Thread: How you seen this soap? Officer, I swear its my shaving cream

Great fun. There was a bacon-flavored shaving soap at one point, too. Don't remember if it was MB's. Cannabis, non-psychoactive kind, has a great mineral profile, is a very easily digested and superior amino acid profile in addition to being high in protein (to help stave off the munchies..) and provides plenty of fiber. It is simply too good a plant, industrially and nutritionally, to deserve to be relegated to the confines of drug culture (not knockin' all of drug culture).

There used to be a meta-analysis of inhaled, combusted cannabis (yes, the psychoactive variety) that showed it negated the carcinogenic effects of inhaled tobacco (a doctor in San Francisco). It helps increase hunger, especially good for people undergoing chemotherapy (C5 receptors, but my memory is iffy...). It's controversial because it's just too good, really. The tipping point for illegality is really the psychoactive variant.

I believe there is a suitable reason for making it illegal: keeping the people who go nuts on it locked up. Misuse of criminal offense = waste of government money, but controlling the people who are set off from it, in a bad way, when law is used appropriately, is just plain common sense. Look at brain development and the unnatural brains that are walking around, especially the kind of urban jungle people like me are constantly confronted with and it is hard to argue against some level of criminalization.

Have you ever personally witnessed a pothead get set off, go nuts and lose it? But then they'd have to get off the couch first....

Let me preface this by saying that this is no joke. In college, I once almost got behind the wheel stoned. I was hungry and decided to go to Hardee's which was across town. By the time I got my shoes and coat on and found my keys, the pizza that I had forgot that I ordered earlier showed up at the door. This was the only time that I ever came close to doing something harmful to others when I smoked.

Some people already close to undesirable states of mind seem to be pushed into a true psychosis, and in the context of this thread a psychotic rage, specifically, by the otherwise benign THC. I don't believe it's just an herb, many drugs inspired, directly extracted from or modified from natural herbal compounds. Today's super-potent marijuana is not the same as the 60's, bub. Also, the bad brains are not functioning like your typical keyboard typing wet shave enthusiast. I know a few people who's minds are borderline bad (or are already just plain bad, totally sober (or the closest I've seen them to sober)) and marijuana is a no-no in my opinion and sometimes experience.

I find this all so funny, First off some of the USA founding Fathers Grow it to make ropes and papers to help pay for Our Freedom. Secondly, The only reason it is illegal, was to get the Mexicans out of the USA in the 1920-1930's.. Since then the dumb asz's in the Government made it just like cocaine. That is why it is illegal.

I know first hand that it's a Great drug for those that have cancer, HIV and other pains and Health problems. Hopefully These J/A's will take it off the illegal list and Start finding out it is a Great Medical drug to Help some people out...

I will be ordering a puck or two..with some of the other kinds too.

This thread has made me curious... about the soap, that is.

Let us know what it's like when you try it.

Of course you do. You're one of those people that believes they know what's best for others. I call people that think this way "hall monitors", which would be funny if the same mentality didn't infect our law makers. Nanny state central planning meddlers...now that's what should be illegal!

It is absurd to make illegal consensual activity between adults.

And that means absolutely nothing. That today's cannabis can be (though often is not) grown to produce a higher THC per plant content does not fundamentally change the THC. In other words, if it took a person one cigarette to achieve his desired effect in 1967, it may now take less than a full cigarette. So what? That's like saying drinking beer is safe because it has a lower alcohol content than whiskey...an alcoholic is just going to drink another beer! The guy in the 60s simply smoked a bit more.

Some grows are making it stronger, There was a show on (Drug Inc) That has a grower that was working on different plants and dirt and some plant food to come up with higher levels of THC in the plants.. Also if grown in doors with recycled air the THC levels where higher then those grown outside..

I am waiting for My order so I can see/smell how close it comes to the real stuff and want to know how long it will last.. As far as Mary Jane goes, I hope it does become legal. Just read the news papers for 1 month and see how many people died from someone just smoking it.. Then look for the ones the was drinking /driving and killed someone.. Alcoholic is the greater of these two evils and From Me I would rather smoke then drink... Drinking made Me a mean drunk, But when I would get high I was (In My best Chong voice) "Was like so mellow man and Wow look at all the pretty colors".
