How come it's legal for cats to have catnip but illegal for humans to have

marijuana? :shrug:

1. I know... I get so jealous of my cat sometimes...

[mr_hat]

2. Cats don't drive. (Toonces excepted.)

3. This is what I was told about marijuana:

(I have NO IDEA if this is a load of BS, but I bet it is.)
Anyway, I was told that marijauna was originaly made illegal because southern whites realized that it was a way for southern african-americans to spend leasure time and perhaps make money. Thus, they made it illegal.

5. That's one reason..

But it was also to get rid of Mexican immigrants and to keep hemp fiber out of the market so DuPont could sell their inferior made made fibers. It was mostly made illegal because of flat out racism.

9. No, it was due to that yellow journalist Hearst guy and Dow Chemical.

Anyway, it should be called cannibus, not marijuana as that is considered racist to Hispanics.

4. Especially since the two herbs are related

It would be really cool if humans could get high from marijuana just by smelling it. :)

7. They CAN!

6. Because big pharma isn't big on selling cat anti-anxiety meds?

8. Because cats have all the fun.

10. Because Republicans don't notice cats

and this is a secret weapon that we have, that's been underemployed up to now. Cats are invisible to Republicans!

11. Cats have clout

Their lobby makes big pharm, tobacco, the NRA and the awl bidness look like Friends of the California Fruitbat

12. You beat me to it!
