  • every single human shoud go on the street at the same time and demand, DEMAND!!! Demand all plants to become legal...its your human right to smoke or eat any plant you like....they are here for us to use them

  • i have discovered the gateway drug !! it has been found that 100% of drug addicts had breast milk or breast milk substitute. sure this must be the cause !! well it makes as much sense as what the prohibitionists say

  • Breast milk or substitute, there was an article in Time mag, Aug. 21, 1989 "Do Humans Need to Get High?" and quote from pioneer drug researcher Dr. Andrew Weil of the University of Arizona College of Medicine said that: "There is not a shred of hope from history or from cross-cultural studies to suggest that human beings can live without psychoactive substances." So the prohibitionists seem to be engaged in an unwinnable war, not that that will deter them.

  • i love how they always say marijuana is a gateway drug. The fact is if you're willing to try a drug you're willing to try more than one. I have never tried anything else in 2 years. I've thrown up from alcohol and passed out to, i've seen friends drive home recklessly after drinking and i've lost friends in highschool to drunk driving accidents. Yet pot causes hunger, tiredness, and a joyful time. Which one should be illegal?

  • Pt.1 - I agree with you 110% and can recommend a good book: 'Marihuana: The Forbidden Medicine' by Lester Grinspoon, M.D. & James B. Bakalar (available on Amazon). Some of cannabis's common medical uses for people suffering from: cancer chemotherapy, glaucoma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, paraplegia and quadriplegia, AIDS, chronic pain, migraine, rheumatic diseases (osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis), pruritus, premenstrual syndrome, menstrual cramps and labour pains, . . .

  • Pt.2 . . . depression and other mood disorders. And then there are the less common medical uses starting with asthma, insomnia, dystonias, AADD, schizophrenia, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), crohn's disease, diabetic gastroparesis, pseudotumor cerebri, tinnitus, post-traumatic stress disorder, phantom limb pain, aging and terminal illness. Chapter 6 (beginning page 253) is headed: 'The Once and Future Medicine'.

  • i completely agree. they say its a gateway drug only because people smoked marijuana first before they tried anything "hard." im pretty sure those people also drank alcohol, and smoked a cigarette. with that logic- people drank water before they ever tried heroine. sooooo drinking water led to heroine? people went to church before trying heroine- church led to heroine. i say legalize it. peace

  • Pt.2 - Some suspected (rumours) that Premier Bannon may've been a user during his uni days, and so had an enlightened view on cannabis use by the general public.) The problem became however that organised crime soon began muscling in and stealing / hijacking users' plants by force. This was highlighted on the ABC's "7.30 REPORT" on Wednesday, 16/05/2001 (check the program's website archives for article. It's called: "Debate over marijuana for medicinal use continues".)

  • Pt.3 - The solution IMHO is licensed hashcoffeeshops as operate in Holland for users over the age of 18, or 21, if they're so inclined to toke, although the "medical / medicinal utility" aspect is definitely of far greater importance as Dr Lester Grinspoon (among others) has in recent times been endeavouring to explain to the wider public.

  • Pt.4 - NSW Premier Bob Carr, ACA, 10.9.04 "The Case For Cannabis". Host Ray Martin, reporter Ben Fordham. Premier Carr: "Don't we want to have, every option, to be able to offer these people? This is something I'll fight for, because, to be selfish about it, I don't want to be in that position. I don't want, Helena [Premier's wife] to be in that position. I don't want members of my family to be in that position. And, I think common humanity dictates, that, we think of the suffering of others."

  • i shudder to think of myself never discovering pot.one of my favorite things

  • Pt.1 - It's the "law reform" angle that interests me. Too many people have had their lives ruined by the current marijuana laws in place. Did you know that in South Australia from 1986-87 till just a few years ago, users were permitted to grow up to 10 plants for their own use and only faced an on-the-spot fine of $150? (It was called South Australia's "Cannabis Expiation Notice (CEN) scheme", introduced in 1987 by the then John Bannon Labor Government.
