Of course it should be legalized. In my opinion, nothing is a crime unless it consists of one person intentionally harming or restricting the liberty of someone else.

Certainly it should be. But guess what--it would be robbed of all it's mystique :) Never thought about that one, did ya?

Let's consider..

The Counter Culture would fade away. No more 'heros' fighting The Man. No more big profits associated with it so no one would bother to develop it. All that great music, radical politics, the sense of righteous indignation that rises up to fight the Oppression--that would all vanish. Hell, even this board would disappear. People would just loose interest.

Yup, the magical herb would be robbed of all it's glory for sure....and this generation's hippies would become Conservative Religious Republicans just like the baby boomers did.

Couldnt have said it better myself.
I pray (to whoever and whatever) for them to legalize it before I die.
Though it really isnt stopping me, but for the future generations legalize it!

In this respect, I feel I am being fucked over by my government for enforcing such policies that INTENTIONALLY HARM PEOPLE ( with prison sentences) and RESTRICT THE LIBERTY OF MYSELF. Who are the true criminals here?

Cannabis shouldnt have been illegalised in the first place.... its a plant that grows in the ground, you cant ban a plant...

I mean, say it to yourself out loud.

"Illegal Plant".... Sounds like something a 3 year old would say...

I dunno, actully I kina want it to stay illegal.. I have no problem finding it and think of it this way, our government is very greedy and most industries are based on "Vices" like alchol, liqur and the relitivly new one... Gambling "It's A win- Win" I would probley not smoke marijuana that was grown by the government, look at tobacco theres much more addictives then natural tobacco. I think when it's first legalized it would be wonderful, no one giving you shit and cheap bud but eventully our greedy ass government would change that and make it just an other industry.

Yea, would be great to legalize but there'd be two different outcomes:

1. If everyone started growing outside then all females will get pollinated, spreadin like shite n we'd all drown (from the seeds piling up)

2. We decide to grow indoors because of this and burn up electricity which will make the planet warmer -somehow- and melt the ice caps, and then we'd all drown (from the water fool!)

decriminalized. smoke it, grow it, etc... won't go to jail or prison for it...

oh, and the weed in amsterdam is cheap as fuck. i'd think it would be cheap here too if legalized/decriminalized, considering our economy works like theirs does... less risk, less effort, more supply = not as expensive.

1.5+ million deaths per year directly due to the consumption of alcohol, JUST in the US alone... and it's legal (for people 21+).

close to the same amount of deaths per year with cigarettes, just in the US alone (i think it's something like 8 million per year in Russia), and it's legal.

no deaths per year directly due to the smoking/consumption of Cannabis... and it's ILLEGAL.

i don't see why they can't at least decriminalize it. i think it's a political reason... god i fucking hate politicians.

it doesnt matter whether they legalize it, if you think about it seeds are already widely available, and even if they stopped selling supposed 'specialist lighting' any flouro will do, therefore while people are still smokin it, its never going away, as for this poll, what do you think people are gonna answer on a cannabis site... its a bit of a no-brainer...

We all know that there is no reason for it to be illegal. So thus it should be.

But, i currently like the system we have in canada. It's illegal. And it's working great for users. I dont really care too much if it does become legal (except that i would like to grow it as a job)

it's totaly different than in the states

I dont think many people here know what decriminalization means.

it means it's illegal but you wont go to jail when you get caught

you'll get big ass fines.

big ass fines that are much easier for the cops to give out. so more smokers will be harmed

"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it. "

this is one of my favorite Thomas Jefferson quotes...this is what our nation was founded on..Liberty. I think politicians often forget that. An american should have the liberty to partake in activities that do not harm others or society. Marijuana does not come at an expense to society, the drain on society is from the crimes and violence commited because of its prohibition.

LaidZeppelin
04-26-2007, 02:18 AM
for those of you who cant believe why alchohol is legal and not pot....there isnt a strong enough marijuana lobby....norml does probably the most to push for legislative reform...alchohol can remain legal because so much money goes to keeping it legal, if all the drug dealers put there money together to form a strong anti-prohibition weed lobby then we could make some headway.. but that is comparable to the mob pushing for legalization during alchohol prohibition. Thebest thing we can do to make it legal is send money to NORML, since politicians refuse to represent the public interest its up to businesses and lobbies. Could you imagine a weed ad..."WE encourage you to enjoy our fine northern lights, and remember always smoke responsibly" cant wait..

Marijuana has to be legalised or decriminalised at least! On the whole earth ever in history there has been NO and thats exactly zero deaths from it ever! Aspirin, Alcohol, Tobacco, E, Coke and everything else there have been many deaths.

