FORGET SMOKING MARIJUANA FOR ONE MINUTE!! THERE IS A MASSIVE OIL PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, DID U KNOW THAT MARIJUANA IS ONE OF THE BEST SOURCES OF BIO FUEL AND IT IS VERY EASILY AND VERY CHEAPLY GROWN, AND IT PUTS MORE OXYGEN INTO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN A TREE SO BEFORE YOU'VE BURNT IT AS OIL ITS ALREADY BALANCED ITS CARBON OFFSET OUT.

. so if u get ur head out of ur ass you may realise there is more to the plant than just smoking.

@mqwaz well said

@Armornone Really? Have you ever tried it? It's just a plant you know. It doesn't hurt you. You are going solely on what somebody taught you to believe. A slogan from the 80's that was drilled in your head.

@Armornone Heroine is not A plant. It is made FROM a plant, plus other stuff that’s really bad for you. Marijuana can grow in your back yard, be harvested, and immediately smoked or cooked or whatever. No additives required. It’s natural - 100%. Heroine is not.

20 million people in jail for having some marijuana on them is a crime itself. Do we throw people in jail for being alcoholics? No, we don’t. Nor should we for marijuana, particularly given that pot is far safer.

I don’t lie.

@Armornone hahahah wtf. did you not know that you can DIE from heroine? that you CAN'T overdose on marijuana? you can find the most normal looking person on the street & ask if they have smoked weed. the chances that their answer will be YES is 87% EIGHTY-SEVEN FUCKING PERCENT MY FRIEND. i say that this needs to be a greener america.

@mqwaz

When Henry Ford made the first car. it ran on ethanol made from hemp, which had many benefits like longer car life because less build up and waste in the engine and way cleaner exhaust fumes. it was cheap and easy to make but oil companies worked to make it illegal so they could be the fuel suppliers. we could of avoided all this ozone layer bullshit. But money is the root of all evil. Im sure you already that tho.

@demmmmm1 Heroine is from a plant also, does that mean its natural? You say its medicine, well you can't make that claim since the FDA has deemed that its not a medicine. Its considered an illegal drug that will land you in jail. There are not over 20 million people in jail for taking aspirin however there are over 20 million people in jail for marijuana. Looks like I caught you in a lie. You can learn more from the FDA website.
