already been answered above stupid

"honestly whens the last time you heard anyone but a marijuana smoker mention wanting marijuana products?"

im here, surprise son

stay mad/dumb

you mentioned marijuana raw material not refined products.

learn to comprehend a conversation before commenting.

wow thats so surprising! when the topic clearly points to the most widely spread method of marijuana consumption
how does one become so dum?

"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields" - Henry Ford

Also, Henry Ford used hemp in the body of his Model T and for fuel...Really I don't know where you're coming from. Your dissent appears baseless.

Also, you should research William Randolph Hearst to get a feel for where prohibition comes from.

And really, I'm not certain why it's relevant that cannabis smokers advocate legalization. Whether or not their intentions are economical or recreational, they still raise valid points.

The reason it was illegal was because of bad business... If it wasn't for public information control, 99% of the against marijuana crowd wouldn't exist...

I don't see how it endangers the safety of others in a free society. Marijuana definitely isn't a violent drug. We could lose some economic productivity, but wouldn't employers just fire and rehire if they became a problem?

There will always be a small percentage who abuse their liberties. But this minority will exist regardless of its legal status.

The disciplined people who can control themselves would be the ones rewarded from legalization and vice versa for the ones who can't.

because all they do is hurt their own cause. kind of like no matter how logical and right you are if you have 1000 convicted pedophiles holding hands with little boys agreeing you then no one is going to take you seriously. this is just how peoples minds work.

deforestation is clearly a bad thing and yes it was stupid that marijuana didn't get its chance at industrial usage. the thing is however that these arguments aren't going to change he average citizens mind because of the current marijuana culture bias.

now post #2

you do realize how easy it is to learn everything there is to know about marijuana these days right? don't blame public information control when the reality is most people don't care to change.

legalized it would have a new market of stupid people to make irresponsible decisions under the influence. its not that in itself its dangerous but rather the more users out there the more likely chance one of them is going to do something stupid while high.

losing jobs would be from having to change entire factories hardware out which would end up being brand new machines that would require less workers to make the product. i was never referring to people being high on the job.

that minority is all it takes to sway public opinion because they are the ones getting attention while a responsible user won't get a second look. again this is just how people are so get use to it.

blame the popular marijuana culture for why its illegal today and stop trying to argue it with henry fords model t and deforestation because for the average citizen these aren't valid point because all they see is hippie talk and irrelevant stuff from forever ago.

start factoring in the human condition and you'll see why you are wasting your time trying to not only change 1 person...but millions of them.

So is your argument cannabis has no place in a market or cannabis has a steep hill to climb before it will be accepted? By the way, it's climbing that hill (hence med states)

PURE mdma

it has a tough fight is what im saying. there are plenty of markets that could use a new material platform but public opinion is a bitch to bypass.

I'm afraid to say you are very right ><
