Marijuana

[hammondjam]

Smoking marijuana is illegal and will get your  freedom, home and all other possessions taken away but polluting the gulf coast and ruining the economy of an already negatively affected area will get you leniancy from the government and many minutes to spin your lies on national television.

I smell chikkin!

[Sir Jeffrey]

Not Chikkin ::O: ::O: ::O:

[Whoo]

Well, hopefully the California initiative will pass and show not only the economic benefit of legalization, but also that people smoke, work, pay their taxes and decline a life of crime in the process. 8)

 :-\  i thought that hemp and thc containing marijuana were not the same thing. am i wrong?

(google, here i come...)

[Mr T]

We're not allowed to grow hemp, either.  We are allowed to purchase many many things made of or from hemp, but we import it from Canada and China and France.  Boy, are we dumb! ::D:

I was just reading the warnings in a magazine on a LEGAL drug (antidepressant) and along with the usual stuff about suicide and violence and nausea/vomiting/diarrhea/dizziness etc etc, it warned of glaucoma and a rise in the bad cholesterol levels (don't worry - they have other drugs for these side effects.)  The absolute kicker was warning of coma - call your doctor immediately if you experience coma!!

How??

Tell me again why marijuana is illegal? 

[Sir Jeffrey]

Because the drug companies cannot make money, oops, you already knew the answer, lol

[Mr T]

You'll have to speak up - I am experiencing coma and palpitations and vertigo.   ::D:

[Whoo]

 ;D

I think we'd have alot less violence in the world if more people smoked. ;)

That's one of the keys to the whole problem. A lot of people think that it's pot smokers that kick in doors to get money for a "fix". Anybody that knows ANYTHING about the effects of pot knows that is complete BS. Now...if it's hydrocodone or methamphetamines, that's quite a different story. I've seen people do and say bizzare things and completely turn on their best friends because they're out of chemical drugs. The difference is addiction. Chemical drugs addict and pot doesn't. If pot did, I'd be in rehab a long time ago.

One of the other keys to getting this stuff made legal is to stop using the stereotypical stoner as the model for ALL smokers. Those type of people make up only a small percentge of users and they'd just find something else to modify their brain with if they couldn't get pot. Considering the alternatives, I'd rather that potheads have pot.

Basically, what I'm saying is that I want some REAL education so people aren't going on some lie from the government to form their opinion. The main difference between people that KNOW about marijuana and like to use it and people that want it kept illegal is the users DON'T require that EVERYBODY use it.  ::;:

I've never seen a pot smoker get high and fly into a rage.... forget what i'm talkin about sure.. ;D

[hammondjam]

Forgetting, rambling on and, slurring and fighting for no real reason can all be had by various forms of alchohol but THAT'S legal. Rampant grinning, munchies and long stories with no end seem to be the worst that pot smokers experience.

I like how the song celebrates both freedom and the use of corn liquor but yet proudly proclaims it's distaste for marijuana. I'm thinking that the residents of Muskogee might not have such a rigid stance against it NOW since OTHER things have obviously changed. Speaking of change...

I see our intrepid law enforcement has found and destroyed $3,500,000.00 worth of marijuana plants!  What a good idea.  We sure don't need any tax income in this state.  We would just spend it on stupid stuff like health care and the elderly.

The elderly are very expensive.  When are we going to get those Death Panels going?
