Why should I be willing to die for a country that won't even let me smoke some herb when I want to?

Question

The reason i use herb as an example is because it is not lethal and grows naturally out of the ground.

Answer 1

Well... speaking as a US Navy veteran: We have a voluntary military so that you dope-smokers can sit at home on the couch keeping our snack-food industry rolling along.

I don't care if you're unwilling to die for this country... and I certainly wouldn't want you IN my military. I never smoked herb in the military, and anyone who got caught smoking and working on MY helicopter would have had their butt's kicked.

Oh, AFTER my 15 yrs of service... I DO smoke a little herb on holidays. YES, I question the logic of making tobacco legal, yet herb illegal... but it IS the law.

Answer 2

Junior, there are countries all over the world that will allow you to smoke all the weed you care to smoke. And, there's transportation leaving everyday. Don't let the door hit you on the way out... Please make it a one way journey.

BTW, lots of poisons can be derived from simply chewing the seeds or leaves of plants that grow out of the ground. Strychnine is "natural", just like your herb. A good helping of that would give a high you would never return from.

Answer 3

You have answered your own question. You should not have to die for your country, nor should you be willing to. You want to smoke herb? Good, that should be your right. I believe that you, by staying home and enjoying yourself with some tree, are doing more good, and fulfilling more purpose on this planet, than you would be on the ground in iraq, getting your limbs blown off or perhaps shooting an iraqi. smoke up! you are a great american and for all you right wing fascist robots out there, i say, george washington, mr isolationist herb smoker himself, would agree.

Answer 4

Because when you get behind the wheel after smoking the herb... you crash into a family in a van and kill all of them but you live because you were limber from said herb.

Answer 5

Dude, you sure as hell are not a reflection of me or any of my circle of friends.

"Why should I be willing to die for a country that won't even let me smoke some herb when I want to?" I sincerely believe that you wouldn't be able to die, even to save a family member.

You sit on your butt as our brave young men fight to give you freedom of speech and all you're worried about is smoking pot? Just wondering, did you think of this question before or after you had your joint?

Answer 6

Mary jane might be illegal.......but it does make you not in your right mind. (speaking from a person who back in the day used to be a huge pot head, but not anymore I have kids) U have to realize the dependability is not there with someone who is on drugs. Would u want someone who trippin on acid sitting next to you? Knowing this person is suppost to have your back while Iraqi's are shotting at you? I certainly don't want anyone like that protecting my husband. I think when you get older you'll realize that life is so much more than weed. Like I did.

Answer 7

Do you live in the U.S.A.? Do you have the freedom to move from one state to another? Do you have the freedom to say what you think without the fear of being killed for it? Do you have the freedom to protect your home? I really could go on and on, bottom line...YOU have this FREEDOM because true AMERICANS DIED so you could. My Grandfather fought in WW1, and many family members have fought and died in all the wars. My son is in the Air Force and HE is putting HIS life on the line so people like you can live in freedom. How dare you think more of smoking pot than your fellow Americans. I know many soldiers who smoke pot, they are still defending their country and all that it stands for. If you feel so prosecuted about your dope smoking, if you feel America isn't worth your life, then buy a plane ticket to somewhere else. We don't need your foolishness here. God Bless our soldiers and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Answer 8

Well why dont u go to africa where that stuff is not illegal. Once there for a few weeks you will appreciate what this nation gives to you on a daily basis as in your freedom, The items that we have available on a daily basis that they do not have, all of the things that they are wanting to have and cannot. This is such a moronic question that you honestly need to be deported there

Answer 9

So you smoke weed because it's NATURAL? Well SULFURIC ACID is 'natural' too, so why don't you DRINK IT. The military doesn't want morons who have to do drugs. YOU PEOPLE are not dependable. I wouldn't want to have to have my life depend on some drugged out moron in a fire fight.
