Why is POT illegal?

[jongameson]

I used to use it when my parents were cool, and were OK with a chocolate chip cookie coming from SR shrink wrapped in plastic twice.

But now all of a sudden they're worried about the cops, cause some guys in the bad part of town got caught trying to sell 12 kg of cocaine.

Getting my own apartment won't help, cause it's still illegal

what should I do?  even if I lived in Colorado it would still be I-L-L-E-G-A-L
due to the DEA

Are the DEA still busting people in Colorado? Do your parents check your mail? How would they know? Get it sent to a friends or something.

i can't go to friends, cause if they find a small amount in my car (like a tiny NUG), I could still be arrested and charged

Dubai is a little bit different from America.

Well.... its not over here in the Netherlands..  

Peace!

I thought technically it still is illegal, but they just don't enforce it? Netherlands does seem to have one of the better ways of dealing with drugs and prostitution though. I like Amsterdam, it's a cool city.

because of racism, immigrant mexicans use to use too much pot, in order to chase them out racist americans banned marijuana, and that's why marijuana is illegal today

Yeah exactly. Weed and shrooms were associated with ethnic minorities, that's why they banned them in the US. It used to be legal in Europe until ~ 20 years ago, but they banned it along with poppy under the western influence. Recently Czech Republic depenalized it, in many countries the old laws still exist, but if they cath you with it they just confiscate it and let you go with a warning.

Yes, it's still illegal officially, however it is tolerated. Meaning that you can buy and sell weed (in shops only) without having to worry about the police and stuff. There is one stupid thing, delivery to the shops is still illegal, because you aren't allowed to carry more then 30 grams.

Was not just Mexicans but African Americans too.

i thought it was against the law in Mexico too   

It probably wasn't back in the day.

[jongameson]

it's so awesome that everyone's head is in order that people don't even need shrooms anymore.   and went so far as to make them ILLEGAL

it boggles the mind

Where's that? I think you get it confiscated and a warning in the UK, but you probably wont be arrested. I hope we can achieve some decriminalisation in the near future.

Because the government thinks you're a moron. They have this idea of a model citizen and try to shape you to be one, and a model citizen can't blow off steam on his own, he has to use their alcohol (that's why you can't moonshine),and their drugs (kaffeine). You make your own, you go to jail, son!

so the solution is to make our own alchocol?

my family owns around 6-7 plums, we make brandy from it

it's kind of a region thing here, almost every 3rd guy from Slavonia in Croatia makes his own brandy especially in rural areas

6-7 plums? lol I guess you mean or plum trees. Does plum brandy taste much different to regular brandy?
