An Idea Of why Marijauana Is Illegal

[Warhead5654]

I realized that, even if the goverment Legalizes pot, they would not want to expose the public to it openly, like smoking, they have commercials against it, alcohol they have commercials against it, they would even have commercials against pot too! i'm in the wrong state to be typing right now, i'll look into this later.

I bet plenty of people would smoke it anyway.

I want To capitalize random Words too Because I don't Speak english well and/Or I'm pretending To be german!

I have a question: Is the DARE programm also taking sides against alcohol and tobacco or just against weed? If not, then I'm perfectly enabled to call them all a bunch of hypocrites!

 

[Warhead5654]

I'm half Ger- Half Nish, i don't know how that happened

 

[Warhead5654]

Also, if pot was legal, it would still be illegal to grow your own crop!

they Want peoples dollars to go their coffers, if everybody wants to spark. but i say good luck to that one.

Distilling alcohol at home is illegal.

But the Sam Adams guy encourages all his employees to do it!

I'm a German who is pretending to be an American.
Also, Warhead already said that he isn't right now in the state of dealing with this kind of stuff anyway, so let him be.

 

[Warhead5654]

I had one puff too much.


Well i Gotta go, just exposing to you why pot cannot be legalized, until these issues are solved.

As a person who actually went through the dare program in elementary school, yes. They emphasized not drinking or smoking as much as marijuana, as well as other drugs like uppers and downers, in particular stuff like huffing paint. They also taught us about things like resolving things with non-violence, how it's bad to spray graffiti (I remember that part because in the book they gave us it had an illustration of some cretinous kid with a shaved head holding out a can of spraypaint, and then some kid in the class yelled out "Why is this kid bald? Does he have cancer?" True story), and other such good citizenship qualities.

So no, it wasn't an enormous campaign against weed exclusively, at least when I went through it 7-8 years ago.

 

[eastsidebagel]

Common thought 101: Never ask a skinhead if he's bald from cancer!

Alcohol - legal
tobacco - legal
reefer - illegal

Where is the confusion? No hypocrisy.

IIRC

Home distilling became legal in 1994.

Hard liquor is a different story.

I'm sure it would be sold in as many varieties as it's consumed. In packs of joints, baked into things, or just in big pieces like pipe tobacco is sold in.

I just don't know if Marlboro would be able to pull it off.

Nowadays a lot of marijuana smokers in the U.S. are used to smoking very high grade stuff. This is because a good portion of today's weed is grown indoors with advanced growing techniques and hydroponic growing systems.

If Marlboro were to break into the marijuana market, they'd need to satisfy their customers by turning out some real high-quality stuff. They also wouldn't be able to get away with adding anything to it, since there's no way anyone who currently smokes would tolerate that either.

I just don't think they'd be up to the task, given what they do with their tobacco.

 

[Elta]

*distillation and fermentation are different

Yes home distillation is illegal.

Alcohol - legal

So we're admitting that DARE is simply propaganda of the lowest sort?

It's a hell of a hypocrisy! Because tobacco and alcohol, the "government-approved" drugs, are just more harmful and even deadly than weed ever could be!

 

[Sharwood]

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why marijuana cannot be contained, cultivated and taxed, the exact same as any other substance. Hell, it's been done before, albeit on a smaller scale than would be necessary now.

 

[Bllasae]

Drugs are bad. M'kay?

Yeah, seriously. Name one good, legal, thing that it's good for?
