Jello Biafra is awesome. "Grow More Pot" is my favorite spoken word piece by him.

Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection
Here's something interesting. I have known about this for some time, but it might be interesting for others who didn't know about this study.

If Jello ran for president I might just vote for him. I agree with a lot of his stances, although sometimes he is too far left for me. I'm not sure what his stance is on the right to bear arms, but as long as he allows me to carry a weapon to defend myself and my family then he would get my vote. "There's always room for more Jello!" It's a shame George Carlin has passed, he would have made an interesting president, though I think he had too much pride and animosity toward the government to be political.

I sure as hell hope not, California gun laws SUCK!

Yes they do, but lots of states already try to copy Californias draconian gun laws.

And now what do we have coming at us? Google "California microstamping". Total bullsh*t. I'm glad I have been able to amass a nice collection before this crap goes into effect.

The only thing we do have is a pretty descent castle doctrine - come in without permission, leave in a box. No duty to retreat.

California has basically become its own small country, and does whatever the hell it wants. Other states for some reason see this state as the positive example of how things should be done/run. If it wasn't for the land, climate, and ocean, Id be gone. Geographically, IMHO, California is the best place in the nation to live. But government-wise, this place sucks ass . . .

Oh its absolutely many times more potent than 20 years ago. Many times. And as far as Halide lights, they just absolutely CANNOT compare to California's big yellow Halide in the sky . . .





(Actually, it's gone up about 47 percent, comparing 1993 and 2003)


Here's a graph showing increase from 1972 to 2004 alone:

Right. Like I believe the Drug Czar's hyperbole. Us in the field, so to speak, know that there
has always been high potency green bud. The Drug Czar is comparing green bud with Mexican
weed. I'm not saying there has not been any increase. However I haven't seen a doubling of potency.
I guess it's who you know. I have a med card now myself.

Medicine lol. A guy I know *really* well might smoke every day, but he does not consider it medicine any more than he considers beer to be medicine

Beer isn't medicine?

Bread is good for you. Water is good for you. Beer is Water and Bread. Conclusion- Beer (liquid bread) is good for you.

I don't agree. Why test the poor and the unemployed while the rich get drunk
and snort their coke on Wall Street?
--

Because I'm already broke, and the rich aren't taking any money out of my check to fund their coke binges. Unless their bankers. I feel like those wankers should have to take three drug tests a day. Drugs are a luxury, you do not need them. As much as it might suck and be uncomfortable for you to quit shooting up heroin twice or more a day, you should probably stop if you're on welfare, since chances are you'll be able to get and hold a job much better without the skag. Same reason I don't think people on welfare should have kids. You obviously can't afford them, since you need the government to help you just to take care of yourself, so in my opinion you've got no right to be popping out another little abomination every couple of years. I support the idea behind welfare (helping people out in tough times), but too many people are able to take advantage of it and leech for too long.

Because the person who goes to work and earns money may spend it on what he pleases, as is his right. Whereas someone who we are giving free money to to help them till they become employed do not have the freedom to spend it on drugs because that is not what that money was intended for. The rich guy is not making the poor guy pay for it in other words, whereas with welfare, it is making the middle class pay for your drug habbit. I don't understand the logic of people like you, have you never had a bank account before or handled finance? Would you cut 200$ a month to s friend in tough times just for him to go spend it on crack for the next 3 generations and keep popping out kids to that he can ask you for more money? Where is your logic here?

Just like when you go to work for a corporation, in order to get paid you have to submit to the possibility of random drugs tests. Why not for when the government gives them free money? If the real intention was to get these people to work than they would not be condoning using it on crack.


Also, perhaps they don't have ghettos in oregon, but the destruction the welfare system has done is insane, because these people have been conditioned to accept a meager life of barely getting by on gov money, having kids just for the extra cash, and smoking a little rock on the first of the month. I would like to see that end and rehabilitate these people.

Our government housing projects are riddled with crime, drugs, and guns, and it's usually a single mother with a horde of kids, on all kinds of government aid, and letting her thug boyfriends live there, while the place has become similar to an Al-Qaeda enclave, the Government does not even inspect these places, and they are filled with trash. If you are living on tax payers handouts, those places need to be spotless, clean, and zero tolerance for abuse of the system and criminal activity. They are/were, meant to be a way to help people get on their feet, not be a slum for generations to get free checks.

That is EXACTLY what has happened in so many places. The house I am moving to in a few weeks in Hunters Point is smack dab in the middle of one such place, and it's trash. Gunshots nearly every night, police are constantly patrolling but the jails/crazy houses are so full they end up back on the street after a week. When I was younger my dad handled several properties in Maywood, 17th street and other places in and around Long Beach and I would always go to work with him. These people would desecrate the place, like I don't even know how people live like that. It's just how you put it, 1 mom, 4 kids that are not being watched or taken care of, some thug currently banging the mom and they are always home when you knock because they don't work.

[tom502]

On of our ghettos, is so trashy, with people all hanging out on their porches and walking around with 40's, and I'm talking 8am, and the place has 3 liquor stores right across the street. Seriously.

I wonder about ecstasy. I love me some MDMA. Physical addictions, not so much. But some depressed people would surely be addicted. The stuff makes you happier than ever.

Anyway, my doctor always told me to eat my vitamins

[tom502]

I never had it, but in my younger more experimental days, I would have tried it.
