guy's if gets legallized good for you all, I'd probably even agree with legalization of weed but weed only but as for this thread ...it reads like a bunch of stoned teenagers...good grief, really with all the Willy said and Obama said jabber and OP I thought this was a funny rant but you guys are serious arnt you :shock:
you'll never get anything legalized with arguments like this...I'm getting too old for this shit
Godfather.
Yup, you are.
There are some light-heared posts in this thread, yes...this topic def has an aspect of that to it, always does...and it should!
Willy said/Obama said jabber? Wtf are you talking about? Care to comment directly on what was said, instead of your cowardly little jabs that you can twist when challenged on? YOU, with your comment of support for legalization, while throwing stereotypes at people who do something about it, are the exact hypocrite I mentioned in my previous post.
We read like a bunch of stoned teenagers? Your posts always begin a race to the lowest common denominator in every debate.....they read like the meanderings of a semi-literate old man who dropped out before any of his peers started smoking pot...fair enough? we good now? :roll:
What arguments do you disagree with in this thread? Or are you just going to make vague criticisms/trolling comments about the posters in it?
going to watch the doc zone one...seen all the others...which are all excellent.
:thumbup:
It's a good doc. Doesn't really call for any resolutions or anything, more of a snapshot of the industry, and a demonstration of the futility of fighting it.....I was in Grand Forks two summers ago to visit the daughter of the 'marijuana mayor" in the doc (she's an awesome person and close friend)....the place has such a different vibe as it pertains to this topic....love the BC interior, would like to live there again someday.
And you're right about Harper. I hope this robocall thing wakes up the people who haven't already turned on them over their crime and internet bills.

Wife and I watched it...and throughout when they would mention this crop was worth X amount and that crop was worth X amount...I would say to my wife "look at all the tax $$$ the government is missing out on", just goes to show us how dumb the government really is, they'll spend billions on prohibition when they can legalize it, license it, regulate it and tax it...especially at a time when tax revenues are needed.
Just makes no sense at all.

Yeah we are serious...
Other than that, what are you talking about???
You do know that many long time cannabis smokers were/are extremely productive...
Science combined with studies are destroying the arguments to keep it illegal.
If it's legal you don't have to smoke it...but your town, state and country will benefit from the much needed tax revenue...and unlike smoking the tax revenue will not be spent on the healthcare of someone getting sick from weed...studies are showing its safer than aspirin.
You know if its legal people aren't going to sit around smoking pot all day , they continue to be productive and live their lives except instead of that cocktail or three at night, they'll have a joint to unwind (which is safer).
Unemployment amongst the drug cartels will rise of course .

Absolutely. A lot of great music has been created while smoking weed. I'm not saying you have to get stoned to be a good musician but it's use in the creative process is well known. Artist from Lester Young to (yes) Willie Nelson have been regular consumers of weed. Weed doesn't make people unproductive. People who are unproductive make themselves unproductive. Godfather, indulge yourself in a little reminiscent smoke while you enjoy that Taj Mahal set. You might find it sounds even better than you remember!

The dog got a hold of someone's weed here in the house. He passed out for most of the day yesterday. There were nuggets chewed up all over the sofa. He was going gonzo for a little while, like running circles around the kitchen island for about 20 minutes. The person who weed was ate was not so happy.

Odd funny thing just last night i said to my lady they should make weed legal in that we would have a more peaceful place and less angry people. Besides i believe it soothes our aches and pain as we get older...things don't seem to work so well as some of us age.

you are a juvenile and your posts read like one all the time as well, as if not yet fully developed. you hit submit when you should be editing your work. always you are misspelling words and often your sentences are incomplete ramblings filled with utter nonsense from the out of touch. and i am a dickhead too godfather. i don't finish sentences correctly or use correct grammer. i write poeticly in a constant. i feel bad for spanking you though. fact is, you pissed me off this morning.

Ooh, yeah! Black Uhuru! I saw these guys with Sly and Robbie on board. They opened for Talking Heads. What a fine groove! And those funny little cigarettes that were going around the room that night certainly fit the mood!

everything Godfather can do, i chadwick von cletus detwiler, can do just as well if not better whilst high on grade A marijuana cigarettes. this is a direct challenge towards the direction of one, godfather mr. san diego. you have been given plenty of opportunities to be nice to others and you have failed largely. i believe you are in deep doodoo, little mister.

Thanks for getting that "anything you can do, I can do better" song in my head.
And thanks to the plant itself. Sunday morning wake-n-bakes are not only enjoyable, but at this particular time, necessary.

accomplishes nothing
lets have a good time and see what we can do about this dilemma
One of the things I have done and that you can do also...that can make a difference, is to join your local NORML Chapter and see what you can do. Maybe you can also send some comments and "well-thought-out" communications to your reps and congress-persons. I do....one person may not make such a difference, but together...we can

This post is the kind that sort of throws me back a little and gives me reason to reflect. I'm often inclined to want to be everybody's friend but I get cross if I'm put down. Either way- that's not reality. You're right, Chadwick, we're not all friends because it's not a perfect butterflies and puppies world. And I don't think we have all have to be friends to have useful discussions. Sometimes we have to respectfully disagree. The difficulty is in expressing ourselves when we feel passionately strongly about something. It can be difficult to find the balance between being untrue to our beliefs or reacting with too much anger at a post that one disagrees with. Sometimes I find myself trying too hard to placate and other times I over-react. (See 90% of my posts on global warming for example. / :x ) Maybe that's one of the things we can all learn on AMT- how to communicate better while at the same time remaining true to our beliefs.
