[Zoosh]

I read Johnny Depp has smoked it.
And a few of our member's parliament have admitted to it.

[Dazed4now]

johnny depp has done alot more than smoked pot ;)

[radical edward]

pierce brosnan does.

[junior420]

billie joe armstrong... (green day)

[birdgirl73]

I saw once in an interview that Johnny Carson said he tried it. He actually said this once on his show, too.

[420mory]

Famous people that smoke weed? ofcourse Jesus was a big pothead.

[LIP]

Russle Brand has also smoked weed.

Tbh, theres way too many people to list, SO many people have or still do smoke it, you'd think the government would just realise that no ones died yet, so why is it still illegal.

I thought drugs were illegal because they're dangerous, but everyone knows, incuding the governments, that weed isnt harmful.

When will they realise that their idiots, and people mock them.

[Dutch Masta]

Almost every single one of these names have admited to smoking cannabis.

If all these famous people do it, including presidents, why is it still illegal. If a presidant can do something, why cant we?

There is an abundance of information as to why marijuana is illegal. Use google, check my post history, anything..

Just because a large amount of people do it, doesen't justify it being legal.

If I compiled a list of every person that has ever exceeded the speed limit (ie: every driver who has ever driven on a highway before) it would basically consist of every person known to man. Speeding is still illegal.

I break the law every single day by smoking pot and driving over the speed limit, and sometimes a combination of the two. All something being illegal means to me is to use your best judgement. Unfortunately, people can't control themselves and their actions since the beginning of time.. and thats why things need to be illegal. Before there were "laws", why do you think religions were started? The world needed a way to control society, and the understanding of a superior being judging your actions and determining your fate or afterlife(s) was just a perfect idea, and everyone believed it and it worked for a really long time, and still currently works to a lesser degree. Law today works the same way. Police enforcement work to control and regulate society.

There is a LOT of crime involved with Marijuana. A lot of you just don't live in the areas to experience it on a daily basis, so you can't understand where the justifications are coming from.

[hymnforthesmoked]

Bullshit. The reason weed is illegal is not because people cannot control themselves. It's because it is currently more profitable for our government if it is banned. Religion, in my opinion, is less a guideline and more a way of manipulating us. The dirty pigs at the top of this plutocracy don't pass laws for OUR own good: the pass them for THEY'RE own good.

[hymnforthesmoked]

Although there may be alot of crime revolving around weed, what would happen if we legalized it? ALL that crime would go away.

I didn't say that the reason weed is illegal is because people can not control themselves.. I said the reason we needed laws, or some sort of regulation over society in the first place, is because people can not control themselves. Back then, there was no consequential thought given to killing or stealing. Thus, my reference to religion and how this began a concept that evolved in the beginning of time as a way to regulate society. The reason weed is illegal is because it got mixed up in the flawed society regulators, the government.

What would happen if we legalized it??

Industries would take over it and it would be government regulated! Marijuana would go the same way with tobacco, and rolled up with other harmful and addictive chemicals and sold at extremely high costs due to supply and demand, the current basis of our economy incase anyone didn't know allready. That would suck.

:eek:

:eek:

While it would be marketed, it probably won't get any addictive chemicals added to it. Tobacco is naturally addictive because of its nicotine. Marijuana has no such chemical. If what you're saying is true, how come our soft drinks (example) don't have added nicotine to make them addictive. We can't keep weed illegal because of what people may market it with. Tobacco has many chemicals such as pestisides. Marijuana will not have these because it naturally needs no such repelent. Even if they do add something to it, considering all the other disgusting biproducts and shit we already consume it won't make much difference. Also, there will probably be an "organic marijuana" if it DOES get chemical additives.

Tobacco industries have done everything in their power in order to expand their business without the slightest disregard for health. They add completely unnatural and absolutely ridiculous chemicals to cigarettes that are not related to pure tobacco in any way. This way, people become addicted and they make more money. Coca Cola contained high amounts of caffeine and cocaine before they werent allowed to.. Which is why everything is now based upon the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Industries are all about money, and will do anything in order to make it. Do you have any idea how desireable legal Marijuana would be? People use it enough now that its illegal, the desire would rise even more once it were made legal and acceptable. Anything that would grow that big would be ran by huge industries. Alcohol went the same way. Alcohol and Tobacco industries are enough to worry about without adding another form of legal intoxication, while the other two have caused more than enough problems.

