 debbyski says: Well folks, I've tired it and I didn't like it, so that probably makes me unpopular among the pot smoking crowd. For many years I didn't drink any alcohol either, so this clip isn't personal at all. I guess I realize the need for many to tune out with something whether it be sex, television, food, alcohol or weed. I think we are losing the war on drugs although I don't think that particular war has been mentioned for the past 8 years. hookah-tastic? I like it I like it! I'm a pot smoker. been smoking it for many years. It effects people in different ways ya know. Some smoke it and can't say their ABC's, can't drive a car (that's scary!) Some get all serious about stuff. Some just get just silly. For me it enhances my creative side, helps keep me focused and has calmed the anxiety problems I USED to have. Plus I'm a singer songwriter and if memory serves me correct, it's mandatory in the Songwriters S.O.P.  I have but one thing to say about smoking pot........... it's hookah-tastic! Legalization of pot will be a bigger victory for society as a whole than most people apparently realize. Abraham Lincoln said something like 'A prohibition law goes against the very tenets upon which this country was founded' I agree. This is basic civics. It is partially the inherently repressive nature of laws like this and Prop. 8 that keep our country from moving forward as the example of common sense we can afford to be. Not adhering to the Geneva Convention doesn't help, either. A bad law hurts us all--whether you 'like pot' or not. Thanks, Debbyski! The Prohibition Era was a big waste of lives, energy, and resources for the country. Now everyone can have a drink after work without being labeled a criminal. Looks like we haven't learned from that lesson yet. It's heartbreaking to see kids go to prison over a few ounces of weed. Some lose their ability to qualify for scholarships, their ability to get a job that requires any kind of certification, their ability to vote, their driver's license, and their ability to leave the country. We're begging people to take it easy on drugs and go to college, etc., and build a life for themselves. But if we catch them, we do everything in the law's power to prevent them from ever living a better life. All because some get-tough-on-crime hardheart thought he'd teach them a lesson they wouldn't forget. He'll think it's good until it's his own child who gets his dreams crushed - then it looks mighty different. I don't like weed either... but I do think it's silly that it's illegal. I don't think the liquor business will ever be in support of it. They enjoy being the only legal high in the game. They definitely do not want to share profits. Why go to a bar and spend the next day with a hangover when you could go to a coffee shop and spend a relaxing evening and wake up fine the next morning? We arrest over 800,000 Americans a year for pot. Most are "busted" with a very small amount. Cannot imagine how much money it costs to investigate, arrest, take to trial, jail, probation, parole and "rehabilitate" the now unemployed pot smokers. Billions I'm sure. Add to the monitoring of millions of square miles of cropland and narc programs, you begin to see how futile it is. Pot funds much of the major crime syndicates in America, other drugs play a large role too. As well as prostitution. So, the smoker is criminalized, criminals get rich and the government gets more tax money and grow and grows. Outlawing a natural product is insanity. As to which corporation will fight this,... Really great comments and I agree with all in one way or another, I am a weed advocate so I look forward to one day smoking it legally. I just hope I live that long. In the meantime?? I will continue to enjoy it illegally! I guess we have to look at ourselves like they viewed themselves back during prohibition going to a speakeasy. I guess we have to look at ourselves like they viewed themselves back during prohibition going to a speakeasy.You should do research on what happened when marijuana was made illegal in this country. The propaganda is just priceless! But, what isn't funny is that pot was criminalized right after prohibition was repealed. The former federal & state law enforcement who would have (and should have) lost their jobs once alcohol was no longer illegal were quickly moved to enforcing the newly enacted marijuana laws. Over 50,000 doctors marched on Washington because even then they knew that pot was medicinal and not just to get high. They were quickly disbanded when the Surge... I smoked in my college days, but gave it up when I was diagnosed with athsma. Now I could probably tolerate it but can't afford to buy. I hear tell one could buy pot in the drugstore up until 1937 and it was a kinda medicinal cure all for all ailments including depression. Does anybody know anything about that? |
