You're right, U.S. imperialism is bad. I'm not saying it wasn't I was just wanting to get out that it was the U.S. basic foreign policy model based around a world police ideology that is the cause not some conspiracy. Since WWII most americans believe their country was chosen to lead the rest of the world. Look at Rome, Egypt, China, Japan, Nazi Germany as the most famous historical examples of this same type of ideology. In the U.S. we call this ideology the neo-conservative political view. As soon as this ideology looses steam, which it currently is loosing, we will stop playing the world's police.
As far as the war on drugs we agree on everything except the cause of the problem and the obsticles we need to overcome. I'm saying we need to change the lie based mindset of the past for a new one with facts. You are saying there is some sort of economic conspiracy comprised of 20-100 individuals who run the scenes. I think the fight is against public ignorance and you think we need to overcome a pharmacutical governmental complex.

Quote:
EntheogenicPeace said: Perhaps the biggest scaremonger in American history regarding "drugs", specifically cannabis, was William Randolph Hearst, the biggest newspaper & magazine tycoon in America at the time, who stood to lose a fortune if the source of paper turned from timber to hemp.
Owning media outlets doesn't equate to having an invested interest in stopping cannabis from being legal. If anything he would prefer the cheaper source of paper, provided he doesn't hold a significant share of any paper producing company. Even so what is stopping said companies from diversifying their paper production to incorporate cannabis paper? There is no inherent barrier for paper companies to fear the production of cannibis paper since they can branch into that means of production as well as using the current sources: trees, recycled and grass.
Quote:
Andrew Mellon, founder of Gulf Oil Corporation, created the Federal Bureau of Narcotics while he was Secretary of the Treasury. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry Anslinger, to run the newly-created department. Anslinger would work hand in hand with Hearse in an over-the-top propaganda campaign (think Reefer Madness) to vilify the "devil's weed".
good example
Quote:
Another hugely influential entity at the time of cannabis prohibition was the Du Pont Chemical company, which had patents on many synthetic chemicals that would make them billions in the future so long as cheaper, more sustainable & environmentally-friendly hemp alternative were prevented from be utilized. This competition between the two sources (these newly-created chemicals & hemp) covered a wide range of products; paper, gasoline additives, fiber, & plastics.
good example.

IMO! I think it should be legal -People that have illnesses would be happy -People knowing there going to die would be not as depressed. -Why go die in a war for your country if you cant do something you enjoy -Stop lieing to yourself there are more people that smoke the ganja then they say do. -It's easier to get then Alcohol(if your not of age) -Just because the government legalizes it doesn't mean they have to be the ones distributing it. I'm not saying support terrorism(grow your own) -Sativa highs will motivate people unlike the indica highs, where will be on "Pete's couch" -I would rather have a high driver then a drunk driver -Make people go to High driver's school or something.. -The people that don't do shit when they are high are missing out. -Be responsible about it. -Scientist know stuff. This stuff they know usually changes over the years to completely different ideas. -God gave us free will. and 10 commandments. Smoking wasn't on there. -Study history study history- W. Churchill "Prohibition doesn't work." -God gave us ganja for a reason. The reason is unknown. -Arrest one drug dealer and more will rise. -Shits already super available -Prisons are overcrowded. Why fuck peoples futures up because they wanted to experience something life has to offer. -It's our own body, let us do what we want with it. -You only live onces, and right now the sky is the limit for most of us.....Let people get high. -MJ doesn't kill people, people kill people. -America is fat, it might get fatter. -MJ makes me stupid as fuck some times and sometimes i feel like i think outside the box and become more creative. -I would rather go to a Tree bar then a Hookah bar.
These are my thoughts. P.S. Drugs have caused many breakthroughs in technology that we probably wouldn't have had if it wasn't for drug use.

I have mixed feelings about marijuana legalization. On one hand, It would be awesome to be able to spark up at a bus stop or the smoking area of a restaurant. On the other, cigarette companies would likely start marketing over-priced and low-potency marijauna. When Hell freezes and the USA legalizes, I would think that privately growing and selling would still be outlawed. I can see Camel marketing an exotic marijuana cigarette that is 60% tobacco and 40% ow-potency marijuana. Id rather take my chances with buying from one of my close friends

GREAT debate, some very valid points raised.
Of the people, by the people indeed.
