In his dissent from the recent Bong Hits 4 Jesus decision, Justice Stevens (the oldest justice on the court, and 3rd oldest of all time) drew upon his memory of the Prohibition era (and its immediate aftermath) to compare the alcohol fundies of yore with the Warrior on Drugs today.

Shorter Stevens: We all know how well prohibition worked out.

If ‘drug-inducing speech’ is banned, then please define ‘drug-inducing speech’. I have a feeling that politician’s speeches induce lots of pot smoking, so do we have to ban that? And, if there actually is such a thing as ‘drug-inducing speech’, then why haven’t Cheech & Chong done a movie using it? Huuuuuh?

I defy anyone to provide examples which really do induce someone to use pot or any other drugs.

SCOTUS is quickly becoming SCROTUS.

I had just been reading on the Ayahuasca forums, and so when I saw the title, I thought you were referring to the book Antipodes of the Mind, by Benny Shannon.<br /> But the thread still was about drug experience.</p> Huh–what a coincidence.

Loo Hoo, I’d be thrilled with decriminalization, if it means we stop locking people up for possessing a plant.

The truth is, alcohol causes more violence and deaths than weed.