Weed is just something I never want to be associated with all that bullshit.

[hymnforthesmoked]

Yes, industries are definetly all about making money, but that's capitalism. It's wrong to outlaw something just because there is a danger it will get fucked up. There will always be home-grown marijuana (just like organic apples, etc). I highly doubt someone will hope to fill marijuana with addictive chemicals, because of the fear that people won't use it. Would you use addictive marijuana? I sure as hell won't. I can only see good things in legalizing. I know we live in completely different cultures, but hell, look at Holland. Does the weed there have addictive substances added? What about Jamaica? No. So why American? One of the main reasons pot is so attractive is that it ISN'T ADDICTIVE. A corporation cannot possibly take an entire plant and change it completely. If people don't want to get the chemicals then they will simply do what we do now.

the govenment wont legalize marijuana beacause they cant regulate something everyone can grow in thier back yard so the profit for them is prohibition there is no profit for legalization..... so whats the big deal i havent been out of pot for over 30 yrs legal or not. it is readily avaliable

[Boo360]

There is an abundance of information as to why marijuana is illegal. Use google, check my post history, anything..

Just because a large amount of people do it, doesen't justify it being legal.

If I compiled a list of every person that has ever exceeded the speed limit (ie: every driver who has ever driven on a highway before) it would basically consist of every person known to man. Speeding is still illegal.

I break the law every single day by smoking pot and driving over the speed limit, and sometimes a combination of the two. All something being illegal means to me is to use your best judgement. Unfortunately, people can't control themselves and their actions since the beginning of time.. and thats why things need to be illegal. Before there were "laws", why do you think religions were started? The world needed a way to control society, and the understanding of a superior being judging your actions and determining your fate or afterlife(s) was just a perfect idea, and everyone believed it and it worked for a really long time, and still currently works to a lesser degree. Law today works the same way. Police enforcement work to control and regulate society.

There is a LOT of crime involved with Marijuana. A lot of you just don't live in the areas to experience it on a daily basis, so you can't understand where the justifications are coming from.

...There couldn't be a lot of crime involved in Marijuana if it was legal. ;) Some people tell me 'Well people are killed over it everyday' Yes thats because people dont want to go to jail, if it was legal nobody would be killed!!!

The reason Pot is Illegal is because the government can't make any money off it (those greedy bastards) and plus that i forgot who said but "making cannabis Illegal has done more damage than the plant every could have" So in conclusion our government makes a huge onslaught on pot growers yet opens methadone/needle clinics... Go figure.... It doesn't make any difference because even though it's Ilegal we still smoke it anyway... AND WHO THE FUCK IS THE GOVERNMENT TO SAY !GOD! IS WRONG?

I know seven year olds that can defend their arguments better than that. Come on, you average 27 posts a day here, you should at least have enough information and experience to respond with an intellegent argument rather than throwing a fit.

You said Cannabis needs absolutely no regulation. Maybe for you, but you are not the only person who smokes pot in this world. Cannabis obviously needs some form of regulation. Do you think young kids should be able to walk into a store and purchase as much weed as they want? That would cause even more problems.

The problem is coming up with a perfect plan for regulating marijuana. Its not as easy as you think, and its certainly much easier for the government to just make it illegal. I'm hoping for some changes, but to simply say that Cannabis needs no regulation whatsoever is just ridiculous when you actually analyze it. I don't think these changes are going to come for a while, since society still looks down upon the drug for the most part. Once the world becomes more educated, it will become more accepted, and then we can start making changes. We are simply in a minority now, and thats why there will be no progress made.

