Just think if we get enough of these growing we could fix the ozone layer!
no shit! that's really true! hemp not only has stronger fibers than wood, but it's TWENTY times more sustainable AND it even nitrifies the soil to boot! it's god's greatest gift, and i believe that i COULD save the planet with all of the beneficial, non-toxic things it can do like replace synthetic latex in paints. besides that, GETTING HIGH raises people's spirituality level as it did in the summer of love when communes with a "can't we all just get along and help each other out" rose up along with a "WTF is wrong with the status quo?!" QUESTIONING OF AUTHORITY that makes weed such a threat to the fabric of our corrupt society.
why do you think the feds refuse to allow DEMOCRACY to happen in regards to weed being de facto legalized now in 2 states as well as legal for med use in many more? it's a threat to many elitist industries as well as the dumbed down mindset i think is INTENTIONAL, studies have shown that texting and short attention span TV programming like sponge bob makes it hard for people to concentrate or perform any critical thinking. then there's video games, which like literal toys that don't require you to use your imagination do the same thing. the topic was just on scientific american fronteirs recently where alan alda stomped a 16 year old admitted multi-tasker in a simple test to determine if red & blue bricks change position on a monitor. he started at 100%, and stayed there for half of the test before starting to dip where the ADD poster boy's results immediately started diving.
getting high enhances creativity big time. it encourages random synapse firing that allows people to make new connections. it virtually fueled the jazz era. several famous jazz musicians blazed weed, and there's even a song or two about it. such creativity is a tool to awaken the thinking of at least some citizens who aren't exactly critical thinking types, and in these dark days of corporate raping of america, a little paranoia is a good thing if you ask me. complacency is the problem.
i find it no coincidence that at least SOME of the occupy protesters are also weed smokers. getting high just puts people in that rastafarian good vibes state of mind where you're more likely to question wars for oil, and oil should be our number 1 enemy as it's destroying the planet. that's part of the reason i think foxnews, who have a bogus court decision that grants them the legal RIGHT to lie like motherfuckers, made such a point of trying to discredit occupy as a bunch of stoner wackos, but you sure don't see them criticizing REAL fucking nutcases in their pet teabagger movement. man those are some foaming at the mouth crazy fuckers! if they got high, they might mellow the fuck out, but a harmonious society isn't in their plans.
the whole "democrats vs republicans" crap is just another shell game to keep us distracted and fighting with each other instead of them when democrats sell us out to corporate interests too even if they talk big game about closing gitmo down, giving us socialized medicine like the rest of the world, or even staying the fuck out of the anti-weed issue like obama fucking LIED through his teeth about, but has escalated the war on drugs in office. somewhere, the elite are shitting bricks about citizens deciding to decriminalize marijuana because they've experienced it themselves and see through the lies and propaganda used to keep legalization off the table.
weed isn't just good for the ozone by converting C02 into oxygen, it's mental effects lower a persons need to be a constant consumer. you get high, you don't need to drive all over unsatisfied with life buying crap you don't really need, you just put some tunes or a movie on, and you're good.
yes, weed IS a godsend and those in power know it is. something truly good STARTED happening in the 60s and weed was behind it. you need an uppity angry scared society to get it to go along with wars for oil or whatever. fighting seems stupid when you're high and happy.
