Legalize it or not?

[braceysdad]

I'm no smoker or toker anymore but, I say legalize it.

It seems more common and excepted these days.

Then again, so does alot of other things that should be illegal!

 

[minijosh]

I say don't make it legal. Just another drug to put into your system to slow it down. Nothing was put on the Earth to smoke anyways. We humans just take stuff and ruin it.

 

[raytard]

As soon as Blazed quits smoking it; They'll legalize it... :lol:

 

[BGGruff]

Just One of many sources. The point wasn't the source. It was that the gov can and does grow pot with a much higher THC content then you normally find from your dealer on the street.

Yes I know that the gov. grows there own...that's not new info. I grew up on the MS coast and had plenty of friends go to college at Ole Miss who had claimed there was a gov. controlled field right outside of the campus surrounded by very high walls and guarded. I've never seen this place but friends say they have. And yes some claim to have smoked it and says it has a much higher THC content, but what I'm saying is once the gov. got total control over it legally they would turn a good thing into total chit...like most everything else!

So super skunk bud is cheap anywhere?

No kidding...take a look at my location. I'm pretty sure its regularly available here and prob cheap too! Anyways, the whole arguement is timeless just like it was mentioned before, so we could go on and on arguing all day, but I don't think its necessary...I mean I don't even care for the stuff anymore...got a new addiction RC Crawlin!"thumbsup"

Legalize it and tax it cause you never gone stop it. Its not a timeless discussion because its only been illegal for the past 40 years.

Alcohol and Caffeine are abused more then any other 2 drugs put together.


We are not talking about other drugs, we are talking about weed.

A pot head is not going to rob you at gunpoint to get a doobie.
(unless he has pre-existing issues; even then he will probably spend his time scraping his pipe.) :lol:

Seriously though, I think it should be illegal for anyone under 21. The Brain needs to fully develop, and kids have a hard enough time in school as it is...

If, After you are an adult, and you are more educated as to what it is and what it does, then make the decision as to try it or not.

Then, I am sure there would be some sort of tax on it that would benefit all. There are so many things the money could go for, the national debt is not it. Even the pot heads can't fix that mistake.:roll:

I have to go with make it legal. I smoked all the way through college, and some before, had to quit due to getting tested at my job. But point is it never made me skip or drop out of school, I graduated college with 3.8 GPA so I dont buy the "it makes you stupid" crap. And if it was taxed like cigarettes the gov. could make back the money they have lost fighting the drug war in the first year or two probably.

Now I dont agree with making all the drugs legal, coke and meth are extremely unstable drugs and do a lot of damage to your body and your brain; and they do it in a short amount of time. Pot is much better then alcohol; how many times do you hear about a stoner beating someone up? If he starts to get pissed at someone and goes to beat their ***(very rare, and as pointed out already, they are usually predisposed to violent behavior(sp)) all you gotta do is say, "Dude, calm down and have some chips." And the stoner will say, "Dude, wow.. Chips man.... awesome" lol

Anyway, thats my 2 cents..

 

[rockmike]

I say keep it illegal,cause if it were legalized it would cost to much,then i wouldnt be able to afford crawler parts."thumbsup"

 

[ian48065]

People who already do drugs are going to continue to do them whether its legal or not. Tax it, make the money back that the government needs.

For the people that don't do drugs that were thinking about it probably wont end up doing something that is legal because there is no "rush" in doing something illegal like drugs.

If you don't believe me, look at all the underage drinking that goes on.

I think you're right about it being available. Cheap? I have my doubts.
My brother spent the last 20 years in Hawaii. Some of the best weed on earth is grown there. It still wasn't cheap by any means. Not that I bought any, I just priced it.

You can not draw a direct parallel to drinking, we have the technology to quantify how drunk someone is. So if they perform an action we can evaluate how much the alcohol effected the outcome.

I am not sure, if it should be legal or not.

But legalizing it would generate some serious problems.

For example;

Intoxicated driving, if someone is not allowed to drive high, when do they start being high and when are they nolonger high?

The other problem is that pot is not always the same, so if you expect a certain result from joint A but its made with pot B, how do you control that?

It would be like having beer that had no labels and one bottle had 3.5% alcohol and the next bottle was 30%. This make responsible use dificult.

I do understand the case for pot use;

I do agree that sending someone to jail for pot use or selling is just dumb. And that those funds could be used much better for building a park or a ballpark.

Canada has a funny law, smoking in a public hall (Octoberfest) is a $189 finr and smoking pot in the same place is a $79 fine. (I have never received either fine, I do not smoke).

I guess the bottom line is do whatever you want in your house, but I do not want to get killed because some pothead decides he need chips and gets in a car while they are high.

Are you kidding me?! It's Miami for crying out loud!:lol: We got it coming from all directions...We have lil Havanna, Lil Jamaica, Lil Haiti and we are represented by every major country in Central and South America! Not to mention I'm sure there are plenty of locals growin it themselves. As far as cheap goes. I guess its realitive, I mean you get what you pay for right. Oh and I just priced it too, didn't buy any.:lol:

[trickedoutTLT06]

it smells really good, legalize it

 

[HndsWthtShdws]

I say legalize it and tax it. Countries like Holland are making a killing on legalized weed and prostitution. Its a "if you cant beat them join them.......and tax them" mentality.

Car accidents when stoned are so rare I doubt they even have statistics.
On the other hand car accidents while drunk are very high.
I would be willing to bet, that a pothead causing an accident would more likely be from him/her looking down to ash a joint in the ashtray then from them being under the influence, which can happen to a cig smoker as well.
That being said, I still don't think they should legalize it. They also shouldn't have much of a penalty for it either. Maybe it should be treated like LSD was back before the late 60's not legal, nor illegal.

I don't smoke at all, and i really don't care if you smoke weed or whatever, but i don't want to be on a road trip with my family and then get killed by a pothead who decided to drive while he was high. I wouldn't care if they legalized it except i know it will cause a lot more intoxicated driving-related accidents and a lot of innocent people may get injured or killed. If they did legalize it, they should tax the hell out of it, and make it more expensive than it would be if it was illegal. Also i don't think the should waste jail space with potheads, they should just give them one big-*** fine, and if they can't pay it make them do a crap-load of community services.

I voted no.

 

[DISTURBIN' tha PEACE]

Voted yes"thumbsup"

Although I quit 2 months ago, I still don't see the harm it does. Alcohol is much worse & I still drink, go figure.
