Anybody know if Voodooman wears an ascot? Nixon says that is a clear indicator if someone's a queer. The good looking guy on Scooby Doo wore an ascot, 'cartoon fag'.

Nixon also says the Russians knew how to take care of the homos. Is this true Serge? What did they do with homosexuals during your days in the Soviet Union?

I haven't read Doonesbury in like 10 years, is he doing stuff on this Nixon tape stuff?

Sorry Timon, i am exhausted after facing some horrible multiple choice questions this morning from my girlfriend.

all of which i apparently got wrong, judging from her reaction.

1) do you like this shirt?
2) does this shirt look good on me
3) does it make me look fat?

incorrect answers:

1) uhmmm, huh? i dunno... no.
2) not really
3) no, your ass does.

JR, i agree with your main point whole heartedly ... be aware of the law, break it and except the penalty.

It would be nice however if your suggestion were at all possible. When the subject of drugs comes up at a dinner party of mixed people, a few will have a true knowledge of what the discussion, the rest will be regurgitating the bullshit they've heard in the media ... the points like 'X people died last year due to car accidents of people under the influence of marijuana' ... 'marijuana leads to other drug use' ... 'smoking marijuana makes you a drug addict'.

the tv, papers and world around us is full of so called experts desperate to justify their opinions on why they dislike drugs.

what percentage of the population (the ones who have the ability to vote) truly understands the difference between 'drug use' and 'drug abuse'??

the article timon posted earlier outlined a future legislation which may make marijuana a 'C' level drug as opposed to keeping it on the same 'bad' level as heroin and cocain. there are people out there with information ... but its never allowed to reach the masses enough for a fair vote to be passed.

so *shrug* ... i have no interest in becoming an activist. i like my freedom, and i understand the consequences of my actions ... doesn't mean i like them, i'm just more careful!!

Who else should get the last word on any subject than America's most famous looney tune, Richard Nixon.
Tricky Dick had an opinion on everything, Jew bastards, Negroes, Commies, Homos, and apropros he had alot to say about exactly what you guys have been discussing all night, drugs. Of course once again he blames the Jews, the Jew psychiatrists, for America's drug problems. Oy!

Read this and shake your head that this idiot was the President of the United States for 8 years.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58812-2002Mar20.html

Here are some highlights

"Do you know what happened to the Romans? The last six
Roman emperors were fags. . . . You know what happened
to the popes? It's all right that popes were laying the nuns."
--Former President Richard M. Nixon





Nixon on drugs

>"You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for
>legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter
>with the Jews, Bob? What is the matter with them? I suppose it is
>because most of them are psychiatrists."

Nixon Defends Alcohol Over Marijuana

>It is because people drink "to have fun" but they smoke marijuana
>"to get high."

Nixon On Gays

>Northern California, he says, has gotten so "faggy" that "I won't shake
>hands with anybody from San Francisco."

Nixon loves this subject. He is nearly unstoppable on it. His top
aides H.R. "Bob" Haldeman and John Ehrlichman are in the room, but
they barely speak beyond monosyllabic sycophancies. It takes the
president a while to get to the point, which begins with his review of
a popular TV sitcom he has just watched, apparently for the first
time:

>"Archie is sitting here with his hippie son-in-law, married to the screwball
>daughter. . . . The son-in-law apparently goes both ways."

Nixon seems to have concluded, against all evidence, that Meathead is
bisexual. Possibly it is the length of his hair. Another character in
>the show, Nixon reports, is "obviously queer. He wears an ascot,
>and so forth."


>"The point that I make is that, goddamn it, I do not think that you glorify
>on public television homosexuality. You don't glorify it, John, anymore
>than you glorify, uh, whores."

The president asserts that America is in jeopardy from this Archie
Bunker gay thing:

>"I don't want to see this country to go that way. You know what happened
>to the Greeks. Homosexuality destroyed them. Sure, Aristotle was a homo,
>we all know that, so was Socrates."

>"Do you know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors
>were fags. . . . You know what happened to the popes? It's all right that
>popes were laying the nuns."

Someone laughs nervously. Nixon bulls on, not a hint of humor in his
voice.

>"That's been going on for years, centuries, but when the popes,
>when the Catholic Church went to hell in, I don't know, three or four
>centuries ago, it was homosexual. . . . Now, that's what happened to
>Britain, it happened earlier to France. And let's look at the strong
>societies. The Russians. Goddamn it, they root them out, they don't
>let 'em hang around at all. You know what I mean? I don't know
>what they do with them."

