HEMP for VICTORY!
I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People, a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by December 13, 2012, the White House will review it and respond!
We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the Obama Administration to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response. CLICK HERE http://wh.gov/X3tE

Washington rocks too! For people who don't know, Colorado and Washington voted on Nov 6 to legalize small amounts of marijuana and to regulate it like alcohol. If the USA Feds don't step in, that means Amsterdam now has competition.
But the petition above is not for weed but for hemp and yes there is a difference.

I have a very libertarian view on drugs.. I think all forms of drugs that can be tested for should be legal! Than just legislate it like we do alcohol! But for it to work you will also have to remove any and all goverment support for those people who get hooked on drugs! As in they F-up their brains to a point that they are not able to hold down a job and 'now' require government assistance to survive.. For legislative examples, with regards to alcohol.. If you are a pilot, you can not fly a plane if you have had a drink in the past 24 hours.. Do the same thing for other drugs, just adjust the time frame to account for the drug in question.. If you are a pilot, you can not fly a plane if you have smoked a joint in the past 40 hours.. If you are a pilot, you can not fly a plane if you have snorted coke in the past 80 hours.. If you are a pilot, you can not fly a plane if you have dropped acid in the past month.. Granted some jobs will not require such strict rules.. I am sure the starbucks barista with a ring in his nose and tats up one arm and down the other will still be able to perform his/her job under the influance But most jobs will require such strict rules! The up side to legal drugs is it would remove most if not all the criminal activity associated with illegal drugs And what makes it a win win is the following.. In that no typical working man will be able to do drugs.. Except maybe when he is on vacation.. In that there are just not enough hours to recover before you have to go back to work.. Thus the only people who can afford to do drugs will be the rich kid types who inherited their wealth.. And I could care less about what they do to screw up their heads! In that they can afford to be brain dead. Granted some people may point out that there are some drugs that you only have to do once and your hooked! Oh well! Sorry about your bad luck! That is to say if your dumb enough to take such a drug, than don't come crying to me or society as a whole to pay for your sorry existence for the rest of your brain dead life! You are on your own, and, hopefully not long! The down side is initially drug use would increase exponentially But within a few years you would see it drop way down Why? Well if what they say about pot and other drugs is true, that being they are all gateway drugs to stronger drugs, than eventually every pot head will take the drug that takes them out! Which means within a few years, all those in society that feel the need to do drugs would be out of the gene pool leaving behind those who didn't feel the need to do drugs... In essence drug use would become self correcting But it only works if we remove all support for those who choose to do drugs. Amsterdam is proof of that! So the only way I sign such a petition is if all government support is removed for those who choose to do drugs. Or at least go as far as to have a one time prescription filled out, where you have to sign a wavier stating you agree to not be eligible for government assistance of any kind.

The other drugs don't need to be legalized imho. Maybe in the future governments can just decriminalize the other drugs. Portugal has been doing this for around 10 years.

I guess no one else understands it's not about a drug either? You need how many signatories?
Total signatures on this petition 13

Which begs the question as to why you brought up Amsterdam, when in fact China is the world leader in hemp production. Quote:

Hard to tell say with certainty due to the fact that it is illegal it is harder to collect data on peoples habits. But we know marijuana is harmful, only questions left is how harmful. Common since should tell you to avoid inhaling smoke of any kind.. Hence the natural instinct to cough when there is smoke.. It is something you have to learn/train your bodies natural instinct to ignore.. Most marijuana smokers consume a lot less cannabis than cigarette smokers consume tobacco, however the harmful effects of smoking marijuana should not be ignored. Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking... Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do, like frequent acute chest illnesses, increased risk of lung infections, obstructed airways. Marijuana smoke contains three times the amount of tar found in tobacco smoke and 50 percent more carcinogens, it would seem logical to deduce that there is an increased risk of lung cancer for marijuana smokers. However, researchers have not been able to definitively prove such a link because their studies have not been able to adjust for tobacco smoking and other factors that might also increase the risk. Studies linking marijuana smoking to lung cancer have also been limited by selection bias and small sample size. For example, the participants in those studies may have been too young to have developed lung cancer yet. Even though researchers have yet to "prove" a link between smoking pot and lung cancer, regular smokers may want to consider the risk. Quote:

Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking. Quote:

Honestly I think its a great idea. No reason we should ham-string ourselves from using a legitimate working tool.
That said I will not sign anything going to the White House, until we have a real American sitting in office-not a man who hates his country.
