    hey yall,

    if you go onto the DEA website, the try to tell you about how "bad" mj is for society. I would like to hear what you all think are the stupidist claims stated by the DEA and propaganda organizations.

    I can name plenty but the claim that really sticks out in my mind is how marijuana activists are trying to manipulate their audience because it is a tactic used to legalize all drugs, like meth, cocaine, and heroin. There maybe a handful of people who want all drugs to be legal, but most of us mj activists are pushing for mj legalization, not heroin legalization.

    this isnt really a stupid claim, but i just love the way how so many official reports on cannabis include as one of the adverse reactions:

    feelings of impending doom

    In circa 1971, the lapd put out a pamphlet "for concerned parents" in Q & A form
    that supposedly contained facts about illegal drugs.
    First of all, under the effects of marijuana were listed: paranoia, dizziness, tremors, panic, violence, nausea--things that, if true, would have meant that no one would even want to smoke it, ever.
    But the biggest laugh was:
    >>"What's a lethal dose of marijuana?"
    "30 grams per kilogram of body weight"<<

    Which means the average person would have to smoke 11 pounds of pot at a time.
    They used gram/kilogram weight because in those days few people in the U.S. knew the metric system (everything else in the pamphlet had been in oz. & lbs.).
    However, I knew the metric system cause I smoked pot, and knew that 28 gms. = oz.
    Marijuana taught me the metric system.

    Yea - weed was the only thing that moved the US into the metric system. Back when you could get a kilogram for $100. The DEA has always said dumb shit back when it was the BNDD they put out this flick called reffer madness that was so bad that it was cool.

    Yeah hippypaul, I remember back in '67 when you could get a brick (kilo) of Acapulco Gold for $100.00.
    That's about $45.00/lb.
    And Acapulco Gold still ranks as one of my Top 5 strains I've ever smoked. A clear-headed, active high.
    And damn that could give you cotton-mouth like you couldn't believe.
    I once smoked a j with a friend and went to the movie's and had cotton-mouth so bad I couldn't even talk; I just pointed to the coke machine.

    I rode a Greyhound bus from LA to Little Rock with 10 keys of Gold in my duffel bag. I was the man for a while there. Felt like we were up to our eyeballs in smoke. But that was long ago in a country far away.

    i love the impression i get from dea and dare...that only people who whipe their asses with fifties can afford drugs

    like i thought for a while it was just cause i was a fifth grader and overestimated everything, but now that i look at my old dare workbook, my god a grand for an ounce? and most kids thought of an ounce as like an ounce of water, so all our eyes got big and we just assumed we could never afford it.

    Ive seen a quote of a DEA official saying that someone would have to consume nearly 15 hundred pounds of marijuana to receive a lethal response. There ya go... the DEA even admits the drug they are hounding is relativly harmless...

    I think most of the people who visit this forum are too young to know what a thai stick is. I dont think they are though. This is actually the first time ive ever seen them even mentioned online.

    Dont ask me how big it was, because I dont know, but from my understanding it was a stick, with weed tied around it. The weed was supposedly from thailand. Hence, thai stick.

    As I recall it was bud tied to a stalk with a hemp fiber. The usual smoke was leaf, so good bud was unusual. Some were reputedly diped in hash oil.

    I used to be with the dea until a crazed man who had been smoking on the reefer the whole day shot at me. he didnt hit me but this just goes to show you that marijuana can take a sane person and drive him mad