>"Dope? Do you think the Russians allow dope? Hell no. Not if they
>can catch it, they send them up. You see, homosexuality, dope, uh,
>immorality in general: These are the enemies of strong societies.
>That's why the Communists and the left-wingers are pushing it.
>They're trying to destroy us."

No my argument is that wether the law is in place or not
people are going to do it anyway and since I have never
heard a valid argument of why Marjuana should be illegal
I don't see why the law should stay as it is now...

Timon,

your argument is based on the fact that people break a law that you think should not be there.

my arguement is that people should change the law FIRST... not be given the choice of whether or not they want to abide by particular laws or not.

i do not think people should be able to pick and choose which laws are fair and which laws they agree with and which laws they accept and dont accept... which laws they will follow and which they will not.

For the record ... (this is a few years old).

"Washington, DC: More than one in three Americans say that the
use of marijuana should be legal, according to the results of
last week's annual USA Today/Gallup poll. The 34 percent support,
up from just 25 percent in 1995, is the highest level ever
recorded by Gallup"

"Approximately half of all Britons support legalizing
marijuana - up from 26 percent in 1996."

"In Canada, 47 percent
of adults now back marijuana legalization, double the percentage
recorded in 1990."

-----------------
Also for the record, I personally live in a Republic, not a democracy by the strictest definition. Therefore, popular majority doesn't really mean much.

what "should or shouldn't be" is a moot point.

we are pretty well aware of negative effects and not really aware of positive benifits.

"should pot be illegal"
--------------------------
sorry, changing my bong water while the pizza guy came.

i would look at it strictly in financial terms

heath care burden
societal costs (adiction etc)
criminal side, costs saved etc.

I would also consider the impact on legalization in terms of usage and increased usuage and what the negative effects of that would be to a society as a whole.

i think it is a complicated question that requires more than 2 minutes of contemplation.

i would ask myself "why does this need to be legal", "what will improve by making this legal", "what do people as a whole want" etc etc.

i like Amsterdam. i do not see any immediate downside to legalizing pot on the surface. in fact, i considered moving there and i hate hippies ;-)

"people who smoke pot try to say its really ok for you. i think there is a substantial body of verifiable and credible medical evidence to dispute that."
*********************************

Of course not smoking pot is better for your health than
smoking it but that is not neccessarily a good reason to
make it illegal.

People can choose if they want to eat a Tofu on rye burger
or a greasy bacon & cheese burger, and so IMHO they should
be able to choose if they want to do something that some
reports claim may have negative effects on your memory
if done frequently over long periods of time...

I think part of the reason that there has been and is more acceptance for alcohol than marijuana (drugs of somewhat similar level dangers) is the method of consumption.

We eat and drink to sustain life. Drinking alcohol IS "sustaining life"; in a sense. For thousands of years, alcohol was safer to drink than water or any other liquid. In western Christian- dominated societies, it can always be argued that Christ drank wine and therefore drinking alcohol must be ok.

Comparing the two though: alcohol and marijuana probably have about the same number and degree of long-term bad side effects. Alcohol seems to be somewhat more dangerous while under the effect. Alcohol causes craziness and bar-room fights. Marijuana causes relaxation, laziness, and the munchies.

JR, just curious, do you think possession and consumption
of Marijuana should be illegal and punishable with incarceration?
---------------------------------
i think that all of these debates are more philosophical than anything. Colin just did a great job of making that point.

i think it is safe to say that marijuana is illegal because of the stigmas attached to it. if the best arguement is the negative health effects, then you lock yourself into a massive quagmire of circular and extrapolar logic that never ends, until it can only be concluded that we should all live in little sterile, padded, sanitary bubble domes with no risk to infection or disease.

i do not really care about marijuana. people who smoke pot try to say its really ok for you. i think there is a substantial body of verifiable and credible medical evidence to dispute that.

as far as being incarcerated for smoking marijuana, i feel that people have a responsibility to know and abide by the laws in their society... not pick and choose when or if they will.

if someone knowingly breaks the law, then i feel they should face the penalty for that. if the society AS A WHOLE, felt the penalty was unfair... the have the choice to change it.

I don't think heroine, cocaine, etc should be legal though. I also don't think marijuana should be illegal. In my experience, alcohol is a more dangerous substance than marijuana.

