i dont think its big, 35,000 usually die from influenza anyway... i think 7-100(VERY liberal number there)people dying is a drop in the bucket, i dont think its news at all... look at the numbers of people killed from tobacco, alcohol related accidents and overdoses, TB malaria etc etc etc.... its extremely exageratted, if only theyd freak out about stupidity on this level, or herpes or oh GOD, the HPV virus that will kill us all!!! haha.. sorry, im going overboard, but really, as hhb has said before "nothing to see here folks move along" and if the story changes, then the story changes, but until then, ill see it as a farce placed upon the numbminded folks of planet earth.. we'll see who sees through the silver lining
here ya go http://www.globalmarijuanamarch.org/ maybe i should start a thread in the mj forums, i assumed peeps would know
you dont live in the US so dont worry about it.. apparently you dont understand, so i dont expect you to our country needs the change.
btw its not about coverage, although that would be good..but its about support, overwhelming support would hopefully initiate change(albeit slow)...but agriculturally, medically and economically our country and states need changes... almost more importantly we need the changes specifically within the criminal justice and prison systems... prohibition has crossed the line a thousand times over and people and plants need to be free to live, unhindered.
It looks global. The Global Marijuana March (GMM) I spotted a few UK chapters of that "cause". If it is about legalising weed et al...then no, I don't care much about that... But, it isn't just an American issue. Far from it, it seems.
I never said it was..but you specifically asked me why this issue needs more coverage, therefore my answer is based on my situation... does that make sense? why are you against legalization, and/or not for supporting legalization, decriminalization or at least the allowance of medicinal growth and the growth of hemp for fiber, fuel, and food?
It doesn't make sense to me. Sorry. Because I don't care about this issue. No real reasons. Just not put much thought into it. This is not sarcasm: Go start the 376th thread about it here and see if you can convince me and others. I can wait till you have your shit together.
i dont need to convince you, thats not my goal, I was simply asking a question. sorry, but i dont see much point in trying to convince you, if you dont care about it, no one can convince you to care about it...theres enough history and people already interested in seeking change, im not here to convince you... for me its more important for people that do have an opinion to be heard, thats the point...apparently youre hard headed on the issue so im just gonna end the mj debate, cause it really has nothing to do with the swine flu thread... maybe youll care about it one day, maybe you wont. but i wont count on it. anyway, if you wanted convincing you can do research on your own, theres a plethora of information out there... no reason to copy and paste here, take care and convince yourself! haha
Perhaps "convince" was the wrong word. I really just meant put your points across. Then I can/could bounce around a few of the issues you raise. You never know you just might make me care. Seriously, I just wanted your perspective. That's all. A starting point, if you will. I'll just go do some boring research then
haha, well I dunno, mainly for me I see it as an issue of freedom, this plant was created and we(our gov'ts) dont have the right to say its 'illegal'...that in itself seems to be illegal to me... but largely its sustainable and organic use as a crop interests me most, it can be made into plastics, biofuels, paper, cloth/rope, cattle feed, horse bedding, and much more on top of that the seeds contain great amounts of omegas and is one of the best sources of plant protein(besides soy i believe), its also a great oxygen producer.. I dunno it just seems overwhelmingly like an amazing plant AND...and thats a BIG AND its illegal for a REASON its illegal because its bad for the petroleum companies, the energy companies, the paper and timber companies, the paint companies...its BAD for all of them, so I can only believe that its GOOD for the people, and GOOD for the planet... sorry I just woke up but maybe that'll show you a little bit on my perspective, of course I could have gone into the medicinal benefits of easing pain and nausea, or just the fact that sometimes its just plain fun to eat a magic cookie! haha, but maybe we'll save that for another day, cause really I see those properties as added bonuses to this plants already astounding possibilities(which I think we should seek out first, not the potential as a drug, we have enough drugs around, and thats not the only issue here) practically two different plants, which are one in the same. also if you're religious at all the first AND last pages of the bible may give us some perspective on this(first Genesis 1:29 God gave us every seed-bearing plant on the whole earth...(that) will be yours for food. AND last in Revelation 22:2 on each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.) theres some other talk about where the word Canaan, and Canvas came from, and how in the sacred anointing oil, the ingredient of 'frangrant cane' is indeed Cannabis..but alright I'm done for now, time for coffee so I can wake up!
well, anybody with a brain isn't going to subscribe to the notion this is a naturally occurring disease. at the very least stay open to the possibility it was engineered, seeing how the supposed origins are sketchy as hell. any microbiologist would be suspicious. bird flu from north america got the swine flu's from pigs in Asia and Europe, respectively, and then mixed in human somewhere along the way. evidently, a Mexican or Mexico visitor caught this and took it back over there. so, somebody or something went to the corners of the world, and it by chance or intent, gathered these flu's into one. it's just too many continents too soon... regardless of the origins, no way in hell I'm taking the vaccine...not a chance... the being said, let's not lose sight of what's important here. those of you with awareness will realize that this flu, coupled with the economy is Obama's 911, so to speak...it's being used to common denominate Mexico, US, and Canada, for the merging of those countries. edit: lmao @ how the thread starter is taking credit for this theory in order to justify his insecurities.
I hope I have a brain. After reading this (and following up a little more reading from the info garnered): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swine_influenza#History It seems pretty obvious this has occured before...the origins are known (and have been for a while) and we just happen to be dealing with a new strain now. Now, wiki, could be a CIA funded blacks ops...but, I very much doubt that. Is it a common trait for CTs to say this: "those of you with awareness" (or other such things with the same effect)? How rude. I'm not too sure if you are being serious here, but if you are...stop reading crap from Alex Jones and read other sources of information. It really will prevent you from saying such naive things, trust me.
except this isn't simply a new strain. it's a cross between four.... the human flu, swine flue from Asia, swine flu from Europe, and bird flu...the fact is happened before is what makes this possible, and this is why there is suspicion regarding it's origins. you should really look more carefully at both sides of these issues...discernment shall prove valuable in these next few years.
I wrote this last year on August 26th, 2008 after smoking a good amount of fly agaric and meditating... "I have a prophecy. Sometime mid 2009 a new disease is going to break out in the US. Theres gonna be a radical group that believes this was the governments doing and this is going to result in much protesting, eventual riots and nearly a civil war. The funding that will be required to deal with this internal affair, in combination with Iraq is going to drain the US quick enough that everyone will wake up to the economic crisis and attempt to do something. I don't know if the thing will fail as a whole from the economic crisis, but it might from something else going on during this period. ... The fly agaric told me. Although, that might just be a facetious way for it to get me moving out of the US and onward with something new in life. Mushrooms can be tricksters sometimes. Although fly agaric does feel very wise and serious."
