Arguing about the legalization of marijuana will get us nowhere. Yes it is classified as a class I drug, but in actuality it does have multiple medical uses. The only reason it is illegal is because of personal agendas. It was grown as a cash crop back in washingtons day, became illegal in the jazz movement because black people smoked it, and the government did not want white society embracing something with the jazz movement. Look it up you can find many books on this. The people who argue that marijuana is as bad as cocaine are narrow minded and don't know what they are talking about, but people believe what they are told.

As far as the government changing for the people, ha, the government is run by corrupt people who are only concerned about their own agendas. We get to elect who we want into office, yet we are forced to choose between two people who are picked for us. Sure there are other people running but they are not shown on the debates or televised. Things wont change around here until the government starts to see a collapse. But if that happens i'm sure some so called "bad guy" will do something and we will go to war and be united under the government and completely forget about the way things were being run.

Lol sorry if this seems like a long unpunctuated rant, but it is becoming more and more obvious that we the people no longer matter in making decisions for ourselves.

Legalization will never be real until the definition of what a Schedule I drug is changes. States may pass laws "legalizing" it as they did with repealing alcohol prohibition, but the federal government will push back just as they did then also.

It's all just political drama. Staying firm to the debt limit now when they've increased it at least 30 or 40 times in the past 50 years will turn things around? OK!

Watch this for the big picture of things and then you can LOL at the pettiness of this "debt ceiling debate":

Then after you're done laughing I guess you can cry a bit.

How has a Slathar thread made it to page 5 without a single diabetic and/or fat reference directed toward one party or the other?


THAT'S THE REAL FUCKING MYSTERY HERE PEOPLE. THE DEBT IS A LIE.
