Willie Nelson was busted with six ounces of bud at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca today on his way home from Cali. What is the state of the nation coming to when we're arresting 77 year old men and trying to tell them they don't have the right to smoke pot?

Willie says he's doing fine. He lost six ounces.

He smoked pot on the roof of the Whitehouse. He wrote Red Headed Stranger. He has been arrested at 77. I heart Willie.

I also like that that last sentence will raise a smile with the Brits.

This is what happens when "belief" affects reality.

What point are you making there? That the Christian right doesn't like pot? Only I'm pretty sure Willie's a Christian as well.

Wille Nelson on Toby Keith, "[He's] not a Republican or a Democrat; he's a Christian. So we're coming from the same place."

This is why I REFUSE to be part of either side. It's all the same just a different name.

I just don't understand why the people who "believe" that God created marijuana would allow their government to ban it. Where is the outrage from the large majority of Americans who "believe". Why aren't more people like Willie???

that thought process is a minority thus I find myself here

Outrage on pot? Fuck me you've got a skewed vision. There's no need to put phrase marks around 'believe'. Belief in the benign affects of weed doesn't make it a political issue worth shouting about. It's only really stoners who care, and to be honest, fuck stoners.

[hevusa]

The majority of Americans believe in God and that God created marijuana. It makes no sense why they would allow what they view as "God's creation" to be banned. Where is the outrage? Hypocrisy through and through is what happens when you "believe".

Have you read the Bible at all? Now I'm not saying that it's the font of all information and legitimation, but the bit that covers God creating sin comes very early on and covers whatever spurious point you're making.

[Glice]

And, again, there's no need to put phrase marks around believe, unless you're suggesting they don't, which you're not. Or if you are, you're a fuckwit. Which you are, so I suppose I'm talking myself into a corner there.

What did we ever do to you man? Sure a stoner buddy of yours ate everything in your refrigerator on multiple occasions.
But, honestly it's getting more and more attention and is starting to be a pretty hot topic and many major news stations. Let's not forget, that the people who rule shit now will eventually die and an entire new generation of people will hopefully handle things differently.
One by one more states are approving of medicinal use/decriminalization. i think eventually it will cut down the cost of "war on drugs" considering that probably half of the people in jail are in for weed related crimes.

[Glice]

The thing for me is that stoners treat the subject of legalisation as it's a serious problem. Ok, I don't think people should be made criminals for a relatively benign indulgence, but in practice you have to be very stupid to get caught with weed.

The only time weed becomes a serious issue for me is how the criminal world operates in order to maintain supply. But I don't really think that's the issue for most stoners, who rarely engage with politics beyond their insidious affection for a boring drug.
