Geewizz that’s expensive, unless its quite a load.
Send me $25 and I can source you some Durban Poison. I hear there is a plantation close to my house.
Even though its still not legal in my country (and rightfully so I guess), that stuff to Africans are like Soya sauce to Chinese, or beer and potato crisps to pro wrestling fans.

‘Durban Poison’ sounds like a laugh! :eek:
I think ive been holed up in my house for too long.
Durban Poison is FIRE!!!
Over here it’s been decriminalized in most states. Dunno specifics, but I think you can have 1 or 2 plants or up to an oz and you just get an on-the-spot fine or have to attend an “education lecture”. IIRC it’s been decriminalized in a few northern European countries for a while now.
Yeah that’s right Toby
Now I just gotta find me some more seeds…

It’s decriminalized in the UK, I know. A friend of mine threw a party when they changed the law
Don’t know about de-criminalized, but its not that big a deal over here. Im sure the cops have better things to do than bust someone with a few grams of wheat on them. Just go to any soccer match at any of the many Johannesburg sports stadiums on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and Im sure there will be more wheat there than in all of Holland’s coffee shops combined.
For many people its not a problem, but the problem is when kids start taking it. It usually leads to more harsher drug use, and that’s where the problem come lies.
Criminalized or De- criminalized, either way Im ok with it. Don’t smoke it myself, and would probably freak if my son starts smoking it one day.

in the usa i think they even now seek the maximum fine for this stuff. :rolleyes: good thing we do jsut a good job with busting up rapists and robbers :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
It’s not decriminalized over here, it’s just been lowered to a class C.
Things like Ecstasy, Coke and heroin are A.
So the Police basically don’t do anything about it unless you’re being a d!ck, selling it etc.
Greetings..
let’s look at the potential.. legalized and controlled like alcohol, it would create a new job and tax base.. it would free up confused minds that link “hemp” to ganja and set up a massive renewable resource for natural fibers more durable than cotton, a source for many kinds of paper products, oils that would replace many more expensive and less practical products.. and, the arguement that it is a “gate-way drug” is only true because it has been driven underground where the harder drugs are readily available.. the real problem is that it is the criminal elements in the underworld that profit from this situation when it should be the taxpayer..
Opposition to legalization is largely from two sources, the flawed indoctrination by radical conservatives and the criminal element that profits from its illegal status.. by comparison, look at the social and personal price alcohol has cost.. cannibis has only a fraction of the harmful effects of alcohol, and.. given the choice i believe a majority of alcohol users would opt for a buzz that doesn’t leave them with a hangover, or give them the illusion they are invincible, or so completely compromise their motor-skills that they can’t function, or bring out hostilities, etc… Additionally, the huge cost to investigate, arrest, prosecute and incarcerate cannibis offenders could be much more wisely used to control the real drug problems.. I’ve never seen a “stoned” brawl, i have seen many “drunken” brawls..
It makes common sense to move toward a legalized status for this natural herb.. it could only help to improve the existing situation.. more jobs, more tax revenue, no cost to prosecute, more social control of its distribution and use by responsible adults, more marketable products that are eco-friendly, and, less violence and abuse from its users compared to other recreational substances.. (ie: alcohol, hard drugs, etc…).. so, why do people sit by and let criminals and redical conservatives negate common sense approaches to social improvements?
Be well..
Tai chi Bob has just put the Correct in his bong and smoked it!
When I was a cop, and later as a corrections officer, I would just shake my head over how people would get the book thrown at ‘em over having a friggin’ baggy of pot, while child molesters would go free after a few months (and be right back in again a month later!).
That’s one of the reasons I had to get outta that line of work, too much STOOOOOPID sh!t.
What does the nation gain from putting pot-smokers (not pot dealers) behind bars?
Don’t we pay for all the inmates? It boggles my mind how our country is being run. People who kill others while driving intoxicated get about as much time as a person arrested with two ounces of pot! WTF is a pothead gonna do wrong besides ruin their physique by eating 3 bags of Funyuns to squelch the munchies?
if you do a search for it on target you get like 400+ results.
Well, it goes quite well with various other focked up ways of thinking here in the U.S. such as : “Ultra-violence in media (including bombarding kids with such images) is okay, but nudity (any at all, even a bare breast during a football game halftime show, for instance) is a horrible thing punishable by severe fines.”
Conservative thinking of this sort in this country goes all the way back to the pilgrims and is so entrenched in the national culture that we’re probably stuck with it for at least another couple hundred years.
uno what’s sad about the pothead issue…i don’t even like smoking it it hurts the lungs and as a rapper and kungfukid that is not good vibes:)
so it’s like i don’t like getting drunk…which was the first drug that led me into ciggarettes then sniffing glue then pot then lsd…never messed with the hard stuff…experimented but never got hooked like some kids i know…had my first beer at five years old and then my brother handed me a puff of his ciggarrette…around the age of 10 is when i had my first potbuzz and lsd at 12…went off til i was 18 and now just smoke the kind and maybe some ciggarrettes…only drink at events
if it was legal i would just eat pot cookies and brownies and then i would not be killing myself…maybe the buzz would alter my natural thought processes but i mean how is that worse than alchohol…smoke too much pot and all you have to do is lay down and eat candy until your blood sugers are normal and you can function…i have never hallucinated off pot…but spent much time as a youth hallucinatting of prescribed drugs like gravol the motion sickness pill…my god take twenty of those and you in neverland and it only costs like two dollars for a bottle of 100 at your local durgstore…or alchohol…drink too much in one sitting and the only way you can get over that is by having a good nights sleep…ever heard of a hippy shooting up the peace rally? rappers make a lot of money talking about thugs up in the club drunk getting crunk on that azz for stepping on they toes and isht:)
so it’s like if it was legal i would have a big enough stash to just eat it for relaxation instead of killing my lungs so by keeping it illegal they are just helping me kill myself as drugs have been a part of me as long as i can consciously remember…my first major memory is being passed a beer and a ciggarette at five…and then another major memory is getting 20 dollars for my birthday from grandma and buying heman back in 83
crazy shiat i tells ya…keeping harddrugs illegal just makes it so kids have to buy crap on the street mixed with rat poisens and such so proabition sp?? was a stupid experiment me thinks…something to do with the WASPS etc thinking they know reality in they fantasy world
they used to say shiat in the reefer madness days that pot the evil mexican weed makes wholesome white girls have sex with jazz playing blacks…uh you ever think ya daughter is a hoe uncle bob kkk lover? it ain’t the weed buddy…
LOL. That’s a great post, Diego!
To find out about the real reasons that pot is so criminalised, especially in the US (which had a knock-on effect everywhere else) do a few google searches and learn about how the cotton people protected their fortunes by making the hemp people effectively illegal.
As for the effect on people, whenever I get alcohol advocates spouting about how bad pot is, or even just clean living folk, I always ask them the same question:
You’re walking down the street late at night on your own.
There’s a big group of people on one side of the street, obviously very drunk.
There’s a big group of people on the other side of the street, obviously very stoned.
Which side of the street do you choose to walk on?
Or you can go all scientamatific on their ass and start debating how tetra-hydra-cannibinol is an alcohol just like ethyl alcohol is.
MMmmmmmmtetra-hydra-cannibinol…
