Much as a cup or 2 or 3 of coffee in the AM doesn't harm -- but after the 3rd or 4th pot of the stuff you're a little wacky. Moderation is the key. If one can freely relax after a hard day of fighting government with a scotch, I'm sure one can also do it with a joint without much peril.<br /><br />I'm sure one can find any number of historians who will argue the issue one way or the other -- but that's all opinion -- for none of the founding fathers actually wrote "Man, that hemp was a good smoke" or something-- but they all grew it -- and knew of its various properties. And they all had ample access to Indians - who all smoked it. <br /><br />The weirdest thing? The DEA is charged with eradicating the "weed" -- and when they get close the EPA will have to step in to preserve it as an endangered species! <br /><br />ChuckEf -- as a former member of the Louisiana Alligator Farmers Association -- I can assure you -- none of this is related to gators.

The roots of the drug laws were racist in nature. Prior to worrying about the Chinese and African-Americans on drugs, people the world over consumed these things. To be fair, they were for the most part unaware of the consequences but still, the roots of prohibition (of drugs and marijuana) had little to do with "health" - that was just the excuse.

Many of the founding fathers notated in letters their pleasure in smoking marijuana, Including Washington, Madison, Monroe, Jefferson & Andrew Jackson. Then there was Ben Franklin. He was most definitely the biggest drug user of his day, but still found the time to discover electricity, invent several things, and publish a periodical that is still in print today.Geoff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702402850031773761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-60888490306607342342014-05-25T18:19:16.267-05:002014-05-25T18:19:16.267-05:00George Washington not only grew hemp, but wrote ex...George Washington not only grew hemp, but wrote extensively on how to produce female plants over male plants.

(I have friends who didn't graduate college until their mid-30s, and then went to work for the government, where they expect to retire some time in their 50s) I had a great time in school, and if they'd have let me stay and someone else would have been paying the bill, I'd still be there too!<br /><br />Of course, we now see that phenomenon here as well. Sandra Fluke, the middle-aged women who was so upset that we weren't subsidizing her recreational sex made it to the 26th grade before she finally left. It never occurred to her or her feminist sisterhood that at any other time in our history, this might this station in life would have been embarrassing. I can understand women who don't want to be totally dependent upon a husband. But they think nothing of being totally dependent upon a state.<br /><br />You are so right. Pain is a vital part of the feedback mechanism that no longer exists. So like spoiled children, they'll keep pushing and pushing until there is pain.<br /><br />Yes, @Stilton, we'll finally be a "fair" nation because we'll all have "access" to waiting rooms. But this has always been the end result of socialism, the "poor" remain poor. It's the middle class that takes it on the chin with the more equally distributed misery. Unfortunately, my idiotic acquaintance yesterday won't figure that out until it actually hits him, just like millions of others didn't give ObamaCare a serious thought until they got the cancellation notice, and then saw what the exchanges had to offer.<br /><br />@Colby, life in an echo chamber does that. Our universities are certainly good examples of the phenomenon.

People didn't lock their doors or their cars, and out away from the city, you never found harsh drugs . . . just some occasional weed (which was really a joke 'cause it had such low levels of THC) and booze.
