Opium poppy seeds defined as "drugs" by the federal government. Otherwise known as a natural plant.

Heroin...It's natural so it's gotta be okay just like 7water Hemlock, which is also natural. Gets old reading how people who just wanna get high preach how it being natural makes it innocuous. No one was put on this earth to get drunk or high but it's amazing how many spend their short time here chasing just that.

Get help Sam.

Moreover, pot is not heroin. I can go to a weed shop and buy all I want legally. I don't. Getting high has nothing to do with this. I can also go and get piss drunk wasted legally in many places if I want, but I don't do that either (well, at least very very few places, and only where such behavior is acceptable and expected). Typical weak argument. This is more about one's philosophy on the role of government, priorities, and utilization of limited resources, not about the legality of a plant, or a mushroom. Or even the world's oldest profession.

The amount of people we have on legal and synthetic chemicals in this country is beyond crisis levels. Human beings are largely no longer human because their brains have been modified by the drugs they're put on, legally dispensed. Those who dispense these legal synthetic chemicals should be in jail for stealing from people the essence of being human. It's something to cry, fight, rally to change. Our world has lost itself due to things synthesized in some lab. People just don't see it.

However, as much of a homeopath as I am, nobody was put here to be drug controlled natural or unnatural just like u weren't sent here to ingest hemlock.

Deal with life in all it's ugliness instead of escaping through drugs and alcohol. I don't believe NFL players mostly smoke weed for pain. It's done for pleasure.

I think cannabis should have it's pain properties isolated and put in pill form. Ironic, that I'm for this kind of synthesis but... I've always contended that dopers have driven this legalization crusade under the guise of false pretenses. Put the pain relief in a pot pill and tell the dopers they can't get high from smoking. The legalization movement would die if people knew they couldn't smoke to get high. I'd just laugh thinking those dopers cried about how it was good for pain. Great. Here's your pot pain pill. You don't get to smoke it. Those dopers would revolt because it has always been about getting high. I will remain strongly against legalization because it's premise is a lie.

I should have noted that tax revenue is another cry of the dopers. Yup. Put it in an OTC pain pill and you'll get 10x the tax revenue generated, but, again, it's never been about pain management or tax revenue...The liars just wanna get high.

You must be smoking some very strong stuff!

[list=1]Only time I've heard the Police turn a blind eye is (sometimes) when

Who cares though? Pretty much everything people want is driven by pleasure. People don't put seasoning on their food because they need it but because the taste gives them pleasure. If someone wants to put garlic salt in their fruit loops I don't give a shit even though that sounds disgusting to me. If someone wants to smoke a joint in their house because it makes them happy who cares. I enjoy a glass of bourbon here and there but I don't really feel like it's "helping me deal with the ugliness of life" or anything like that nevertheless I still find it pleasureable, same with beer or wine. It would be pretty annoying if someone tried to stop me from doing that just because they view my reasons differently.

People enjoy smoking cigs or cigars but that behavior impacts me so it's rightfully banned in public places. Your right for pleasure ends where it infringes on my rights. Having a public high on marijuana is a baffling thing to try and enable.

People love cocaine, heroin, meth. .. just let them do it because it's pleasurable? No.

I'm fine with people who want to use alcohol in very moderate amounts. More than that is disgraceful IMO. U R not here to be high or drunk...Murder. Steal. Etc. I don't care who enjoys it.

Drunks wanna drink...Dopers wanna get high...And kids wanna eat junk food all day.
