Josh Howard smokes himself retarded this off-season

[jemagee]

I'm going with the 'marijuana is illegal because the cigarette companies want it so' argument...

[Derek Bodner]

I know people who have drank for 20 years and they are not mentally retarded.  Along the same lines with marijuana...

Which, of course, is not proof that there is no effect.

(note that I support legalization of marijuana, but not the reason supplied).

That's what happens when jackarse pot head exchange ideas.  Even when they agree on every point, it still becomes and argument. 

There is tons of info about the vilianization of pot, very interesting read if you have the time.  Hemp has tons of uses besides smoking it, that's why it was vilianized way back when.

UNRAVELING AN AMERICAN DILEMMA:

THE DEMONIZATION OF MARIHUANA

 

By

John Craig Lupien

April, 1995

 

 

Chair: John McClung, Ph. D.

   The primary goal of this thesis is to reveal a new perspective with regard to the dilemma of the prohibition of marihuana.  In particular, the subject matter delves into the specific history of the hemp industry of the 1930s.  According to this author?s research, the circumstances surrounding the evolution of the marihuana issue in the United States were directly effected by certain developments in the hemp and wood pulp industries of the 1930s.  Aspects of this thesis are not entirely original and the author is indebted to the efforts of previous researchers. However, the main arguments of this thesis have been based upon original material.
