One reason they dont want u to smoke weed.

[GET MO]

I dont know how many others see this, but weed opens your eyes to a lot of shit. It lets you see shit in a differant light, the truth so to speak. A lot of times I dont like to smoke during the day cuz I see how the world really is, everyone on a mission for personal gains in a controlled society that only lets you get so far. Why did science jump so far in a couple years and then all of a sudden slow so much? I dont think they want people to see how the system keeps us in a constant struggle for material things and hinders our progression as a whole thru fear of failure and insecurity. They are basically usin these tactics to keep order and stop an uprising because they are happy with the system and dont want it to change and they got the money to keep it how it is for there personal gains. Seems we have no choice but to fallow and think we are doing something when in reality we are being held back from our full potential. Dont know where Im goin with this so Ima stop, maybe I smoked a lil to little. Need to smoke some more and re-analyze...

 

[TwoOhSix!]

Smoked a lil too little! I hate that!

 

[sin-seed]

I think that's kinda why they don't want us to use psychedelics, one of the reasons anyway.

 

[Mr. Freeman]

This is wierd. I have thought the same and have told a couple of my friends this theory. Most agree. Others just laugh. But I have been thinking this for a while now. Cannabis has opened my perception to all this bullshit that surrounds us. Before I was all about getting the money, buying the car, house, girls etc.

Now i'm more concentrated on health and seeing through all the layers of lies and deception that makes the system work! It just holds humanity back from finding out THE TRUTH. Isn't that the real reason we're all here for?

It just surprises me I'm not the only one thinking this.

Peace and love and keep growin.

 

[sin-seed]

Try acid, lol.

 

[Stoner4Life]

'enlightenment' it was the reason behind trying
psychedelics back in the day for most of us.......

Our govt (US, UK, Canada, etc) wants to keep you/us in the dark and kept slightly psychotic as well, that way you'll keep on sucking down all that taxable booze & tobacco.

Yep, good point, those 2 products dont open your eyes like weed does. Im kinda drunk right now(first time in about 6 months, call it a relapse but I chose to) and one thing I realize is alcohol makes u not give a FUCK about shit, and tobacco makes you more content. weed is the TRUTH.

 

[RooR HeaD]

Its sad man. the world we live in is more like we r robots that keep the world running why the MAN sits on his ass and collects. is their a higher power is their more beyond are knowing. who knows but weed is by far a great eye opener sometimes u get that intellagents weed lol that just makes u think i had some opium the weed strain not the opium cant do opids but when ever i finished a bowl of it i just was quiet didnt say a word just day dreamed off into space and next thing i know im eating dinner with my fam dont remember a thing. fuck u the man we are takeing over.

robots that pay taxes to build an evil empire ,i love my country,an the fathers who built it ,but it was not to take over the world,just to escape and be free ,we are no longer free ,capitalism at its worst ,but there is new sweeping changes coming ,better battenn down the hatches ,its almost time to go underground

My thought exactly. We need to be the survivors. The ones who can feed ourselves and lick our wounds to resore the planet to how it should be. If you are just focused on feeding your family through means of farming and hunting... There is really no need for a fancy car or a huge house. But the herb will bring that joy and the sense of accomplishment and respect one could attain from being self enabled should motivate anybody.

The counrty we have now is not the country our forefathers had in mind. We were all supposed to have the same opportunity to make a decent life. Sure we need a corrections system to punish folks who harm society ie murderers, rapists etc. But if I wanna smoke one, drink something, snort a pound of blow, or whatever the case may be, it should be my perogative. The drug war money would be much better spent on education so we dont have a bunch of materialistic, pussified imbiciles runnig around trying to make decisions on our welfare.

The brainwashing has to stop. Telvision forces the third eye shut. Pot pries it back open, momentarily. We need to stop TV addiction before society loses the ability to manufacture a thought.

I dont know how many others see this, but weed opens your eyes to a lot ...

yes, cannabis opens your inner eye

acid will stretch it wide open for you

ecstasy will give you rosy specs to put over your wide eyes

and heroin will give you proper shades...

all of the above are illigal IMO, because it makes the drones not want to go to work.

No work, no economocal progress.

So keep 'em slaves productive -

please, no pondering, or sweet reverie

no view of the bigger picture -

keep 'em slaves focussed on the mediocrities of life - bombard them with advertisements, soap operas, and occasionally a sci-fi to make them feel special...

 

[SmokeToLive]

I would argue that simply being on the other side of societal norms is enough to give you that clarity. One part could easily be that once you realize you're being lied to about cannabis, you are more able to accept the idea that you're being lied to about other things. But really just having marijuana as part of your life is often enough to disassociate yourself from others, allowing you to be more skeptical. Just asserting yourself, being an individual, and showing courage in the face of prosecution can also be a mind altering trip for some.

