The Word 'Marijuana' Is Racist.

[downriverdave]

The uber wealthy was behind all of it. The reality is big wealth is government. Taking a commodities player out of the market led to bigger wealth for those with an alternative. Making weed/cannabis illegal expanded the power of the government over the people.

It was not a racist movement, but racism was used as a tool to push it through. Much of the racism theories on the weed grab were actually based and used in the criminalization of cocaine not weed.

Yes, they changed the name to something scary, whether the name existed before is irrelevant. It is not the name people knew and associated with the commodity. I have read it was this move and the ignorance of the masses that let it happen. A very disturbing pattern that repeats over and over.

"Should we believe self-serving, ever-growing drug enforcement/drug treatment bureaucrats, whose pay and advancement depends on finding more and more people to arrest and 'treat'? - Fred Oerther, M.D., Portland, Oregon, September 1986

Yet the wealthy and several presidents enjoyed their Vin Mariani and probably had a doobie to mellow out.

They also call heroin China White, which is less racist sounding than China Whitey, but still racist.

They only call the white powder from China 'China white', otherwise it's mostly Mexican black tar ... or 'Cheeba'

I tried a get a prescription from my doctor, but he was dead against it, and went on to tell me he was involved with studies about what cannabis does to the brain. He claims places where it's now legal are going to regret it.

That's because in the states where it has been legalized requires users to mirror the intake the lab mice had to endure. It frickin hard smoking 250 joints a day, I'm telling you. I can hardly from a sin tance glorp

No, I believe it has more to do do with the effect. The first few times I did it, it was exactly like a concussion. I felt like I had been kicked by a horse and if you had asked me to say "heroin", I'm sure "horse" would've come out.


Now, THAT stuff needs to remain illegal.

Calling the little white guy Choy Boy is racist. Choy Man or Choy Dude would be so much more PC.
