Correct, and they are right about how just starting to use it can fuck your life up because of being around people who use/deal other drugs and participate in "criminal" activity.

The drug isn't the problem, the people are.

^It's always the people....fuckin' people.

You know, that would not surprise me.
Do you know when this was?

[KidoftheBlackHole]

In the 50's I would assume.

Communists are only allowed a dime bag a year though.

No, that is not why it was made illegal.

[KidoftheBlackHole]

I guess it isn't. I remember someone saying that but it dosn't appear to be true. I guess it was made illegal more or less because hemp was a cheaper alternative to cotton and was causing cotton to lose business and money. So they were behind much of the propoganda and lobbying to make it illegal.

Actually I'm sure that they used communism in the propaganda to get it to be illegal but that was just one of many reasons they used.

they really should just make the hippy grass legal...I don't even wanna think about the billions of tax dollars spent on 'criminals' who sit around eating pizza and getting high. If anything they help keep the fast food chains up and running.

WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT.
in canada everyone smokes weed and all we get is a stupid accent haha...
oh and
"Nearly 2 million teens felt depressed over the past year" HAHAHAHA, teenagers are always full of angst and depression(for the most part).
still look at al lthe positive effect of weed (and i dont even smoek it anymore so im not bias really).
