Just curious on all of your thoughts, i have thought about this much and dont understand why it is illegal. looking here youll see that it blames alcohol for many deaths throughout, and the news even speaks of many alcoholic deaths, but i myself haven't heard of any deaths from marijuana. I totally understand keeping crank and such being illegal, but not marijuana, any opinions?

and sorry if this is a *stupid* post, i was just curious of thoughts of people throughout the world. thanks, ladr

here are some other links

HA! i did a debate on this same subject last year for school, I was Pro Legalization, and don't get me started on why it should be legalized. One of my strongest points was, that the government can NOT tax marijuana (U.S. government anyway) like they do to tabacco and other "drugs" (medicinal). The reason being, is that marijuana can just about grow anywhere, but tobacco you need to have all that fertilization crap (you know what i mean, i dont feel like explaining it) and it doesnt grow "just anywhere" anyways.. thats not the whole story to the point, and prolly not the most accurate cuz i forgot a bunch of stuff.. but there are MANY different reasons WHY it should be legalized.

By the way, Bob Marley day was just last weekend (weekend before last) and lemme tell ya what kinda pot sellin and pot smokin there was.. heh :lick: :D

Pot should be legalized bacause, why not, like its worse than cigs or booze? and half the people i know smoke the sh*t.

one bad thing is you CAN smoke yourself stupid, i've seen a couple of kids that have done this, they have trouble reading simple words in the english language, ie. "enough", and have barely any short term memory

I myself don't smoke, but say yes to legalization

there's a difference between legalization and decriminalization. in many parts fo north america it is decriminalized when found in small quantities. by decriminalizing is mean it doesn't count as a felony if you get caught with it. we'll never have legalization without full decriminalization, so i'd say the question is whether it should be considered a felony or not to carry weed (let's not get into the nitty-gritty, such as growing it, selling it, etc). and in that case i'd say hell yeah. i almost always have at least a 5-piece (nickel) on me, even though i only smoke maybe once a week or so.

yeah, i heard of a law of where i live where if i have a small enough amount i only getting a felony, that probably depends on past felonys and probation and all that good stuff, this has just been running through my mind alot since 2 of my best friends (brothers) just got off of probation after a 3 years and his brothers 5 years on probation,ladr

you have to have papers and **** saying that from doctors and i think you have to have glacoma however you spell it...plus some states is legal to smoke if you have glacoma but its still illegal in those state from the federal goverent or the FBI so state might not do anything but FBI will even if you have perscription for it

yesss.. lets all legalize marijuana so the world can be filled with f*cking lamer potheads. Lets destroy our economy by having everyone smoking weed and people get too high to contribute to society. lets create another addiction worse than alcohol, gambling or cigararettes, because the worlds problems due to morons like those are not enough

theres many more points - i dont feel like argueing with potheads tho..

I believe in decriminalization because:

1.US government spends too much money to keep people in jail that are using weed for personal use.

2.I never hear of anyone one killing people cause theyre too high too drive.

3.The Government can make alot of tax money off of the legal sale of weed,just like alcohol,and tabacco.

Dont be so close minded TokerX

What??!!! Marijuana should be legalized? What are you saying?

For chrissakes, things are bad enough with with booze and cigarettes.... blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada...

Actually is should be legalized, a person should have the right to choose if they want to smoke it, if we legalize it, its not like we're pushing it down the thoarts of small children.

im starting to really like this decriminalization idea, cause as i see it, personal use at home is fine, or hanging out with friends and smokin a bowl, but if someone has a pound, and carry's that in their pocket, i suppose their askin to stir up some trouble, and shouldnt be allowed to, ladr

Not every one that smoke cigs are retarted right? Well not all pot smokers are retarted either!

Life's a Bitch,and then you die.So roll a joint and lets get high.If at first you dont succeed,buy yourself some better weed!

those are great points, just a couple things, weed has not been proven to be addictive, but if you smoke an ounce a day your going to be. ladr
