9. apparently he supports Che, serial psychopathic murderer of peasants

Communists didn't ever exist in the cold war, they were totalitarian bureaucratic dictators, Marx wrote Das Capital as a result of reading a 1778 anthropological paper about the culture of the eastern coastal native American culture. which was actually Communistic in nature, the People prevented suffering in their communities by helping the less fortunate... that doesnt sound so evil to me.

[mitchtv]

10. i was thinking more bureaucratic totalitarian sense

[alfredo]

19. I just like the picture.

[Swede]

4. Baaadass weed

Didn't see that option in the poll.

[Don_G]

5. I Don't Indulge Myself

But I have a cousin that's undergoing Chemotherapy and a little "weed" is the only thing that's keeping him eating right now.

In this case, I think a little "self-medication" is warrented.

[alfredo]

6. Was that 'A threat' vote a pity vote?

[DBoon]

7. Missing option

Lessss seee... I can't remember which one lemee take another toke OH MY GOD! PIZZA! sorry gotta go!

11. it is a threat

to the Bush crowd

[Wcross]

23. I wish Bill had tried while he had the chance! n/t

[nofurylike]

12. threat or menace to whom?

those, like asscroft, who recognize that global south and other of the u.s.' "resource colonies" and literal colonies could approach, if not attain economic independence, if not wealth, by supplying the world with one of Nature's finest (multi-multi-multipurpose) natural gifts?

if so, of course it's both, to them.

isn't making it illegal then against their lying global free trade schemes?

[Terwilliger]

13. other: A Scourge Upon Our Moral Character

Asscrust: "JUST don't tell them my nephews got a slap on the wrist for growing marijuana!!"

OnEdit: clarification

[sam sarrha]

14. Hemp is a serious threat the Oil companies, and Fascist Paper companies

paper is subsidized by strip mining forests off public lands at tax payers expense. We could become oil independent with Hemp oil that burns very clean and is renewable, Agricultural hemp has no drug in it. we could sustain fiber needs on 20% of the land now being ruined by clear cutting. Hemp was made illegal soon after Dupont filed a patient for making acid paper from pine trees and bought off elected politicians make it illegal and acquire access to public lands. he bids are ridiculously cheap and the state has to cut the roads into the sites... making the product eventually free and destroying all competition. Ag hemp could be a 150 billion industry nearly overnight and no one would get high, but the Chinese who sell it to us would be hopp'n mad.

20. tree paper, one of the best examples of a grossly wasteful process

that can be done better and more efficiently..

25. Ever hear of

William Ranfoph Hearst?

http://www.greenspun.com/com/zpub/sf/history/willh.html

During the years 1916-1937, William Randolph Hearst created a yellow journalism campaign to associate hemp with marijuana. Even though smoking hemp, like most fibers, will just make you sick, Hearst, along with his friend Pierre Dupont, succeeded in outlawing hemp in America. They actually robbed the world of an environmental cash crop.

Why would they do such a thing? Because instead of using hemp for paper, clothing, fuel, oils, resins, medicines, and many other uses, we now use paper and synthetic petrochemicals. Hearst owned huge forests and interests in lumber mills. Dupont made synthetic fuels and fibers (nylon, rayon, plastics) from petroleum.

29. Hemp helped win the war

During World War II, hemp was grown in several US states to make up for shortages of material from East Asia. In fact, even Poppy Bush was saved by hemp as the riggings in his parachute were made from hemp, his airplane's engine was partially lubricated by hempseed oil, and the firehoses on his ship and the prep schools he attended were made from, you guessed it, hemp.

ATTN FREEPERS: You CANNOT get high from smoking hemp!

[George_Bonanza]

34. So true

Hemp cannot be smoked for a high. It's not the exact same plant as marijuana.

[_NorCal_D_]

15. A

weapon of mass destruction utilized by vile, hippie usurpers and terrorists?
:shrug:

(According to Ashcroft, of course.:))

[Interrobang]

16. You forgot "Fun!"

I need some. I'm so stressed out about taking the GRE, getting my ID in order, paying off a bill I forgot to pay for two months, and everything that I can hardly sleep.

[trof]

17. My GOD, man!

Haven't you ever seen "Devil's Harvest" or "Reefer Madness"?




see the movie "Reefer Madness" here:

[mitchum]

18. not a drug (unlike refined sugar)

[Wcross]

22. Uh, what was the question?

Marijuana is neither a threat no a menace. It is a gift from our creator that helps us in oh so many ways. Nothing like a big ole fatty at the end of the day.

[Swede]

24. I love you sweetleaf

cough cough cough cough cough...........

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

26. I OBJECT

These polls have been rather lousy the past few days.

[Red_Storm]

28. Abstain From Voting

[Best_man23]

30. In the words of Ashley Roachclip of the Jefferson Hairpie

"Those of you out there who think marajuana shouldn't be legalized, well you're all f***ed!"

[rbnyc]

31. Ooops, I thought it said "A Treat!"

:smoke:

[peacefreak]

32. OOOOOpppppppssss

I thought it was a continuation of KCDem's brownie thread!

[Nikia]

33. A gift from God

I went to the Midewest Marijuana Harvest Fest in Madison, WI this Saturday and I was rather moved by the speeches. Really, marijuana is good and Ashcroft, Bush, and Chaney are murders, thieves, and liars. That's what Ed Rosenthal said anyway.

[deaniebopper]

35. Your mind is so fogged you can't even make a poll