Hmmm .. Marijuana.

Most of the same arguments could be made for alcohol and cigarettes. Long term dangerous effects. To remain consistent, I think one would have to say that marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes should all be illegal. How about fatty foods? People are shortening their life expectancy because they are eating too much McDonald's.

How about cars? 50,000 people a year die in the US from auto accidents?

Here are some quick stats I found (1992). No attempt on my part to validate the numbers/source.

Cause of Death Deaths
Tobacco use 435,000
Alcohol use 150,000
Automobile accidents 49,000 Suicides 32,000
Hard drug use 30,000
Homicides 22,000

10 Things Every Teen Should Know About Marijuana

Marijuana is illegal.

Using, holding, buying, or selling marijuana can get you suspended or expelled from school. This will hurt your chances of getting a job in the future.

Resist peer pressure. Marijuana may make you feel part of the crowd for a while -- but who needs friends who could self destruct at any moment?

Keep on the right track. Marijuana reduces your ability to do things that require coordination and concentration, like sports, dancing, acting, and studying.

Think twice about what you are advertising. Do you want to promote something that can cause cancer? make you forget things? or make it difficult to drive a car?

Think about what you're doing if you wear T-shirts, hats, pins, or jewelry with a pot leaf/joint/blunt on them.

Do the right thing. Using marijuana hurts your education, family ties, and social life.

It's a risky business. Marijuana interferes with your thinking and judgment. Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, violence and car crashes are all possibilities when you use marijuana.

Get with the program. Contrary to what you might hear in songs or see on TV or in the movies, smoking marijuana does not make you cool.

You can get hooked. Many users report that, over time, they require more of the drug to get the same effect.

Talk about your problems. Using marijuana won't help you escape your problems, it will only create more.

Don't believe people who say that marijuana is no big deal, or that it will make your life better.
You don't need it.

If you think "everybody's doing it" you're wrong -- over 86 percent of 12-17 year olds have never even tried marijuana.

Marijuana won't make you happy or popular or help you learn the skills you need as you grow up. You can do that with the help of friends, family, and other adults you trust.

.... if you ever want to just talk, i am here for you man! ;-)

The cigarettes comparisson was made because your little
article claims that smoking marijana is 3 to 5 times more
harmful than smoking cigarettes, which is not correct.

I'm no neurologist so I don't know about the exact effects
on the brain, all I know is that my dad is a 58 year old
physics teacher who has been a heavy pot smoker since
he was 18.

If the pot smoking had negative effects on his brain then
it has been so subtle that it is not worth banning pot for it.

Timon, that came from a government website. i already lost the link.

but you are correct IMHO and therein lies the problem . a good writer can lie with statistics. a good organization can lie with studies. a good scientist can lie with his experiement (meaning framing it in a way to prove results)... and on and on it goes.

but it still fucks your brain up! :-)

The stress on the lungs of 3 joints is nothing compared to that of 30 to 60 cigarettes...
-------------------------------
how is it we comparing the negative health effects of 3 joints to 30-60 cigarettes.

I could further illustrate your point by adding that smoking 3 joints is also nowhere near as dangerous as flying an airplane into a mountain.

one thing is not disputed is the negative effects of marijuana on your brain.

JR,

That conclusion fails to mention two things:

1. what happens when a frequent marijuana smoker stops for a long period of time, are the changes reversed?

2. The typical marijuana smoker does not smoke 30 to 60 joints a day, the average cigarette smoker does. The stress on the lungs of 3 joints is nothing compared to that of 30 to 60 cigarettes...

Effects of Marijuana on the Brain

Researchers have found that THC changes the way in which sensory information gets into and is processed by the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a component of the brain's limbic system that is crucial for learning, memory, and the integration of sensory experiences with emotions and motivations. Investigations have shown that neurons in the information processing system of the hippocampus and the activity of the nerve fibers in this region are suppressed by THC. In addition, researchers have discovered that learned behaviors, which depend on the hippocampus, also deteriorate via this mechanism.

Recent research findings also indicate that long-term use of marijuana produces changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse.

Effects on the Lungs

Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers. These individuals may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. Continuing to smoke marijuana can lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissue injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke.

Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers. This may be due to the marijuana users' inhaling more deeply and holding the smoke in the lungs and because marijuana smoke is unfiltered.
