[QUOTE=Sobotnik;48269821]Unfortunately much of it has been. If you read the thread and the original posts and points being made since the first page, you would easily have understood this. It is relatively expensive actually compared to many other crops. It's a big moneymaker however because people enjoy smoking it.[/QUOTE] I've read the thread, don't patronize me. The only things I've found that is easier to grow (properly) than weed are peppers. Theres a news article on front page of SH that proves how easily it grows [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1477052[/url] Not to mention there are news stories of farmers ACCIDENTALLY growing it.
[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;48269879]I've read the thread, don't patronize me.[/quote] Then you would have easily noticed that my post (and the posts I was replying to) all concerned hemp. It's about hemp, and hemp is difficult to grow legally in America. Many people assume that hemp is illegal for financial reasons (i.e it presents competition to paper/etc), when it isn't. It's a niche plant with microscopic profit margins. [quote]The only things I've found that is easier to grow (properly) than weed are peppers.

[QUOTE=GunFox;48261588]It also makes decent cordage[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=QuinnithXD;48262966]Little to no industrial use? Have you heard of hemp string/cloth?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;48263301]Everything you've said is either a symptom of the fact that it's currently illegal in the first place, or an assumption that since it's not superior to something else it wouldn't be used as an alternative. Hemp doesn't need to be superior to alternatives if it can be made cheaper, or in larger quantities, hemp paper might replace or supplement wood paper to help fight deforestation, hemp clothing will no longer be a gimmick and therefore could become cheaper, farmers might not stop growing other crops in favor of growing nothing but pot, but it's something they could grow alongside other crops for supplemental income. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=QuinnithXD;48265695]Ignoring the fact while it was still legal to grow hemp paper and hemp cloth was much cheaper than paying for other types of paper/cloth.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;48261903]Pretty much. Marijuana is the sort of thing that scientific illiterates like to tout as some kind of wondrous thing. In reality it's got some interesting uses, but these are exaggerated or invented a lot of the time.[/QUOTE] idk i still think it's pretty cool and deserving of credit (sometimes more than it gets, sometimes less) i'm just stuck between the "weed is not that great" and the "weed is absolutely fantastic" mentalities because both get twisted and misused by different sides, and even though one side pushes for something i agree with i'd still rather not have misinformed people thinking it's a one off solution to everything for obvious reasons, it's conflicting

[QUOTE=Paramud;48270002]Have you, though?[/QUOTE] you skip the well formulated replies and only reply to the shaky arguments, or you just sit and attack peoples argument technique without putting forward any relevant arguments yourself how do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

Paramud is a chronic shit tier arguer. Marijauna is not a miracle drug that fixes everything, or even anything. That being said, it is a wonderful recreational drug much better than alcohol and has a variety of very helpful and handy side effects for people across many different ailments. Apparently, even acknowledging that it has any benefits what so ever makes you a "420 gj gj" type of person

But they're not better than any other plant with medicinal qualities, and certainly nowhere near miracle plant standards.
[QUOTE=Paramud;48270176]It has benefits. But they're not better than any other plant with medicinal qualities, and certainly nowhere near miracle plant standards.[/QUOTE] A plant doesn't have to be better than other plants with medicinal qualities to be a "miracle plant". Aloe Vera is a "miracle plant" because of it's pain relief and healing properties. Why can't marijuana be a "miracle plant" for its Nausea alleviating, pain relieving, and appetite inducing effects, to name a few?
[QUOTE=Paramud;48270176]It has benefits. But they're not better than any other plant with medicinal qualities, and certainly nowhere near miracle plant standards.[/QUOTE] It's anti nausea elements are better than that of any comparable drug though and with lesser comparative side effects than them as well. It's certainly a higher quality of anti nausea drug, and you're readily saying "no, it's not even "as" good" when that's pretty much factually untrue. I'm not even saying it is "the" best at it, it's just massively better than you're saying it is. I'm not calling it a fucking miracle. It's better than you're saying it is, but I'm not saying it is a fucking miracle plant. [editline]22nd July 2015[/editline] In your effort to stomp out people who call it a miracle, you've gone so far around to the exact antithesis where anyone stating it has any benefits in comparison to anything else are wrong because those benefits to you, are so non existant that you'll dismiss them to further your argument. It's a logical fallacy on either side of the spectrum and you're guilty of it as well.
[QUOTE=isreal?;48269517]Here in Vancouver, the even though it's illegal the police are OK with smoking in public so long as one is being courteous and mindful of smoking bylaws. I went for a walk last night, I smoked my small pipe in public and nobody batted an eye. At least 3 cop cars passed me and did not even say a word as I was being respectful.[/QUOTE] I'd imagine there's a lot less cancerous culture up there than down here, though. Down here, you ain't no thug if you don't smoke the green. The amount of shitbirds and gangsters I hook up down here, barring the homeless, that have pot found by the cops during the patdown is about 70%. Most mild mannered folk here that smoke do it inside.
