Not concerned, as I have no plans of travelling to Portugal any time soon. Nor do I foresee the legalization of pot in this country leading to any increase in crime.

And that makes them weak and pathetic maybe suicide would be a better option for them instead of being a drag on society with drug dependency, violence, and crime.

There are no US Embassy travel warnings about Portugal.

It is not about escaping all he realities of life. It is about escaping stress. Stress is generated by evil and stupidity. People are good generally- some people and some systems we live in are pure evil and eat away at you on a daily basis.


There is a catch 22 when it comes to using booze and dope to escape this vile human environ. The use of dope and booze give temporary or illusionary escape..but it weakens you and allows the bad things to continue to advance and nothng changes- Some times you have to sober up- and take on these dark forces full strength and clean up your immediate life- You can't focus on such a battle if you are high or drunk- the bad guys win when you are not at 100%.



POT is not your real friend or helper- chronic use is like living with a disloyal and betraying wife..She makes you feel good at night but she will open the door to the wolves in the morning.

And I bet they will start posting threads how much they dislike American blacks and possibly Caribbeans as well.

No source? No surprise.

False propaganda and pot criminalization have a long history together. The truth about pot just doesn't scare people into supporting the destruction of freedom the way lies like yours do.
