NEWS: More Dumberer Than Potheads

I say legalise it. But I guess that would make too much sense.

It is impossible to be certain since much of the paper trail was ordered destroyed in 1973 by CIA chief Richard Helms, but the US government apparently had an extensive program called MK Ultra, and they likely would have been involved in such shenanigans.

The military did experiment with MDMA's close cousin MDA using the designation "EA-1298", so it wouldn't surprise me if MDMA wasn't tested as well.

As related in the Wikipedia reference above I've always found this bit of recursive karma a particularly humorous tidbit of societal jujitsu.

Illogical sometimes, I agree, but immoral?? I chose not to make an argument because (1) I've learned FTR is never wrong and (2) people who make this "legalize it" argument never consider the subject through the eyes of families hurt by drugs.

Yes, the laws are fine as they are; I care about people with addictions, but legalizing anything doesn't help; yes, I don't care about people who just want to get high after work. I don't drink alcohol, I think its a horrible drug, and I think the country would be better off if it was able to be kept illegal. However, like this pot issue, I realize the laws are what they are, and the people want it this way. I will always make an argument for why alcohol is bad, but you'll never see me wasting time in Washington to change the law - like Mr. Barney Frank.

Are we still doing the name calling thing, FTR?? I don't drink, I think if the country was successful in prohibition, back in the day, I think we'd be better for it. But since not, I see no point in changing the law.

FTR, you're no better than I with your "they're going to do it anyway" cliche. Thats not only illogical, its immature, I know high schoolers who make that type of argument.

Sounds like the same mistake I made assuming you used pot based on your sophomoric argument.

Police arrested a record 829,625 persons for marijuana violations in 2006....
I feel you on that one.... i was one of those arrested in '06... a bullshit charge by some suburban cops with nothing better to do... i might also mention that while the 4 cops and 1 dog it took to take down a hardened criminal like myself a local clerk was shot and robbed... i know this because unlike the supercops that arrested me i was paying attention to the police scanner...
enough is enough... it's time for some reform in this great land of ours...

Growing your own tobacco is ALSO illegal in the US. Big business affecting our rights? go figure

yeah, the whole Schedule I thing is completely ridiculous. People get way more f'd up on a bunch of, say, Xanax bars and have far more chance of hurting themselves or others, in my opinion. People walk in to the Pharmacy (where I work) and can't even count out bills they are so gone on their Valium, Xanax, or what have you.
Yeah, pot makes you a little loopy, but at least folks on pot are usually pretty chill.
Not to mention freakin' adderall and oxycodone are only a Schedule II. I have tried some things and I can say that there are a lot of other things than pot that could get me way more gone.
And yeah, pot and cocaine in the same category... Anyone with half a brain should know that is some completely dumb shit!

Oh, just a tidbit... Marinol is actually only a schedule... four, I believe. Could be a three, but i KNOW it's not a two...
Go figure...

It's just a daily scheduled occasion for me.

FUCK Richard Nixon. for creating the DEA and for classifying ganja at the top of the dangerous drug list. Richard, you were a paranoid insecure cocksucker. we hated you because you were a horribly corrupt lying president (*cough-Bush!), not because we were smoking herb. Rest in Hell.
