Cannabis Law and Politics

Hey guys I'm from the UK and I've just found this link on the Mark Thomas website http://www.smokebush.co.uk It seems they got shut down and banned several times for selling anti bush T-shirts with the slogan 'Smoke Bush not Iraq' In the UK every student message board banned them and were politely asked not to come back to markets and boot sales because they were 'attracting the wrong sort of people' A few us citizens even had their t-shirts confiscated on return to the US! Do you have the same trouble in Oz? for the full thread click here: http://www.mtcp.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?...er=asc&start=30 MW

Jesus & Marijuana Cannabis and the Christ: Jesus used Marijuana "If you know the truth, the truth will make you free." (John 8:32) Jesus used Marijuana As doubtful as the following hypothesis might first seem to the reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start: either Jesus used marijuana or he was not the Christ. The very word "Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing properties. The Greek title "Christ" is …

Im not paranoid. Im just cynical. I dont trust GM foods and I belive the whole GM food thing is a system set up by american corporate interests to screw the rest of the world... so what of GM dope?. GM canola is said to be more resiliant claim the GM people. the poor farmers found out that they cant use a percentage of there crop to grow the next generation because the seeds from GM canola are sterile. they find they have to purchace more of the GM seed to grow next season. and thats not considering the health aspects of GM foods. if the same companys that screw the average canola farmers are doing it to dope then what can we expect... if anyone knows anything abo…

For those that know me, you'll already be aware of my views that we need across the board law reform for all drugs. Not just grass. All drugs are a personal choice, and prohibition of ANY substance only and always creates criminal activity, police/government corruption, danger to users, especially youth, and more addicts strangely enough. Each and every one of the spin offs listed there are a huge topic in and of themselves, but I think would go pretty much un-challenged by all who study this subject. There's an article I want to post here in a minute, that shows the incredibly heavy hand that America has in our affairs. Regardless of if you agree with heroin trials…
