to be productive. I'm not wasting that energy by blowing it away into little clouds of stank smoke, or drowning it complex sugars.
