So if you chose to rub tree frogs on your face, or attempt to ski down molten lava, go right ahead, but don't cry to me, or look for help when things don't go well.

Policy such as this, is not only simple to maintain and enforce, it would be great for humanity. It might even slow down the reproduction of replication of stupid people, which seem to be breeding at alarming rates.

Didn't mean to rant, but I'm for the legalization of all drugs, and much stricter penalties on activities dangerous to others while under the influence. ]]>Aug 23rd 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/Aug 23rd 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/grow up and do coke like an adult"

.... Sooo people are now telling you to smoke pot? I think not, also, it is not illegal to do ANY of thoes things mentioned above, while it is illegal for people to make the choice to smoke.

and if you think weed should be illegal, but you drink alcohol, you are a hypocrite]]>Aug 23rd 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/Aug 23rd 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/gps-equipped-turtle-runs-into-reefer-farm-gets-high-fives-from/
Rutsy5, hemp and marijuana are two completely different plants. It's like saying Koi are goldfish. Hemp is an industrial/household product godsend if we weren't so brainwashed with false drug propaganda and actually used the damn thing in the USA.

Furthermore, cannabis (the OTHER plant, not hemp) has NEVER been linked to cancer or any increased death rates, ever. There has also never been an OD on pot, and there have been studies proving it to be impossible. Can you die from smoke inhalation? Yeah, if you can't breathe you'll die. Can you OD on THC? No.


Here in the US, we have spent almost 33 BILLION DOLLARS on the drug war thus far in 2008. (http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm)

And over 44% of ALL drug arrests have been for marijuana.

Even worse, we're spending ridiculous amounts of tax money to stop wild pot operations (which apparently we should hire turtles for) and yet 99% of the plants destroyed were Hemp plants; this is stupid, because the whole plant does not even contain enough THC (active ingredient in marijuana) to get an ant stoned.
(http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7033)

Marijuana prohibition is doing FAR more harm than it is good in this country, never mind the violence and cartels it creates. (Al Capone, anyone?)

That's not even touching on the positives of revenue generated from civil possession fines (with decriminalization) or the tax and economic revenue of legalization, regulation and taxing it.

So, how's that for an argument to legalize pot?

It seems like people are doing it JUST so they can fight about why it should be legal...

I won't touch any Alcohol, Tobacco or illegal drug... and I think I will survive.
I will also have more cash to blow on crappy gadgets.

I know its not "addictive", but you should try going other places to get your needs met...

BUT, there are a small set of people who have panic attacks from THC. And it may be a trigger for psychosis in latent schizophrenics. No it won't kill them, but it can have a long lasting negative impact on their lives.

c'mon... clearly the ganja affects judgment if the idiot got busted by a turtle...

and about the poster regarding the drug war.... i'd rather put taxpayers money on that to protect my kids to some degree than to give my money to welfare and social security... i don't need welfare but the government has no problem taking my money and giving it to someone else... that's a freakin' waste...
