Check out the DEA's publication: http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.org/publications/pdf/mj_rev.pdf "Alcohol and tobacco cost society a great deal every year in terms of crime, lost productivity, tragedies, and deaths. Why legalize marijuana and add a third drug to the current list of licit threats?" What kind of weak arugement is that? Oh, total MJ death count? Yep, still at 0. And I've never seen a stoned guy commit a real crime, short of "being out past curfew", oh and of course the crime that our government made by making it illegal. Tragedies? A room full of stoned guys is a tragedy, all of that tragic laughing. Shit, I'll tell you a tragedy that herb creates: When you run out. And producivity? I'm still a hard-working citizen that pays your DEA ass, and pays my taxes like any American. I go to work everyday, on time, work late, come in when someone dosn't show, and gets everything done. Shit, I'm one of the top employees. You know why you should legalize it? It's NOTHING compared to alcohol, and almost the same as tobacco, but better. The rest of the arguments they make are bull anyways.
yeah this is pretty fucking lame! I'm suprised they even mentioned the alcohol and tobacco thing cuz they used to avoid it like the plague. What I really hate the most is when they try to say that MJ is just as dangerous as alcohol on the road because of how many teens in accidents supposedly tested positive for MJ it was statistically worse than alcohol. Anyone who does their homework or has any knowledge knows that MJ can stay in ones system for a week or more sojust because you test positive doesn't mean you're high! and these bitches acctually tried to feed that shit to the american people! I gotta get outta here while I'm still in a good mood, this shit pisses me off and I don't even smoke anymore.
yea, it pisses me off too. and then they talk about a rise in marijuana mentions in the hospital. just because they mentioned it dosnt mean its the problem. that was probably something like "have you smoked marijuana?" "yes." thats b/s. i do have a major problem with testing at schools. that is complete bullSHIT. they have no right to come in there and do that, what people do on their own time is their business damnit. MAN im glad im out of school. I would straight up refuse, and the way things are at my school, im sure we could gather a nice sized protest. Are they gona arrest us all? Ha. Use me as an example, i don't care. I'll fight for my right to smoke, whether or not the government wants to honor it is their choice. Denying me my right to smoke herb is denying me my freedom as an american imo.
I read such a tiny bit (there's all these errors, so a lot of it is blank) and I'm already getting angry. Use of a drug does not automatically equal abuse, you DEAth fucktards! And maybe potsmokers suffer more suicidal thoughs not because of the drug, but because they are self medicating depression with it. Pot smoking as an effect, not a cause, of depression. It's all too much propoganda! I like how it said Americans spend 10.6 billion dollars on weed in 1999. Imagine if it was legal! There'd be taxes, at the very least sales tax, if not some stupid ass sin tax like on liquor or tobacco. Look at all this economy going on in the drug market that the government can't get it's hands on! You think they'd be clamoring for legalization....
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH I so detest such blatant propaganda! Obviously a ploy to undermine the voting majority WHO SMOKES IT AND KNOWS BETTER. This is definetly an election year. Busting the telivision did little good.
the government is filled with communist/facist pigs who brainwash people about drugs from the time there born, pot and psychedelics aren't harmful at all, and the study that was done that said pot smoke is worse than was done with leaves not bud, bud has like 30 percent LESS carcinogenic things in it. Also cigarette smokers smoke ALOT more than pot smokers, the average smoker smokes 15-20 cigarettes a day maybe more, the average pot smoker (depending on what your smoking with) smokes maybe a whole joint a day al added up, i smoke like a quarter of a joint a day, but i use a bong not joints. So tobacco is worse for you than pot. and same with alcohol you have to intake so much to get the feeling your looking for and it totally fucks your liver up, i don't drink i had got really sick once and started puking and passed out... but it must be ok cuz it's legal, but pots evil and kills you, thats the kinda shit the DEA says, there all full of lies dont believe ANYTHING they say, they'll go to any length to get one more drone in this so called "free" country.
