no one should have the right to say you can,t smoke or grow this wonderfull plant the reason i think its iligal is because ganja opens up your mind and the goverment dont want that they want us to be stuck in our little egg shells to carry on being told what to do this world is a fucking discrace and its about time we stand tall and say fuck the law smoke the draw peace 2 all u ganja smokers

Wikipedia isn't the best place to get your 'facts'.

William Randolph Hearst owned lots of timberland and worried that the use of hemp fiber would cut into his profits. He lobbied for hemp to be outlawed; the racism thing was thought up by his cronies and used as a propaganda campaign to aid his cause.

@HFSHADOWZ its not illegal cause of that. shit it actually used to be law where farmers were required by law to grow it. its only illegal now cause if they made it legal, alot of companies would fall and crash like beer cig, phamacies and other companies like those. and america loves getting money that it doesnt have.

its too fucking difficult to get the world to know how Cannibus is "not" dangerous at all!

since mainstream media stated it was dangerous back in the day.

even in movies its displayed as dangerous.

in cartoons.

in spoofs and comedy.

its going to be soo fucking difficult to tell that to cronic tobacoo smokers or drinkers.

to depressed people, to somebody who is soo stuck in the fucking past.

to me, cannibus is as good as your daily water, vitamins etc.

[Emblemz]

@RimjobYourMom i LOL'D at your statement.

alcohol: kills approx 60 thousand or more a year

tobacoo smoke: 100 thousand or more

cannibus/marijuana/weed: 0

absolutely none. nor violence or crime related.

you gotta be a troll or using a fake account or something (in my assumption) to make a ridiculous statement like that.

microresearch or google on recent marijuana studies. you'll be surprized

for the record. MJ it doesnt cause cancer, it doesnt kill brain cells etc.

@RimjobYourMom oh ya like alcohol puts happiness in your brain kids good moral asshole weed is way safer than alcohol and there are way safer ways to smoke weed now that cut down on braincells dieing like vaporizers but you know what though it isn't a miracle drug that's super healthy but it isn't the worst thing ever ether if taken into moderation it has very little effect you know i have no problem with your stance that kids shouldn't take drugs but kids know when you lie
