freethefly 6 #5 January 25, 2011 Quote "9. In practical terms, marijuana cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity." Yet, our stupid, idiotic government still insist that marijuana is an extremely dangerous drug! http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/pressrel/pr060602.html They probably came to this conclusion during a 3 martini lunch.Truth is that the U.S. government will never admit to being wrong. Also, giving up control over an otherwise harmless substance means giving up billions in taxpayer money. Keeping a lock on the control ensures employment for for the DEA Gestapo. Keeping it illegal ensures that drug trafficking, gang activity and murder will continue and allows them to justify their position. They will allow murder to hold on to the control. I'm not sure of the exact quote, but in the movie Flashpoint, Kurtwood Smith, playing a DEA agent, tells Kris Kristofferson, playing the part of a border agent, the reason that he let a drug runner go is "Everyday that I wake up, I thank God for drugs, murder and subversion, cause without it, we're out of a job." I honestly believe that the U.S. government allows a certain amount of drugs to enter the country in order to justify their position. Without those drugs, a lot of them are out of a job."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

tkhayes 348 #11 January 26, 2011 the 'government' did not decide and uphold that marijuana is dangerous, the courts did. While the courts ultimately are part of the government, the legislature can easily override the courts by changing the laws. I do not believe that the government thinks marijuana is dangerous. I think they are too lame to change the law for fear of election repercussions. I do believe that the war on drugs has gained the same notoriety amongst government and funding in that it is now part of the 'military industrial complex' and cannot be stopped without radical changes that again, lobbyists - who supply all the cool technology to fight it- would fight with every inch of their might. Basically it boils down to people making a lot of money from drug wars, all the way from private security to private prisons to suppliers of drones to fence builders....

freethefly 6 #13 January 26, 2011 Quotethe 'government' did not decide and uphold that marijuana is dangerous, the courts did. While the courts ultimately are part of the government, the legislature can easily override the courts by changing the laws. I'm in full agreement with you. The legislature has had plenty of opportunity to do so, but has all but ignore the issue since before the Shafer Commission. To overturn any legislation would make them appear to be "soft on crime", or so. That is a cope out. The ultimate bottom line is the control of marijuana has spawned a cottage industry that that rakes in huge profits. Legislation creates huge profits on both sides of the fence. Drug lords are just against legalization as is the legal industry that prohibition has spawned. It's a good deal for organized crime as it is for legalized crime. Marijuana rehab? What a scam. http://www.shadyhousepub.com/mpiu/health-care-costs-of-marijuana/ QuoteI do not believe that the government thinks marijuana is dangerous. I think they are too lame to change the law for fear of election repercussions. +1. Many within the government has smoked at one time or another and may even smoke today. Sadly they continue the the status quo.

As with the "designer" faux herb that prohibition has brought about. Once again the DEA is ramping up effort for control. They have banned one form and shortly after a new form appears. It amounts to a never ending game of checkers. There is plenty of money for all sides to make. Far to many are profiting and for to many are losing (closing in on 1 million per year arrested.) The only real solution is legalization and taxation."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