I have already signed many petitions and even contacted Tony Blair to tell him exactly everything - I said to tax it so anyone can buy it from corner shops and stuff but only sales to 18 and over. I told him that we could be able to grow our own stuff so no one can go to dealers to get harder drugs.. clever me! lol

06-27-2007, 10:39 PM
It should be legaliZed (note the "z"), but should also have the same restrictions as cigs and/or alcohol does. And that really doesn't matter to those under 18 or 21, cause just like cigs/alcohol, there's always someone you know that's older who will get it for you. :D

Also, I agree that the govt will hellishly tax weed if it were legal. BUT I firmly believe that the whole government (not just the U.S., but they're the center of it) is corrupt, and they don't care about cannabis legalities since they're too busy fucking up the world. If you don't believe that go to YouTube - Alex Jones - Martial Law 911 (Part 1) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=auR4RumZEnQ) and see what's really happening (especially in NY).

Well anyone who thinks it wont be fun anymore when/if it is legalized shouldnt claim to be a pot head. But I think we should first decriminalize it atleast. I dont think the nation is ready to all out legalize it, but we can atleast stop throwing people in jail for it and branding them criminals and maybe focus on doing that to child molesters rapist and other violent crime comiters. Marijana is Americas #1 cash crop ( I heard this on MSNBC, i know i should go to hell for actualy watching the news but if its on the news in any way be a negative one its one step closer to legalization) so we could cancle out quite a bit of our national depbt by taxing the stuff.

You would change your tune if you got busted for weed.

There still would be a lot of oppression to fight against. The neocons, the war, the Fed and the IRS raping our wallets illegally.

There would still be great weed-inspired music and culture. My parents used to be hippies, and now they are Conservative Religious Republicans, and it has nothing to do with weed being legalized, because it hasn't been yet.

People like NORML are heroes to me. I take legalization of marijuana very seriously. Thousands of people are put in prison every year just for pot. If you went to prison for two years just because you had a pipe in your car when you got pulled over for a tail light out, I am sure you would want it to be legal then.

Especially since you can't get a job when you get out as a "convicted felon."

Legalize. Why would you want it to be just decriminalized? So if you get caught you would still have to pay a fine? What is you reasoning behind decriminalization over legalization? Is it because you think there would be a "fucked up" generation, like Nocturnal Stoner stated? I don't think there would be. I'm pretty sure that in the long-run the usage would stay the same... and yes, there have been studies to determine a possible trend of usage in the future if it were legalized. They all say that the usage might spike for a short period of time, but then decline back to normal, if not lower.

All of you who want it decriminalized: you would rather have cannabis still be in the hands of drug dealers, who could still adulterate it, or sell shitty schwag? Why would you want that? If it was legalized, it would be regulated, and thus there would be quality control.

Many of you might say that it's because it would be taxed. Don't jump to conclusions. Of course it will be taxed, but do you actually think that the price would be higher than it is now? People paying $600 per oz in some parts of the country? You fail to realize that the black market can inflate prices hundreds, if not thousands of times the value of a substance that would otherwise be cheap, even if taxed. Point is, even if it was legalized and taxed heavily, it would still be cheaper than it is now. Not only that, but there wouldn't be a huge regional price difference. Medical Cocaine (yes, it exists) costs $20 per kilo, and this is high quality cocaine. How much does a kilo of high quality cocaine cost on the black market? Do the math. You may argue that cannabis clubs in California charge a shitload of money for their medical bud, but you have to realize that it is not fully legal... it's semi-legal, and the people running it are still risking their freedom.

Decriminalization sucks. The prices would stay the same, which are ridiculous prices at that. There would be no quality control. Cannabis could still be adulterated by assholes. If caught, you'd get a fine and a misdemeanor charge. How is this so much better when compared to full legalization?

Full legalization: The prices would be much lower, even when taxed heavily. There would be quality control, and thus everyone could get very good weed, and there would not be adulterants in the herb. You wouldn't get "caught" for it, thus no fine, and no punishment of any kind. I really don't understand why people would rather have it be decriminalized.

How about legalization with a regulatory system like used with alcohol. How about the freedom to grow this healing herb without being afraid of Big Brother? How about legalization? Come on now, this "decriminalization" concept is bullshit. The real idea behind it is to get it decriminalized first, and then legalized. It's a stepping stone, not a permanent solution.

SMOKEnCHOKE: Oh yeah, that's a real valid reason for decriminalization or keeping it at the status quo. I think you're being sarcastic, but if you aren't, then I feel very sorry for you.

You may argue that cannabis clubs in California charge a shitload of money for their medical bud, but you have to realize that it is not fully legal... it's semi-legal, and the people running it are still risking their freedom.

Decriminalization sucks. The prices would stay the same, which are ridiculous prices at that. There would be no quality control. Cannabis could still be adulterated by assholes. If caught, you'd get a fine and a misdemeanor charge. How is this so much better when compared to full legalization?

Full legalization: The prices would be much lower, even when taxed heavily. There would be quality control, and thus everyone could get very good weed, and there would not be adulterants in the herb. You wouldn't get "caught" for it, thus no fine, and no punishment of any kind. I really don't understand why people would rather have it be decriminalized.

