"marijuana and violence are linked"

George W Revives Reefer Madness

President Bush has ordered America's drug agencies to switch resources from fighting cocaine and heroin to marijuana, according to a report on this week's Observer.

"Unfortunately a lot of today's parents are under the impression marijuana is harmless and that their kids trying it is some kind of rite of passage," said US drug chief Jennifer de Vallance, explaining the surprising policy switch.

"Today's forms are much stronger and potentially more harmful," she claimed.

The latest Republican crackdown on spliff came two years after the Bush administration circulated a memo urging prosecutors to show no mercy to smokers, declaring "marijuana and violence are linked . . . no drug matches the threat posed by marijuana.

Pot smokers hoping for more rationality if Democratic Presidential John Kerry gets elected, however, are likely to be disappointed according to an alarming report published in Reason magazine last week.

"Anyone who thinks a vote for John Kerry means a vote for a more liberalized approach to drug policy should think again," warned Mike Krause and Dave Kopel from the respected US think tank the Independence Institute.

"Candidate Kerry's choice for Homeland Security Advisor, Rand Beers, is a seasoned drug warrior who has already shown his loyalty to the well being of the drug war, no matter how many lives it destroys, or how many narco- terrorists are enriched along the way," they revealed.

Bush isn't the only one, read the post again. Kerry would continue us down the same path.

I honestly believe that the candidates this election are the worst this country has seen, at least most certainly in my life time. Anyone who would say something so rediculous has obviously never smoked it. People who have opinions on something they know nothing about are soooo supremely naive. I wish the worst on both of these bastards.

i never said kerry wasnt an idiot :wink:

i just think bush is a bigger idiot

i dont care if weed is illegal, doesnt stop me ever having any problems finding it.

i just think there are MUCH better things to focus attention on than fighting potheads

Ya, this is especially true in Colorado. And yes, anything would be more important then focusing on MJ.

i think this is really funny. there will always be crack cocaine and marijuana no matter how hard they try, but switchin resources from fightin cocaine and heroin to marijuana is jus stupid. coke and heroin do so much more harm

[Jibgolly]

they're not concerned with marijuana abuse.
they're worried about getting votes from the "Geriatrics of America" clubs. the old people in this country look at pot the same way they look at these other hard drugs: cocaine and heroin.
they have no concept of the good marijuana could do medicinally. nor do they care to hear these good possibities.
bush and kerry are both former partiers and merely seeking the votes. thats all this war on drugs is about in the first place. its a HUGE waste of tax payer dollars too. it's getting them nowhere.

I have no religious inclination whatsoever but I know George Dubya is fond of the good book. Maybe he should read it again.

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Psalms104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

Psalms104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.


and in the timeless words of Mr Bill Hicks:

And on the seventh day, god stepped back and said "There is my creation, perfect in every way... oh, dammit I left pot all over the place. Now they'll think I want them to smoke it... Now I have to create republicans."

[master of puppets]

Fuck him, this motherfucker only speaks shit, I smoke pot all the fucking day and the most violent thing I do was smash a cocroach, what an idiot.
God forgive him.

[peloquin]
