Happy 4/20 (but on a serious note..)

[ThePieSwindler]

What do people here think about a legalization movement springing up? We need to take the cause of marijuana legalization as a good first step in unhinging the grip of federal power, and hopefully it will spawn a revivial of this country in the direction of federalism, i.e. where states can make their own laws as to drug legalization.

We need all smokers to unite to try to push for change!

Join the marijuana party if you think it's such a big deal.

Otherwise, the libertarian (or Ron Paul Revolution) movement both have marijuana legalization in their agenda.

Yes but legalization doesnt have as vocal a grassroots as it should. The problem is that most peolpe who smoke it are people who arent vocal because they cant be .. i.e. a business professional who smokes but does not want it on his public reputaion. So its a bit harder of a thing to grassroots with real passion if you believe in legalization, but only out of principle, and not out of the prospective for personal gain.

I never knew what the heck 420 meant until 2 days ago. Apparently today at 4:20 PM more people than ever in history were smoking marijuana.

I smoked more in my youth, but not much anymore.
I am not opposed to it, in fact as a farmer I would like the option of planting a few acres in hemp.
Good for the soil, for weed control and a cash crop.
It is a crop that would grow well on my land.

Yes. Legalize it!!!

"A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." -- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) 16th US President


"One of the problems that the marijuana reform movement consistently faces is that everyone wants to talk about what marijuana does, but no one ever wants to look at what marijuana prohibition does. Marijuana never kicks down your door in the middle of the night. Marijuana never locks up sick and dying people, does not suppress medical research, does not peek in bedroom windows. Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could." -- Richard Cowan (1940- ) National Director of NORML (1992-95)

"If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on." -- Terence McKenna (1946-2000) Writer, philosopher, and ethnobotanist

"Marihuana is a more dangerous drug than heroin or cocaine. I am surprised to learn that certain police officers have been inclined to minimize the effects of the use of marihuana. They would, I am sure, be convinced that the drug is adhering to its Old World traditions of murder, assault, rape, physical demoralization, and mental breakdown. A study of the effects of marihuana shows clearly that it is a dangerous drug, and Bureau records prove that its use is associated with insanity and crime." - Bulletin of the FBI May 1938


"Marijuana leads to homosexuality ... and therefore to AIDS." - Carlton Turner White House Drug Czar 1986


"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 usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." - Harry J. Anslinger (1892-1975) Assistant Prohibition Commissioner in the Bureau of Prohibition, first Commissioner of the Treasury Department's Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) (1930-1962, 32 years), US Representative to the United Nations Narcotics Commission Source: testimony to US Congress supporting Marihuana Tax Act, 1937



"Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows and look at a white woman twice." - Hearst newspapers nationwide 1935
