gerbil Posted December 5, 2002 good article, Why is it though, that the myth about use leading to harder drugs is (was) a huge argument to keep it illegal, but now that it has been proved wrong, nothing will be done about it?? With many governments arguments aswell about black market trade etc. If people grow their own medicine and keep it for themselves, how can this cause a problem with drug trade? if anything it stops it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Governments don't lie to us, they just inform us of the voting majority's opinion. In my opinion anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted December 6, 2002 In most cases the voting majority has no opinion, so "Big Brother"(not meaning crappy tv show)makes it up for them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh, so you're saying that governments construct the opinion of the voting majority? By voting majority I mean the people who are trying to do the right thing, but don't think outside of the current social paradigm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted December 6, 2002 "By voting majority I mean the people who are trying to do the right thing" -peas-pipe but their opinion of the right thing is something completely different in my mind, I think that alot of their opinions are really other peoples, but these people are basically brainwashed and can't think for themselves, as the government assures these voters that they are "doing the best thing for its people" just my take on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbanhog Posted December 9, 2002 maybe its called "gateaway drug" because if you buy weed from your dealer, don't be surprised if your dealer also supplies "other products" its all part of business right? Your contact to the dealer leads you "get away" to other drugs! Grow your OWN! Sod the dealers, OVERGROW the goverment! and let them drain more taxpayers money on "WAR ON DRUGS" and let these goverment departments and the police make fool of themselves with aid of the useful media!

Auxin Posted December 9, 2002 If they no longer claim that cannabis CAUSES heroin addiction maby one of these days they might 'discover' that heroin causes heroin addiction! My question is, if the governments are giving up on their blatant odvious lies doesnt that mean that they are preparing more not so blatant lies? In my country the government pays researchers to 'study' pot with the understanding that if the data comes back supporting pot their funding will be cut and the research deemed non-credible.