That's just my .02. Sorry if I over-thought it.

um... I dunno about the blow part man, aside from that bit, your post was great, specially that last part...

I live in the land of cocaine, and I have seen too many boys and girls get dead-spots in their brains and get serious heart problems directly caused by cocaine use. fuck cocaine really. the coca plant has NOTHING at all to do with cocaine in terms of how it affects the body, mind and soul.

much peace

cannabis is a naturally occuring entheogen, and should not be classified nor discussed under the same categories as synthetically made drugs like acid, heroin, cocaine or mdma.

Nature offers the best entheogen, not man.

Paz.

Right on Get Mo! I personally believe that to be 100% true. If you look at the history of how and why this particular plant came to be illicit in the first place, it only supports your theory. Anyone who's read Jack Herer's book The Emperor Wears No Cloths knows what I'm talking about.

I'll even take it a step further, and say I believe that cannabis marijuana is illegal because of cannabis hemp's potential, as opposed to the other way around. Hemp can be grown anywhere by anyone, it can be used to make everything from cloths to paint to medicine to fuel, and Du Pont and everyone else who lobbied for the 1937 Prohibitive Tax knew that. It is the only plant on earth that can compete with synthetic materials such as nylon and other plastics. We've all heard the completely reasonable argument that marijuana would be legal if there was a way to effectively tax it. The same argument can be made for the 100,000 other products that hemp can make.

If hemp were legal to cultivate it would have the power to totally restructure our society, including the negative aspects that people have been talking about in this thread. Blind acceptance to everyday norms, living like robots, etc. Instead of centralized industries shipping their products thousands of miles to everyone who demands them, local suppliers/manufacturers would be able use hemp to create similar products that would be used by consumers within their immediate geographic region. But government as a whole sees that as a loss of shipping companies, oil rices going down, less taxes from large corporations, etc.

Think of all the money that wouldn't be made by giant corporations! Think of how daily life would change for families and individuals throughout the world if they didn't have to buy from corporations and could choose from local suppliers! Think of how many taxes wouldn't be paid buying and selling over-priced synthetic goods that are killing the planet! It would truly be freethinking at it's best. Real choices with the power to make a difference put back in the hands of the people.

I sincerely believe that hemp as an industrial product and cannabis as as psychoactive substance are linked together with open-mindedness and common sense. To refuse acceptance of one is to refuse acceptance of all.

 

[ROJO145]

lol.....you guys crack me up with all the conspiracies about "they".Fuck,there isnt even anyone alive from Anslinger's day!
The plain and simple fact of why marijuana isnt legal is purely economics......M O N E Y!!!!!Money,,,,,,,,,,,,,if you added up all the tarrifs you can dream up,taxed the shit out of it,IT WOULDNT EQUAL HALF OF WHAT THE GOVERNMENT MAKES ON IT BEING ILLEGAL!!
Add the thousands of jobs created just for it,and the tens of thousands more in the trickle down chain and it would be clear to anyone that legalizing isnt economically sound for the Gov.
dont forget,the bizness of government is government.Period,no clandestine mission to suppress a life saving world changing plant,sorry......just good bizness
OH...and believe me,"they" dont care if you smoke,sniff,shoot,whatever your way,matter of fact they like that.They just want to catch you doing it.

 

[softy 12pack]

hey rojo145 hearst publications still owns you. unless you do not read the paper, watch the news, radio talk shows...

They are fucking you

theres a point where power and control trump all profits and keeping you dumb is all part of the plan.

 

[B. Self Reliant]

You're right ROJO, there isn't anyone alive from Anslinger's day, but there's something even worse. There's no Anslinger, but there's whole generations of people in the US who have no clue as to the actual facts surrounding this plant, only the lies that they grew up hearing and believing. They were born and raised in a society (parents, teachers, laws, religious groups) that has said nothing but bad things about cannabis since day one. So unfortunately, his legacy of lies, abuse and handing power to the corporate world at the expense of the individual lives on.

I also don't believe that there is a "They." There's no evil person or secret government group that tries to hold us back. However, there are people who refuse to be open-minded or objective, there's people who refuse to acknowledge the principles that the US was founded upon (specifically the value of personal liberty), and there's people who flat out don't care about anything except was tickles their fancy or pulls on their heart strings at any given moment. That is who "They" are, at least in my mind. And yes, some of these people happen to be the ones who dictate policies surrounding Cannabis.

I also agree that it's all about money, as mentioned in my post above. Regardless of whether you're talking specifically about marijuana or you're talking about cannabis as a whole to include industrial hemp, it is all about the money. Anyone who doesn't believe that needs to read Freakonomics for an honest analysis of morals and how things should be vs. money and how they really are.
