Anonymous Coward User ID: 32938997 United States 03/20/2013 07:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the many reasons I could never become a cop. I just couldn't rationalize it morally for me to be out arresting people for growing marjiuana when I should be out hunting murderers and rapists. Just one of the many pointless tasks our police are forced to endure (and other even more meaningless arrests) instead of actual real arrests of the criminals that are a threat to the people. No wonder the lines start to blur and corrupt cops are created; forced to arrest people for meaningless trivial offenses that may or may not be even morally wrong, day in and day out between the occasional actual REAL criminal arrest.

[link to www.mapinc.org] Barnwell et al conclude: "Participants who used cannabis seven days a week demonstrated no difference from non-cannabis users on indices of motivation. These findings refute hypothesized associations between heavy cannabis use and low motivation ... Daily users reported slightly lower median subjective well-being scores ( 2 points less on a 28-point scale ) ... Post-hoc tests find that some portion of the differences in subjective wellbeing arose from medical users, whose illnesses may contribute to low subjective wellbeing more than their cannabis use." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22611250 United States 03/20/2013 07:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Stoopid police and prosecutors, smh. Worthless jobs, but they must uphold the drug war to keep their sorry asses employed. A large percentage of the "good ol Amurrica" middle class would be homeless if it' wasn't for the black and latino's they prey upon. the prison system, probation system, drug testing companies, law enforcement community, are all connected and dependent on the drug war. The drug war in reality is a form of welfare -for a class of home bred americans who traditionally would be in manufacturing positions. It is obvious, users and supporters of cannabis are on average smarter than non pot smokers. Another HUGE reason for the drug laws is to keep money out the hands of the people. Drugs, for the most part, are conducted in local markets. Empires, Nations, and corporations are built with drug profit, always have been. God forbid blacks and latinos profit from the sale of cannabis and use that money to build up community. |

Then, they will have only government regulated places sell it. And they will have the mark.seal in order to sell it, and you will take the mark.seal so you can buy your marijuana, food, water, medicine, ect. [link to www.john1429.org] Those that don't get permission to be authorized sellers, wont be able to grow it either for yourself. Same with livestock, and home gardens. People think making marijuana legal is great, but they have a much deeper agenda. BTW, the "medical marijuana" that they will sell, and are selling now, has been genetically engineered. It will, like the GMO food, change your DNA. And make you easier to control.

Hoardes of trigger happy, power crazed, brain dead cops swarming around looking for someone to terrorise. Let them have the stoners as fodder and keep your heads down. |
