I support a government hands-off approach to the economy so I'm capitalist. There is nothing of communism in there. I'm machiavellian, not communist. So please stop abusing words.Originally posted by Whaleboy
So a capitalist commune then? Taking the essentials of communism and using them in a capitalist state.
You are actively funding drug dealers and some of that money probably ends up in the pockets of terrorists.Explain?For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Because it provides an excellent summary with direct links and quotes from the sources: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabi...th_notes.shtmlOriginally posted by Giancarlo
And all one source? That is so funny...
Also it wasn't debunked. It is solid established fact backed by the scientific community.
Why do you continue with that stupid erowid source?
It's not from one source, it's from 92 sources -- all reputable sources like medical journals."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The obvious solution is to legalize it so people can buy it from the drug store, and then tax it so the money can enter the hands of the government-sponsored terrorists.Originally posted by Giancarlo

You're taking communist (or should I say Soviet) social policy while keeping capitalist economics on top. Of course, the former would stifle and destroy the latter as we've seen countless times before. You are aware of course that the system you propose has been implimented most famously in Nazi Germany?I support a government hands-off approach to the economy so I'm capitalist. There is nothing of communism in there. I'm machiavellian, not communist. So please stop abusing words.
I'm not abusing words, I just understand them more than you
.
Interesting chain of reasoning, provide me with examples and I'll probably listen. Then I'd say that it wouldn't be a problem if weed was legalised in the first place!!You are actively funding drug dealers and some of that money probably ends up in the pockets of terrorists.
Bare in mind also that most weed (bud and skunk that is) in the UK comes from Holland. Only Hash comes from Morrocco for the most part."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

Nope. Because it has nothing to do with communism.. or the Soviet system for that matter. I believe in law enforcement against law violaters as yourself. You don't understand words. You aren't very sure what you are talking about.Originally posted by Whaleboy
You're taking communist (or should I say Soviet) social policy while keeping capitalist economics on top. Of course, the former would stifle and destroy the latter as we've seen countless times before. You are aware of course that the system you propose has been implimented most famously in Nazi Germany?
You will cause the collapse of society if weed is made legal.Interesting chain of reasoning, provide me with examples and I'll probably listen. Then I'd say that it wouldn't be a problem if weed was legalised in the first place!!
Bare in mind also that most weed (bud and skunk that is) in the UK comes from Holland. Only Hash comes from Morrocco for the most part.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment
