No reason to stop now.

The government doesn't care what we want.

The courts don't care what we want.

The police don't care what we want.

The DEA doesn't care what we want.

The private prisons don't care what we want.

The state prisons don't care what we want.

The county jails don't care what we want.

Our government lies to us on a daily basis.

Not one death has ever been attributed to cannabis.

Why is it illegal ???

This country loves to jail it's citizens.

This country involved the whole world in this deadly, fraudulent, destructive battle.

This country is dripping in blood because of the war against cannabis.

Fuck Henry J. Anslinger !!!

Fuck William Randolph Hearst !!!

Not one president has been brave enough to change this deadly policy.

Our government continues the lie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Money is being made hand over fist as the blood flows and the destruction continues.

The citizens of this country should file a class action lawsuit against this criminal government.

They are responsible for deaths the world over.

They are responsible for orphans the world over.

They are responsible for the destruction of families the world over.

Not one DEATH attributed to cannabis, yet the EVIL continues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and filled to capacity with PoC.

Fuck the public, the Mercer's and the Koch's are the only voices that matter and they can smoke bales of MJ if they choose to.

Multi billionaires don't have to take random drug screenings and the cops don't hang out in their hoods lookin for easy busts either,

There is hardly a safer, mild and natural substance than MJ and yet if you get caught with a joint in Louisiana you can be locked up for 6 months! 2nd time...5 years! 3th time? 20 damn years! For a single joint!

And every gas station and grocery store is full to the brim with all manner of cancer causing, brain destroying, addiction causing alcohol.

Not to mention cigarettes which kill 480,000 people PER YEAR in this country alone!

Land of the Free

What a load of crap.

If I want to smoke cigarettes, that should be my choice.

If I want to drink, that should be my choice.

If I want to smoke cannabis, that should be my choice.

If I do these things in the privacy of my home, and it does not interfere or harm

anyone else, that should be my choice.

Free my ass !!!!

Everything that is against the law in this country the rich and connected will always

have access to.

The rest of us are their fucking slaves.

Trump and his fascist government are going to shatter many illusions about the freedom of Americans real soon.

I know one thing, we will all be free to die with no access to health care, republican death panels already being set up by law as we speak.

Oh and we will all be free to work till you are physically unable to do so anymore and medicaid/medicare money will be filling up the swimming pools of the Mercer's and the Koch's. So freedom from life and dignity at the end as well.

We will have NOTHING and so we will be 'FREE' thanks to MF republican traitors!

They won't stop until the U.S. is a Christian Theocracy controlled by corporations.

Behind closed doors they will have access to anything they want and their bibles

will be covered in dust 3 inches thick.

But I feel like I should. All the strains in the stores are just so confusing, though. I'm used to smoking seeds and twigs through a PBR can with holes punched in it.

One hit and you would be good to go.

You can still use your PBR can to.

I got pneumonia after smoking a pipe once. It was horrible, and it lasted a month. That's what sort of put me off. I know it sounds strange, but I became sick exactly one day after smoking. It's the only thing it could have been. Maybe I'm just being a wuss.

Were you smoking alone or sharing the pipe ???

I have been smoking for 41 years.

I have shared pipes, joints, bongs, power hitters, and shotguns.

I have never caught so much as a cold from smoking.

Pneumonia is not contagious, but viruses and bacteria are.

Those viruses and bacteria can lead to pneumonia.

I shared pipes, bongs, joints, beer cans for years, too, and nothing ever happened. I still have fond memories of scraping resin from the pipe in undergrad when we were too damned poor to afford actual pot. I have no idea how many people smoked off that pipe, and no one ever got sick. It is, indeed, very odd.

If you decide to try it again, don't share your PBR can with anyone.

I highly (no pun intended) recommend it.

It is one my few pleasures in life.
