As with a lot of things, the mindset you have towards them is much more significant than the things themselves.


The majority of people who use cannabis are not disaffected. They're just people who like to get high on occasion.


That's one of the positive aspects of being a marijuana user! If I couldn't laugh at the incredibly screwed-up human condition, I'd probably want to kill myself.

Back on subject...

Obama said, "If prescribed by Doctor, he will stop the raids on MM users."

Does that mean it will be nationwide if prescribed?

The cops bought 2 quads that patrol the park on weeknights and all weekend. There was nowhere left to go. But we found a place. We started smoking out my friend's barn and one night, his mom walked in. She knows we all smoke, and she smokes too. But she lectured us anyway, and that's exactly what she said. And you know what, a the next week, when we ran out of weed and were totally sober, I started thinking and realized that she's right.

Now I'm trying to switch from total fucking stoner, getting as fucking high as I can everyday, to the occasional user. I got a job, work during the week, then Friday or Saturday night, toke up, have some fun.

I like Obama, but I'm not 100% sure he is going to keep his promises. I've been rooting for him the whole way. I Know he isn't going to deliver like he is saying, but now he's the best we got.

Oh well, maybe when political science catches on to how difficult it is to hide duplicity. If Obama continues the way he`s been conducting himself, he will not amount to much in the White House.


Obama Campaign Retracts Statement Supporting Decriminalization

February 8, 2008 - Washington, DC, USA

Washington, DC: Senator Barack Obama’s campaign backed away from statements made last week affirming the Senator’s support for decriminalizing marijuana, after being confronted with inconsistencies in his past and present campaigns on the issue by the Washington Times. A spokesman for Obama’s campaign blamed confusion over the meaning of decriminalization for the inconsistencies, and said that while Obama does not support decriminalization, "we are sending far too many first-time, nonviolent drug users to prison for very long periods of time, and that we should rethink those laws."

Obama is no differnt from Clinton...or McCain...or Romney...or Gullieani....or Bush....or anyone else who has to be elected into power. They all lie through their teeth to get the power they so desperately want. I can't think of a single candidtate that hasn''t flipped flopped on issues numerous times, just to echo the feelings of America at that specific point and time.
