Legalize It!!!!!

It’s all about money! You know what’s relly fd up? If you get any sort of virus (flu, cold, stomach bug, etc…) there is nothing that they can do for you. There actually is, but nothing that can net them any money. there are plenty of all natural things that fight viruses! Lysine is great against viruses, unlike arginine that feeds them. Also, olive leaf extract, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar all fight against viruses. If you took that stuff, as I do, mostly every day, then you will NEVER get a virus! A Dr would never mention that to you though bc how will that help them? Funny how much press is out about the fn flu shot! The best part is that there is no proof that it even works. Ever see what’s in vaccines? Thermasol, which is mercury! Also there are about 13 other ingredients which include detergents, antifreeze and a whole bunch of other nasty shit! The last disease ever cured was poleo, now they just make vaccines so they can keep making money off of them! there are so many vaccines these days as opposed to years ago. It seems that every few years there are new ones, it’s nuts!!! Now we have the chicken pox vaccine, for real??? It’s even more fd up when they give so many to new borns, they have such a weak immune system that’s trying to develope. Gets me so pissed I could go on forever!!!

Marijuana is one of,if not the, least toxic “drugs”, requiring thousands of times the dose one would use to get the desired effect to lead to death. This "thousands of times" is actually theoretical, since there has never been a recorded case of marijuana overdose.

There are hundreds of alcohol overdose deaths each year, yet there has never been a marijuana overdose death in history.

Comparisons between alcohol and marijuana with respect to sexual assault are very difficult. This is because it does not appear as if marijuana is a significant contributing factor. The best way to “prove” this is through observation that many organizations dedicated to studying and educating about assault do not list marijuana as a substance associated with incidents. But we can look at instance where alcohol played a major role in such incidents as date rape, assault, and battery.

Of the psychoactive substances examined, among individuals who were chronic partner abusers, the use of alcohol and cocaine was associated with significant increases in the daily likelihood of male-to-female physical aggression; cannabis and opiates were not significantly associated with an increased likelihood of male partner violence.

…the odds of any male-to-female physical aggression were more than 8 times (11 times) higher on days when men drank than on days of no alcohol consumption. The odds of severe male-to-female physical aggression were more than 11 times (11 times) higher on days of men’s drinking than on days of no drinking. Moreover, in both samples, over 60% of all episodes occurred within 2 hours of drinking by the male partner.

About 3 million violent crimes occur each year in which victims perceive the offender to have been drinking at the time of the offense.

Two-thirds of victims who suffered violence by an intimate (a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend) reported that alcohol had been a factor.

Among spouse victims, 3 out of 4 incidents were reported to have involved an offender who had been drinking.

Alcohol contributes to about 599,000 unintentional student injuries each year. No such statistics exist when it comes to student marijuana use.

Some people are more prone to addiction than others

But based on what you wrote here and a couple comments below it seems to me you are rather mentally weak (going through a depression because of a breakup and getting with someone shortly thereafter etc), no offense.

I think it just comes down to mental fortitude, if you cant handle not smoking for a couple of weeks or even days, then this stuff is not for you and you should prolly find something more productive to do with your time. Same goes for alcohol, some people can handle it better than others, those that cant should refrain from getting intoxicated, whether it be with alcohol or marijuana.

Yeah, off the top of my head I have known 5 people who have used medication to deal with depression at one time of their lives or another. Feeling hopeless is incredibly common. I was actually hospitalised for depression when my ex broke up with me. I got through it, and shortly after met my current partner. In between the break up and meeting him, I realised that it wasn’t the end of the world to not be with someone. In fact, I felt more free to be who I wanted to be because the last relationship stifled a lot of my personality.

So I guess I’m a bit of a train wreck too then. :P

It’s funny how depression crops up. Anything can cause it, in fact sometimes there simply is no cause if someone is really unfortunate. That’s when they bring in shock therapy… nasty stuff that can wreck someone’s memories but as a last resort it has worked for quite a few people.

but at high speeds on a highway, probably won’t make much of a difference. Ultimately it should be at the rider’s discretion though

availability does not create more addicts

ST

That is illegal under ATF.

There are certain states that expressly allow it though (Missouri was one I found quickly), and it is legal to own a one gallon still if you are never caught distilling alochol.

Wow, that is horrible. There are some jobs that it takes an immense amount of emotional fortitude to deal with.

I’ve been hooked on heroin , meth , oxy , every other pill you could think up and I’d say that the numbers are misleading . I bet 97 % of addicts relapse after their first go around but when it’s all said and done everyone either dies or gets clean I don’t know alot of oldtimers that are still shootin up

And decriminalize all other drugs. Save the taxpayers billions every year.

Having said that, it’s true that legalizing and regulating marijuana could dilute the potency, especially if Big Pharma takes over for government distribution. So, decriminalizing it altogether and leaving it sort of nebulous like abortion might be for the best.

The nay-sayers might focus on panic attacks and weed bringing on psychotic symptoms in certain people.

When I drink too much I usually do things I regret.

Ibuprofen is sold generically, but the patent Advil is sold at a marked up price. Marijuana could be sold in patented form no problem.

So they are argeeing with the fact that it has a use in the medical field, but only through fucking with the original genetics are they able to patent it.

most web reports listed it as poisonous and carcinogenic. Then the old timers started speaking up, lol, and now comfrey is sold in seed form, plant form, different strains, etc.

Maybe most politicians become bad as they proceed in their career but History has seen plenty of remarkable leaders who have done great things for their people and who refused to be corrupted. There is a justified reason to be cynical in our day and age and specifically in the money driven political system in the USA but the profession itself remains a noble one.
