Why not legalize murder and rape too? Then we could stop building prisons altogether!

Cancer sticks don't make you a non-productive, obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, hyperactive psycho who thinks everybody is out to get him. They just make you smell and die young.WTAG wrote:People are allowed to suck on cancer sticks all day, why shouldn't they be allowed to do coke if they so choose?AZGrizFan wrote:

Well, they could tax a lot of it. Give government contracts to grow it on large scales, they will be able to make it more available, and probably better. In addition, they can also turn industrial hemp (that can't be smoked) into a cash crop. There are ways to do it, but of course you're not going to be able to stop the stoners doing it themselves, but they're not doing that too successfully right now anyways.wideright82 wrote:WTAG wrote:

Only reason I can get, is that it is too easy to avoid any "government weed program". You can't grow a tobacco plant in your basement, and you sure as shit aint curing that shit on your own. Lends itself to a perfect big company and government taxable item. Weed, shit I can just go get some seeds, and grow it myself, good luck taxing THAT America.

Straight from the D.A.R.E brochure.
FYI Z, before on my real drugs, weed, in a moderate dose, helped me get over ADD and OCD. Also, it was the only thing that got rid of my brothers chronic pain, and that includes some of the most powerful pain meds on the planet. I'm just sayin, it aint bad in moderation. It's the abusers, like those of any drugs, with the problems. Just my .02

Add home brewers if you don't like the term shiners. Folks on this message board do that.TwinTownBisonFan wrote:you realize that's really no different than 'shiners...
I support legalization, regulation and taxation of marijuana. Let us focus on the hard drugs, both prevention and interdiction. Prohibition flatly hasn't worked.

Yes I do realize that. This time not joking though. There are not as many different levels to marijuana as there is to alcohol. Alcohol content, and making alcohol, vary DRASTICALLY in ease, severity, and access to the resources needed. No where near the same as planting a seed, maintaining it, and letting it dry. Any douchebag with an aero garden and some White Rhino seeds can grow outstanding weed. You stick me in a room with 15 feet of copper coil, a barrell, some wheat, rice or other grain, and I sure as shit won't come back with 'shine. Probably will come back with poison.
Show me proof they make you die young. Many of the most productive people I know are pot heads. Pot doesn't make you paranoid, its not a hallucinate. Alcohol will kill you much faster and more worthless. Being drunk is far more prohibiting then being high yet thats okay.AZGrizFan wrote:Cancer sticks don't make you a non-productive, obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, hyperactive psycho who thinks everybody is out to get him.

Also allows you to find out the perfect water to noodle ratio, and cooking time, to make easy mac one of the best meals on the planet.
Makes beating the original TMNT on nintendo that much better.

No shit. I always get part way and die. Annoys me that I was better as a kid when I played it all the time. Pisses me off that I have to start over but thats half the fun.wideright82 wrote:slycat wrote:

That thing is hard as [*]f**k isn't it?! What happened to video games. No easy mode, no hard mode, just an all out war with 4 turtles and some guy in a mask with henchmen. You die, you start over, no checkpoint bullshit.

Actually, it was learned from watching "Pulp Fiction", but, you know, whatever.
