Re: Profit Machine
First thing that needs to be realised is that not all drugs are the same. Here in Europe there is a much more tolerant position on cannabis, for example. This comes not only from the cannabis lobby, but also from the many police officers who resent the time wasted on something which is, in general, is far less harmful than other drugs.
cannabis should be legal, it hasn't been shown to be harmful at all, hell i read that sleep depravation is more harmful than cannabis is!
the whole thing isn't even about the thc in the plant its about, what you can do with hemp, they just distorted the reality of what it can do, to demonize it to the point that hemp = evil
if we used hemp, we would never have to use a tree to make anything again! or wool or a lot of things
many big buiness people would see a loss if they allowed hemp to be used for paper, instead of wood, the logging industry would go down the tubes
i mean even if it wasn't for this what does cannabis do? it makes you think crap is overly funny and hungry, is that worse than alchohol that can lead to death? other than deadly allergic reactions to the plant, i've never heard of someone dying from pot
on the other hand meth IS deadly and a huge problem in kansas and the midwest in general, being that i work at walmart i have a bunch of stuff come across my regaster, that you wouldn't think should be 18 and over, but it is
cough syrup, pills, sudaphed, which is used to make meth, even if it was sold like everything else, which it isn't anymore, you could only get it in limited ammounts per day, like 2
the fact is that you can make this junk from easly apptained items, well in comparison to say cocaine . shows that its a deadly drug, when you could unknowingly buy it laced with rat poison or something worse
the worst problem for me is, since it easy to make if you can get the items for it, they try to make it harder to get them, since they are common things that normal people use to cure things or use them for normal purposes, it makes it even worse to get the items, since they work the best sometimes
