dude, don't get down. go to youtube and instead watch videos of kittys playing, or guys crashing on motorcycles.

Sure you won't save the world, but does being depressed save the world?

(i should listen to that last sentence)

I watched cops last night and got really depressed about America. I don't know what other people get from that show, but it just makes me hate those ignorant sadistic fascist pigs. The land of the free? My ass

I get that people are fucking stupid. Beating up their wives and trying to flee in their car from a helicopter. I'm sure everyone gets something different, but I think it for sure fires us all up in one way or another.

'ignorant sadistic fascist pigs' - I'm not saying I'm leading the 'love police march' but I really think they show different episodes of cops in CO.

I like to keep cool quotes and this thread gave me so many! Haha. Shit sandwich... Greed under the guise of capitolism... Nice. But I understand yeah I'm not living in a country where 8 children die of starvation every 5 minutes or a country where you don't know where or when the next bombing might occur in you city BUT... Those countries should have hope. But what about me and the rest that call themselves Americans? We're supposed to be one of the greatest and most developed nations on the planet and our political officials are involved in secret agendas which are literally sided toward the highest bidder. Where's the hope in that? People that are supposed to be leading us only lead us in the direction that will profit them the most. Damn shame.

I was bored and watched it. I thought was humorous. I figured they would have more substance in 2 hours of horseshit propaganda. bilderburg group..lol...right....no doubt it exist, but I am not buying the whole masterminding of globaliziation superpower driving the world into poverty.

Just take a month or two off from reading or listening to the news, that will change your perspective and keep you from being caught up in the whole mess.

I did find it sad, like you said about them not being able to talk about weed without laughing, after all it was the number one question by a large margin. Too bad they don't want to listen to the people.

Marijuana should be legal, locking people up and giving them a police record for having a small amount of herb is just plain ridiculous. That also ruins their chances at finding a job, it is just ridiculous.

I really would like to move to amsterdam, seems like they have it right and haven't had much trouble because of their drug policies.

and its just going to get worst. the government is or beast, and they can take away anything and all of us at any given time. its all about the money to them rat basterds.

fucking exactly. america is losing individuality every day. people are becoming more like everyone else and there are very few 'different' people. as far as personalities go, that is.

I just keep up with stuff on the internet, try to focus on my community instead of the fucked up government.

that's the problem with americans right now.

we think we can't take the government.


guess what, the ratio of us to them is literally like 50000:1 or something?

the government can't take us at it's current size, so I suggest we do something soon to get it under control.

Thanks for the suggestion. What the hell, why not? But I agree. I am in my college days and finding thinking about the future more and more moving into the present and I too think about living in Amsterdam a lot. I know it's not the cure-all to my problems but it seems pretty nice.

I recommend large amounts of quality Cannabis & Bob Marley. Some sun, breeze, & nature sounds also helps.

move to europe. its fantastic here.

The election almost lost me my closest friends in the world (other than my wife.) They simply couldn't comprehend that I didn't want 'Hope' or 'Change' or someone with a brain in office. Granted McCain doesn't have a brain at least not one that functions fully, but I felt that more of the 'same crap' was better than a sudden left turn into on coming traffic.

Since we almost lost our closest friends I've stayed 110% out of this shit world of politics. Up until 2 days ago when Obama did his, "giggle, the internet is full of pot heads" stand up act. At that point I decided I'll look backwards.

Every reference he made to 'ending the war on drugs' during his campaign he SPECIFICALLY mentions 'federal mandatory minimums for crack.' Not weed, not coke, not meth, CRACK!!

Then it hit me, it's about race, specifically HIS race. (If you weren't paying attention kids, the higher percentage of Crack arrests are 'African American' and the sentences handed out are ridiculously high. I agree with lowering them or removing them, but NOT releasing them.)

