this doesnt quite fit in the marijuana forum but i like this forum and couldnt find one that really fits ok i think there is some sort of secret group in america for keeping our societies structure. They know the most powerful force is the people. If all of us decide on something there is nothing that could stop us. Or if everyone starting rioting nothing could stop us. This group believes that stability must be maintaned to avoid chaos. Part of this stability is the average person can not be happy and fulfilled but MUST want more. This is so that they will work to get money. If people are going to work society will be stable. This is why this group is so passionate for keeping weed and other drugs down. I mean it makes sense to legalize weed when you look at the facts. But if weed was easily available people wouldnt have a burning desire to work hard and get money and be successful in order to be happy because they have weed which is good enough so why work hard for more? The problem this group sees with weed is if it was legal it so easy to grow it ever where people would easily be content. Side note i also thing the lottery is for more important than we all think. The lottery giving millions of people stuck in no where jobs hope. So they will work there entire lives saying maybe one day i will be rich. If there wasnt the lottery people would say fuck this job it sucks why should i continue doing something i dont want to for my entire life. See the lottery like the lack of weed is meant to keep people in there jobs which keeps america stable which keeps the people on top at the top. just a thought i dont really believe it myself interesting to note: lotteries are run by the government and all states have them government agents have knowing lied about marijuana (example: cat scan on MTV of the guy on weeds brain with dark spots and they said it was from using weed altough any brain surgeon guy who reads would have known it was created from adjusting the contrast of the scan) ton more examples but im sure u know of them
Yeah, I've always had my thoughts that people are controlled to think happiness requires excess. I never could decide where they were taught this, but I think it really starts from school. You have to have good grades to become anything successful, and apparently success is getting the most amount of money you can and buying a lot of shit (which is effectively supporting society very well). I'm sure we all remember being told by numerous sources that excess equals happiness, haven't we? When is the last time someone seriously tried to convince you that simplicity could be happiness, and if they did, could you believe them? It's almost as if everyone in the world has the idea that happiness come from lots of money and a good job, and the problem is that it's not constantly conveyed through the media to be true. Television programs, movies, books, the internet, all these media outlets will carry the message at one point or another that if you want to be happy in life, you have to have a good job, a family, contribute to society, and make lots of money. There just seems to be a lot of emphasis on money. You see it on TV that being rich is the "good life". It's stressed in school that having a minimum wage job is for "losers". In fact, the word "job" isn't in much use anymore. When I think of the word "job", I think of somehting someone does to earn money. In school, we're taught that we should have "careers" and "professions", and basically saying anything else is for "losers". In fact, it's instilled into people that the people who simply want a way to get money that doesn't define their lives are stupid. You're right, if everyone realized that we didn't need to have careers to be happy and could just get by with a simple job, then society wouldn't be doing that well. I don't think that there is any team that's perpetuating this message, though. I simply thing that somewhere along the lines, someone stopped paying attention to the welfare of the induvidual, and focused on the welfare of the entire society. The society could be filled with 100,000,000 hard-working people that may be completely miserable, but the system as a whole would be doing well because there's more productivity. The problem is that if everyone were to stop working to contribute to an economy, and start living a simple and humble life, then our nation's economy wouldn't be the capatilist super-power it is today. Sure, we would all be happy, and life would be good for us, but for the power-hungry people who only want our nation to be the most powerful in the world, it's not enough. So, these images have to be constantly shown to people to keep society in tact. We have to be miserable to dedicate our lives in such a futile way. Work, work, work, work, die. There had to have been something to convince humans that such a ridiculous system was the way to live. Now, I don't believe that pot is illegal for that reason alone. I believe that it is plausible that somewhere someone might have realized that the hapiness it causes would bring the super-powerful-society down to a traniqu and happy one. However, I think it's much more plausible that agencies like NIDA and the DEA constantly put out false reports on its dangers because they benefit from it being illegal. They get money every year for researching and enforcement, yet they still use studies conducted in 1995 on their reports. There is a conspiaracy, but I doubt we're gong to bring it down soon.
Someone should replace the head of NIDA's cookies with hash cookies and see waht happens when his drug test results turn up.
