My bad, corporations and government. Neither of which I would ever work for in my life.
FIGHT THE MACHINE, MAN /hippie accent
Your mother must be so proud. stare
I bet your's is also proud of your sig with your "cool stance" smoking and holding a bottle of crown proudly displaying your lust for getting smashed on alcohol like every other wastoid on the planet (including me, I just don't do it on alcohol wink )
DON'T TALK ABOUT MY MOMMA
I don't have to get into detail about my job life, but in short I make adequate money with a private company (while going to school), which is who I'd rather support before a multi million dollar slave labor corporation or our crooked government.
So... Let me get this straight. You work for a private company making adequate money while you bash multi-million dollar corporations, most of which actually offer a decent wage, too (believe it or not, most companies don't pay minimum wage), but because they're large and automatically evil because of yet. Or is it because they want money that makes them evil? This coming from a guy who boasts about making "adequate" money himself, a humble term used mostly to say "I make enough to pay bills and spend quite a bit, too!"
And, if you must know, that picture was taken for a couple of friends who all had a form of alcohol in their pictures. We were to have our favorite whiskey in it; I chose Crown Royale as it is just so smooth and delicious. I am both a liquor and tobacco enthusiast.
As for the "crooked" government, just because a couple of officials are corrupt doesn't mean the whole thing is. This "evil government" trend fails to see what would happen if this "evil government" was destroyed. You'd have one hell of a time getting decent food (let alone any at all). Say good bye to your police force. Bye-bye to your roadways. See ya later clean air. ******** off, clean water. Peace out, vehicle safety standards. Piss off, disease control.
Your government does a ******** lot more than you think it does. So instead of getting pissed at the whole government for what a few self-centered, bigoted pieces of s**t do, you get active and vote. Have discussions with people. And maybe, just maybe, one day the American population will get tired of the lies, the bullshit, and empty promises and string the corrupt ones up by their testicles and force some new laws preventing congressmen to have private investments, publicly viewable bank records and e-mail correspondents.
OKAY, two things. ONE, Narpy, do you even KNOW why marijuana is illegal? You shot out at her like she's doing cocaine. Marijuana is a natural anxiety reliever and pain reliever. And its a hell of alot better for your body than ALCOHOL or CIGARS or LEGAL PAINKILLERS. So, back up off your high horse *snort* about how she's dealing with her anxiety. TWO, I highly doubt the sir above me was complaining about all the "good" things the government does, so, back up off that one too. All good things have a bad seed. Our policemen are required to get a quota of tickets a day. But they're STILL picking on minorities or just stopping people to meet their quota. That's very good, right? Also, VOTING are you serious? You do realize the electoral college is actually in charge. This is not a true democracy, sir. I agree that voting at state and regional and city levels, yes that might be helpful but we're never really in charge of who gets put in charge. THREE, everyone stop calling names and complaining about how someone shouldn't talk about their problems. I never saw her blame her problems on anyone. Using your problems in life as an excuse is one thing, explaining why you are who you are and where you are by talking about your problems is another. FOUR, we all come from different walks of life. I work two jobs and do a great job at both and support my family and I admit I toke up to help with the pain from my lupus. It would take popping half a bottle of painkillers sometimes to ease the pain that a bowl can help me with. It is so much healthier and so much more relaxing. Please do not think that we're all a bunch of hippies who don't have real jobs and wanna take down our 'great' government just because we light up every once in a while.
ALSO, no one has the right to point fingers about how much money someone spends ESPECIALLY when one mentions they enjoy some Crown Royal and tobacco. Let the person who has not sinned cast the first stone, and I doubt it's anyone of us.
Done with my ramble. :3 And to answer the question, I toke after my breakfast and morning cig. If I did it before, I think I'd eat the kitchen's entire contents ^o^
i am fire, i am damage in the making
Marijuana is illegal for several reasons. Some are unacceptable reasons, some are slightly more acceptable. But that doesn't change the fact that it's illegal. The most common defense for marijuana legalization is that it's less dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes. Now, stay with me here... In a dark time in the United States' history they actually MADE alcohol illegal. Well, not alcohol itself, but the production, purchase, and moving of it illegal. Though much of the usage stopped, the people who didn't just wreaked havoc with it. Alcohol related crimes increased, people who didn't drink it before started doing it, it caused more problems than it solved.
Now, this is a great defense for those supporting the legalization, but there's one MAJOR difference between these two things: alcohol used to be legal. People were already addicted to it. Alright. We've established that the overall usage went down when it became illegal, but the ones who kept abusing it went hardcore on it. So, the negative aspects were there, but the positives of it being illegal is that MOST people stopped using it.
The idea stands that if people are going to do it, they will regardless of whether it's legal or not, which is why it's become a light misdemeanor or even decriminalized. Mostly because they don't want people doing it in public or while driving. Pretty much the same thing they do with alcohol. Can't use it out in public. Can't operate a vehicle under its influence.
And here's for you oh so wise ones who read High Times for your facts on Marijuana. The most common one is that it's safer than cigarettes. Here's a fact sheet complete with sources:
http://www.pdfdownload.org/pdf2html/pdf2html.php?url=http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/marijuana/../../publications/pdf/Marijuana.pdf&images=yes
And I'll give you one for free: Other research has shown marijuana smoke to contain carcinogens and to be an irritant of the lungs. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50-70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke.
There's even a little source for the information down there for you. Someone with a degree, even! Bet you couldn't find that in High Times. Don't bother looking; I've done it already.
As for point number TWO: I made a point that he was generalizing the whole government and even clarified that perhaps he should only string one or two up.
Also, while the Electoral College is slightly flawed (yet not near as much as people make it out to be), that only consists of voting for the President and Vice President. You realize you have the power to vote for the rest of congress, too, right? The President isn't the King. Anything the President does, the congress needs to OK.
THREE: She blamed her family, her surroundings and her experiences. That's blaming someone else. I have similar experiences, and instead of bitching, whining and drowning myself in my own pity, I rose up and become a contributing member of society.
FOUR: I never said everyone who smokes pot is a bad person. Or a hippie; you derived that assumption yourself, be it out of guilt or whatever; I don't know.
Also: I enjoy those things myself. I pay my bills, I buy my groceries, I take my girlfriend out, and occasionally I like to sit down with a glass of whiskey or rum, sometimes even a beer and smoke a bowl of tobacco or a cigar. I certainly don't wake up in the morning and start drinking. Way to compare the two.
Also, a serving of alcohol a day is very healthy for you. wink
