A drunk will barge through a stop sign. A stoner will sit there for 10 minutes waiting for it to turn green.

what is texas law on MARIJUNNA

[questionnews]

How often do you hear about somebody getting drunk, going home and beating or shooting the wife? Fairly common as far as domestic violence goes.
How often do you hear about somebody smoking dope, going home and beating or shooting the wife? Hardly ever!!
They might go home & forget to shoot the wife because they are so focused on grabbing a bowl of Captain Crunch, hitting the couch to watch South Park.

Opposing the what?...Anyways..


I''ll always be for the legalisation of marijuana, no matter what.

If people can buy alcohol, and cigarettes, which are proven killers and pot has never been linked to any deaths, then pot should be available as well.

If God put it on this earth, he did so for a reason.
And we should have equal access to it.

If it is ever decriminalized nationally, I am making a run to the local hydroponics equipment dealer.

After Vote To Decriminalize Pot, Now What?


Poptarts & Pringles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

honestabe8 yongamerica;

You are both right. For Hearst, that was back in the late 1800''s. And for the alcohol crowd, that was back in the early 1900''s. And pretty much thru to the 50''s and 60''s.

But today, it''s big Pharma, that keeps the "push" alive to keep it illegal. Just think what weed would do to Big Pharmas'' bottom line if marijauna was legalized?

No more sales of nausea reducing drugs, no more sales of tranqulizers, no more sales of any drug that helps a patient to eat. Espeacially people with cancer.

Keeping pot illegal, is just one big scam, on the American taxpayer.

BTW, Why do you think that Mass. is the one state on the east coast, to have this on the ballot?

Do you think that because Ted Kennedy has been ill, had anything to do with it?

I''m sure it does........

[honestabe8]

"But opponents, led by the district attorneys, had warned the measure could lead to more drug abuse among young people. They said marijuana is a gateway to harder drugs and said the marijuana available on the streets today is more potent than pot three decades ago."

This is the same Reefer Madness scare tactics they have been using forever. I am glad that the voters saw through it and perhaps when these DA pukes run for office, kick them to the curb.

[honestabe8]

yongamerica: I don''t know that I agree with your assessment of the reason that pot is illegal. It wasn''t the alcohol lobby (although they continue it). It was Hearst who didn''t want to compete with hemp, it was Anslinger who wanted to have inactive prohibition agents to have something to do so he made up a scare. Now, the alcohol pushers just do not want to compete with home grown pot.

[yongamerica]

Marijuana was made illegal by the pushing of the alcohol lobbyists couple with the scare that smoking it would make white children dance like black people. Reefer Madness.

It''s time the nation has a much more realistic view of the recreational use of Marijuana and recognize its significance in shaping the culture of generations.

Too many brilliant people contributing to society have had to suffer the stigmas associated with having to break a stupid law because they refuse to bend their values.
