Do some research on why it became a controlled substance. You may be suprised, that is if you don't already know why.

Nope. The U S gov said it made black men s e x starved/crazy and made them want to hunt down and molest white women. Do the research, not trying to start anything just stating facts.

pretty sure all of that ****, just like the "reefer madness" films were all a result of the lumber/paper/textile/oil industries lobbying against the commercial use of Hemp.

It's absolutely insane to watch those old videos though, the level of deception and mind control antics make me feel like i'm in Korea or someshiz.

Actually, the reason pot was initially made illegal is due to illegal immigration. Just as today, back then it was perceived that there was an illegal Mexican immigration problem, and marijuana was viewed as a 'Mexican drug'. It was thought that if we outlawed marijuana, Mexicans would no longer want to come here.

The really strange part of the story is HOW is was made illegal. Hint: related to the Thompson submachine gun. If you know who Sam Caldwell is, then you know the real story.

Its quite an interesting tale of our government/politicians using less than honest means in order to do what it felt it had to for the best of the population.

MDMA and i would say the vast majority of controlled substances are illegal do to the government needing to control something. heck a lot of these things were used by the government at some point in our past. MDMA is one of the only substances that is truly non-lethal. even vitamin C has a 'lethal dosage'

I'm pro-legalization, but much like tobacco, I would never do it myself. My opinion on that is that, while it may not be as bad as it was marketed, it is still chock full of carcinogens, as well as tar, and the chemicals that alter your mind and impair memory and senses. So I don't think it is in any way good for you. A lot of biased studies like to pretend it is, but the real science shows the truth. Just my opinion, don't rip me apart guys. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

do you do any 'thrill seeking' rock climbing, parachuting, drag racing, heck even energy drinks and coffee. these things actually get you high. and honestly if your careful, a lot of the controlled substances have a lot more control to them and can be a lot safer then the mentioned activities. for example, street racing would be real comparable to a noob O.D.ing on some smack cut crystal.

the bad part now is that when they are illegal people cut them with dangerous chemicals to make the product stretch farther.

most of those down sides can be easily eliminated by using a vaporizer or eating it.

Agreed though, it should be legal and people should be allowed to make their own choices and decisions.

That's probably true then. The government wouldn't lie.... though actually I believe that's the line of propaganda they used against cocaine.

Welcome back!

These sort of things have typically a few angles. First and foremost, the people in power don't give a rats arse about "the masses" after election day except for making sure they have enough of a police state/controll system to protect themselves from those masses. To think that any of these nanny-state laws have anything to do with "keeping us safe" flies in the face of all evidence and reality. Those lines are good for getting the easily manipulated masses and rabble behind a cause, but at the end of the day, these people care only about power (or money, which is power in the abstract).

I have always suspected, though I haven't looked into it much since I don't care, that alcohol prohibition had more to do with the oil interests. Looking at the time period and the growth of the automobile industry, if you're sitting on a million acres of oil wells and fefining infrestructure, do you want people running their car with something that any farmer can make at home, or with your oil?

Anyway, there's plenty of industries that are threatened by legal hemp, including big pharma, lumber, paper, chemical, oil, liquor, textiles, and more. Not saying I'd smoke the stuff, but it really does have a lot of uses and it's being illegal is completely absurd.

Follow the money. What the history books show us are a bunch of demonstraters and do-gooders, but they NEVER seem to explain who is financing these people. It's a little discussed fact that people who spend their days marching in the streets, demonstrating, and rabble rousing don't have jobs.