[hymnforthesmoked]

The reason marijuana is still illegal is not because they wouldn't make any money (they could easily tax it). It's because various corporations such as the alcohol corporations are paying the government to keep it illegal. If marijuana is legalized, then people won't drink near as much alcohol, thus, for alcohol to keep getting lots of money, they must sway the government on certain issues. Nowadays the government doesn't control the government, the corporations control the government. Hell, the heads of the corporations ARE the most rich people in the world.

next thing someone will interbreed tobacco and weed and make it addictive. although it could be really good....:p

if weed got legalized it most probably would severly lower the incomes of alcohol and tobacco companies, true dat. there are no weed companies that i know of, that sell pre rolled joints internationally. if like it if there were one tho.:pimp:

It needs to be legalized like alchohol and cigarettes, which already works as well as can be expected. It needs to be kept from children, just like alchohol and cigarettes. It needs to be reclassified to Schedule 2 from Schedule 1 so it can be used and researched medically. It needs to be legalized for industrial hemp so we can drive on it.

This is your brain. This is your brain on nanny state prohibition. Any questions?

[klonopin]

[Dutch Masta]

It needs to be kept from children, just like alchohol and cigarettes.


Alcohol and Cigarettes are just as easily available as weed is, despite the fact that weed is illegal. If it were to become legal, it would be even more easily available to our kids. Age restrictions are uneffective since nobody really has any problems obtaining cigarettes or alcohol now. What makes you think it would be any different for weed?

Just another reason why legalization will simply never happen, since there is no effective way for it to work. Most parents dont want their kids smoking pot, and the only thing that really even comes close to preventing them from it, is the fact that it is illegal. So thats why its going to stay that way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it just as easy for someone to grow tobacco if not easier, than it is to grow cannabis. There's clearly a deeper reason as to why it is illegal.

[newactivist]

LOL, Dutch Masta you and I will have to agree to disagree. Do you honestly believe that marijuana being illegal is the only thing keeping a lid on young people smoking weed? My contention is that it is the fact that it is illegal that makes them try it! As well as the fact that it is popularized through the media, so that all the "cool" people do and all the "assholes" don't. It was for a rebellious teenage me, it was for my friends. Besides, where did you get any sort of impression that the law has prevented youth from using it? The law doesn't stop them, it punishes them for it after the fact, if they get caught, in a way that isn't even effective at keeping them from using it again.

Maybe it's just that you have lived in Mayberry with Andy. You are aware of how widespread marijuana is in our schools, don't you? In every student survey done it was the most widely available drug of all, more accessible than alcohol or cigarettes even. How in God's name could it POSSIBLY get more widespread than it is now?

I understand, share and respect your desire to protect our youth from harm. However, there are wiser ways, and more effective ways, to keep them from it than the obviously failed attempt of using law enforcement as that answer. Law enforcement can only be part of the answer, not the end all.

As an example, if we did random school drug testing in a way that meant every student would receive at least two a school year it would give students a real reason to say no. If anyone gets popped then it should be brought to their parentâ??s attention so they may be given a chance to fix the problem without the child getting caught up in the system. If they get popped a second time then allow law enforcement to get involved strictly to find the source of the drugs that are ending up in the school and shut it down, not create more problems for the child than necessary. This will force drugs dealers to be VERY leery about selling to children! The only time it should affect the child is if they are in such a bad home that it is necessary to take them for their own good.

Ideas like this are the only truly effective ways to shut down school drug use. In this way we could ensure that our children are drug free until they are 18 or older, thereby creating a "clear" space in our society to work from. However, I still hold my position that it should be legal for adults. Marijuana is a relatively harmless recreational drug and should not have such a stigma attached to it. Also, I think you would be unpleasantly shocked to find that the most commonly used drugs by young adults is getting to be legal prescription drugs like Oxy, not marijuana. Compared to that marijuana is the least of our problems.

Now, based on the way you responded to LIP up there you seem to be under the impression that potheads are stupid and we are reinforcing a stereotype when we misspell words and don't organize our thoughts for debate very well. Yet here I am, an everyday smoker that started at 13yrs old, blowing your arguments out of the water. Yes, it is important to have good grammar, spelling and punctuation so that people will respect what you have to say. However, it is not indicative of marijuana but the current state of affairs in our school system.

Maybe you should be a little less arrogant towards people. Pride is a sin, you know.


rekoms htlaets , absolutely right. There are many different interests out there with a lot to lose if it becomes legal again. All of them have political clout; all of them have never been shy about using it. I'm not a conspiracy nut by any means but Jack Herer makes some very intriguing points.

