Theory: Marijuana is the corperation killer, if legalized the three largest corperations(oil, petro-chemical, pharmacutical) will fall. Due to the fact that cannabis creates better products, and less hazordous products then these are. You can't patient a plant so make it illegal.
Why do they keep perpetuating the lies over and over agian? Why does GW bush say, "DRUGS threatten EVERYTHING?" Why does the goverment even need to lie? even then(1937)? Marijuana kills everyone (refer madness), when it turns out, it kills NOBODY?
Marijuana is a perfect example on how corperations hold more weight in the world!
[[[[[[ Dr. Daniel Angres, a drug counselor and parent, is alarmed at how casual many parents have become about their children smoking pot.
"Their attitude is, thank God it's not cocaine or Ecstasy," he said. "This is so frightening to me."
Angres, director of a drug treatment program at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, has joined a government-sponsored campaign to wake up parents about the dangers of marijuana.
On Thursday, Angres spoke about the campaign, launched by the White House drug czar, that includes ads, Web sites and partnerships with influential groups such as the National PTA and American Medical Association.
Angres and other experts detailed some of the scary stuff researchers are discovering:
* The percentage of eighth-graders who smoke marijuana has doubled in the last decade, to 20 percent.
* More kids enter rehab for pot than for all other drugs combined.
* One out of 11 pot smokers becomes addicted.
* The concentration of marijuana's active ingredient, THC, is 30 times higher today than 20 years ago.
* Kids who smoke pot are more likely to get poor grades, engage in risky sex, cut classes, steal, attack people, destroy property and have difficulty concentrating and remembering.
* The younger kids are when they first smoke marijuana, the more likely it is they will abuse drugs as adults. But if they haven't smoked pot by 17, they probably never will.
Parents have more influence than they may think. One survey found that only 7 percent of kids 12-17 who believe their parents would strongly disapprove if they tried pot once or twice had used an illegal drug in the last 30 days. But 31 percent of kids who said their parents wouldn't strongly disapprove used an illegal drug.
Here are some things experts say parents can do to keep kids off pot:
Strongly prohibit marijuana, and if you catch kids smoking, punish them. Eat dinner together. Know who your children's friends are and what they're doing.

Drug Policy Director Warns Parents Against Trivializing the Dangers of Marijuana Use to Their Kids
The Associated Press ABC News
Sept. 17 — The nation's drug policy director warned parents Tuesday against trivializing the dangers of marijuana to their kids, warning them that more teens are addicted to pot than to alcohol or to all other illegal drugs combined.
Many parents and children have outdated perceptions about marijuana, said John Walters, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. They believe marijuana is not addictive, that it's less dangerous than cigarettes or that it has few long-term health consequences.
In reality, more teens enter rehabilitation centers to treat marijuana addiction than alcohol or all other illegal drugs combined, Walters said.
"Our effort is to correct the ignorance that is the single biggest obstacle to protecting our kids," he said as he announced an advertising campaign by his office and 17 education, public health, anti-drug and family advocacy groups.
The national effort will include advertisements on television, radio and print media, along with ones that will air in NFL stadiums and inside game programs.
"For too long our nation's teens have been getting the wrong message about marijuana. Youth popular culture has trivialized the real harm of marijuana in kids," Walters said.
A common misperception is that smoking marijuana is less dangerous than smoking a cigarette, said Surgeon General Richard Carmona. But marijuana contains three to five times more tar and carbon monoxide than a comparable amount of tobacco, he said. It also affects the brain in ways similar to cocaine and heroin.
Carmona said that one out of five eighth-graders has tried marijuana twice as many who tried it a decade ago.
"Marijuana is not a rite of passage but a dangerous behavior that could have serious health consequences. Parents must realize that what they tell their children about drug use makes a difference," Carmona said.
Marsha Rosenbaum, director of the Safety First Project of the Drug Policy Alliance, disputed some of Walters' figures. "What can he possibly be talking about?" she said. "Alcohol dwarfs marijuana in terms of use. It's true that half of high school students have experimented with marijuana, but 80 percent have used alcohol."
Rosenbaum, whose project is meant to educate parents about teenagers and drugs, said: "The notion that marijuana is addictive, as evidenced by increased treatment rolls, is misleading. ... When young people are caught they have a choice between getting kicked out of school, losing their jobs or going to treatment. What would you do?"
The result, Rosenbaum said, is that teenagers are counted as addicts "even if they simply smoked a joint on Saturday night."
The Drug Policy Alliance describes itself as independent drug policy reform group which promotes alternatives to the war on drugs.
In Washington, Dr. Richard Corlin, former president of the American Medical Association, urged parents, teachers, doctors and anyone else working with children to stop sending conflicting signals.
"We must lead by example and not use marijuana ourselves or condone its use by anyone of any age," he said.
"We'd rather kids didn't use drugs," Rosenbaum agreed. "But we need to educate them properly and be there to help them out if they do get into trouble."

Whats you explaination for all this man?
The reason i believe the bible and not christians is that, the bible says that in the end, NOBODY can't point to the coming of christ, for christ will BE FOUND IN YOURSELF! The anti-christ is anti finding god in yourself. Tim leary was declared the most dangerous man on earth!
" Questions about psychedelics remain unanswered because our basic questions about consciousness remains unanswered " -Timothy Leary
I believe that if we ever understand consciousness then we may just figure out god, our origins, life and its purposes. All of these questions remains unanswered to this date. I believe that all people are connected by there subconsciousness.
I believe that the bible means god in self, by the 3rd eye. The 3rd Eye (which really isn't an eye, more like an organ in your head) is god. God is a state of mind. When early scientist cracked open the head they couldn't find a reason for this organ. What does it do? What is its purpose? Under the influence of (visionary plants) chemicals, dreams, or apon death the organ is activated. This organ is responsible for our consciousness. When these plants alter our consciousness than MANY people get a sense of god. This is only because god is a state of mind and that god is in YOU!
Or im just crazy i guess
