I remember Gatewood Galbreath from my time in Lexington in the 1970s. In fact I went to a party at his old Northside mansion.

I stumbled on a few marijuana patches during my trecks through the woods in central KY...glad I didn't get shot.

Burning IS the best way to get rid of it...

Have fun y'all!

I live in Kentucky. Prescription Pills are an epidemic here, and many are dying from the Florida pipeline. Suddenly nobody cares about pot- bring it on, the politics are right, am I am a Christian. We need to first stop our people from dying THEN maybe worry about harmless weed.

I am all for legalizing it. At least decriminalize it. Let the farmers grow it as a cash crop, tax it, and watch Kentucky grow in riches.

We spend (err waste) an incredible amount of money and resources fighting the war on pot, a drug that is less harmful to an individual than alcohol. We have been made to believe pot is bad and does all sorts of bad things to us when used but much of that was bull**** propaganda or based on faulty tests and experiements that took place back in the old days. I can't believe as advanced as we are we haven't even considered changing the law based on real scientific studies & facts. It should be legal with age requirements and the product should have black label warnings of potential harms. There are far bigger battles to fight.....

Everyone with half a brain knows pot laws & the propaganda against it are complete BS. The problem is the feds aren't about to give up all of that power & feeding that prison industrial complex.

Pot laws have wrecked & taken more lives than the actual pot itself ever has. Speaking of that, weed's never taken a life in recorded history. Yet thousands dead every year from prescription drug abuse (hell, some are over the counter), alcohol & cigarettes. Makes sense.

Really does make you wonder what the real reason is for pot being illegal if they can't present any factual evidence why it shouldn't be more than a black label product

Oh the facts are out there. They used it as a scapegoat to get rid of certain types of people back in the days. Racism basically. Then it just sorta perpetuated from there. Nixon releasing phony studies so to get it categorized as a Schedule 1 drug (like Heroin), then Reagan jumping on the moral bandwagon, tons of propaganda, commercials, etc etc.

It's actually amazing to me that people can let that BS influence them so much & not look at the actual facts. If they did, no one in their right mind would be for these pot laws. Its ridiculous.

BTW, there's a good A&E series called Hooked: Illegal Drugs And How They Got That Way. One of them in on marijuana. It's very precise & I encourage anyone wanting to learn the real factual history of this drug to watch it.
