[citation][nom]deksman[/nom]I hope you are joking.Marijuana has anti-cancer properties (among others). The only reason its illegal is because if used properly to actually help in medical treatments, it would probably eliminate large portions of pharma drugs (which have dangerous side-effects and only address the symptoms, but never the cause) that would cause large loss of profits.Apart from that... I wouldn't touch DELL.Its terribly overpriced for what it offers.[/citation]
Don't just look at this from the medical aspect, it's also illegal because other industries like lumber and cotton would also be affected by it considering how fast it grows and how useful it can be ill probably be a better source to get paper from than trees just because of how fast it regrows, then you look into the fact that it would also be used for medical use among recreational to, and you have something that no business wants to have legal.
[citation][nom]DroKing[/nom]"Dell is feeling a financial pinch in the pocket due to falling sales as consumers flock to tablets and smartphones." Uhh more likely its because Dell's quality bottomed out.[/citation]
As much as you like to think that it's not the case, see with businesses like this is more about brand recognition than it is about quality. You can sell a piece of crap in a tinfoil box, overcharge for, and so long as people have your name on their mind when their shopping for new computer they'll get you just because they've heard of you.
Consumers are generally complete morons. Have you ever wondered why a bad product is still around, this is why, marketing. It's the reason AMD never took off in the consumer space, everybody knows what Intel is and everybody's seen the Intel commercials when they go for new computer they see AMD on it they wonder where is Intel I've seen Intel on TV.
It's sad but in tech marketing and brand awareness are far more important than having a quality product. It's also the reason why Sennheiser isn't the a household name but bose and beats are.
[citation][nom]A Bad Day[/nom]The only issue is that it's a gateway drug to harder kinds, and we're doing a crappy job with legalizing marijuana. I'm a bit alarmed by the amount of marijuana stores popping up in the country. I understand it has medical issues, but how many people actually need them? How could they sustain huge amount of marijuana stores and make them profitable if most of the customers have legit reasons/prescription?[/citation]
Then you should also be in favor of making alcohol smoking illegal, because these are also common things that you do before you start taking heroin or cocaine or what ever.
And the reason why pot stores are able to pop up and be profitable is because a lot of drugs like pain relievers such as Vicodin you don't need that if you have pot, pot works good enough as a pain reliever. It normally takes your mind off of the pain it also has a slight pain relieving effect and Vicodin will kill you over time pot can't. In fact most drugs at pot to replace have far more drastic side effects and no side effects happen far more often than you want to believe. Most drugs if you're prescribed it for a long period time you are going to die because of them.
The only reason that pot is illegal and probably the biggest reason besides the two I listed above would be drug companies make multiple billions of dollars a year and pay for lobbyists to keep that crap illegal.
How try looking up some of the numbers it's funny how much these companies con the US government out of money, but the US government never does anything about it because their bribed. That's really what lobbying is in America legalized bribery.[citation][nom]SirGCal[/nom]Wow, you couldn't be more wrong... It has many medical benefits. I've even had Dr's tell me my aggressive Multiple Sclerosis could benefit from it, but it's not legal in Texas so... I still won't do it while it's illegal.And the gateway drug BS is just that... But for that matter; tobacco is a gateway drug, and FAR more addictive in cigarette form then most of the other drugs out there. Smokers are more likely to try Marijuana.The real problem is since it is not regulated, dealers lace it with harder drugs. And the real reason it is actually illegal is they haven't figured out how to tax the hell out of it yet and if they did go back on their drug stance at this point, it would be admitting failure and having to admit all the $ spent on drug enforcement (which most of it is really for this one drug) was spent poorly. Not to mention the jobs that would be lost due to not having to police it anymore. It's all political now. But I suspect it won't survive much longer to be honest. It's going to collapse and honestly, it should. Make it legal, put a nice tax on it and make your gov coin. Ohh, not to mention the MAJORITY of people in jail for drug offences are petty marijuana charges (see: http://hashexpress.wordpress.com/t [...] stics/)... Let them out. PLUS, if a kid gets busted with a joint, they can't get student loans.. Ohh that's @#$%ing brilliant. They make a mistake so let's not let them better themselves and get an education... Wow... Just wow...This crap needs to stop. Focus on real crimes and real drugs. Mj can help some seriously sick people and many of them can not get it right now or, like me, refuse to break the law even when Doctors have suggested it can help them. Governments @#$% up. Fact. Just fess up and fix it and do the right thing going forward... for once...For me, instead of Mj, they give me Oxycodone. Basically a pill form of Morphine. (Oxycontin is the time released version of the same, mine is the direct-shot). Side effects, addiction issues and possible abuse only scratches the surface of what this type of narcotic can do. But Mj is illegal so this is what I get... Makes sense to me... The second I can get off this crap, the better. Been on it for years and when I do, it'll take me at least a few months in rehab just to get my body off of it. And I did pot for years in college like every other idiot out there. Stopped it cold turkey no problem. I tried to stop my Oxy myself and the shakes and shivers are actually terrifying. Smoked cigarettes for many years too and stopped it with similar effects but no where near the Oxy. And I hate 'being high'. I could so easily get there with the drugs my doctors give me. I strictly limit myself to avoid that because I hate it so much. I want to be normal. MS won't ever let me and eventually it will kill me. I want to hold my newborn twins. I want to drive stick again, ride a bike again, WALK again. Cuddle my wife without nerve over-reaction pains in my hands, legs and feet... Others in my situation who do use, and even Doctors tell me the answer is right there... Just out of reach.But let's all just follow the bull@#$% media and public opinion and scream "it's a drug! Kill it!". Thanks...[/citation]
Fun fact public opinion actually says they want marijuana legal, something like 55% to 40% with 5% undecided from what I remember.
