Do you think marijuana should be legalized?
 

Its simple, Yes or No

I certainly don't think potheads should be on the public dole in the penal system:glugglug

yes..
less kids smoking it,
less criminals,
and the administrastion would make a lot of :2 cents:

No.

Yes

detoxed, your question should be "Do you think that posession of marijuana (in any amount) should be decriminalised?"

Sorry mate but I think your question is a bit misleading.

Yes. It should be legalized. I don't smoke pot myself (anymore) but I have nothing against it at all. :2 cents:

why should that be my question? thats not what im asking. I'm asking if marijuana should be illegal at all. Not decriminalized, and not just possession.

Why not? Alcohol was legalized and the country is banking too much off of its tax. They should just do the same with pot, and save the money that they use to fight against it, and make a HUGE profit from tax.:thumbsup

yes I do. Just like alcohol is:glugglug

The real reason it is illegal today.

This is what congress was told about marijauna before voting to make it illegal.


"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."

"Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death."

"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."

It's always nice to have informed "opinion" when making laws
:winkwink:

Tis also sad that a high percentage of US citizens are sitting in a cell because they smoked a joint..

And.. if I remember right.. the penalty is still 5 -8 years in Florida and Texas?

And.... even some drugs officers think it's all shit :-)

No, we've got enough cigarette smokers, afterwards we'd still have the smokers plus the weedsmokers.

I think that saying legalisation gives the impression that you want it available at the local convenience store.

Anti-pot activists are good at scaring people into thinking that if we "legalise" marijuana that their kids will soon be buying a 20 pack of joints down at the local kwik-e-mart.

Decriminalisation leaves it to us potheads to sort out amongst ourselves withour fear of prosecution.

yes, i think it should be.

I never tried it, heh

You can smoke weed without tabak as I do :)
I dont smoke cigarettes and I smoke weed clean of tabac

Absolutely. Not just decriminalized, but legalized. I don't smoke it, and frankly I don't care for pot heads. I also don't care for people who wear white slingbacks after Labor Day, but that's beside the point.

With the possible exceptions of lung cancer and DUI (well, and being whacked on the head by a large bail), marijuana doesn't kill. It doesn't make people violent. It doesn't increase crime; its effects on the unborn are debatable.

We KNOW that cigarettes and alchohol kill. Neither has any recognized benefit. Yet, both are legal and socially acceptable. Marijuana has many known and recognized benefits. Yet it is still illegal.

These days there is only one reason (that I can fathom) marijuana isn't legal - there's no one entitiy that stands to benefit from it. NORML is a great organization and I applaud their work, but they're not (as far as I know) driven by profit. With that said, I can't fathom how the US gov has failed to recognize the enormous profits that could be had by legalizing and taxing weed.

Welcome to CrazyWorld (tm, "The Truth")

yes... legalize

As if there aren't weedsmokers now? The next logical point to hit is "if it's legalized, then everyone will start doing it."

1) If heroine were legal, would you do it? The point is, people don't decide to do things simply because they're legal.

2) Show me any time in history when the use of an item increased after its prohibition ended. When alcohol prohibition began, alcohol use increased. When alcohol prohibition ended, alcohol use slowly decreased. Amsterdam did not experience an increase in weedsmokers when they legalized.

Kids can't go down to the store and buy alcohol, but it's a legal intoxicant. However, kids can go to the store and buy NyQuil, a legal intoxicant. Yet they don't. Please notice the lack of social taboos against cold medicine.

I can't believe this topic isn't getting more attention, considering how many members of the 420 club seem to frequent this board.

Oh, wait, yes I can - pot heads don't give a shit about anything. Including their own rights.

Fuck off.

Well, there's ONE who took the bait...

I dont agree that marijuana should be legalized. .It will not help to anyone but to destroyed health and life.this thing still part of prohibitted drugs, anyone who is using it will be addicted so i dont think making this legal would be a great help in the society...

Never mind.

legalized or decriminalized it should be done
smoking marijuana is not considered addictive.

and a ban on that highly addicitve killer alcohol should be put back in place.

I think so, the gov could increase revenue.

I think it should fall under the same regulations with alcohol.

Huh? It already is.

only in holland :Graucho

yes sure... the police wasting too much time catching small dealers instead of real gangsters

No put them all in jail !!! danger for society....

Just kidding :)

I am going to Amsterdam in 1 month.....not only to see nice women !!!

Theres no reason why it shouldnt be available at the local store

LOL marijuana is not addictive

It allready is over here :D

pop is legal in my mind, and has been for over 15 years:2 cents:

Yes and No... the topic has too many issues in order for us to simply lump everything into two categories.

I think those who are over a certain age (around 21) who want to smoke should go through an indepth screening process that establishes their background in various numbers of aspects, and establishes their current lifestyle and occupation + credit scores and job performance.

those who meet the requirements will be able to smoke pot legally, and every 6 months must be re-evaluated to make sure that their pot-use isn't interferring with them being a productive member of society.

although I'd personally never use it because i'm a fitness buff and pot is indeed not exactly positive for your health, i also believe that if people want to use it who're productive in society, should have the choice.

LOL yet any scumbag trailer park trash can go buy as much alcohol as they want, but to smoke pot you have to have a certain credit score? right... thats discrimination and would be illegal

thanks..i love that movie :thumbsup
