It’s me, that crazy hippie chick from Alaska, back once
again to defend the lives, love, and personal liberties of pot smokers
everywhere. I know it’s been awhile, but ya’ll have to excuse me, being a full
time college student, social worker, and women’s rights activists takes up a
lot of time. Despite the time between this article and the last, the issue is
still the same. The American public is sorely misinformed by a dictatorship
that calls itself democracy on the issue of marijuana smoking.
As President Bush likes to remind us, America was founded
on the concepts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Except, his
actions are this: the United States government will define what liberty is and
local government will tell us the boundaries of our pursuits for happiness. Oh
sure, some of you are sitting there calling me something derogatory and saying
that my ideas of the insane rantings of a pot smoking degenerate. But then
again, I’m betting that most of you agree with me.
In the beginning, pot wasn’t made illegal because of the
fact that it was some evil drug. Marijuana was made illegal in this country
because of racism and greed.
In the 1930’s, the Henry Ashlinger and the Federal Bureau
of Narcotics worked to make marijuana illegal by focusing on the themes of
racism and violence. This was done because of the influx of cheap immagrant
labor and its impact on white jobs during the Depression. According the United
States government, marijuana had to be illegal because of its affects on degenerate
races. Here’s what Henry had to say about his fellow American citizens.
“Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.”
"Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist
brainwashing"
There are
100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics,
Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from
marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with
Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
The
more current version of these comments includes not only minorities, but whites
who are in lower socioeconomic brackets. Talk about social control through
stigmatation.
And my personal favorite goes to..
‘Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the
history of mankind."
All those who know this last comment is
complete and utter bullshit, raise your hand. Despite what most people
think—pot doesn’t make you violent. And it certainly doesn’t alter human
nature, as media rhetoric would like us to believe. Pot smokers I know are far
from violent. Oh sure, they might fight you for that last Twinkie—but that’s
about it. But alas, it is just one more stereotype that honest hard working
smokers everywhere have to live with.
But wait! How is that pot smokers are both lazy and
violent? I would think that being one contradicts being the other.
[BB]
Think about it if marijuana is totally made illegal—do you
really think an unhappy workforce is going to be half as productive. I’m
thinking NO. My point is we are told that as adults, we have the power to
change the world, raise future generations, and build communities on the moon
someday, but yet our government is telling us that we don't have the sense to
make the right choices for ourself. Ain't that the damnest thing! Chrsit
people, how many phases of social control do we have to give into until we get
tired of all the bullshit. I think its high time that we stood up and
introduced America to another role of nornality--not just the one that the
conservative community has graciously defined for us.
It is my opinion that nobody has been given the right to
judge anybody else. America claims to be a Christian nation. With that said, I
am reminded of a Matthew: 7:1-5. “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For
with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again.”
People are always scared of what they don’t know about.
Come on people, educate yourselves. How much freedom do we have to lose before
we fight back? What personal liberty do you have to loose before you get off
your ass and say that enough is enough.
The
point to all this is this: before all you anti-pot-anti-choice-anti-freedom
people wag your finger and preach at me about how my pot smoking is deviant
behavior —do your research. And before you go quoting some study, know that I
have B.A. in Social Science and am well aware that research can be skewed to
fit anybodies opinion. Example: medicating children is a good thing.
Smoking Marijuana should be seen for what it really is: An
informed adult decision. Notice that I said that it was an adult decision,
anyone who is eighteen and over should have the privilege of making up their
own minds. Hey, if eighteen year olds are fighting a war, than they ought to
have the choice to smoke pot—or not. I say legalize, tax and monitor it like we
do alcohol.
Life is too short to be treated like a criminal. I’m sick
of being told that pot smoking is criminal behavior. I’m sick of uneducated,
not to mention, misinformed people telling me that I’m a bad person for being a
pot smoker. Most of all, I’m tired of having to defend myself against invalid
sterotypes that are pushed on the public by a both a biased goverment and a one
sided media.
Don’t you just hate it when pot smokers succeed at higher
education.

Someone says on 2010-03-19 04:51:03 about Pot
While pot is absolutely not a dangerous drug, it doesn't matter. Our government will continue to dictate life and happiness until the end of time. They will never, and don't want, to understand. They're greedy little pricks who just don't give a shit about anything except money. That's the way it is now and how it always will be. I know, I'm being defeatist, but come on; when has anything really ever changed.

i would like to say that yes smoking has affected my life in many ways ill admit some bad others great i am for legalizing pot i can realy only think of one bad thing that has ever come from it and that is the looks people giving me when they know. I enjoy the high the sleepyness and the other affects to heart, now i may have only been smoking for maby a year but i still say every voice should be herd at the moment im 16 have had my license now for 7 1/2 monthes and have droven high and silver it has not affected my reaction time or general sense of being in any way yes i may get a little more lasy but have i ever felt violent on it NO i get a little hungry now and then but eh. i agrre that at a certain age it should be a choice you can make yes i have relizied that i may be too young but i choose this in all serisness that it is being my choice and no other if it was taxed farmed and controlled no i would not mine because it would be the same as getting alcohole or ciggerets, and i have to ask maby just to prove this to my self how many deaths have you ever known to be casued purly by pot ever in your intire lifes.

