You do know cannabis can save the planet?

[BigHurb]

You can eat the seeds and get all your vital nutrition including proteins and fatty acids
(FOOD)

The fibers can be used to make all textiles including paper at exponentially lower costs than lumber . You can make Graphene out of hemp, which can clean up oil spills and be used to make plastics conductive and materials incredibly strong
(SHELTER)

The chemicals in the plant activate receptors built into our bodies that help regulate pain and inflammation, making cannabis a SAFE, NON TOXIC (you cannot overdose) alternative to addictive painkillers that kill your body... can also be used to treat neurological disorders non-invasively and promotes neurogenesis
(BODY AND MIND)


I think it should be Schedule 1, with no value, as bad as heroin. I mean, clearly no one has made a mistake here. Free healthcare will kill the USA. Obama will take our Guns. Weed is Bad.

These are things people say. Welcome to double speak.

I'll still help you ignorant assholes but I don't like it... i owe a karmic debt in my own mind and thats that

I agree. My wife has lupus and it works wonders for her. This pill mill shit can be lowered with it legalized. Wife claims it works better than her prescribed hydrocodone. Just saying....

[Gaunja]

Also I work for a Forbes 100 company. Its amazing how freely the masses are prescribed pills like candy. I swear once a day im hearing about someone popping pills or sharing their xanax. We are so desensitized by pharmacy industry that this becomes the norm. Yet if I smoke bud and pissed hot, im a criminal. All good though if a bunch of suits giggle at the water cooler about pill popping though... meh.

Opiods should really be avoided at all costs. From the toll they take on the body to the highly addictive nature, they are the pharma industry's wet dream. Get people hooked on your drug and screw their bodies up enough so they require some of your other drugs.

[Gaunja]

Yep... vicious cycle.

won't save the planet but could create jobs for folks in the short run here in the usa. legalization would save states on prison expenditures, and people will lose their jobs from the corrections industry; but they could find one at the newly opened dispensary or in the grow field.

tax revenue will likely be the biggest motivator

How we gonna get anyone to work when they're all potheads?

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Revelations 22:2

Forbidding to marry, and commanding to absteine from meates, which God hath created to bee receiued with thankesgiuing of them which beleeue, and know the trueth.
- King James Version (1611) - 1st Timothy 4:3

looking the word up in a strongs concordance which gives the actual definition of the greek word. Meats translates as

Word: brwma

Pronounce: bro'-mah

Strongs Number: G1033

Orig: from the base of 977; food (literally or figuratively), especially (ceremonially) articles allowed or forbidden by the Jewish law:--meat, victuals. G977

Use: TDNT-1:642,111 Noun Neuter

Heb Strong: H400 H1098 H1267 H2964 H4303

1) that which is eaten, food

Rustlemania... mind blown lol.

Life will be good for those that can moderate!

i could laugh at your sarcasm if it werent for the fact your sarcasm is taken as legal advice by the DEA.

also, tax wont motivate... you can make your own medicine and food, why pay taxes?

could shake up the whole paradigm. now you know why its obvious that the illegality is immoral... and morals are for religion... so why are we involving them here.

i like the Op Ed's from Boyscouts in my local paper saying everyone will do drugs now that weed is legal.... and ignoring the boyscout who killed himself by rolling a log down hill.

Life is dangerous. Cannabis is safe. You can tell who really does research and is honest by the conclusions they reach through the misinformation. It is quite a quagmire with the truth in the middle.

"Graphene, a one-atom-thick form of the carbon material graphite, is strong, light, nearly transparent and an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, but a number of practical challenges must be overcome before it can emerge as a replacement for silicon in electronics or energy devices. One particular challenge concerns the question of how graphene diffuses heat, in the form of phonons. Thermal conductivity is critical in electronics, especially as components shrink to the nanoscale. Using the Stampede supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, Professor Li Shi simulated how phonons (heat-carrying vibrations in solids) scatter as a function of the thickness of the graphene layers. He also investigated how graphene interacts with substrate materials and how phonon scattering can be controlled. The results were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Applied Physical Letters and Energy and Environmental Science."

you can make graphene from hemp, and hemp from very little resources. gg.
