		<description>Getting to maters that mater is something we seem to be able to get down to humbly; I would like to share this with you. This from my life experience is a true connection to the ties of races through our own sex laws which have been built on misconceptions and myth.

 

The Supreme Court just ruled on sex offender laws where some factions of our government think by some inert reasoning that sex offender should be quarantined like some virus steaming from draconian/Islamic law sex offenders should be executed. I have seen for myself, video taken in another country where a sex offender is placed on a pole much like the Catholics use to use a pyramid shaped object and have them sit on it and spin, the pole travels through the body looking for the throat but if not found its ok cause the sharpened end of the pole will come out somewhere. The heritage of the act is in its self a throwback to troglodyte’s who are so obsessed with sex they can find that the way to deal with the issue is as revolutionary, as war, and two wrongs don’t make a right but has in fact called up deep rooted issues of people who have had to put up with this kind of &quot;hierarchy&quot; of historic hysteria far to long. A word taken from hysterectomy, hysteria is tied to castration used to make animals less threatening right? Good old Monty Hall. Well no wonder it’s wrong, right? 

 

Anyway we are supposed to be the most advanced nation and we still have a death penalty when the rest of the world except for nations we are still warring with, {think!} While other nations went home our weapons dealers and torture lovers delighting in support for the death of people they don’t know or want to simply because they don’t know how to get money with out taking it from someone by force, is that supposed to includes mutilations? In my humble opinion that alone are terrorist activities as much as severed hands, ears, heads,  or making a case with nothing more than an obsession justified by lies.

 

The truth about the sex offender registry will come out soon enough. When it does, People will see how the use of the registry was created, and by exactly who and why and the devastation it has created and the worthlessness of the use of it. It’s origin in the Crow laws that brought disgrace to our nation allowing thieves and murderous societal bigots who have trashed any shot at making good of a program in its design to make money destroying our nation and its people. We can not play god and we can not survive using this behavior model because we are compounding the problem.

 

It&#039;s a ruse designed by people who are getting rich off the castration/hysterectomy/health care/physic care of people through sex laws that have gone wild. What about the people who are being used by the Medicare programs that requires these mutilations for both men and woman after they take their means of support? Can&#039;t you see? You have created the model and it is worthless! Why don&#039;t you just indiscriminately kill people you don&#039;t know that’s statically the next sex offender because over 90% of all new offences are people not on the sex offender registry and the numbers are increasing not decreasing so as a behavior model the chumps put together is really screwed up and they were told before they tried it. So what is the use of such laws as the sex offender registry other than to terrorize people? With the murder of so many sex offenders and the continued disregard for life by the use of the registry it’s just a mater of time before the federal government will be held liable for the deaths through federal court.

 

In a nation where a statement may have a double or triple meaning and our entire linage can be traced through mud, guts, and beer it’s nice once in a while to get the picture of what is meant instead of what some thinks someone may have implied. So it is from the trenches to the hill. Remember the game where someone says something in someone’s ear then passes it the same way to the next; the person advocating such destructive laws are the ones who need to be section 8 by simple brake down of the issue not sex offenders.

		<description>The only time I feel paranoia or thihnk I am hearing things is when I am baked and I see a cop. Especially when I am driving. I always hear the siren go off. This is only because I am scared of getting caught and loosing my financial aid for school. I use marijuana to relax and sometimes to study, but at time the illegalization of weed makes it difficult to enjoy when I am high in public. In other words it is not marijuana that causes paranoia, it is the fact that it is illegal that causes these symptoms.</description>

		<description>People who allready are pre disposed to mental illness whatever illness that may be I believe can bring on bouts of their illness through using drugs but any drugs not just weed.  but they would have been mentally ill anyways.  Its like saying &quot; I am obese and I blame Chocolate chip cookie comercials for my stupid desicion to eat too many of the damn things&quot;.  If your mentally ill its stupid to take drugs like marijuana until you have come to terms with your illness allready and can use it as a medicine not a crutch or excuse. Just like if you weigh 800 lbs supersizing your meal prob isn;t a good idea.</description>

		<description>i have an add issue. i have tried big pharms meds to no avail. smoking marijuana has been a great benefit for me. if i dont use it, my thoughts will run like mad uncontrolable. cannabis will slow those thoughts just enough to allow me to keep things in perspective and follow through rather then one thought crashing into another. no one will ever tell me their is no benefit from responsibly using canabis. it improves my quality of life.what will it take for our government to understand. a mind is a terrible thing to waste!</description>

		<description>My mother worked for the dept of mental health, she said 80% of her clients with schizophrenia used pot. It&#039;s not how they got it, but they used it to control their symptoms. 90% of those who used it said it helped with the voices, hallucinations and other issues they were dealing with, with only a few saying either it didn&#039;t help or made it worse. 

I have NEVER believed that pot can cause schizophrenia. It&#039;s not brought on by something like pot. Sure you can say those who have it many have used pot, but they also smoked or drank since most with schizophrenia have very addictive personalities. 

But if you say pot causes it, then you also have to say smoking and drinking and a whole host of other things cause it too. It&#039;s just not true.

&lt;em&gt;[Russ responds: &lt;a href=&quot;http://stash.norml.org/tag/schizophrenia/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dr. Mitch and I discuss that a lot on the Stash&lt;/a&gt;.  With any study of marijuana users and mental health, you have to ask, &quot;did the pot cause the mental health issue&quot; or &quot;do people with mental health issues self-medicate with pot?&quot;  It&#039;s mostly the latter.]&lt;/em&gt;</description>
