They're just jealous.

It reminds me of grammer school. All the underachievers and slackers were always jealous of the straight A students. The only time these students would apply themselves were during name calling and bullying sessions. I've run into some of those individuals in recent years. Not much has changed. They're STILL in "school".

So, smoking pot is "wrong" because it's illegal? So what? There is nothing immoral about smoking pot.

How about instead comparing populations who wish they were all dead? I think Canada is way ahead on that one.

Are there any foreign countries you do like?

Like as I do America? Love England for their loyalty and love in most cases, but nothing else is as good as America, is it?

If they laid off the drug lusts it would help them get over some of their problems IMO.

Why should they give up? It is the best way they can expand their powers and little kingdoms and steal your rights that they have ever come up with!

You know I was a drug user and a alcoholic for almost twenty five years and all that i can say that drugs abuse in general including smoking weed is not good for anybody's mental or physical well being.

The crap caused me no end of misery in the end.

I am almost fifty years old and i have been on the wagon for almost ten years.

I went to a liver specialist after the man told me if i did not quit using i would have liver problems.

Smoking weed is not harmless because if you smoke enough of that crap you will have bats in your belfry and it will have you thinking and acting out perverted things.

A person like that would really need god in their lives and they should beg for god's wisdom and providence.

There is nothing good that comes from drug abuse.

TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

That's a given, but not what I asked. So England is the whole list.

Which is the bigger evil? Someone smoking pot or the some policeman taking a person's money just because a cop THINKS that it might be somehow linked to the sale of pot?

The sole purpose of using marijuana is to alter ones perception. Furthermore, marijuana is a gateway drug. One can enjoy alcohol without getting drunk provided it is in moderation. Tobacco doesn't kill everyone who smokes. I've known several individuals personally who died at a good old age of natural causes after smoking all their lives. Tobacco, unlike heroin, is only addictive to some. I've known several relatives and friends who had gone cold turkey. No patches. No gum. Nothing. And they never suffered any symptoms of withdrawal.

The Vatican is nice, and there are many there on hand for your confessions as well! :-)

I know it is more a principality, but it is a good one.

What is the Vatican's view on drug abuse and the misinterpretation of the Bible to push drugs?
They don't approve, go read Vatican position on drugs and repent! LOL

You pass a joint to the left when you smoke pot.



Musical Youth--Pass The Dutchie

This generation
Rules the nation
With version

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

Sir, it is not a question of lesser evil. It is a question of right and wrong. An individual would not have to worry about seizure of personal property if they are law abiding citizens.

The sole purpose of using marijuana is to alter ones perception.

Much like alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine. All are intended to alter the brain's chemistry in order to stimulate or depress.

Tobacco, unlike heroin, is only addictive to some.

Wait, are you talking about marijuana, or heroin?

Sure. And you're all going to Hell for removing that tag from your mattress. Repent!

"because it's illegal?"

You assume too much. It is wrong because it is a mind altering drug. An illicit drugs validity should not be measured by it's effects on the user.