Another fun fact into states pot is fully legal for any use, medical or recreational. However the federal government will still raid them for.
Another fun fact in states where it's legal for medical use the federal government comes in busts dispensaries and arrest the people who own them, even though it is perfectly legal in the states that they live
And if anyone's wondering yes I do hate my government.
[citation][nom]aoneone[/nom]Just because a pill is prescribed by a doctor doesn't mean it's anymore better than the harsh street drugs. They probably end up killing more than marijuana. My point is, why do you think prisons across America are filled with marijuana criminals? And guess what? 90% of addiction clinics across America are because of marijuana related problems. I'm sorry but statistics don't lie. And all this 'medical' mumbo jumbo is just another said excuse for these addicts to satisfy their pathetic habit. Smart people like us don't need this...[/citation]
Actually the reason why most people in prison for marijuana are in prison is because prisons are privatized, basically saying if you have people in prison you can make money off of them they're not handled by the United States government most of the time. They're not correctional facilities their place someone opens up to make a profit off of the prisoners. How do you get more prisoners in the prison you ask, make marijuana illegal a drug which by some estimates 90% of the people in this country have smoked at one point in time or another, and then mostly bus minorities for.
You can call the laws making marijuana illegal racist, and you wouldn't be wrong seeing as how white people busted with marijuana don't serve jail time but if you're black you do. Zero-tolerance laws in general are retarded, just because they don't take the situation into account.
Let's say you have a crappy boyfriend and he stores a felony amount of cocaine in your apartment. That is not a whole lot of cocaine if you know the amount and could easily be heading anywhere. Let's say you don't even know he's doing. You get caught within your apartment you are going to jail and in that some states getting a felony for cocaine is a life in prison offense. I don't know her name off the top my head but what I just described actually happened.
Drug laws are failures, the only thing they do is create a black market in which games can actually get more money and power because of it, you can make using drugs the death penalty and people still use them and sell them. Government regulation government-funded programs and government taxed drugs would be the way to go in any sane society, but we can't have that here because our government doesn't work for the people works for the corporations.
[citation][nom]kajunchicken[/nom]Instead of questioning why this is posted here, people start arguing about what he said. Welcome to the interwebs. Doesn't ANYONE wonder why the hell this is here?[/citation]
I'm taking a guess was most likely trolling, who really doesn't matter what she was doing, because other people including me have made counter arguments to it. And I like to say for the most part more rational counter arguments.
The fact that it's here doesn't matter the fact that we're telling the truth about the drug means that even people who weren't interested in it if they even read our comments are even glance at it in their mind that they understand something a little bit more now, like the cancer curing properties, most people think that's a lie and actually looked into and find the medical studies where it has in fact shrunk cancer, and if they do that middle figure out that they've been hearing propaganda their whole damned life.
Yes we are probably responding to a troll but that doesn't matter because were responding to it in a way that is an argumentative, we're responding with fax in a place that won't delete. If this was 4chan will just be stupid to respond to a troll, but this is the place that these comments will last for months or years past their original post.
[citation][nom]DRosencraft[/nom]Not sure where the drug comments came from... but I'll throw in the two-cents I've got. Marijuana is not "safe", but it isn't any more dangerous than most legal drugs. The danger of marijuana is it's degree of addiction and some of its side-effects. But, like I said, that only about puts it as a weaker version of Vicodin. Reality is that as a medical treatment it has been banned in so many places for so long there's hardly any updated, credible research on it.As for the actual topic of the article, a simple new ad campaign is not going to improve Dell's lot. They're not as "new" to the scene as they were back then. There are very, very few people who don't know about Dell. The problem is in the product. No nostalgia or anything like that will save them. They need new, better, products. Period.[/citation]
Actually the reason why marijuana specifically his banned, it was because of industries a long time ago that were afraid of the hemp market would actually destroy them. So they did was create propaganda that made marijuana look like it made black people go crazy.
And because of that laws are still on the books because of stupid propaganda.
If you want to look at heart and realistic light you also have to look at alcohol. The two are comparable to each other. While marijuana has tons and tons of scientifically researched benefits, alcohol really only has negative side effects. How did probation work out, but we made it illegal because of religious belief.
Why does a law put in place because of blatant racism stand the books but one that was just over I believe this because my religion got taken away.
