Why Does The Media Belittle Cannabis And Glorify Alcohol

[Cannuck]

Carl Sagan is soooo worth the ridicule too. As is Neil deGrass Tyson, Bill Gates, Louis Armstrong, Steve Jobs, Seth McFarlane, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Wood Harrelson, well the list just goes on and on. Some of the best Jazz musicians of all time were pot heads.

William Shakespeare, Queen Victoria, George Washington...

Pot doesn't make you stupid or silly. You start that way already. Alcohol makes you stupid and you don't have to start out that way.

To compare the pot that Shakespeare smoked to the pot being smoked today is silly.

Concentrated tinctures and hashish were the high test of the past and as potent. Silly Putz.

Off all the people listed, you picked off good ol William? Would it help to know he probably had a lovely supply of laudanum to go with his pot?

Also, He may have had to smoke a whole joint to himself to get the high that one can now get at just 2 tokes is true. But the great thing about better potency is that now we only have to have a toke or 2. Better on the wallet.

The papaver somniferum, another plant we are co-dependant in evolution. There is a reason the god Morphesus was instrumental in Rome's success. A soldier didn't feel the pains of battle.

You could be right. Maybe the pot smokers here are just stupid to begin with.

well, being a pot smoker and not being stupid, I'll take your comment to mean that you don't have to be a pot smoker to be dumb.

Stupid doesn't improve in quality. Then again, neither do drunks

But cannabis is a gift from the Goddess Seshat:

Therefore, it is divine!

I think that's a Lotus (no marijuana) leaf....

Etho-botanist and anthropologist Terence McKenna says human evolution is tied to psilosybin.

And you just made the same comparison to rebut. You're a silly to suggest that the plant itself was incapable of a wide range of strength in antiguity. Especially since that quality was already cultivated ten thousand years ago, and why would the Queen or Shakspere ingest ditch weed.

Really? Now you stand Einstein with the dope smokers in order to justify your want for drugs?
