Hi again, last time I was here I had to go to work. Then a day or two later the harddrive crashed. Bummer. I just got it going again. I will tell you all alittle about me. I have injoyed our favorite herb for over 30 years now. Have been growing off and on for 20 years. Got busted by cops in the air and that wasn't nice. Only had a few plants out back ( in the sticks ) but it cost me and my better half total $ 40,000.00, 10 years probation of which 2 years of intense probation with piss tests any time of day. This was several years ago and we have since recovered. But recently my company I work for has decided to start random hair folical tests. They gave us 3 months to clean up, thank god, and I had to quit smoking my killer hybrid I grew, that I called Southern Komfort. It took 89 days before I could pass a store bought piss test. We were heavy smokers and my wife quit a few weeks later. Physically it wasn't that hard, but mentally it was. Especially the thought of being forced to quit to keep a good paying job. I want to now be more active in the movement to re-educate the brain washed people about marijuana. The following is something I wrote and edited that I want to post everywhere. Tell me what you think.
I will tell you why marijuana should be legalized. It should never have been illegal in the first place. Back in the early part of the last century, the tobacco industry was buying most of their tobacco crops from the small American family farms. But then the farmers started to grow hemp for rope and other products on their farms because it was more profitable and easier to grow. This hurt the profits of the tobacco industry and they started to lobby the government. The tobacco industry started a campaign with the government to make marijuana and therefore hemp dangerous. They made up lies about marijuana to sway public opinion against marijuana and they succeeded to pass laws against marijuana and hemp. This forced the farmers to revert back to growing tobacco again. Since then our government has faultily incarcerated millions of people at the cost of billions of dollars of the tax payers and convicted people's money for the illegal growing, distribution and use of marijuana. The irony of this is tobacco has caused more death and harm to peoples health then most any other substance. Marijuana on the other hand has very little effect on a persons health and has been proven to help people with certain health issues. Marijuana taken in moderate doses relaxes a persons mood. Millions of people use marijuana daily around the world with no side effects and you don't see them admitted into hospitals. Marijuana users drive cars every day without causing accidents or hurting anybody anymore then someone that doesn't smoke marijuana. Most people are more cautious on marijuana. No one has died from an overdose of marijuana. And people have been using marijuana for over 5000 years. Most people that hold a negative opinion towards marijuana, do so because they have been bombarded by false information over and over. For over 70 years the lies have been told. If you really want to know the truth, you should take 2 or 3 inhaled hits from a good quality marijuana joint and feel what the meaning of being stoned really means. Then you will realize for the first time that its no problem at all. And if you did not like the feeling then in a short time afterwards its over with no side effects what so ever. Marijuana can help the world to be a better place. We should legalize marijuana worldwide. And we should not tax it anymore then we tax any herb that grows. Marijuana should not be placed in the same category as tobacco or alcohol. Growing and distributing marijuana will make money naturally for the governments by creating many jobs for the tax paying people. It will stimulate the economy and generate a large support infrastructure for the hemp and marijuana industry. Hemp itself is used in many ways from making rope to making clothing to making renewable fuel. We need to end this prohibition now. Its time to educate yourself about the truth of Marijuana. Use the internet and see for yourself all the amazing benefits marijuana can do for the world.
Peace.
