George Soros has a huge lobby to legalize hemp all over the world, I guess because it makes people more mellow and complascent.
Althought, and that part is rumour, his thing is Opium. I am confident it will be legal in most of US states soon, still is ilegal here in Brazil. I think it is bad idea to use narcotics of any kind, and also legal drugs to help sleep or antidepressants. Once you get hooked, is really hard to get off. I almost lost my father to crack cocaine, and it started with hemp, so I am totally biased about it. He was in a clinic for 5 months and his wieght dropped to 45 kg, he was a little more than a skeleton. Also, I was hooked in antidepressants when I was a atheist, but dropped 5 years ago. So I hate this kind of stuff. But I do not see society changing by legalization of hemp, everything will be much more smelly, that´s all.
I've lost a family member to alcoholism. Why is it ok for alcohol to be legal?
Smoking is more addictive than pot, far moreso.
You are righ. My father still smokes 1 pack of cigaretter a day. I heard pot is not that addictive, but I rarely see people dropping it till it scalates to harder drugs and they have to drop to stay alive.
To be honest, I deal with addicts everyday because of my work, hemp users look really weird, it changes them.
Tobacco users, you can´t know they are on it most of times, but hemp changes the person in a weird way.
At least this is how I see it according to my experience.
About alchool, ex-junkies can´t have any. At least it is not safe: It triggers the addiction all over again. =(
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
