I thought of some reasons why marijuana is illegal...
1. An excuse to keep a powerful Police State, give more power to the government and thus control over the masses in all other areas of life.
2. To keep alternative medicines out of the hands of the masses and to keep Big Pharma more profitable.
3. Marijuana mellows the masses from working too hard, makes them more peaceful, and gives them ideas about how they are being oppressed (alcohol and cigarettes make the masses work harder, create more conflict, and cope with being oppressed).
4. An excuse to keep Hemp from being used in place of the patented profit making textiles and petroleum based products like plastics created by Big Oil.
5. To keep the "peace movement" from gaining ground. War and conflict is much more profitable.
no, none of the reason you mentioned - we have enough idiots driving drunken because of alcohol abuse, do you want to have more cretins on the road?
The problem is humans cannot be trusted and be responsible, 90% are imbeciles so we have to keep the law tight.
that sounds great in theory - in practice not so much.
Same like everybody should have equal public and voting rights, yeah right...because of that we have what we have in states today. Idiots in government.
everyone is not like you and cannot be trusted to make the right decisions. people start to take things sometimes without knowing the consequences of their actions until it's too late. not everyone googles the dangers or benefits of things, 'they just do' because they see others doing things so they think it's ok. there have been times when I was getting ready to do something only to find that it may not be in my best interest so i was stopped and glad i was. we are not privy to all the information out there about things and substances, so it is best sometimes to have regulators. you say you want to make your own decisions..fine. what about a man that says he desires to kill, should we allow him to make his own decisions? if we let you make all of your own decisions then we would have to do it for all because that is only fair. letting everyone make their own decisions is catastrophic imo.
79767 everybody does make their own decisions anyway. They also must accept the consequences of those decisions. If a person wants to kill another being, decides to kill another being, they will, there is nothing you can do. As a society all that can be done is punishment after the act, hoping that this will deter others from making the same decision.
Laws do not give people morals, moral behaviour comes from an individuals own conscience.
Alcohol is a 'legal' drug, but I choose not to abuse it because the health effects of doing this, are not in my best interest.
The law of modern government is secular and it is good.It is not liked by the sub-culture that likes to bitch wine and moan about it.Drugs are for dummies and the zone is full of self grander and delusion.Drug on and be well.Now where did I put my bong?
the reason alcohol is more dangerous is because it's legal and people abuse it, just the point we've been trying to make. now you make mj legal and see what happens to these irresponsible ppl. you have to keep a tight reign over folks, they are worse than kids sometimes.
>- Drugs/recreational are for dummies and there legal status is a mute point.
False: While I am not promoting the use of drugs for recreational purposes, it is a RIGHT
#1 Religeous: Almost every religion states that "our creator gave us the right to use the herbs of the earth for our own benefit"
#2 Historical: "Grandfather clause" Humans have had the usage of all the herbs of the earth since their existance and this has not been suppressed until the 20th century police state establishment.
#3 Constitutional ( in the US ) The 9th Amendment has been shown to provide clear definition of individual rights, especially the right to make personal private choices as well as the rights of liberty and of the pursuit of happiness.
Alcohol is legal and is far worse than marijuana according to many scientific studies. Even coffee causes a number of driving accidents each year although it is seldom reported as a factor. Heavy coffee drinkers are more likely to weave in and out of trafic during rush hour.
As for dummies, several of our founding fathers used not only marijuana but also opium and some even used cocain. This is a main reason that the 9th Amendment was included in the Constitution.
From appearances, your claims are based prejudice, lack of knowlege and understanding, and a lack of concerns for the rights of others.
"... all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "
The rights of an individual end when they impose on the rights of someone else. The use of marijuana does not directly impose on the rights of others. For this reason, it is constitutionally leagl in the US.
All of that aside, I do not promote the frequent use of marijuana because I believe that people should be productive and marijuana can interfer with that. Otherwise, we all need to take additional vacations and how else can you take a trip without leaving the farm. Personally, I would rather travel, see and do things
Thanks for proving my point'dummy'.All those positions have been tried in the courts and they did not work.Still illegal and still used by dummies across the globe.Funny though especially the caffeine weaving and religion condoning being enslaved to a plant.No liberty in addiction and lacking happiness.
Sorry, none of this proves your point, which is ignorance IMHO. Name calling is inflamatory and not allowed on these forums.
>- All those positions have been tried in the courts and they did not work.
Actually, you are misled. There have been cases won but are often not publicised. It is legal for certain religeous followers to use peyote and/or mescaline. This is basically kept from the public. Also, just because a court says so, does not make the court right either way. There have been court decisions passed that defy the constitution because of either personal or political agendas. Additionally, those who failed, just hired the wrong lawyers. Only 1 to 2 percent of attorneys in the US is capable of handling a constitutionally based case.
>- Still illegal and still used by dummies across the globe.
Sorry, not illegal everywhere. There are even dumber people who do not use some of these things. I have known drunken rednecks who killed or injured people driving intoxicated. They are right there with you and their opinions are definitely based on ignorance.
>- Funny though especially the caffeine weaving
There is nothing funny about it when innocent people die to something like this. Caffein can be just as addictive and dangerous as some other drugs. For you to deny it is a sign of pure ignorance.
>- and religion condoning being enslaved to a plant.
This is another perfect example of ignorance. There are many people who have used marijuana and do not get addicted. Actually, very few get addicted, but I do know one person who probvably was addicted. It is less addictive than caffein. Apparantly, all you do is read 100 year old propoganga.
>- No liberty in addiction and lacking happiness.
There are sugar addicts, sex addicts, gambling addicts, tobacco addicts, food addicts, pornography addicts, computer addicts, video game addicts, work addicts, exercise addicts, tv addicts, alcohol addicts, caffein addicts, popcorn addicts, and even cinnamon addicts and clove addicts according to the FDA and other government agencies.
What you and some others do not get, is that it is not necessarily the substance, it is the individuals that have what is known as an addictive personality effect. Their addiction just happens to be the substance of preoccupation of their choice. Yes, some substances such as heroin are more addictive due to their nature, but even then, not everyone who uses them gets addicted.
Over 50 percent (60 percent according to some sources ) of the US population has tried matijuana, so what percentage is addicted? What percentage of these is unhappy?
Regardless of what you want, and regardless of what the courts say, we have certain un-alienable rights and that includes the right to choose our path through life as long as we do not deny someone else of their rights in the process. This is known as free-will and is God given.
"Name calling is inflamatory and not allowed on these forums."
Don't take it personal. Check this person's posting history and you will soon see they attempt to share a brain cell with a couple more similar angry and dysfunctional posters.
>- Check this person's posting history and you will soon see they attempt to share a brain cell with a couple more similar angry and dysfunctional posters.
Thanks, My point exactly. When all a person can offer is little or nothing substantially, they resort to name calling as a last feeble resort.
To agree or disagree is a right, a part of the right to choose. To call names or otherwise inflame is not a right because it is injurious to others. Ones rights end when they trespass on the rights of another.
"Thanks for proving my point'dummy'."
The only one in this thread that ever promotes anything from a "dummy point of view" is ironically dependent on a narrow, limiting belief in an invisible being. The irony really ramps up when one considers that the same person enjoys a freedom to have a psychotic belief in an invisible guy in the sky yet mocks anyone else who should be guaranteed their own personal freedoms as well.
