  Watching the World

  by Abaddon in

  pot smoking has been possible without police interferance in holland for years.

  now with portugal lifting virtually all anti-drugs legislation, belgium joining the dutch in decriminalising cannabis, and britain reducing it from a class b to a class c drug (making it on a par with abusing perscription drugs), the only question is when will the usa give up it wasteful and pointless 'war on drugs'?

  get with the program uncle sam, don't be part of the problem which leads to massive criminal activity devoted to supplying substances whose use is a victimless crime!.

  Abaddon, what a coincidence! Right now I am reading a book entitled "Why Our Drugs Laws have Failed and What We Can Do About It." It was written by a former US judge named James P. Gray. It gives a good history about how the US ended up with the stupid and insane drug laws that it has.

  The reason we continue to have these laws are from what I have read so far:

  1) If anyone suggests that the US do anything different than the 'zero tolerance' that it has now, then they are accused of wanting to legalize drugs and giving to to children.

  2) Politians won't do it because they are scared of being 'soft' on drugs

  3) Law inforcement and government agencies get lots of money through tax money and money seized from drug busts and they would oppose any change to the current system because their money flow would end.

  4) People mentality in the US is that pot and cocaine is bad, but other drugs like alcohol and tobacco.

  I believe that one day the US will eventually soften it laws. In states like California, Nevada, Arizona and others have passed, by large margins, laws softening current drugs laws. However, they have always been shot down. I believe that the pressure will increase and we will have drug laws that will show some sanity.

  What do y'all think?

  i'm wondering if the majority here were seriously conservative squeaky clean dubs?

  there seems to be such a fun element here - i can't imagine everyone being those dull folk all decked out in their wt uniform with accompanying plastic expressions.. marilyn

  Oh, I was squeaky clean all right. I didn't do anything wrong. I was very conservatively dressed. As much as tried I never had any Witness friends. I did have one worldly friend, who is my best friend to this day.

  It was only a few months ago when started smoking, drinking, and a few weeks ago I started having sex. Life is sooooo good now!

  Back in 1985 me and my family were visiting Mexico and we agreed to take my grandmother back with us. I was about 12 at the time. We took the eight hour drive from Monterrey, Mexico to Houston, Texas.

  While we were at the border this large border patrol officer came with his dog and were searching our car. After the search was over the officer told us we could leave. My grandmother, who did not speak a lick of English, told the officer, in all seriousness, "Bye bye, baby." The officer had a look of shock in his face. Me and my family started roaring with laughter. My grandmother thought that it was an appropriate response.

  The reason I mention this is that my grandmother died 11 years ago. She died of cancer. When I think of my grandmother I always think about this incident. Although I wasn't really close to her I still miss her.

  Bye, Grandma

  I was in Jamaica about two years ago and at the resort where I was staying at, there was a nude beach. I was still a Witness at the time so I was hesitant to go there, but I figured that I was miles away from home so I did it. I went to the nude beach and when I got there I quickly took of my shirt and pulled down my shorts. No one noticed me or even cared. My embarrassment lasted for ten seconds. I meet a lot of cool people. I would love to do it again.

  I've always liked Hawaiian Punch, but it makes my lips all red after I drink it and I end up looking like I have lipstick on.
