Today is my 1st day of posting but I've been smoking for years & reading news from this site daily for a few months. Thanks to you guys I've learned alot about why weed & hemp are illegal & how evil our own gov is. I'd like to know what groups give $$$ to the "war on drugs" & avoid them... I guess all the booze industries would be on the list. The last few times I've went out I've stuck to only sipping 1 or 2 drinks all night instead of my usual 7-8. I just take along my one hitter & smoke a little more instead. I'm not spending as much $$$ & I'm way happier... I doubt I ever ween myself off booze but I do vow to cut back & smoke more.... happy new year

- don't hit me Panama, please....

{Off Topic Content Removed} You need to stop drinking for yourself....and you need to stop funding the liquor companies that, yep, support "anti-drug" campains.

Getting away from that, because it's naughty, couple weeks ago, me and some friends were speculating about what causes pro-marijuana type people would support/not support. Of course hemp and legalization too....I mentioned something about many possibly being pro-choice over pro-life....(mainly because it seems the majority of pro-lifers seem to be republican and highly religious and thus are more likley to be anti-drugs) We disscused this and basicaly, decided that everyone who smokes grass aren't going to have universal beliefs. Lots of people smoke grass, and there are bound to be people with varing ideals.

BTW, I did NOT intend this to become a flame war over abortion, I think you can plainly see that.

well the main reason mj is still illegal is because of those super evil tobacco companies, so steer clear of cigarettes if u really dont want to fund the "war on drugs".

have u guys seen these ads by Phillip Morris where they help out flood victims, and go to orphanages for christmas n give out presents and stuff?? yea, wut about the hundreds of MILLIONS of people they coldly murdered over the years i'm never giving money to big tobacco again. i've quit for a year now and weed gives me (and a lot of other people) good enough company

jinseki: the tobacco companies are only part of it. other huge contributors to the war on drugs include paper giants hearst and kimberly clark, as well as dupont. it's not nearly as simple as boycotting big tobacco.

if you buy toilet paper, you're funding the war on drugs.

Haven't been on here for a while! Anyways, it's good to be back.

One company that I know of that donates somewhere around 1 to 5 % of its profits to anti-marijuana (not just anti-drug) initiatives is Snapple. So unless you want someone chopping down and confiscating the weed you would get to smoke i suggest you stick to Sobe or Arizona or any other non-Snapple related beverage.

There was talk of an Boycott a while back, but none seemed interested...

That's the kind of info I'm looking for... Sounds like Dupont has been a bunch of real "evil do'ers" since the beginning. I've avoided snapple for a long time...I heard they give to religious groups who use the $$$ in ways I don't agree with...like funding those anti abortion people that stand outside with pictures of trash can fetuses for kids & everyone to see...ick.

bo-battie, go back and read my post again. i'm always careful with my words... i said "the MAIN reason".

anyway the way to help our cause isnt to boycott certain companies, it is through sites like this to spread the word of the pro-mj through facts, and the history of mj prohibition. show the people the propaganda perpetuated by the gov't
