Yes, yes, legalize. Tax and regulate it like cigarettes. Alcohol kills way more people and has a much more adverse and effed up effect. Such a shame there are people doing hard time in prison for marijuana. Billary Clinton and George Shrub both smoked the weed.

I find it kinda weird how most people seem to have incredibly bad experiences with marijuana, and also put it on the same level as cocaine. I smoke it almost daily, and I smoke with friends most of the time. As for the impairing your driving thing, I can't say we have ever had a problem. And it's been that way for roughly 2 years now. Marijuana has helped inspire a lot of my creative works, and also introduced me to a lot of people who I now consider very close friends. To put it simply, I guess you could say marijuana has enhanced certain parts of my life. Of course, when it comes to work, I do not use it and won't touch it 8 hours or so before hand. And I'm real sorry for the people who had loses because of this plant, but I personally believe it is just a misunderstood sort of thing. Alcohol is fine with people, as is smoking cigarettes, and yet both of those are worse than smoking marijuana. But things like this don't really surprise me. The world needs to take a look at itself in so many ways. I've also been judged incredibly harshly simply because it was known I smoke marijuana, before people could really get to know me and what I am all about. But hey, life goes on, I'm just following my own path and trying to make what I can.

I don't really care if it gets legalized, it is no difficulty for me getting it anyway, the only reason the government does not legalize it is because they have no idea how much to tax it =P

for example i have trouble sleeping, and when asleep it's so weak that any sound will wake me up, and i usually wake up tired, that's why i quit, and i used to smoke DAILY, I guess it depends on the person, but I'd rather NOT take any chances, it might be fun really, but i think you don't want to experience what i do now, and it's been going on for years

Personally, I think some benefits of legalizing it.

Jails wouldn't be overwhelmed with a drug offenders.

We could put real criminals behind bars. Rather then have overwhelming numbers and having to pay for all the them to stay.

Cops wouldn't have to be arresting more drug dealers then murderers, arsonists and such.

But personally I think if the government were to sell it, and tax it.

They could make a decent revenue, and then use those taxes to pay for things like healthcare or other necessities.

Rather the taxing gas or such.

I only used it a few times, and nor do I regret using it.

But Recently went clean so I could join the air force.

For the record, I just wanted to add that I don't actually like or do Cocaine, it is the most addictive thing ever, if from doing it once I felt like I wanted more then it is obviously a little too good.

I was merely stating that cause bud's cheap (20$ a gram), whereas Cocaine will cost you $300 a gram :p

^ It would be so cool if I could goto the Milkbar and buy Weederettes :p

Wow, and I thought the prices were bad here :|

I thought in Australia that your legally allowed one marijuana plant in your back yard?

I've seen what drugs do to people. I can't support something that ruins lives, IMO. And it's not like weed is even pure anymore. It's loaded with chemicals.

That depends on how it's grown. Most growers try and keep things "organic", or so I hear. There's many types of food that's natural you can give to a pant. I know this, I'm helping my mom with her garden, and no... it's not ganja.

Drugs are a waste of time and a health hazard. Why waste time trying to experience the unnatural states of mind when you could something productive in that time?

Unnatural... waste time... productive... does it really matter? Here today, gone tomorrow.

I have smoked it before, it made me useless and hungry, so I will not be doing it again, however, I know plenty of people that do smoke it, and I could care less either way, a friend of mine who is also HIV Positive with full AIDS, is on a medical prescription for it, and it increased his appetite, which also increase his T-Cell count, to undetectable status, so the Gonja has helped him in great ways, however he smokes a little too much so he cant be quite moronic at times too......

they dont have to legalize it, but atleast decriminalize it, and crime rates in the USA would plummet, I mean have you ever seen a stoned person wanting to kill someone? they are about as threatening as a kitten playing with a ball of yarn. I mean the only crimes that would happen is an increase in peanut butter and aluminum foil theft....

a lot of people call weed a gateway drug... 95% of this is false, Ive known people that hit the heavy stuff first, and ease into weed from there because they couldnt afford the outrageous prices of crack, though illegal atleast pot is cheaper than cocaine.

I voted. Not sure the stuff should even be classed as a plant as it's so damn strong. Wouldn't use it again. Not sure about it's legal status anyhow.

Probably too dangerous to decrim it cause of the associated criminal elements doing other stuff.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
