Yo, Mr. President, pass the doobie... (legal, marijuana, wisdom, borders)

This President’s Day Remember That George Washington Raised Hemp And Probably Smoked

George Washington raised large quantities of hemp. So did Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and virtually every other 1700s American farmer.

It is also highly likely at least some of them smoked its potent sibling, now known as marijuana.

Perhaps we should commemorate the upcoming President’s Day by honoring George Washington with a National Celebration to Re-Legalize Hemp and Marijuana.

I think we all need a good toke! I feel like I'm losing my mind with all the crap going on in this country and world right now. I'm starting to think we're not going to be okay. Does anyone have any words of wisdom of how we get through all the problems and negativity. I think we need to have some civil unrest and start kicking some political a*s. Throw out all the programs that are evidently not working. Kick everyone off welfare and start over. If you're able bodied, you work. Start cleaning graffitti, weeding medians, doing the farm labor that no one else wants to do. That goes for prisoners too. Make them earn their damn keep. Close the borders for a while, or we're all going under. Legalize marijuana and quit spending money to prosecute and imprison. What else.... oh yeah, stop the bail outs. Let the chips fall where they may and let's start over and get back to basics. These people shouldn't be allowed to run businesses, especially into the ground. I'm done. Also, if you can't afford to take care of your family or children, then you shouldn't have children. If you're going to be on the government handout, then you should have to be on mandatory birth control. And Welfare shouldn't be a lifestyle. It should be temporary.
Thanks for letting me vent. PS - the woman who just had 8 more babies should be seriously committed. Who does she think will end up paying? We will. Just add it to my tax bill that already just caused me a heart attack last night. Pass the bong.

I do productive things instead of perusing around pothead forums. I bet you that poster was 3 bowls and 8 bags of cheetohs deep when he put that up.

Regarless of whether or not they smoked it, marijuana was a legal substance during that time period.

LOL, well I am ALL FOR legalizing pot...I mean seriously, why not? Makes no sense. I also don't agree w/welfare...to the extent that it gets abused. Welfare can be a godsend for some people, but it should be limited. I also believe that people need to stop having so many dang babies...it's like, as soon as marriage comes, out comes a baby. Why is it so automatic? I don't know, it seems weird to me, but apparently I'm the weird one because I'm not in the majority of women who naturally just want to have kids. Like I've said before, overpopulation of this earth is the root of all of our problems..it needs to be controlled. Not like in a dictatorship kind of way, but w/edumacation.

I support legalization,
but I don't support using somebody's moral values from 100-500 years ago to say that something is good.