Thank you! Countless redneck bastards have been making my life tough simply because i am a pothead... Its horrible! The sad fact of that matter is that there is a large number of cops that will steal your pot and let you go free without a ticket.
And i also dunno what the deal with the *laziness* thing is.. I find work easier when im stoned. I have been a toker since 13 and im proud of it. It has never messed with my ability to think, nor has it screwed with my reflexes. In fact, i think it actually allows me to learn more effectively. As a skilled artist, i can easily say that the imagination-sparking abilities of the kind benefit me greatly. You cant talk shit about bud... thats like... saying chocolate is bad because it makes you feel good. Cannabis is nowhere near as harmful as alcohol, anti-depressants, and the like.

mcgeesbees says on 2006-04-24 07:42:19 about Pot smoking
Please use your spell checker when you are proclaiming to the world that you are educated! Having been a smoker for 30 years, I agree with what you said. If people don't stand up and read the constitution, there will be no one left except the filthy rich and the starving poor.
You are right about the age limit and the taxation of smoking. I read a stat once that said, "If marijuana was legalized and taxed; there would be no more welfare or sales tax on food."
There is a real concern about ovI think NO ONE can learn while smoking, in or out of class, smoking can create a false sense of well being and complacence that prevents many from moving their lives beyond menial labor. Of course, pee tests, which are un-constitutional, keep folks stuck in the
Final note, I have a Master's Degree in Education, learned to smoke on an Army base, and never finished high School.
Yes children, civil disobedience exists, but let there be no doubt, unless we unite; you still cannot fight city hall!

smoke a bowl says on 2006-03-10 12:21:29 about chronic
I can't really say to much seeing I am 17, but all of these things you say are true. Like others I prefer pot over other things and don't like to drink. God made this beautiful plant and nothing is going to change that. Honestly I don't smoke pot to get "high" I smoke pot to smoke pot, it is somthing to do, and I don't have to worry about bullshit and drama that everyone talks about. My mother is 37 years old and she has 3 kids. My bro and sis are both toddlers. She goes to work everyday takes care of them perfectly fine and she smokes pot everyday. But the government and non "pot smokers" say that we are ruining our bodies and will never grow up to do anything but sit around be a failure? How are we ruining our lives if we like to smoke? We are making ourselves feel better and thats all that matters. We don't need anyone elses opinions about shit. Get the facts straight before trying to brainwash the youth with t.v commercials and ads. Sure 1 person might become lazy and not do anything but everyone is an individual so don't judge the smoker nation for 1 fool who decided to lay around thier whole life.

CR says on 2006-02-18 01:00:08 about People need to wake up
Holly,
what you wrote makes alot of sense I am not realy a "pot smoker" myself, but I agree that people have the right to make their own decions no one should play God and judge otheres on what they should and should not do. Most people who judge alot realy donot have a real understanding of what life realy is in the first place, all their doing is acting off of what society has told them to follow on what is right and wrong. If you can understand this you can see that they don't realy have a real oppinion they are just followers. God did not create life one way he loved us enough to give us the option to choose anyway we pleased, many people do not know this because we were born into a race of rules and punishments.
AlterEgo says on 2006-02-17 11:53:00 about does it matter?
I smoke pot everyday. I do a little wake and bake, sometimes smoke at lunch alot of times after work. And yet I work approximately 65 hours a week. I work 40 on my regural job, and 25 and sometimes 30 on my own business, and I make good money. (about 80k/yr). I was/(kinda am still) very antisocial and didn't make a single friend after coming to the states when I was 10. But then I didn't smoke pot. I do now and I am slowly getting better and have started to make friends and go out more often. I would contribute that to pot and occasional ecstacy. Nothing else. Now for me both are always easy to get, but can you imagine if it was legal and doctors could prescribe either? Can you imagine how many more lives could be better? Forget about what your local representative or congressman or president told you. If one ecstacy pill can kill you I should be dead 50 times already. As for alcohol, I hate alcohol. But you don't see me with picket signs trying to make it illegal. And that shit really kills I see accidents all the time. Don't you? And really....what difference does it make to anyone that doesn't use them anyway? Your'e just forcing your opinion on someone else. And that may be fun now but eventually someone is gonna force their opinions on you and that's not gonna be nearly half as much fun.

It also helps me to calm down after a days stress, and keeps me from getting violent, as I couldnt give a shit about fighting. I also often mix my weed and alchohol, so that I do not get aggressive, otherwise I would have been locked up for life(and in South Africa, it isnt that easy to get locked up for life)!

As for this article, we don't have any choice on many matters, we can't drink until 21 yet can got to war at 18? that's a much bigger problem than not having to choice to smoke pot...besides, when was the last time you had a problem buying weed? It might as well be legal...just sayin

(ie;"Think about it if marijuana is totally made illegal—do you really think an unhappy workforce is going to be half as productive.")
While I personally do think that drugs should be decriminalized to remove the profit motive, and sold in a controlled and taxed manner, I do not think this article will influence anyone who believes drugs should remain illegal. It will however, get the support of anyone who reads it while stoned.
