cannibis may b a lowly class c drug but lf i dip some dope intn some iso and make Oil im in much more trouble.
no the penalities are different........
but there are so many different drug laws the one that makes me curious is with cocaine....
If your caught with a gram of cocaine powder its one charge and sentence
but if you get busted with a gram of crack cocaine everything is much more serious and jail time is many more years..........
In michigan now they have the no tolerance laws with drugs if you get busted with a joint in your car your a s s is in big trouble and you will need a good lawyer......
things are changing..........
Where are you from and how are the laws there ?
I didnt notice you said an ounce,,in alot of states you just get a ticket for less then an oz of pot,,,,,heroin,again prison
if there is such a thing as gateway drug then I"m sure booze takes the prize,,,,hellc,,good question. You probably cant find the pot guy,,hes free but you can write the one caught with heroin in prison
my last response to this whole weed thing is....boy oh boy do i WISH i was addicted to weed instead of opiates...i would gladly pay to trade addictions with someone who thinks their weed addiction has ruined their lives in every way possible, the same way opioids have done....i would give one of my limbs to trade addictions....
hey Beach.i dont live in the US and was wondering how the schedule 1 status of pot plays out in the courts.Is a person caught with an Ounce of pot facing the same potential jail time as sum1 caught with an ounce of Heroin.just curious.
regards J
Not everyone takes the same path to addiction core issues have a lot to do with it.......
but you have to admit that many addicts started out smoking pot.........
I never smoked and my siblings all do.I am the only one with this habbit.Thanks God they never got into a car accident that lead to their demise.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ooops, sorry. I fell asleep during chapter two of the "cannabis schedule handbook".
Alcohol was my gateway drug. Maybe that should be schedule 1 as well. Oh wait, the government makes a killing off alcohol. I guess thats why its not a schedule 1 drug.
i will not argue the fact that weed CAN be a gateway drug for some, but not for everyone, i know alot of people who have always smoked pot and never touched anything else.... and to be honest with you the first drug for me was alcohol, then it was either speed or hash, i cant really remember that far back...i do remember some kids in school was selling what they said was speed...they were "pink hearts"? but i know i was drunk before i was stoned...
good for you! It's amusing to me as well.
this has got to be the second or third post today i read that u two are going at it.....LIGHTEN UP! although, i will say, it has made me a laugh, which i need!
hey retard if you read my post you'd see that i said THE MOVIE is a joke! Christ you are blinded by your own non-sense aren't you?
For many years I felt the same way that Pot was very harmless and should of been legal.......
I no longer feel that way............
Wait can I ask you a question you always hear that pot is the gateway drug lets put it to a test.....
My first drug I ever messed with was pot it was my first high.....
What was your first drug of choice that you got high on?
weed in no way compares to heroin,cocaine and morphine...no way...again a bunch of idiots leading the FDA, what they need is drug addicts that have been clean to decide what schedule to put drugs under, guaranteed weed wouldnt even be on the damn list, but cigarettes would...we are all smarter than the FDA, LOL!
Why is pot in the same schedule by our government as Heroin and Morphine if it is just a joke?
I must be stupid, or still foggy from the detox. This is the second time that I saw this posted today and I don't have a clue as to what any of it means. Is there an English, shorter version available for us lay folks? Nevermind, please don't!!!!!
reefer madness is known for how ridiculous it is. It is a movie to laugh at for how off it is about the use and effects of marijuana.
Cannabis (includes tetrahydrocannibinols found in marijuana, hashish, and hashish oil). Cannabis has legal medical uses in some states in the U.S. Consequently, extreme controversy exists about its placement in Schedule I. Main article: Cannabis rescheduling in the United States.
Our federal government does not want pot to be legalized..........
They even made a movie about pot go and rent the movie "Reefer Madness"
