If wanting less government, using my head, and seeing through bullshit makes me a damn dirty hippy, please feel free to call me one.

Works for Me,,,


If needed I can find some pictures of Me with long hair.....

Never suspected there were so many damn dirty hippies on here.

It's Apes. Damned dirty apes. As in "Get your filthy hands off me you damned dirty ape."

Of course, any reference to apes these days can get you labeled as a racist. Apples and Oranges.

Back to the pot issue. Never done it, never will. But I can definitely see the compelling reasons to legalize (and tax) it. Regarding my doctor toking it up before seeing/operating on me, alcohol is already legal and some physicians see fit to use that whilst treating patients - most don't. If it were lagalized and given the same professional restrictions as alcohol use currently has I can't imagine an increase in unprofessional/malpractice conduct among those entrusted with our health and safety.

I don't know about this. Do you think these references to "hemp" actually refer to cannabis, or the hemp plant used to produce rope? I think more probably the latter, although I think Jefferson would have no problem with cannabis.

Heard about this on the radio last week.

I doubt this will fly, but it is California and they have a lot to do to avoid bankrupting the state. Why this stuff is illegal is beyond me, given that alcohol isn't.

W.R. Hearst owned lots of timber, and newspapers. The cost of pulp from hemp was/is approx 1/5 the cost, of pulp from a tree. The regeneration time is 1/8 maximum.
How much money do you think Hearst was going to loose if pulp production veered away from trees? He convinced his paid gov reps to get that damn hemp made illegal. and so it came to pass.
Combine that with the stigma of "coloreds" smoking it, and you have the perfect storm for criminalization.
Just like evil guns. create the hysteria, convince those with bully pulpit powers to champion your cause, and POOF Illegal.

I'm personally tired of only hearing people talking about taxing it. TAX money just goes to the government, who cares. There is a TON more money to be made from legalized drugs than just tax money.

I dream of runing my own gunsmithing bussiness one day when I get all the skills up to par to tackle this goal. Hell Maybe I can even sell pot to my gun toking customers too. Hell I even burn with them. I'll make your guns while high, then smoke with you, and then go shooting stoned. "Ever go shooting on weed?" See where I going with this? I don't because I'm on the tweed!
Who started this thread? Did you think it would go to this level. LOL. Maybe we should rename this site....CO drugs and guns.com . Just kidding I like the debate. Its a good one

True, think of all the greenhouses that would need to be built. And grow lights too be wired..
