Religion is always the one ruining everything ! Cannabis could have benn accepted by society but those damn idiots ruined eveerything, every stoner should go to amsterdam ;)

[stoner9076]

@mrweedtouch and everybody else who blames prohibition on religion: its the religious fundamentalists who ruin everything, I for one recognize that the bible permits smoking weed.

[JismCasanovaDurden]

see, fucking religion ruins everything, including the wonderful Cannabis which could have been accepted by society.

[WayneWiblin]

Hey maybe Eve never ate the apple of the tree in the garden of Eden it could of been hemp. Woh the first Bible printed on hemp paper... *speechless*

[SkimboarderKris]

Remember Prohibition? Yeah. Didn't work either.

[NunchuckBoy83]

It has been proven that the American inteligence agencies suplied false information to the British regarding wmd's in Iraq in order to convince them to join them in their war on Iraq. If it were to be proven that the american goverment had prior knowledge that this inteligence was fake as it has been claimed, then that would mean they had broken the law and had lied in order to incite an illegal war. This would therefore make them corrupt and a corrupt body connot legally enforce law

[NunchuckBoy83]

@NunchuckBoy83 < continued: as they have broken the law for their own gains, and how can someone who breaks the law have any right to tell others not to do the same. It is illegal for a criminal to govern law...

Ps on a side note, i personally feel that the war on Iraq was not about the oil as many believe but was infact a way of moving media attention from the fact that the american and brittish goverments with all their tecnology and resources couldn't find and capture one man. Bin Lardan

[dubconor]

@NunchuckBoy83 I personally think Bin laden been dead years, but niether taliban nor america profited from realising that to the public,. The recent " capture " is just a step in moving us forward onto what ever thier next stage of plans are

[lascrucez]

The Declaration of Independence was not written on hemp paper. Only the rough drafts were. That is a fact.

[NunchuckBoy83]

@lascrucez the original declearation of independance, i.e the first draft was. regardless of whether it was a draft or not doesn't change the fact that they thought it was good enough to use for such an important document.

[pps234]

europe doesnt really get in many wars not since WWII correct me if im wrong but they really couldnt care less weather someone smokes weed or not soo doesnt that kinda go hand in hand and canda! WHEN HAVE THEY EVER BEEN IN A WAR......weed

[corpusc]

all the characteristic effects people associate with marijuana go back to a more fundamental ROOT characteristic and explain why it effects everyone differently.

marijuana gives you INTENSE FOCUS, and therefore you think & feel more of whatever it is you CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON. for many people its the most basic human urges. drinking, eating, sex, sleeping. those are things they focus on already. just not with the increased/enhanced focus pot can give you.

[corpusc]

the bible talks about the religious use of "incense" on many occasions. not saying that its necessarily weed, but there was likely some reason for burning WHATEVER it was for helping in the religious experience.

[Hkepfer]

Wait a minute tonto....

Botanical medicine is as old as man.

Many herbs were baptized for approved use; Mint in Spanish is Yerba Buena. "for the good herb"; folklore was the BVM would lay the baby Jesus' diapers on what was a previously a poisonous plant converting it to healthful mint.

Women who drank certain teas for lactation were not considered witches.

80 to 90% of all midwives lived long healthy lives.

A Rosemary hedge is not just poetry; a wondering cow will not chow down on rosemary.

[oso65012]

I have days i don't sleep marijuana helps me i sleep like a baby i only see good in this plant, i hope on day America does to

[23spacecase]

hellyea man ppl are too stupid to relize it

[8travisty8]

i agree with what everyone is saying here, and i think that we have a real problem in our world when alcohol is treated as a better substitue to something that is found naturally in the ground, weed never hurt or killed anyone...it should be legal, but probably not in any of our lifetimes...

[ShroomSamich]

so your saying we would've been smoking cannabis in church by now instead of drinking that poisonous liquid if it were not for that stupid priest?

[Baysickcalikids]

I'm not going to lie, Sometimes i smoke weed for the fun of it i love the way it feels, and I'm pretty sure most people do.

And weed even helps me concentrate in school, i get good grades, i go to school more now, and i also get pretty good test scores, it even helps me concentrate on boring homework so i can just get it done.

LEGALIZE IT

[abforme2004]

I went to school with a kid that could smoke and ACE tests high lol.

[VrolokEren]

Ive passed difficult quizzes stoned before.

[javiamerlna]

Lol, you know the famous Pop-Tests/Quiz? Well I used to go to school stoned as a mother @#$%^& lol and I would still pass the tests without any problems, I would lose concentration at some point, but I would ALWAYS finish and get good grades, just as if I wasn't stoned.

[weedwill16]

If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on. - Terence McKenna

"Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded" -Abraham Lincoln

[ciaochowbella]

Here, here!

[TheRealElectroPig]

Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, & all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous. -- Terrence McKenna

To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men. -- Abraham Lincoln

If people let government decide which foods they eat & medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.  -- T. Jefferson

[DougEFresh98]

fuck yeah!!!! i say we go to congress and slip em some cannabis in their coffee and then give a speech and tell em theyre all on pot and hope u dont get jail. lol jk but im going to side with abe on this

tnx x a coupla damn good quotes handy

[imnickim]

the declaration of Independence is written on hemp!!! are you kidding me lmao irony at its max

[LongBlock2009]

yeah man

[LCKYNKY]

If we all grow our own they can't stop us all! Throw your seeds in the woods, side of roads, and your neighbor's herb garden. Over grow to over throw! Join the revolution, fuck the oppresive government, they know weed should be legal but they don't care!

[bodisatva75]

LCKYNKY its no that they dont care, they are influenced by Corporate Lobbying and corporate corruption, out of the many exmples take 1: Prisons, in US and UK they are mostly private companies (well all the new ones anyway), the more people they have the higher the budgets, the more money they have the more they lobby (bribe),round and round we go, 68% of prisons are filled by non violent drug uesers? Imprisoning the population is big business!!!

[TheRealElectroPig]

VERY true! On all points made, as well!

Pharmaceutical companies will lose the most, as their toxic chemical sales (they call them "drugs") will drastically fall off with a healthier population. Obviously!

Doctors will make less, because they will see far fewer sick people to give their drugs and surgeries to.

Police will have to to back to fighting REAL CRIMES, and they don't want that either! Weed smokers aren't violent...murderers are! So they prefer the "easy pickins" targets...

[11sublime11]

LEGALIZE

[aprilmarco]

They could stop cutting down trees and kill the cotton trade if they just grew hemp,It just showes you how stupid people are

[socer777]

It wouldn't necessarily kill the cotton trade because hemp is a fairly rough fiber. It's well suited for work clothes because it's extremely durable but to wear it casually is somewhat uncomfortable.

[TheRealElectroPig]

I've got a sweater made of hemp that's as smooth and soft as anything that any synthetic fiber could produce...and yes, that includes cotton!

That said, the cotton industry will still survive, as there are thousands of uses for cotton that willl likely continue forever...it's just the 25,000+ uses for cannabis/hemp make it useful for SO MUCH MORE!

Medicine, food, fibre, paper, building materials, insulation, phytoremediation, soil maintenance, weed killing, oil, fuel, alcohol...and more!!!

[kuntreefan08]

very interesting facts in this...

[rindindin]
