smoking and usage

I think everyone on here...even the ones that just read and don't have an account should write to their congressman and present the hard facts. Weed is safer than alcohol. It's less addicting than coffee. It wouldn't be a gateway drug if it was legal because no one would need anything else if they weed was easier to get. No one can overdose on weed. There are also no long term effects. These are proven studies by many different groups of researchers. The list goes on and on. The only thing the government knows is the falsehoods and myths.

I'm telling you all...it's a revolution

Number one weed is easier to get than alcohol i'm in highschool and i can get a dime bag in 5 min no problem. The other thing is i wrote my congressman and I got NO REPLY so I guess that route is not the way to go THEY DONT CARE which really sucks. and as you say in the bottom its a revolution, if your serious what would be the way to do it I thought about it and thought if a couple thousand people marched on washington it might change the laws what do you think

im not gonna bother

the facts about weed have been out and many of the politicains have used it at one time or another in their lives. the reason it's illigal is because it's been illigal. if there was an industry (like the cigarette industry) that lobbied representives then we would be likely to have sum change.

i think every year on april 20th we should have a "civil rights" march up in Washington D.C. with signs saying stuff like "free pot" "it's norml to smoke pot" and countless other signs in that direction

who's with me?

If you're marchin around with a sign saying "free pot" you do realise that you will be dissapointing a lot of people if you don't have enough to give out....

thats pretty funny eome but a march would be good but you see no one is serious about it no one thinks it could work, I do but a lot of others dont

cradleofganja · #9 (**permalink**) 04-12-2002, 09:04 PM

it dont amtter how much they know about it, all the people that want to keep it illegal are the ones that pay for them to get into office so that they dont make it legal

There is the Annual Million Marijuana March, that already happens but it's in May I think. We're going this year, fully blazin'! You all should too!

Make a difference!

The problem with weed is that most of the time smoking it makes you mellow.....not exactly condusive to starting a revolution!

However, I think it's fully possible to indulge in it AND be a responsible citizen and it's a shame that the younger generation doesn't make more of an effort to vote and get more liberal people into office.

I do think a big march in Washington could be very effective if the people marching conducted themselves in a respectful and intelligent way. We aren't going to win any battles by representing the sterotype of a bunch of lazy and dumb stoners. Instead, it would be great to send a message that you can smoke and still have productive lives. And the point should be made that it's much less harmful than other legal substances.

No, a march like this isn't going to change laws overnight, but what's even more important is that if it was done *right* it would get good media coverage and would perhaps educate people and make them question our backasswards laws. I think it's important that we make an effort to know the facts about marijuana and be able to defend our point of view logically.

I'd also love to see some kind of local participation on 4/20...something as simple as driving with your lights on, or wearing green or something to signify that you support legalization. Given the power of the internet, if someone decided to start some kind of movement like this, it has the potential for the idea to reach enough people that a lot of people would participate. Again, it's not going to change laws immediately, but it will bring an awareness of the issue to people. (And it would let you spot fellow smokers! Heh.)

Drive with your lights on all new cars already do that anyway the key word is "right" if everyone was blazed and staring at their hands amazed it would destory any progress that has been made. By the way where is that million marijuana march thing.

yes, one vote or letter is meaningless. a barrage of letters makes a difference. they tally it up, number of letters, phone calls, emails, ni that order of strength. it is how much time the person spent on the action. letters take longer. phone calls are pretty easy. emails are lazyman action.

amazing! 'marijuana is less addictive than coffee'! that has an excellent ring to it. everyone knows the level of addictiveness of coffee and everyone is okay with it. weed is less. good work doobieman, i smell legalization! no, wait, it's just the bong.
