Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

I've actually heard smoking marijuana in small amounts can be helpful to your body..i'm not positive by any means, but I wouldnt be shocked if it was true.

Wow, I never realized how many car stereo people were pot heads. Ok yeah I did.

Here is a few more tidbits to think about.

Just imagine the funding that could be put towards schooling, and other programs that the goverment has a hard time funding now, If MJ was leagalized and taxed.

An acre of hemp produces the same amount of oxygen as 10 acres of rain forest.

Hemp is way more durable than cotton

Hemp has thousands of commercial uses, including paper, food, fuel, rope, oils, textiles, medicines, building panels, plastics, paint, sealants, disposable diapers, coffee filters, etc. Anything that is presently being derived from wood or oil can be made more ecologically with hemp.

Oh and I almost forgot, Amsterdam, has one of the lowest percentage of drug and achol related incidents, and one of the lowest % of underage users in the world, Can we say, making it leagle just took some of the (hay lets do this cause we shouldn't away)

I know the feeling, I could get a call tonight to go pee in a cup. So I couldn't smoke even if I wanted too.

And we wonder why we are stereotyped? lol

Guy's...get real.

The idea of legalizing MJ is a socialistic battle. Our society thrives on arguing things, as we are doing now in this very thread. It shouldn't have anything to do with which hurts you less, or whether it helps us or not. The reason our country is the way it is, is because of decisions like this. Our society hasn't changed...that's why things are getting worse, we don't obey the laws. If we did obey our laws, things would be different.

This is something that has to change in the heart of Americans all together. We don't care, that's the bottom line. We know what is right and wrong, and we usually vote for the right things, but we don't obey it. If you want to see change, get the 270+ million Americans to obey the rules that we know would work if we obeyed them. Take and engine for example...if one piston isn't timed right with the rest, you'll notice, but if everything is in cordination, you CAN prodict how the engine will perform. The real challenge here is to get American's to obey the laws we have. Its a science when you really think about it.

270 million americans will never obey all laws, no chance in hell. unless of course, you're hoping to switch to a dictatorship where we would have no other choice. but then, we wuldn't be discussing this here, car audio wouldn't exsist because no one would have a reason to do anything productive. you'd just be a mindless drone.

edit: i am for legalization for pot. i don't smoke it, but the government could make big bucks off it. But what happens too all those being drug tested for it?

It was a joke criss, take it easy.

Hopefully alot of those drug test would go away. Those that didn't would have to raise the tolerance level of THC that they find in the test. In case of second hand smoke and so on.

I completely agree. But, do we give in and allow ourselves to make poor choices because we can't control ourselves? That's just like letting your kid get away with anything he wants because he throws a temper and you dont want to deal with it.

It's not necessarily a poor choice. You say that isn't legalized not because it doesn't have negative effects, but because it lacks positive effects on society. Then I ask you, what positive effect does alcohol have on society besides money making? The government makes big money on alcohol, even if it has no positive effects. No one has gotten drunk and magically found a cure for cancer.

One might argue the same for pot, that it hasn't done anything positive for this country. Before the government decide to overturn it's ruling, marijuana was helping tons of cancer patients live less painfully, helping them cope with a terrible disease ripping at their insides. If you think marijuana hasn't done anything positive, I think Bill Hicks said it best when he said, "If you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, then go home and burn all your records, all your tapes, and all your CDs because every one of those artists who have made brilliant music and enhanced your lives? RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAL fucking high on drugs."

I also love this Bill Hicks quote :

"I have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE. "Hey, buddy!" "Hey, what?" "Ummmmmmm...." End of argument."

"Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit... unnatural? You know what I mean? It's nature. How do you make nature against the fucking law?"
