Decriminalisation of Drugs and Cannabis
« on: July 03, 2012, 05:59:52 pm »
Can you tell me why [ATS does not allow the sensible discussion of drug use]?
From what I have seen, it's because some people cannot have a serious discussion about it without starting to promote the use. I have seen some threads starting with intelligent discussion about some topic slightly related to drugs and ending in a wall of "legalize it" propaganda.

It looks like there are more drug users (per capita, obviously) in the USA and Canada than in Portugal, where we had a big drug problem (resulting in a big AIDS problem) that was controlled with the decriminalizing of drug use.

How dare you suggest that decriminalising drug use could be good.  How liberal of you.  I should consider a ban you lefty. :D

Well case studies show that the right mind altering drugs can free your mind... I hear he is feeling MUCH better now

In every country where use has been decriminalised health problems related to drug use have improved.  That doesn't mean recreational drug use is good for you but it  does mean that decriminalisation is good for society.

Greetings Dear Amy...





...and we could tell you a story about how a pipe dream...


... exhales a billowing cloud of pungent Panama Red in a perfectly-executed smoke ring, (cough, cough)

"...wouldn't it be neat to have a ticker like Dow Jones so peeps nationwide could see what the prices of alternative commodities were in New York, Los Angeles, Rio Linda..."

“... mayhaps not a ticker, per se, how about a magazine with pretty pictures to design quality editorial around - hell, Hef does it and gets away with slickly-packaged porn... we can hide the message in plain sight ... {Trans-High Market Quotations}”



(Interesting, this same magazine featured a cover-story with the Dalai Lama - whoda thunk?)


... turned into a magazine and a mini-publishing empire promoting the understanding of those benefits...

For sure, there is a certain amount of self-serving FUN involved with such an enterprise...

Such as taking an unscheduled midnight swim with our (very) old buddy Chic Eder when el troopos AFI (Los Federales) decided to pay an unscheduled visit (obviously not 'our' guys) in a 'Southern country' bay coincidently next to a boatload of Columbian Gold...

If only we could write that book now... but in those days, we had our own albatross (you'll love this, Linda, another Swan), and (OMG, another 'Z'), and Zach was too much of a hot potato with grandiose visions and no basic survival skills in the jungle in which he found himself immersed and drew heat on all... but we digress.


Just reformatted and dropped "I Have Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds" into the Spookz Japan/Fukushima mega-thread on Page 1299... breadcrumbs...

Posting the following would have at least result in a 404'd thread.

Marijuana Cuts Lung Cancer Tumor Growth In Half, Study Shows
ScienceDaily (Apr. 17, 2007) — The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies. SOURCE: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm

Marijuana Chemical May Fight Brain Cancer
Active Component In Marijuana Targets Aggressive Brain Cancer Cells, Study Says


April 1, 2009 -- The active chemical in marijuana promotes the death of brain cancer cells by essentially helping them feed upon themselves, researchers in Spain report.

Guillermo Velasco and colleagues at Complutense University in Spain have found that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, causes brain cancer cells to undergo a process called autophagy. Autophagy is the breakdown of a cell that occurs when the cell essentially self-digests.

The team discovered that cannabinoids such as THC had anticancer effects in mice with human brain cancer cells and people with brain tumors. When mice with the human brain cancer cells received the THC, the tumor growth shrank. SOURCE: http://www.webmd.com/cancer/brain-cancer/news/20090401/marijuana-chemical-may-fight-brain-cancer

This is the way I look at it. If marijuana relieves pain or even more significantly, CURES CANCER!, then what's the F'n problem? Not ONE person has ever died from using marijuana - EVER - but tens of thousands die every year from opiates, and even more from drunk driving.

Priorities people, priorities.

Silly question as to why ATSame won't allow ANY drug talk.
It would look bad for those COINTELPRO agents when presenting evidence.
But hookers are ok. :D
They dont want their personal stash of THC laced hemorrhoid cream to get confiscated!

If marijuana is decriminalized or (gasp) legalized, it will cut in to pharmaceutical profits.  OH HORRORS!  Of course I have it from patients, that synthetic THC is not as effective as the genuine article.  Judging by the difference in visible effectiveness between the two, I think the patients are right.

Money Spent on the War On Drugs this Year (in real time): http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.js

In my own opinion, legalisation and regulation of the marijuana industry would generate unheard of revenue.  The gang element would be eliminated and violence would markedly decrease.  A new industry would grow and unemployment would decrease. The prison population would drastically decrease.

Years ago, when drug testing (marijuana) was implemented as a pre-employment requirement, the use of Cocaine skyrocketed.  The reasoning being that Coke cleared the system faster, and unless a hair test was done, it was virtually undetectable in one's system.

As Shasta mentioned, the pharmacological industry will staunchly defend against legalisation.  Look for new campaigns "proving" harm done to the body.

Law enforcement and alphabet agencies will do all in their power to block legalisation because it will hit them in their pockets!  No more War on Drugs program means less War on Drugs warriors. That equates to less than "glamorous" positions and less money...and a bottleneck in obtaining a free personal supply.

It has been stated that cannabis helps with lots of illnesses.

Could I offer a theory as to what causes many illnesses, and why said drug allieviates many?

IMHO, We exist within ,and with the enabling ability of this ,of a memory type bubble.
This bubble is in duality with a torus heart centred form.
That duality enables LIFE.
It enables life by providing the force and the memory contained within relative to the encoded lifeform it is enabling.

That torus field is fed by ever larger self similer memory of the dominant memory field that You are within, in our case that is earths.

That duality enables and sustains the matter within it, and enables so called movement, it provides the dual signal pathways that SWITCH and displace the atoms within the bubble.

If for whatever reason/s that dual field is disrupted , then basically multiple memory loss can occur in whatever region where the balance of duality is disrupted.

Such as cannabis is derived from a living entity, and it contains a high enabling substance that increases the memory dimensions and content of.
Thus it enables self repair to occur as it frees up the duality flows to better balance and volumes.
DMT does this to even greater effect, and there is possibly a global inhiboter been induced in humans to suppress DMT.
It DMT enable the memory field diameter to increase above certain geometric TRIPPING points that allow ourselves to converse with ourselves in a different dimension.

The most common inhibitor been flouride.

We are electrical beings experiencing a physical body....IN ENSLAVEMENT.

Well said guys.  MY university had lots of cash to help fund my undergraduate studies from Big Pharm.  However, that does not make it OK.
