what were your experiences that lead to your views?

Finding roommates that advertised as non smokers, but didn't include pot until after the lease is signed.
Lived above a state trooper, so windows were always closed, my clothes always smelled like pot. The apartment always smelled like pot. I always smelled like pot. Constantly worried "the man" downstairs would arrest me as an accessory or something.

Friends that smoked pot and thought it was a great idea not to bathe...ever, because they read that dirt clogged pores would keep the chemicals in and lead to a bigger high.

Too many "oh dude, I forgot to pick you up, forgot it was rent day, forgot to give you the message about cancer from your doctor, I'll catch you next week."

Too many "Oh dude, I ate your food for the week that you can't afford more of. I'll buy you a pizza tomorrow man..."

Too many public service announcements that annoy the hell out of me.

Too much shoving it in my face and judging that there is something wrong with me because I really don't have the desire to participate.

Myth: Marijuana Is More Potent Today Than In The Past. Adults who used marijuana in the 1960s and 1970s fail to realize that when today's youth use marijuana they are using a much more dangerous drug.

Fact: When today's youth use marijuana, they are using the same drug used by youth in the 1960s and 1970s. A small number of low-THC samples seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration are used to calculate a dramatic increase in potency. However, these samples were not representative of the marijuana generally available to users during this era. Potency data from the early 1980s to the present are more reliable, and they show no increase in the average THC content of marijuana. Even if marijuana potency were to increase, it would not necessarily make the drug more dangerous. Marijuana that varies quite substantially in potency produces similar psychoactive effects.

Unless of course you don't believe the Netherlands Scientists too.

Cannabis from outside the Netherlands, mainly grown outdoors, contains on average 5.5% THC.3

Oh and I found this link really amusing considering the "Pro Pot" agenda as decreed by the all knowing. I might add it is less then three weeks old. So much for the we don't bother

Dutch border towns have been wrestling with the problem of how to deal with the stream of Belgian, German and French tourists who cross the border to buy the drug.

Finally based on the picture in one of the articles and the rate of 6 euros per gram and the maximum amount you can buy is 5 grams would you spend about $73 dollars for less then two oz's?

Luckily, China will soon call in all the debt the US owes and will bankrupt the country. Good luck with that.

The conservatives are a shell of their former selves

That debt btw was mostly accumulated under a republican president who invaded a sovereign nation for nothing more than oil and strategic placement in the middle east.

We do not live in a monarchy, The democrats held the majority of both the house and senate, and they voted affirmatively, including many other country's (And please don't try that worn out : But, the most stupid republican ever , Fooled the whole world !, even if it were true, it dosen't bold well for the IQ of those he did fool)
1. when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Mr, blow .... eerrr , Mr clinton had to report 500 million he recieved from the saudi's.
2. Mr gore's Family fortune is from Occidental oil, yep , OIL !!


When mr. bush left office, the budget was 500 billion.
It is now at 3 trillion
Real simple fact: if america wanted nothing but oil, we would never have left Kuwait.


Thats what you tired old hippies said about vietnam (Also started by a democrat, i might add) The hate america crowd, well son take a number! cause theres people like me willing to protact her !

The conservatives are a shell of their former selves as is easily seen by their desperation tactics. The fact that serious politicians with educations are actually using words like Socialism, Communism and death panel to describe a system that works in MANY parts of the world, including mine. That debt btw was mostly accumulated under a republican president who invaded a sovereign nation for nothing more than oil and strategic placement in the middle east. Republicans also voted for all those communist style welfare bailouts for the auto industry, the banks...but try to imagine a country where everybody has access to healthcare and suddenly you're bringing guns to town hall meetings and shouting over the speaker???

So its kind of like cheese burgers then right?

I'm sure when the government get its hand in the pot business.

The Justice Department this week announced that it will no longer seek to prosecute people using, prescribing, or distributing pot for medical purposes, as long as they're in compliance with local law. However, regulations in some medical marijuana states remain murky.
