It's a rather interesting documentary showing different sides of the marijauna legalization debate in America. It focuses a bit on the medicinal side of things, but gives an ok balance with showing the other sides of the argument as well. I enjoyed it, figured I'd share in case anyone else likes documentaries. That's the whole hour and a half film, as well.

Since I just moved from the Dutch border back to Central Germany...
In the Netherlands the consumption of marijuana is legal. However there is a new law that prohibits smoking in public places so in the famous cafe places in the Netherlands you're no more allowed to smoke anything.Whether it is regular cigarettes or pot.Lol

Pot. I remember it from my younger days, hanging out with friends playing Tekken and doing bongs. Those were the days

Explain to me the medicinal purposes of Whiskey or Budweiser..

Explain how alcohol-related accidents, are still a leading killer in America, despite any protocols created to stem such accidents..

Now, explain to me why alcohol is still legalized...

Then explain to me why I am not allowed to grow pot in my bathroom, without going to jail..

Annual deaths attributed to marijuana usage = 0

Ah, pot. I remember it from my younger days, yesterday, smoking a blunt with my girls, watching Dangerous Minds. Those were the days.

Ciggs and alcohol are legal. Ciggs have very lenient restrictions on the kinds of chemicals they can use in their products. Marijuana is hardly a completely different substance in terms of its effects when using. Aside from ciggs, none of those substances should be allowed to consume while operating a vehicle.

Hemp is already used in all kinds of products. Its the 'green' thing to do. :mrgreen:

If they really wanted to ban 'drugs', alcohol would be prohibited. End of story.

One thing that pisses me off about this country is the "war on drugs". Its pathetic in my opinion and is a waste of federal dollars.

Remember that the early war on drugs was racially motivated and still is in some areas.

I'm pretty sure it's pretty easy to tell where I stand on this issue. Marijuana is not legal in the U.S. because the country could never find a way to effectively tax it. The gov't is afraid were just all going to start growing ganja(If they legalize it) and that would mean Uncle Sam would get no cut on that (Like he does on cigarettes and alcohol). I don't see marijuana as a drug. I see it simply as a mind-altering plant that makes activities more fun. Especially when your spending your stoned times with chill people that you care about.

Plus ganja makes me a much better guitar player and a much more creative writer. So I'll probably have a health relationship with bud for the rest of my life.

On that note people. Get Fried. :smt033

Yeah, it's lovely how one of the biggest arguments against marijauna was "it makes the darkies go crazy and look at white women with lust" isn't it?

What's even better is that despite it's extremely questionable outlawing, it's still considered a scary, harmful drug...even though the information is quite easy to access that not only proves that claim false, but also sheds light on just how nasty the anti-marijuana campaign really got back in the day.

A comedian -and- a stoner??? Marry me.

LOL! You know what it takes for a dude my skin tone to blush? Proposals. I do. Kiss the bride.

I still get to wear the dress, even though I proposed. And my bouquet will be a lovely mixture of Purple Haze, California Kush, and Chocolate, of course.

Hell yea. Im not wearing any dresses. But that bouquet sounds great. We gotta add Granddaddy Purp to that bouquet. Have you tried that shit? Lovely stoner wedding.

Granddaddy Purp? I don't -think- so, but I might've. I'd never even tried anything other than Reggie before I moved to Houston. *L* I've had a few super stoner white boy friends since I got down here, though, and they've introduced me to some good shit.

I couldn't have a bouquet of weed though, sadly. I'd be pinchin' off the top of the "flowers" for a little pre-wedding meditation while getting dressed. By the time I got out there it'd be bald in patches all over. hahaha.

You'd kno if you tried it. If you ever smoked a blunt and it tasted like Fruity Pebbles you're dealing with Granddaddy purp. But the Reggie keeps me good especially from my wallets point of view. As far as the bouquet I'd probably end up pinching it too. I'd need it to calm down my pre-game jitters (I'd be nervous as hell). And marijuana is my favorite cure for a hangover (I plan on having one of the most epic bachelor's parties in history). So the bouquet wouldn't make it for the whole wedding part. But I'm pretty sure we'd both enjoy it.:weedman:
