Who can follow a post like "zerodown" just made. The message I got was it's all about freedom of expression. The members here are unique in that they are going against mainstream thought every day with their very lifestyle . . . a lifestyle that makes most of us criminals and felons . You might be lucky enough to be in a state where possession is no more than a traffic ticket, but all of us here will probably do hardtime for growing a few plants. With exceptions, we are living in a society that puts children in prison with hardcore violent convicts for the crime of . . smoking flowers. A society with the largest prison population, actual and per capita, in the world. Even with all that societal pressure, we know that smoking is a "non-crime". We know that hemp could eliminate fossil fuels, wood pulp, and petroleum-based plastics. Instead of Prozac and Zoloff, people would get a better benefit from weed, without the sometimes deadly side effects. Yes, I'm a conspiracy nut when it comes to why government is, and has been, demonising this plant for 75 years. How certain " Captains of Industry" in the oil, paper and pharmaceutical business have taken over media to tell us how evil this plant is. My conspiracy questions have taken me to other issues,too. Issues,to me, as important as the suppression of Hemp.
Thanks again, zero for reminding me that it should always be about issues over image, and to not be concerned about putting your ass on the line for believing in something or giving in to peer pressure. After all, if we did that, everyone here would only be smoking Marlboros.
