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.

    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...

    • Microsoft Weekly: Xbox exclusives are back, big Windows app updates, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here. Microsoft is returning to XBOX exclusives, Windows 11 gets new preview builds, the Low-latency Profile is here, big updates for inbox Windows apps, Patch Tuesday updates, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are now publicly available. Windows 11 users can download KB5094126, which introduces plenty of new features and security updates, including the Low-latency Profile for better performance, shared Bluetooth audio support, and more. Windows 10 users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program can download KB5094127. In addition, Microsoft released new Defender updates for its operating systems. Speaking of Defender, Microsoft will now deliver EDR updates via Microsoft Update for faster security improvements independent of Patch Tuesday updates. Following the release of this month's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft also published new Windows 11 images available in the Media Creation Tool app. Now, you can create bootable USB media for clean Windows 11 installations with the latest releases. Some unfortunate stuff is going on with certain PCs from Dell and HP. Dell acknowledged that the SupportAssist bug causes black screens of death, while HP systems are suffering from Secure Boot update issues and boot loops. Both companies issued official advisories. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 29610.1000 and 28120.2302 This week's "Canary" builds only contain performance improvements and fixes, including the Low-latency mode, which is now available in the Stable channel for all Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 users. Dev Channel Build 26300.8687 Microsoft brought some useful File Explorer changes with this build. You can now open folders in a new tab by middle-clicking them in the address bar.

Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Google has some bad news for those still using MV2-based extensions in Chromium-based browsers, particularly Chrome. The company is now removing flags responsible for Manifest V2-based extensions (uBlock Origin is one of the most popular). However, some browsers resist this change, and Opera issued a statement that it will allow users to continue using MV2 extensions for as long as possible. While Microsoft is still not ready to share new details about MV2 extensions in Microsoft Edge, the company shared important details about the way it will be updating the browser going forward. Now, Microsoft wants to update Edge every two weeks across all platforms instead of the current four-week schedule (only the Extended Stable is exempt from this change). This week, Microsoft confirmed a useful new Teams feature that is coming to the messenger soon. It also detailed all the improvements that made the platform better for users in 2026. However, not all changes are great, as the company is moving ahead with the check-in feature, which many believe will lead to employee monitoring. PowerToys received a feature update this week. Version 0.100 arrived with a big rework for the Shortcut Guide, a new extension gallery for Command Palette, new Dock features, and plenty of other changes.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker reviewed a rather unorthodox device here on Neowin this week. He took for a spin the DWARF mini, the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures. It tracks objects in the sky, has a sun filter, and has a low learning curve. There is also nice build quality and a quite affordable price. Pulasthi Ariyasinghe reviewed 007 First Light. The game turned out to be a satisfying spy adventure in the James Bond universe with great gunplay and combat, impressive crowds, over-the-top action sequences, and more. There are a few quirks here and there, but overall, the game scored high on our scale.
