All opinions provided by the pro recreational use crowd, nothing more.

Thanks guys for an enjoyable weekend. I haven't wasted that much time in quite awhile. You should learn to find a release without drug use. It will serve you well.

And you should go find a clue.

And sleeping better. Oh and finding funny movies even funnier. I tell ya, what a terrible DRUG!

Ferns would be considered a drug if the government said so...which is absolutely ridiculous. They both grow from the dirt, it just so happens that people tried to smoke one of them and it made them feel good lol.

1930s

Fear of marijuana

"During the Great Depression, massive unemployment increased public resentment and fear of Mexican immigrants, escalating public and governmental concern about the problem of marijuana. This instigated a flurry of research which linked the use of marijuana with violence, crime and other socially deviant behaviors, primarily committed by "racially inferior" or underclass communities. By 1931, 29 states had outlawed marijuana."

Sound familiar? The people that still think this way, probably hold alot of the same views.


"In 1619 the Virginia Assembly passed legislation requiring every farmer to grow hemp. Hemp was allowed to be exchanged as legal tender in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland.

Domestic production flourished until after the Civil War, when imports and other domestic materials replaced hemp for many purposes. In the late nineteenth century, marijuana became a popular ingredient in many medicinal products and was sold openly in public pharmacies."

I wonder what changed?

That about covers it. I'd add early pharmaceuticals wanted all the med money and didn't want to lose any to just any farmer who could grow pot easily. It's a combo power/money thing. Planting the fear brings both.

So stoners are in pain or need weed for medicinal purposes or just piggybacking any excuse to justify getting high?

Not all people who smoke claim to use it for medical reasons, and there really is nothing wrong with that imo. People drink to get a alcohol buzz and smoke nasty cigs to get a nicotine buzz. What's wrong with smoking marijuana for a marijuana buzz? Because the govt said so and is controlling your mind? Even though everyone with a brain knows marijuana is far less dangerous and less harmful.


Do you drink, cc? Just curious.

Weed should be decriminalized but not legalized, we've got enough wasters to deal with as it is!

Of course he does. Frankly it's not any of his business what stoners do or why they get high. Just like it's none of my business what he does with his life.

Some people just can't get over letting people control their own life.

I don't use ANY biased study or medical claims to justify why I might drink a few beers. I don't know anyone that smokes weed that JUST SMOKES WEED.

Do what you can afford. Take your chances and live with consequences and stop crying.

Sounds like you are the one crying about stoners wanting to get stoned. I'm advocating for more freedoms, while you make it painfully obvious how little interaction you have had with people outside of your tiny town.

If getting high is a paramount freedom for you then it's obvious how ignorant you are. Get high, nobody cares. Deal with the consequences when you get caught. Stop crying all the time.

So just because you dont know anyone means that 100% of all people fit in to this category.


Such a simple mind you have.
