So, get this!!!!

punkncat, searched your post, but holy crap you start a lot of threads...I cant seem to find it. I really like some of your creative titles...."I smoke lots of crack...." lol

obscure.m925, do you feel sympathy for the thousands of people who die every year from smoking related cancers? The effects are well known, as well as the fact that nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs on the planet, but yet our government doesnt do anything about it, and instead chooses to make billions every year taxing a product that is deadly and highly addictive. I guess what I'm getting at here is just because something is legal or illegal doesnt make it right or wrong.

Weed is schedule 1, which means it supposedly has NO medical uses what so ever, but yet some states issue medical marijuana certificates and stamps.....I would call that a huge contradiction. The fact that pharmaceutical drugs(such as Marinol or Dronabinol) and made specifically to imitate a drug which supposedly has no medical uses is also a huge contradiction.

IMO what it comes down to is weed is extremely easy to cultivate, so drug companies would lose millions of dollars in sales since the patient(or anyone) could easily grow their own supply in their back yard. Since the pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest industries in the US, they have plenty of political clout, so passing a law legalizing weed in any form(medical or not) is almost impossible....for now.


as for the car thing, its illegal to drink then hop in a car....but its not illegal to drink. So DUI has nothing to do with the legality of weed.

But the reason they are illegal is because Nixon wanted to controll the hippie, anti-war movement. I think its obvious that pot is not whats wrong with America.

You are way off on that one. Way off.

Could you explain why it is illegal?(not trying to be sarcastic)

[SUB-MOA]

Let me get this straight, you're pissed because YOU broke the law, regarding a well known Controlled substance, and now you can't drive?


I forgot that having a driver's license is a right.

Heck, why don't you just drive WITHOUT a license? Your regard for the law didn't stop you from smoking dope and hopping on a bike.

no hes pissed because he was informed he had one sentence when her really had one that was twice as long.....I dont see anywhere in punkncat's post where he complains about his original sentence. Did you even read the post or just the first line where he said he was convicted of marijuana possession???

[kosmo]

Its a grand tale involving Mormons, assassins, Pancho Villa, a newspaper magnate, and musicians that I really dont have time to tell. Google it.

most of the time a conversation works better if you use coherent sentences. Or explain what it is your steps are for....I could give you great directions for making food, but unless I tell you what its for, its useless.

I just did. Its funny how all those reasons seem to come right back to hatred of Mexicans or love of money and have nothing to do with the actual effects of the drug. I had never bothered to look up the history of it be4, thanks....

for anyone that wants an interesting read: http://blogs.salon.com/0002762/stori...naIllegal.html There is a video at the bottom that summarizes, but the text was more interesting.



SUB-MOA- I was reading what you said as "severe sentence period".....thats why it didnt make sense to me....sorry. Even still this is the friendly corner, if punkncat feels like talking about this then why shouldn't he? maybe someone has been through a similar situation and can help him out with info.

He's already lost a foot, and that in itself is terrible and believe me, I wish he still had it. I've been on AO here and there just as long as he has been,and I like him a lot. I don't take any pleasure in his discomfort.

[Warwitch]

But I believe drugs are illegal for some very good reasons.

'nuff said.

Oh yeah, and Nixon did start the war on drugs. Go look it up SUB.

[kosmo]

Sub didnt say anything about that, I did. And I didnt say Nixon didnt start the war on drugs. I said he didnt make weed illegal, because he didnt.

Obscure, there are no good reasons why weed is illegal.
