Hey I have this issue of time magazine that talks about the subject and I think it should be legalized because of many good reasons that I have been explain to people for years and I dont really want to get into it right now but hey post your opinion.


wow have you noticed how many Threads Ive put up in the past thirty minutes or so...
 
Yes, four. Cut it out.

If you don't want to get into the reasons, why make a thread?

Oh, and, there is no jail sentence for smoking marijuana nowadays. The fine is the same here in Illinois if a cop pulled me over for smoking a joint as it would be if I had an expired license plate. War on drugs, maaaaan... :rolleyes:
 
The whole marijuana thing is different where I live and thanks for the welcome I love this site and it was awhile before I went ahead and signed up, and I know i did get carried away, sorry if I inconvienced anyone.
 
Yeah Derek I know but hey I was only trying to have a little fun oh and you dont have all the korn cd's and you have been to one of their concerts and I was there looking for you the whole time, but it was still fun.
 
Marijuana should be legalised - but it should also be subject to exactly the same controls that other legalised drugs like liquor and cigarettes are subject to - including taxation, driving under the influence, age restrictions, can't grow your own, no smoking areas and all the other limitations and costs associated with legalised narcotics
 
Legalize it. I couldn't care less if you smoked it as long as you don't do it near me, or smoke it before you go into work where people's lives could be in danger.

im with you but not being able to grow your own is kinda harsh. at present i grow my own for my own personal use and im the only one who uses it. if all states were to adopt south australias 2 plant maximum, im sure the cops would still be able to run up quite a revenue.

dreadknot, creating another username wont save you :lol:

Well, if you can grow your own tobacco, fair enough.

I don't believe it's as harmless as people are letting on - there are links with long term marijuana use and depression, and we're now seeing evidence that marijuana users are subject to the same cancer risks as tobacco smokers. If you grow your own, the government can't tax it. If there is a cost to society of people smoking dope, then there must be a tax recompensing society for that cost.

ive got no argument there mate, marijuana is worse on the body than cigarettes. not only is there the depression and reproductive problems but one marijuana joint contains more tar and bad stuff than a few cigarettes. just take a look at the smoke of a joint, its thick, dark and heavy.

who do you think would end up growing mass quantities of marijuana for the puiblic? could you imagine the dramas that would come about security wise?

i think if people were able to grow their own limited supply of marijuana, there would be far less problems community wise and people wouldnt have to pay copious amounts of money for marijuana that is supplied by some kind of governmental body.

Here, I disagree - if people are prepared to pay $10 for a packet of cigarettes, then they'll pay $10 for a packet of marijuana cigarettes - especially if there are criminal penalties for growing or stealing dope. If the stuff's readily available, and can be obtained for a 'reasonable' price (using tobacco as a yard stick), then I think you'll find people using legalised dope, simply because it's easier.

well thats one thing i didnt even consider, if somethings legal and readily available youll have people lowering prices for competition. yet again, the vat is on the ball :)
 
Wow, Robin I'm impressed. No ****s, ****s, hards, or owns in your posts. You've actually thought about what your saying. Im geussing you're sober??
 
I think if it was legal the world would be a better place. The cops would have more time to find murders. The jail's would'nt be full all the time. And i can't think of anything.

People can always be counted to follow the path of least resistance - why else do you think toll roads work?

How so?
Do you have any evidence to back this statement up?

If anything, it would cause the cops more problelms if it were to become legalized. If marijuana was to be treated like alcohol is, then it would certainly keep the cops even more busy and fill the jails even more.

If marijuana was to be treated like alcohol, which it probably would be then you would have all the same issues associated with drinking. Public intoxication, driving under the influence so on and so forth. These infractions take up considerable amounts of time for the police department in just the cases of alcohol not to mention that now marijuana would be thrown into that mix as well. The infractions that were mentioned above are all served with a short stint in jail and not to mention that DUI infractions and deaths involved with driving under the influence all involve longer and longer jail sentences.

I know about 75 people who agree with me. And in there words if pot was legal i would not drink,smoke ciarettes,do other drugs.

So based on the 75 people that you know, your going to estimate that the other lets just say 75 million people that would participate in smoking marijuana would tell you, and do, that exact same thing?
 
So many times I have been confronted with this topic. On the surface, I'd say as long as you don't hurt me, what's the harm. Also I might also say, I would rather meet someone stoned on the road driving 15 mph, than a drunk driving 150! Depression? There's some 40,000 different kinds of depression and docters are readilly and available to hand out all sorts of medication to treat it. It's natural, well before they genetically altered the THC content to levels that are off the charts.

Then I think about friends that use on a regular basis. They have lost all ambition and have very little drive or energy to do ANYTHING. I see their life wasting away, and I call it a waste because they have potential to really contribute to society.

Then I think about my son...., I have no doubt that he will try it in his journeys, but I would hope that he wouldn't.

Pretty much any toxins that are introduced into the body can't be good for you, nor is most the food that we eat yet we continue to feast on the festering blister of our modern market because it's easier to buy a Big Mac than it is to raise a cow and ground your flower.

youre a wanker dreadknot. you dedecate yourself to fighting for marijuana and yet you back down at the drop of a hat. fight for your right to live in the same way please.
 
We recently had a documentry playing here on the telly and I only caught the last half-hour of it but it certainly changed my opinion on mary-jane. I dont see why cigarettes are legal. They do kill people. But after saying that, one could ponder why cars are legal as well. Its all about money. Although governments these days do care about their people, but they also care about money as well. Just look at the income from cigarette taxes before you even think about mary-jane (I dont like typing it out proper) profits.

I have a feeling that all he cares about is getting stoned. Not about freedom or anything like that.

Wow, I touchtyped all of that without looking at my keyboard. Pat on the back for me!!
