Well Stretch, over the years I have come to love your knowledge of history and politics. You would probably make a good politcian or maybe an economic advisor. But the problem is you guys dont know current trends or have the ability to use street sense and apply it to politics.
Anyway here is the last reason why I think cannabis really will become legal this election or next one.
In this day and age, Cannabis is becoming more popular and well known. People are realizing all the propaganda bullshit which means more and more kids are smoking at younger ages. Back in the 70s,80s,even 90s, most people would be smoking marijuana when there 16-19 years old for there first time. Thats not the case now. Kids now will be smoking when there 12-14 years old for there first time. Now heres the problem.
Cannabis is a gate way drug to cocaine, speed and other drugs. (Yes i admit it)
Because kids are smoking at this young age, kids at the age of 15-16 are getting over weed and want to try new drugs. Introducing Cocaine, or meth! Believe it or not there are a shitload of freshmen in Highschool who are into cocaine.
Because these kids are so young, they abuse the drug like no other and have no brains to figure out what there doing. This leads to an increase in crime as well as increase in demand for cocaine.
Now MTV is practically supporting cocaine. Rick Ross, a MAINSTREAM RAPPER, has every song about cocaine! There cool songs, but come on this guy is making cocaine more fucking mainstream. Have you bought his cd? every song is about cocaine. Yes, every song! There tight songs but he is creating a big problem.
Within the next year I gurantee the DEA will release reports about how there is a rise in Cocaine.
Cocaine is going to create a big problem because of the fact its so easy to abuse.
How will the DEA handle it? They will legalize marijuana and focus on all the other drugs. (Meth, Cocaine, Heroin, MDMA (xtc)
I tried cocaine for the first time when I was 18. Since then I havent done it more then a dozen times. Its a shitty drug and costs to much goddam money!
Another issue is fucking Robitusin and these dumb ass kids drinking cough syrup to get high. The chemical in it is called DXM. Now I have tried almost every recreational drug there is - Cannabis, Hash, Shrooms, Cocaine, LSD (acid), DXM, MDMA xtc, Salvia, Datura, Peyote, Morning Glory, all the 2C chemicals, PCP, pharmmies- Xanax, Valium, Vikdin,
I have never tried any opiates (Heroin, OXY, Opium) because I dont feel like having a phsyical addiction. Anyway PCP was shitty but was totally different then what the news describes it as.
The craziest one was probably Datura.
I really love drugs and made a vow to try em all atleast once.
Infact the only drugs ive done more then once are cocaine and marijuana and xanax. The rest were just expirments. Anyway the worse is probably DXM. This shit makes you fucking retarded! Believe it or not, drinking 900% more cough syrup then your body should have, makes you retarded! DXM is going to fuck this country over as well as cocaine.
Anyway I went off on a rant but the point is. Cannabis will be legal because the bigger issue among children is going to be Cocaine and Meth and other drugs.
The government will no longer give a shit about un productive people (us weed heads) once the rise in robberies, assault and other violence happens.