Nowhere in any of my posts did I state that it being illegal is the only thing preventing young people from smoking Marijuana. I completely agree that it being illegal creates desire and I even remember addressing that in several of my posts here. I simply stated that tobacco and alcohol are legal with an age restriction, and kids still have no problems getting either. I said that the only thing even close to prevention is the fact that it is illegal. I didn't say that it being illegal prevents the use of it in reality, but unfortunately the people in charge can't think up anything else.


Maybe it's just that you have lived in Mayberry with Andy. You are aware of how widespread marijuana is in our schools, don't you? In every student survey done it was the most widely available drug of all, more accessible than alcohol or cigarettes even. How in God's name could it POSSIBLY get more widespread than it is now?

Woah woah.. you are completely misunderstanding what I am saying. I didn't imply in any way that our current law enforcement has effective methods preventing our youth from smoking Marijuana.. I responded to another person who said it should be kept from kids just like alcohol and cigarettes, to state that weed would be just as, if not easier to get a hold of this way.

Now, I do certainly feel that it being legal will lead to even more widespread use. Why? Because whenever I ask non-smokers why they are opposed to it, the answer usually ends up something like this: "its illegal! they wouldnt just make it illegal for no reason" and they are usually under the impression that it is not only detrimental to your health, but that it is also highly addictive.

Once it is made legal, it would be more accepted, and misinformation like that would not be going around much longer.


As an example, if we did random school drug testing in a way that meant every student would receive at least two a school year it would give students a real reason to say no.

Random drug testing would indeed be extremely effective. But the entire method of eliminating marijuana from youth culture would be pretty harsh.

The way I responded to LIP had nothing to do with any of that. It had everything to do with him stating that that we need no regulation for cannabis at all. Where are you getting the impression that I was addressing his grammar, spelling, or punctuation? .. at all?

[dank ass nugs]

The only problems with weed happen when someone is selling or buying thats when people get shot and robbed. That wouldn't happen if you could walk into the nearst Bp and pick up a pack of 20 premium rolled joints for 4 0r 5 bucks. but if weed is legalized the large companies making it will put in the worst possible weed. And as far as alcohol companies not wanting it legal thats bull because people would still drink and i think its 85% of alcohol thats drunk by alcoholics and people would still want to have alcohol because if you have 1 to 2 drinks a day you live Longer. Like cannibis has been proven many times over when not abused it has healthy benefits. And as far as kids cant get weed cause it's illegal thats not true infact where i live its EASIER for kids to get weed than cigs because there are other kids who sell it to them who buy from irresponsible people,steal from there parents. And as far as companies adding addictive substances i think that would make no sence except for more people NOT smoking it and growing there own but if the companies keep it real and strong they will sell it like hot cakes. There's people who have been smoking since the 60's and they dont plan on quiting any time soon cause of the EFFECT not an addiction ( even though you can start to crave to effect ). And most of these kids who smoke weed think its cause it makes them "cool" even though they don't even know how to inhale.

That's a strong reason why I believe it needs to be legal.

To me it is though. I would rather live 18 more years of my life than my neighbor..jack just because he started every day with a drink, but I broke this filthy fucking law of smoking a joint of a morning to start my day.

Liberty: freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, hampering conditions, etc.; power or right of doing, thinking, speaking, etc., according to choice.


According to choice...I should have the choice to buy and smoke cigarettes, inflicting damage to my body and health, or I can grow a few marijuana plants and smoke the flowers from it and just get a nice feeling that makes me feel better. I like the second one better. By growing and smoking marijuana, you're not going to cause harm to anyone or anything else...except for your kitchen pantry.

Choice to manufacture dope...wow. So many people do this, but they can sometimes blow themselves and others up because this is dangerous. That's a good law. It puts lives at risk.

They're ruining our friends' lives and others around us because smoking marijuana is for some reason a stinking crime in this country..This must stop.

While it would be marketed, it probably won't get any addictive chemicals added to it. Tobacco is naturally addictive because of its nicotine. Marijuana has no such chemical. If what you're saying is true, how come our soft drinks (example) don't have added nicotine to make them addictive. We can't keep weed illegal because of what people may market it with. Tobacco has many chemicals such as pestisides. Marijuana will not have these because it naturally needs no such repelent. Even if they do add something to it, considering all the other disgusting biproducts and shit we already consume it won't make much difference. Also, there will probably be an "organic marijuana" if it DOES get chemical additives.


