Our society is regulated by moronic laws that limit basic human rights (yes I'm talking mainly about pot...big suprise huh?). And now business and the almighty $$$ have killed our evolutionary process. So I propose that all politicians, CEO's, looney dictators, and anyone who watches American Idol be force fed a "heroic dose" of psilocybin mushrooms. And if I ruled the world, I would make this happen because Darwin was mostly right, my God's a woman, and she wants me to contact our alien ancestry. Join me.
LOL!!!!! Your stuff strangely makes sense, IYT, IYT, IYT. That means, either you are crazy...or the stuff I smoked and did in the 70's was the best EVER!!!!
Seriously, the almighty dollar is behind the denial of legalizing pot in this nation and it always has been.... :icon_evil:
The almighty dollar is behind everything that we are allowed to do. :rant:
And God wept...

Nevada takes the lead in common sense...finally. I wonder if Mr. Ben Franklin will let this happen.
I have a question regarding this...
In California, marijuana use and cultivation is legal for medicinal purposes. A doctor issues his patient w/a RX card that the person keeps with him/her and that allows them to purchase it at "clubs" (specific stores) and if caught w/the marijuana up to the legal limit, the person can't be prosecuted for it. Recently (late last year I think), the Supreme Court upheld the federal ban on medical marijuana. Down went the clubs . . . although I think they have returned, perhaps due to an appeal? Not sure and I'd need to research that, but...
How will Nevada get around that? or is it a matter of not really "legalizing" it, but just raising the limit of what would be considered punishable?
Probably the latter, but I'm not sure. The article says " A coalition of religious leaders made a moral case Tuesday for legalizing the sale and possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana for adults." I just like the fact that it's religious leaders calling for this. Hopefully this will have a domino effect and we will soon be hearing Southern Baptist Preachers proclaiming "I think what God meant to say was that marijuana is from the Earth as are we, and we have been very hypocritical towards our earthly brethren." Or something.

Logic!!!
I wish it was legal cause I could sure use some right now! :yes:
I was lost deep in thought last night when I had a futtin'(fuckin) idea. If potheads are serious about getting the stuff legalized, they need to become more proactive. For example, potheads often gather and have peaceful protests and try to show how illogical marijuana legislation is. Well, this obviously isn't working. What if somehow, potheads got motivated and instead of having these peaceful protests, they gathered and did community service, completely voluntarily. And not just one or two days out of the year but on a regular basis. Show the ignorant that pot doesn't destroy everyone's motivation and that people can still smoke pot and be beneficial to society. I talkin' about a large scale movement across the country that realistically will never happen because most potheads don't really care if it's legal or not because most have never been to jail and also it's very easy to get as it is being illegal. Plus it seems money is more important that community service so I just wasted alot of brain power.
I think the only legalized way that you will see marijuana used (or at least a form of marijuana) is in the drug Marinol or some other marijuana based pill. I used to work in a pharmacy and we dispensed that to glaucoma and cancer patients. The one thing I never understood was the fact that the government allowed the pharmaceutical companies to make this drug for medicinal purposes, but they won't legalize it for that purpose. By allowing the manufacturing of Marinol, they are basically admitting that it has medicinal purposes. I would guess it has something to do with being able to control how much of it is sold, but they could do that with regular marijuana also. I really don't know! :confused:

Maybe if this is perfected, voters could use it when the researches are conducting polls to teleport their elected officials to parts unknown when they start doing a bad job....... :o
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races."
"Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death."
"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."
"Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing"
"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."
"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."
All quotes by Harry J. Anslinger, director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930. I think the last quote illustrates how outdated and irrelevant some of our laws are.
Quotewho do you think bought the government to get rid of marijuana and replace it with their drug?
"Hearst and Anslinger were then supported by Dupont chemical company and various pharmaceutical companies in the effort to outlaw cannabis. Dupont had patented nylon, and wanted hemp removed as competition. The pharmaceutical companies could neither identify nor standardize cannabis dosages, and besides, with cannabis, folks could grow their own medicine and not have to purchase it from large companies."

waiting for husband to go to work so I can take off the headsets....ROFLMAO!!!
This guy is better than good and great!!!! He's a cut above Carlin!!!! Man, what a sad tragedy to lose him....Is this kid not a long lost brother, I ask? MAn!!! Thanks for introducing him to me....you all need to get this guy's CD. He is great and if it's one thing we all need....it's laughter!!!!
Not a long lost brother, although he was born in my hometown. If you are considering buying another CD, Arizona Bay is a classic. Alot of politics and religion on that one. It even inspired a song that won a grammy.
I'll order it tonite....still have "Philosphy" coming...man, he is so great....and born in your hometown...they apparently make great thinkers....present company included....he's quite the musician, too....
Again, I'd recommend him to everyone who needs laughter through these crazy times...

I don't think "pot users" would ever revolt. As someone said they are really laid back. I do not use , but I have to admit I have used when I was very young. I never cared much for it, but lots of people do.
I am always suprised when I find another friend who "tokes" a little. These are professional people that no one would ever dream of.
I think POT is a very soft drug, if we can even apply that term. I have never been hurt or abused by anyone who smoked pot. It is the hard core drugs that people use that are a danger.
I think we need to help them as opposed to putting them in jail. There would be a much lower crime rate and we would not have to build so many new prisons... our tax dollars at work.
as for pot.. I don't believe a word about it being a Bad Thing" I know too many people who smoke it.
If i could read the future I would say that pot will become legal.. I am just not sure i will live that long.

Yes, that is true. I, too, am often surprised when I find that I have colleagues in my profession who smoke. I don't think that there's anything wrong with it at all. I'd rather be around a pothead than an alcoholic. That being said, I would much prefer to smoke marijuana than drink alcohol. I have never had a hangover from pot, I've never gone out and tried to play evel kneivel with my car on pot, and I am a lover, not a fighter when smoking the greens.
Yep, I agree.. pot is better than alcohol everytime.
228 hits total....more than anyone on here....

I am SO enjoying those CDs of his Ihave, IYT IYT IYT...thanks so much !!! It sure got me through last night's elections results....LOL!!!
You're very welcome. YouTube is a good place to check out some of his stand up performances that were filmed. It's free and just as enjoyable, although the picture quality is somewhat compromised.
The measure to legalize pot in Nevada was defeated 56% to 44%. While I am saddened by this, 44% is a step in the right direction.
