Its not marihuana, its cannabis, get it right

Have you ever talked to a doctor about using cannabis for a given problem and have them just quit listening to what your actually saying and fill in some blanks for them selves? It is the same way with most people that aren't aware that the propaganda that has been fed to them their entire lives are at least 90% lies and the rest is twisted to put fear into the subject so they would accept the lies without question. We need to get past that mentality to get the truth across. Reffering to it by its true name has a better chance of getting past that blind spot than all the "nicknames" it goes by. It's simple if you'll open your eyes. Keep them closed and you may be the next to feel the wrath of the drug warriors.

hmm, the op has a point though..

talking with people that are against marijuana.

calling it cannabis to them, has a good point.

so im not viewed as a terrible marihuana smoker or lazy potsmoker, i use cannabis for my illness.

cannabis is my medicine..

.......thats how we got the beginning of legalization, playing the sympathy card.

...

though the only real point to that, is that we are dealing with idiots..

but,,,we are living with those idiots, it has its harms, but we can also take advantage of that, same as the fuckers, just do it more nice so we get the idiots on our side.

though, since the idiots are fewer and fewer and mostly old and deaf of mind... we really just have to wait and ignore them..

doesnt really matter what a idiot thinks, (unless you are alone with a bunch of them and no way to get out of there, i guess..(though its rather relatively simple to keep idiots calm)

Oh, here we go again. I'm not sick and I smoke pot. Does that make me a lazy pot smoker? Damn, I'm not telling the effing government I'm sick just so I can have their PERMISSION to get get my kicks smoking a few jazz cigarettes. Never.
I smoke dope. I'm a pothead. Those people who don't understand can go fuck themselves. If you want to call it medicine, go ahead, I'm sure it really is for some. I smoke it for laughs, myself.

I was showing one of the black guys i work with a couple nuggets of some sour diesel i had & he's like " thats some straight up haze yo "

I was talking to a white guy not too long ago and mentioned that it was grown indoors and he said, "Oh, it's 'dro?"

I've also talked to guys who think that if something is great herb, that it MUST be hydroponic.

People are dumb.

lol.

sorry, tired, i didnt mean that anyone that smokes and isnt sick is a lazy pothead.

id smoke even if i wasnt sick, i love it and am a hobby musician to boot (love what it does to music perception)

and just because ya prefer relaxing and or doing something fun, over some pointless shit that can wait (sometimes forever)

i wouldnt call ya lazy, more sensible if anything..lol..

and it is a medicine, but its quite a bit more than that ;)

fuck,,,if it makes your day and puts a smile on your face, what the fuck kind of monster am i to ban you that? (or try to, lol )

i edited the post and anyways later mentioned that we are dealing with idiots, though sometimes funnily, wellmeaning idiots..sadness in of itself lol, but anyway.

I don't think the name is as bad as the image. Folks imagine peeps not doing anything positive because of smoking weed. They don't see young and middle aged professionals taking care of their everyday lives, they see somebody smoking weed... every day. Oh the shame of it. Same folks that drink or take pain pills every day, always gotta point their finger at somebody else.
 
i like to call it "hweed"

like hu and weed but rolled together

sometimes peeps be like yo mang you gots some weed and im like, naw all it got is this hhweed. i dunno guess you got to be there.

mexicans called it marihuana, which is a fine name, just because idiots used it differently one time and still do, doesnt mean i support their actions when i use that mexican slang.

in fact, if i stopped using marihuana, id be supporting their racism.

it was not the assmonkey´s and fucktards that came up with the name after all, just twisted it for their own ends
.

well, im not twisted and i dont need to give a fuck about the thought processes of dead idiots.

like the word "patriot"
 
^^ you mean like freedom fries? ^^ i wonder if freedom fries tasted different... anyone actually buy freedom fries or was that some Canadian thing we thought happened in the ol U.S of A

sorry im really....

I tried calling it Mary O 'Brian to Anglicise it...

But it didn't sound near as sinister as Marihuana. The 'h' does the trick.

"Yes, I'm a marihuana addict. Now fuck off before I take an axe to your face."

Oddly enough, I have never been asked to speak at a NORML rally.
