Sad that it's actually illegal just due to racism really. What about other countries though?
[QUOTE=Occlusion;29440132]Sad that it's actually illegal just due to racism really. What about other countries though?[/QUOTE] Pretty much illegal everywhere.
I hate living on Planet Earth, knowing that ridiculously stupidly retarded decisions, like banning Marijuana, are being made. If tobacco and alcohol kills so many people all over the world, whereas weed has killed zero people, and tobacco and alcohol are advertised by being incredibly popular in modern culture... where's the sense in that. There is none. No sense. In fact, it's minus sense. The only REAL cancer that exists is Government, attached to the vital organs of society, controlling all of us. We are powerless. Hmm... what would Andrew Ryan do... :allears: I wait anticipatively for the people who rate me what. We will see who's basically too weak to see past Government and it's decisions.
Ban cigarettes, legalise spliffs.
it's illegal because they think that it's a gateway drug, people get used to pot and the effect disappears so they seek out stronger, more dangerous drugs. However, they underestimate the intelligence of many people, crack addicts use crack because they want to use crack, not because they smoked pot. My headmaster shared a story where a school that he used to teach in had an amazing honour student, he got amazing grades and was going to Oxford. however, one day he killed the daughter of the head of art and himself, they blamed in on pot because "it made him edgy" I still fail to see any evidence as to why pot caused that though it's just a bunch of people blaming it because it's a "drug".
Can marijuana cause/promote mental problems? I took a bad hit, and almost 5 months later I still feel distressed.

Sure, its mainly the 1st drug people try in their life but it certainly isnt a gateway into trying other stuff..... What I can tell you now is that Mephedrone/ meow-meow.. now THAT is/was certainly a gateway drug.
[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;29440254]Pretty much illegal everywhere.[/QUOTE] Technically it's illegal in the Netherlands too, but the government runs a Tolerance Policy on soft drugs, so they just don't arrest people for it. Growing marihuana for commercial distribution is still illegal, though. You're allowed to grow a maximum amount of five plants. Anything more than that is not allowed.

I guess the video makes some good points, but saying coffee kills people is just fucking stupid. Edit: Perhaps they meant caffeine? Yes drinking 10 energy drinks every day will probably kill you.

[QUOTE=anarchist;29440508]You mean you hate living in a Western Society..[/QUOTE] No. Planet Earth. This lie has caught on pretty much everywhere. Only recently is it starting to buckle. I think Amsterdam has legalized it, and I'm sure there are one or two other places. I don't really know, I don't bother to research on it. Ignorance is bliss... just like marijuana! Imagine this. Government is a cinder block that was made in India or Africa. It's structural integrity is already poor, but it's all we got to work on. Each cinder block is a department of the Government that tries to build the "orphanage of society". Every crack in each block that appears is corruption, and if you aren't some kind idiot, you'd see it's pretty obvious there's at least SOME corruption in any Government. These cracks keep croping up, and all the builders do (President's, Prime Ministers, bitchslave figureheads) is slather some crappy white paint over the cracks, to hide the corruption from the occupants of the Orphanage. They go about in their daily lives believing and unknowing, until one day, Government gives way, damaging the building, making holes, walls falling down. The "Orphans" inside can get hurt and killed as a result, (wars, torture, etc). So now the Orphanage is in a serious state of disrepair, and as a result, the Orphans grow restless and scared, waiting... Until one day, a brand new system is invented. One that is strong, fair, balanced and planned. The Orphans grow up happy, and they go on to build their lives (evolution of society). I know that paragraph has little to do with the video, but I was feeling quite profound, and angry at the documentary. Times are changing though, for the better. Bitch and whine about what I just said. Cry about it, saying that I'm wrong. I probably am. No one fucking knows except these Governments. They know the true situation, so take your pimple ridden asses down to congress and demand answers instead of playing video games. I will personally donate +1 internet to your bank of "Givafuk" if you do. Ahem... that'l be all
Cause drugs sucks except alcohol =) id like some boxes please

Weed is illegal because the governments are a bunch of no good squares. Legalize, we should be allowed to grow a fucking plant on our properties. Weed hasn't killed anyone, though many have tried suicide by cannabis.
Top rated comment on part 7/7 is painfully true.
the reason it is still legal is the profit motive. the massive and rich tobacco/alchohol companies have lots of money with which they control who gets to the ballot. if we realize that all political canidates are put on the ballot only because the rich allow it (which they are) then we start to see the problem. cannabis is only illegal because it being legal would cut into other peoples profits, nothing more. of course peoples opinions are also swayed by the media which is also controlled by these incredibly wealthy corporations.
Weeds illegal for a reason. If it was legal everyone would be high and there would be way too many car crash's.
[QUOTE=Nathax;29442081]Weeds illegal for a reason. If it was legal everyone would be high and there would be way too many car crash's.[/QUOTE] Alcohol has the same effect yet is is very legal
weed hasn't even be proven to make driving harder what the fuck are you talking about

and the people who call it a "drug" is the media. owned.
guys, I believe that Katt Williams explains our dilemma the best: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWhUqo9Aivs[/media] [editline]26th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Mattk50;29442192]and the people who call it a "drug" is the media. owned.[/QUOTE] I didn't disagree I was just saying why people think that it's bad, the media just fucks shit up and we all know that

It's illegal because it's good and when you're caught with it you're fined. Where does that money go? to the government.
