what's this i hear about a cartel
you're not very informed on how plants work
@Ammianus Marcellinus i used to smoke weed and now honestly i regret it
you separate the females for the same reason, be it smoking or fiber production, if the plant is fertilized, it spends energy on producing seed, instead of growing tall and fat
i'd rather not have anything grow even remotely close to our town that can be considered a drug
Oh, this infograph again...
>Its Da GOVBERMENTS LOOL
IT'S PURELY RECREATIONAL DUUUUDE
cocaine, prostitution, meth, and heroin are purely recreational but people don't advocate for them now do they
>b-but muh e-epilepsia a-and c-cancer treatment
Literally just a painkiller
back when i used to smoke it
my only upside was that it helped my stutter a little bit
that's about it
yeah, I bet opioids help with stutters too
i would think that the only drug i'd really be okay with is growing tobacco and rolling our own cigars or something
I dont buy any deep government/corporate conspiracies to the effect of 'these companies all sat together in a smoky room and made a decision,' but if you look at hearst's impact on hemp regulation, there was financial motive that drove his involvement
it got lobbied into illegallity in the pre-ww2 era by paper magnates
tbh, when you see these 'legalize-Hemp' movements they're really just a coverup for drug production.
so, sure, the white guy with the dreads and rasta hat probably isnt planning to open up a hemp paper factory
the black kid selling weed for 15 dollars a pop is gonna become an entrepreneur for hemp
he ain't do nothin' wrong
alcohol is derrived from a chemical process known as distillation
so is opium ok? if i just bleed the poppy, let the milk dry and smoke it?
Alcohol has been embedded into our culture for millenia
It also isn't as harmul in small portions
It doesn't kill neurons
so you're abandoning that line and chosing a plea to tradition
only slows the growth of new ones in teenagers
Well, yes I see the problems with that
So, the thing about drawing lines and making rules, is that it is in human nature to challenge these things
thats why an average bill that goes before the senate is literally too big to read
reverse-reverse-reverse lawyering with words to stamp out ways around things, amongst other stuff
make your lines on your soul, and enforce them in your home, and hold your brothers to your standards as you would want them to do the same to you
'this should be illegal, this should be regulated,' every inch you give the government to make life easier for you takes a thousand miles of walking to get back
just, you know, be careful
If consumed in excess it damages the dendrites of neurons
its easy to give up enough rope for a bad actor to tie your own noose with
that's pretty much it... and yes alcohol can definitely be harmful to vital organs, just not brain cells
alcohol is bad for you. tobacco is demonstably bad for you. pot is bad for you. plastic bottles are bad for you
