The little-told story of how the U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition. - By Deborah Blum - Slate Magazine
damn I never heard of that. That was a good article. I always thought if the government ever did do anything to our weed it would be after its legalized. Like some kind of a nicotine put into it so it does become addictive like ciggs.
Already been mentioned but I thought I would grace this thread with a PDF. http://www.rdjehn.addr.com/Docs/ParaquatPot.pdf
If the gov't puts nicotine in my ganja I vote la revolucion! lol More likely it would be the companies selling the weed that would put nicotine in it, so i think i'll probably just grow my own when its legal
Yeah, one of the bigger reasons why weed is becoming more accepted in the US is because the government tried to poison it. People got pissed and started growing their own shit and now we have our own weed markets startin up
Why does everyone seem too think that if MJ is legalized that the big bad evil companies will put nicotine in our gangja? Don't you think that most pot smokers don't want nicotine in their weed therefore the big bad evil companies WON'T put nicotine in there. Nevermind. This isn't what this topic is even about.
I remember learning this 3 years ago back in HS, pretty fucked up the government would do shit like that. But hey they've done a lot worse.
Well hey! They started putting addictive chemicals and shit in our alcohol, grain, water... Just because there's a lot of shit in cigs doesn't mean MJ will have it. If that happened in today's society, most people simply wouldn't buy it from a big company once they found out.