How about legalization with a regulatory system like used with alcohol. How about the freedom to grow this healing herb without being afraid of Big Brother? How about legalization? Come on now, this "decriminalization" concept is bullshit. The real idea behind it is to get it decriminalized first, and then legalized. It's a stepping stone, not a permanent solution.

SMOKEnCHOKE: Oh yeah, that's a real valid reason for decriminalization or keeping it at the status quo. I think you're being sarcastic, but if you aren't, then I feel very sorry for you.



Of course we all want it completely legal - but we've got better chances of it being decriminalised rather than legalised.

Well yes, that is very true. But we're not going to stop at that, are we?

mfqr; My last post was worded to were it didn't make sense so I'm gonna try again.

Decriminalized or legalized either way would do a lot for the cannabis culture. I am amazed at all the 15 year old kids around here who only smoke in front of people to look like a hardass. If you only smoke in front of people you're not a true smoker. If legalized I think it would disassociate all the punks or wannabe gangsta's from cannabis. I don't think they would have interest in it because people would see that normal civilized people smoke it. Maybe it's not like this around your town but that is how it is here.

I think the best way to legalization is to start tearing down the false myths. People state that it is a gateway drug, but it was the last drug that I tried and is now the only one I use. People also, for some unknown reason, think that if you smoke even small amounts it melts your brain and makes you "a useless dumbass." People think they know so much about it and how bad it is before they have even tried it.

I really don't know whether we should legalize it or not because in case u do legalize it, price will go up as our next generation consume more than they can handle and u certainly don't want your surgeon/doctor lighting up a joint right before your surgery.
De-criminalization would be a good start. Not legalization!

Rates of use wouldnt go up - look at the countries that have decrim'd - Holland for example - less hard drugs users and less soft drug users. Also, the price would be alot lower, even with stupid amounts of tax.

I am truly amazed that our governments have not legalized marijuana because it would be a cash cow for them. Unless of course there's more money to be made busting, jailing and fining people. I was thinking how legalization would change our everyday activities. We smoke in the privacy of our homes but it would be cool not to get busted for having a joint hanging out of your pocket. As far as it wouldn't be fun anymore that's f*ing stupid as Lip
said. I for for one would keep chatting and I'm sure there would be more folks to chat with!
What a great pipe dream. I would so thrilled if that were to come true. It would rival the day Richard Nixon resigned. It seems the truth is it has about as much of chance if Bush were to resign. There would be a hell of a party if that were to happen. Chins up you never know.

Certainly it should be. But guess what--it would be robbed of all it's mystique :) Never thought about that one, did ya?

Let's consider..

The Counter Culture would fade away. No more 'heros' fighting The Man. No more big profits associated with it so no one would bother to develop it. All that great music, radical politics, the sense of righteous indignation that rises up to fight the Oppression--that would all vanish. Hell, even this board would disappear. People would just loose interest.

Yup, the magical herb would be robbed of all it's glory for sure....and this generation's hippies would become Conservative Religious Republicans just like the baby boomers did.

They say when the gods curse a man they give him the desires of his heart...lol

I think not.
Hell, a whole new economy would be born!

Cannabis is NOT the root of great music & radical ideas.
There will always be artistic geniuses & progressive thinkers.
There will always be something to fight for & something to sing about.

As I look at my beautiful plants and think about how much time I would spend behind bars for this plant, I think: Fuck yeah it should be legal! There are millions of sick twisted ass folks in this world that should be locked up for heinous crimes against children, but our laws are lax in this area. Didi you hear me? you will spend more time in jail for growing 20 marijuana plants than you will if you rape a 5 yr old child.:wtf: Our(and I use that term loosely) lawmakers and legislatgors turn a blind eye to pedephelia because they enjoy it themselves! and after that abused child grows up they want to smoke some fucking pot to deal with the trauma in their mind,but NOOO thats not allowed in our society!!! I say fuck them all.:mad:
I normally do not curse,excuse me.:(

legalize it........ i don't really care any more, smoked it when it was 'B' smoked it when it was 'C' will smoke it if became 'A'.

I feel like it's kind of a futile fight, what will happen will happen, so long as you support your local dealer, you will get herb......

...oh and if any one comes along with a decent policy....vote for them......

Should cannabis be legalised, im not sure i mean its great tht u can just buy it anywhere if it is, but it will fuck up our generation and the future generation

What do you think?

I figure that it should be legalized with the *SAME* laws, regulations, age restrictions, and of course taxes. Remember that the almighty dollar speaks volumes. Also keep in mind that with alcohol, your legaly allowed to make XX number of gallons of beer and/or wine, etc. The same would apply for marijuana.

In this respect, I feel I am being fucked over by my government for enforcing such policies that INTENTIONALLY HARM PEOPLE ( with prison sentences) and RESTRICT THE LIBERTY OF MYSELF. Who are the true criminals here?

Very good point! :thumbsup:
