Weird ain't it? The big majority of the people all over the world agree it should be legal, wether they use it or not. If only politicians would be less stupid and/or corrupt and listen to the people and science.
One of the funnyest comments from scientists I ever read about politicians and how they go about cannabis laws has been published in The Lancet as a comment on a research that proved there is no psychosocial harm comnnected with cannabis use. Read it here, it's funny as hell. 
(but very true, sadly enough.)

John 8:45
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not
Romans 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." - John 8:31-32
Galatians 4:16
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Is this how you talk about your neighbours, the people who help you in the store, the people that are the big majority of cannabis users and no one will ever notice?
Take a look at the people you just insulted;

It's all good and well quoting things that say "I tell you the truth". But, many other religions also have in their scriptures, people saying "This is the truth". You cannot "know" if it is real. Every religion says there's is true. You can only believe. |

I believe that absolute truth can be known in a non-carnal sense, and the ones that know it will always appear as lunatic nutters to those that don't. |

A couple weeks ago I took part in a conference on Secular Mysticism . It appears that the problem of certain illegal substances is debated on some serious academic levels and it seems that few scientists support the government's idiocy regarding cannabis or mushrooms. We're nt talking about some "druggies" here. These are all people with signifficant academic achievements , such as prof. Kripper at Saybrook Graduate Schooo.
The only explanation I have for the present policies is the pressure of alcohol industry, the people who are allowed to produce, market and sell the only legal drug. |

It's impossible to know the truth about religion though. You may believe it so strongly that you think you know it, but you still don't. It would be good if there was a way to find out somehow (without dying), and everyone found out and discovered if their religion was real or a pile of bs.

Sometimes it can happen that a government uses it for things we don't like and than we just kick them out, what is happening right now btw, our present government isn't performing as we want them to and if you have a look at the polls here in Holland you'll se | | |