Wrong, Coca Cola has alway and will probably always have cocaine in it. They take out the part that gets you high but the coca plant is still an ingredient in coca cola and even though you dont get high there still might be somewhat addictive properties in coke.

One of the San Francisco DJ's who does movie "junkets"...interviews, essentially...said all Harrison wants on the set is an ounce of weed, a high-speed internet connection...and to be left alone. Don't know if it's true, but if so, you gotta like that contract!

[good ol daze]

Wow, someone at work just forwarded me this. Spooky coincidence.

Weed in the 70s WAS good...it had to be to produce this!

here's the "Wish Lucas could forget" Star Wars Holiday special, apparently in its entirety. Happy Holidays!

Wait, what's this about the government not being able to tax it, why?

Because people would be able to grow it in their homes.

But that's no reason.

The government dont want to look like the idiots they really are.

They've been feeding us all this propaganda and if they legalised it they'd have to explain to the country they were lying the whole time, and people wouldnt trust them anymore. People wouldnt vote. The government would go tits up.

They just dont want to admit they're wrong.

There is an abundance of information as to why marijuana is illegal. Use google, check my post history, anything..

Just because a large amount of people do it, doesen't justify it being legal.

If I compiled a list of every person that has ever exceeded the speed limit (ie: every driver who has ever driven on a highway before) it would basically consist of every person known to man. Speeding is still illegal.

I break the law every single day by smoking pot and driving over the speed limit, and sometimes a combination of the two. All something being illegal means to me is to use your best judgement. Unfortunately, people can't control themselves and their actions since the beginning of time.. and thats why things need to be illegal. Before there were "laws", why do you think religions were started? The world needed a way to control society, and the understanding of a superior being judging your actions and determining your fate or afterlife(s) was just a perfect idea, and everyone believed it and it worked for a really long time, and still currently works to a lesser degree. Law today works the same way. Police enforcement work to control and regulate society.

There is a LOT of crime involved with Marijuana. A lot of you just don't live in the areas to experience it on a daily basis, so you can't understand where the justifications are coming from.



The reason pot became illegal in the first place was because of the greed of William Randolph Hearst.

Before he came along hemp was the most used plant in the world, for fuel, paper & most medicines were derived from it.

There is NO evidence of it being harmful in any way!!

The ONLY reason there is ANY crime involving marijuana is because of prohibition. Do you see the underworld selling alcohol & major crimes associated with it, like there is with marijuana.

NO you don't because they legalized it & regulated it.

REMOVE the prohibition & remove the CRIME element, makes sense.

Read this article & you'll see how they manipulated the laws in their favor, not for the public's better interests.

How Marijuana Became Illegal (http://www.ozarkia.net/bill/pot/blunderof37.html)

Here in Canada our laws already fell in 2001, but they are covering that up.

[ummmwelll]

the crime happens because certain poeple wanna rob and rip ppl off. and when they do someone wants revenge. But if it were sold in smoke shops that would almost eliminate that problem. Now compare that to alchohol.
in repsone to the quote in the post above me :jointsmile::thumbsup:

[CannabisCooper]

Gucci mane!

[KushyKelsey]

regarding the idea that the government profits off of prohibition: negative. the government spends on average about 15 billion dollars a year on jailing people for possession, trafficking, possession of paraphernalia, and other marijuana related crimes. THIS IS 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON EDUCATION ANNUALLY. if marijuana WERE legalized the benefits would not be limited to people who smoke weed. it would not only save the US billions of dollars each year but it would also help lessen the problem of overcrowding in jails. in some parts of the country such as california, marijuana has actually also lessened the effect of the recession by replacing failing industries such as timber. marijuana is basically illegal because of the lack of true understanding of it's affects and a big part of that is due to how differently it affects certain people. some people become lazy. some become violent. some become apathetic. these are the most common stereotypes of a marijuana smoker. this list obviously proves there are exceptions, and many of them, i consider myself one.


some other great folks left out on this list are ken kesey (author, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), tom wolfe (author, The Bonfire Vanities), AND OBVIOUSLY MICHAEL PHELPS.
