I love this question! But i want to hear everyones opinion! Personally, I think it should be legal. But there would have to be an age obviously. It is a natural plant that grows from the ground that is only illegal because it could be used to make paper cheaper, and more efficiently than trees so the paper companies and the people investing in paper made it illegal so they wouldn't lose a;; their money. The government could make so much money off selling the plant for sooo many uses! Not only to get high!
Thread can be found here. Or mod could maybe merge threads and remove my message? =) I've already posted my opinion on the matter in that thread anyhow. Mod says: Eh. For the sake of increasing activity i'll allow this. Other topic locked.
It's going to be legalized eventually. Hopefully not (and probably not) till I'm in college though because they are going to tax the fuck out of it! I'll be able to grow then .
Eh grow it now! Its easy as hell to, Just have to be careful is all. Still would be nice if it was legalized. And here is a great point:
OMG I WANT THAT SHIRT! And ya i agree, it will be legal at some point. And growing it shouldn't be too hard. Just do it in your basement and keep a low profile about it!
ahh growing it is easy as heck. You can treat it like any other house plant or set up lights, make sure you have the right temp and humidity right. bleh i could go on all day about this . I just hope if it is legalized they dont do what there doing with cigarettes and jacking up the price and saying where we can smoke and cant smoke and try to make it illegal.
I'll bet anything they're going to do that. But it's still progress from being illegal. And I'd grow now but my parents would kill me if they found it and I don't have a car to grow somewhere else.
Yeah true. But Im talking years down the road they might try something. Back in the '40s Smoking was the cool thing to do. Now you cant smoke in Bars or in public.(In Michigan anyway..) I hope they dont try to compare Pot to Cigs... And I'd rather they dont Legalize it. The government is just trying to make money off it and there doing a good job. Either way Ima keep smoking down > And a good tip for you if you ever do grow. Dont tell anyone. All it takes is one person to open there mouth and then your in deep shit. Just saying
Well said dochack. It only does take one person to blab about whats in your basement and your basically arrested!!
i love weed and i would be so happy if it was legal. it would remove alot of the stigma. and i wouldnt get treated like a criminal for an admitted vice that i enjoy and consider a part of my life
They should definitely legalize it. I'd go into it deeper but i really don't feel like typing that much.
Marijuana should def be legalized. Its good for so many things and less harmful to your body than a ciggarette. People who have anxiety or other stress related problems could benefit greatly. Glaucoma is something else it helps some kind of way. Weed is also safer to other people around the smoker. Unlike alchohol, it doesnt alter your mind so bad you cant function. While everyone reacts to it differenlty for ythe most part the worste thing that could happen is you act like a totally dumb ass and you fall asleep, or eat alot. Some people actually focus better when there are on marijuana. Yea there are some bad things but the benifits greatly out weigh the risks in my opinion.
Yes, I think it should be legalized. Especially if alcohol is legal, I think marijuana causes much less harm. It's not like it is hard to get in the first place. Besides, I think it would lower the crime rate, and the courts and jails would be less overloaded and crowded with simple marijuana cases. I know too many people who are put in "drug courts" for their first misdemeanor possession charge. These courts are very costly, very strict, and usually result in violations and the person sent to jail. Do they really need to be removed from society, are they really that much of a threat to society? I dont think so. I could go on and on. But one last point, how many people get in fights, kill people under the influence while driving, or create domestic violence situations when they smoke compared to when they drink? I think it's a governmental money issue. No, I'm not a pothead,far from it, but I don't look down on others who do smoke. I'd rather have them smoke than drink.
The problem is that every American pothead is thinking about himself when this question is asked. Should marijuana be legal? Sure! Then I can smoke. Unfortunately, pot-brains can't or won't think about whether or not it's a good thing for the country as a whole. Listening to people complain about this reminds me of grade-school kids whining about doing homework. Of course people don't want any rules. Of course they don't want to be told what to do. Unfortunately, by and large people are idiots who NEED to be told what to do by the select few people who have enough sense not to destroy themselves and the world around them. So personally I think that the government should either put a hard foot down on this stupidity, or give everyone who loves the idea a free one week vacation to Cote d'Ivoire to see what a godless no-rules society is really like. 'Thank you for flying with us. Welcome to your future. Rape and murder to your right. Oh, and rape and murder to your left as well. Try to survive your stay.'
Marijuana is going to increase rape and murder charges? Interesting. Personally, I think that being the best country in the world doesn't guarantee happiness to the individual. Plus, many of the things we abuse as humans is even worse than pot. I really don't believe that the government should be able to control what we do to OURSELVES. Plus, they can make big bucks with this "stupidity."
It should be legalized, regulated, and taxed. Alcohol prohibition didn't work, the same logic follows marijuana prohibition. It just creates more violence and huge profits for illegal organizations.
