they already have weed in a pill – marinol
Those who support drug prohibition are unwittingly (or wittingly) supporting terrorism, organized crime, bribery, police & government corruption, etc. This must be made clear.
@ThePlatinumlich I used to. Does that still count?
this from the pack a day smoker that only just quit for the upcoming election.
well thc to be exact
I feel like, in a saner society; smoking marijuana would not be on the minds of many people. I feel like more people would focus on Hemp Plastic, Clothing, Oils, etc.
Obama Administration is a patsy for Big Bizness. No surprise there.
@AnnRKey
thank you 🙂
I know that reason and logic are lost in politics, but I still don’t understand how anyone can justify making any kind of drug illegal in the United States of America. We’re founded on individual rights and freedom to choose.
The government doesnt want people getting high off drugs like pot. Any drug with psychedelic properties, even as light as the effect may be from marijuana, can change perception. Users tend to think more deeply, which might lead people to realize they’re being FUCKED by the rich in this country. But drugs like booze, adderal & Oxy’s just turn you into a drooling fiend, little thought at all.
Hey its the Americans tax, if they want to waste it that is their problem.
the opposite of being high….. is being low.
everyone knows how much fun being low is.
letting some group of talking monkeys tell what you cannot put in your body is akin to them putting what they want in it…
my body my choice….
the reason why we use marijuana is because we dont want to use pills why dont the us understand this the government is trying to kill us they put shit in the pills that kills people, and how can you say something that comes from the ground is not natural its from god fuck u american government and fuck u obama
I’m a pharmacist. They already have a pill form. It’s called Marinol. Used in chemo patients for nausea and pain. Is the new one going to make them high is the question?
Marijuana would cost way to much to these people being legalized.
For profit prisons will have much less inmates = Less government money
Alcohol and Tobacco sales will drastically cut.
Things Marijuana help will beat out other medicines, and you can grow it yourself.
They can’t legalize for recreation then forbid people from growing it, so it would barely make tax revenue.
It’s pretty much …
Money > Freedom
20 dollars a dime, hahahaa
ITS MY FUCKING BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF I WANNA STICK MY DICK IN A TOASTER THAT’S MY FUCKING BUSINESS THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU GO AROUND MAKING TOASTERS ILLEGAL. IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THESE CUNTBAG POLITICIAN TELLING WHAT I CANT AND CAN DO WTF IS THIS HIGH SCHOOL? FUCK ALL YOU POLITICIAN COCKBAGS HOPE ALL OF YOU DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH WHILE I BLOW WEED SMOKE IN YOUR FACE! AND YES IM TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IM MAD. Ok im done venting.
The president has already admitted to smoking weed. Now that he doesn’t do it anymore, he doesn’t want anyone else to. Same with Bristol Palin and her abstinence crusade after her premarital pregnancy. Same Hypocrisy we’ve been seeing for generations.
@ThePlatinumlich I skin-up my medicinal to TYT!
not sure if you will ever read this Ana, but a dime isnt 20 dollars, a dime is 10 dollars. A gram or .8 of a gram is a dub, which is 20 dollars. If marijuana were legal, an illegal market would be non-existant because it would have to compete with the legal market.
