  1. GOOGLE = POT FARMER POEM & SING IT $$

    I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot

    You better believe it held a whole lot.

    I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame

    Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

    I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes

    They did nothing but give me regrets.

    My mom had arthritis could not walk around

    I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

    I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack

    After I smoked some to me it came back.

    Soon I decided prices were high

    I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.

    I bargained for seeds from smokers all around

    Got in my truck and drove out of town.

    I walked through the woods where wild birds nest

    Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

    I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds

    Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.

    I watered at night with a five-gallon pail

    Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

    Seven months went by; I thought I would die

    Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.

    At night I went out, in a camouflage suit

    Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

    I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.

    Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.

    I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags

    Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

    In less than a week my crop was gone

    I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

  2. Let’s be clear, the human as a whole will never do what is right for everyone. There will always be the mind that will take advantage of others misfortune and misinformation. The human sucks and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

  3. it used to grow like grass and even toddy and tobacco ,asia is not west, can you wear jeans in the Sahara desert lol,its like western isis buys want to keep colonial slaves poor in fear maybe

  4. "legalizing a flower"

    By the way here in the USA that flower was made illegal after suffocating a chimp to death via carbon monoxide poisoning and then a senator finished up by quoting "this is what drives the mexicans crazy".

    Not sure why people think we live in a democracy… the vast majority want it legal………

    Also "war on drugs" is literal terrorism lol.

  5. Cannabis is similar to the opium addiction. It is the starting point to drug addiction.

    Correct, accurate and reliable legal control to use it like morphine to relief the pain of cancer patients after cancer treatment.

  6. From an ex smoker, I wouldn't want it to be legalised
    It isn't a safe drug for kids and legalisation would pave the way for easy access to them
    It is highly addictive psychologically despite what the people would want you to believe

    Besides, the commercial strains are way too potent due to excessive THC content which can cause debilitating damage to one's brain health

    Those who truly want it, can either ways get it

  7. Basically, what makes Marijuana extremely dangerous is human greed i.e. the strong urge for people trading in that business to get rich as quick as possible and to get rich as much as possible.

  8. Let's have the same mindless debate other wealthier, richer, more adavanced countries who have already legalized marijuana for years have had because, ya know, we are special and somehow marijuana affects our bodies differently. Let's also mindlessly not regulate it properly because we are too good for the frameworks that other countries with proven track records have graciously provided us.

  9. "how do you overcome the stigma and at the same time remind younger people of the health hazards, especially teens whose brains are still developing?"

    What a manipulative loaded question

    How do you do it with alcohol? Now, copy/paste

    The most insulting thing of the loaded questions is cannabis doesn't cause any damage to the human body but alcohol is actually poison. With that knowledge, try to make sense of countries choosing to make cannabis illegal but alcohol legal

  10. 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲?

    On June 26, the UN marked the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The message of the Secretary-General for that day was, “We cannot allow the world’s drug problem to further shadow the lives of the tens of millions of people living through humanitarian crises. On this important day,” he suggested, “let us commit to lifting this shadow once and for all, and giving this issue the attention and action it deserves.” In my opinion, as long as people want to escape from life, and as long as drugs are so accessible, substance abuse and drug addiction will continue to plague humanity.

    Life has always been tough. These days, it is even tougher for many, if not most of us. Because drugs are so accessible these days, teenagers and young adults who used to “get away from it all” by drinking or smoking, now do it with drugs, and even hard drugs. It gives them a good high, disconnects their thoughts from the pitfalls of life, and allows them to feel relieved and happy, even if it is transitory and subsequently leads to deeper downs.

    Besides, drugs are good business. Too many people in top positions make too much money for the discussion about eliminating drug abuse to be relevant.

    By “top positions,” I am not talking about the addicts or the dealers. I am talking about policymakers in positions that pay top dollar, whose job is to decry the plague of drug and substance abuse, and do nothing but maintain their positions.

    Like many other top brass, they view their job definition not as a mission to help humanity, but as feeding the cash cow and milking it dry. In the case of drugs, the cow feeds on more addicts, and the milk is the bloated budgets that organizations for “preventing drug abuse” receive in order to perpetuate the problem while pretending to fight it.

    This is why, according to the UN’s own statistics, drug sales over the dark web nearly quadrupled between 2011-2020. If there were an intention to eliminate drug abuse, those who are at the top of the system would have long been fired. But since there is no such goal, those people are hailed as heroes and their budgets are bloated even more, to cope with the “escalating” crisis.

    If we want to truly deal with the issue of drug abuse, we first need to decide what we want to do with addicts. Do we want them to live, or do we want them to vanish? If it is the latter, authorities must provide them with proper conditions to live out their lives until they are gone. If we cannot convince people that there is more to life than escaping from it, we should at least enable them to escape life with dignity until they are gone.

    At the same time, we should make drugs inaccessible, as simple as that. That is, if we are willing to cull the well-paying jobs of those in charge of “fighting” against drug abuse. If we genuinely choose to eliminate drugs, we should eliminate access to them. This is the first step.

    Then, we should offer a substitute. Not everyone will want it, but we should nevertheless offer a substitute that can satisfy the need that pushes at least some of the people into drug abuse and other forms of escapism.

    The substitute that we should offer drug users is supportive human connections. Just as the veterans from Vietnam, many of whom were heavy drug users while in service, stopped once they returned to their families, we should offer the same feeling to current addicts.

    This feeling of family warmth, acceptance, and the knowledge that people care about you, is the ingredient that is being depleted from society at the fastest rate. And without confidence and a sense of security, people will be afraid to face life and will opt for escapism. Human connection is the only antidote to drug abuse. It does not cost a thing, it does not pay top dollar, it has very poor PR, but it works like a charm. Making people feel welcome and safe will make them hooked on life.