I don't have a problem with any race at all, what I do have a problem with is legislation having a racial preference. If he decides to let crack dealers and crack heads off the hook he sure as hell better let weed growers off the hook as well. I personally loath crack, I watched it kill several of my friends and I'll never touch the stuff or associate with anyone who does.

If he lets all the crack people out of jail and keep incarcerating marijuana smokers, growers, dealers, and tokers then I will be officially done with this nation. The bottom line is I live here, I vote here, I pay stupidly high taxes here, and I chill here. I don't like, never have liked, and will never like crack heads and the destruction that follows in their wake. I don't want a nation full of free crack heads, end of discussion.

His 'I inhaled, that was the point' was SUCH a load of BS. Sure you and roughly 65% of the country did too so what? He just going to continue to bend to special interest, big money, and every one else until the end of his term then he's either going to see re-election or he's going to free crack criminals and leave us peace loving, mellow, marijuana people to rot.

Sweden or Switzerland has been looking good for quite a few years.

As the title suggests, I simply need someone to let me know if I am just bitching about nothing or if things have gotten as bad as I fear. Right now I literally have a sickening feeling in my stomach as to the politics and politicians that surround the American government. It is a very claustrophobic feeling to know that no matter what "knight and shining armor" goes through to become a president and to "stand for change" will only be tainted by the sick growth that continues to grow during the electoral process. For many of you this is just old news to you; been there, thought about that. But for some this may be a very eye opening experience. In current news as many of you all heard and know, Obama and his cute entourage of brain trusts literally could not speak the word marijuana without laughing! It is so sick to think that for many of us, marijuana is the reason we are still alive. Marijuana is the reason we have a quality of life! So all I ask is to know whether this is just a figment of my imagination or does America deserve the "Scum of the World" seal of approval. I am just so god damn sick of politicians and their secret agendas!

Well to me it seems that your argument is mostly about how Obama isnt going to legalize MJ. Do you want to know why the majority of Congress and the govt votes against legalization, even for medicinal use?... its because Marijuana is a drug that can and will be easily abused. Its the most popular drug in the world becuase its the easiest to produce/consume and has very little initial consequence. But with continued abuse and constant "craving" for the emotional well being it brings, your mind begins to change into something like a 5 year old childs. Yes you may know right from wrong and not cause any trouble to anyone but psychologically your altering your brain. How you alter it really depends on the individual, but that also adds to its illegalization, its unpredictable.

Besides the war on drugs is never going to end, it generates WAY to much income for the govt.

yeah man that shit i altering my brain cool. i wonder how it will turn out. been medicating for over 30 years.
what was it we were talking about?

no offense but that is bullshit all the hardest working and intelligent people i know use cannabis daily from biologists to athletes. i have had many jobs its the alcoholics who are not to be depended on. the minds of 5 year old children what are you talking about. if anything cannabis keeps you grounded and in reality. your statements are way off base lol. why are you on riu with those kinds of feelings. i guess you would prefer everyone take pharmaceuticals ssri's opiates benzodiazepenes etc.. ive seen what those do to people.

Ok so i was alil vague... im talking more about unestablished minds, like teenagers/college students etc... Weed doesnt grow your mind, it only grows your imagination, and kills your social perticipation.

...Tell me weed doesnt make you lazy

edit: I would prefere people to use more natural methods of controling their angry or anxiety (deep breathing, exercise, natural vitamins etc..) not more use of drugs. Drugs do nothing but change who you are, no matter what drug it is. People refuse to accept the responsibilty of life and numb reality with drugs.

whats so fantastic about it.

i wouldnt consider myself lazy no i work hard at any job i get like it or not. and i race and train 200 to 300 miles a week. i know some people who smoke who are lazy i also know people who dont smoke who are lazy. alcohol is far more destructive in many many ways as are prescription pills cannabis by comparison is like skittles. in california cannabis is somewhat legal and i dont see stoners on street corners begging for money or robbing homes to get there dope. i feel lazy people are lazy people regardless. sorry i attacked you in my first post. but your comments suprised me.
