If it were legal

[LazySmoking420]

Would pot be as fun? Or would it lose alittle appeal knowing it's no longer a forbidin fruit.

[JunkYard]

Why would the legality of it make it less fun? I don't think very many people smoke out of simple rebellion, but because they enjoy it, or because it helps them somehow.

It's a BIG "No" for me, but maybe a "yes" for some of the younger folk who simply do it out of spite.

Prob not too many of those types, tho.. ..


:smokin:

[The Colonel]

it sure would cost more

[ganjah]

If anything it would make the experience better. Imagine not having to worry about getting caught or even put in jail for smokin. It would be easy to get and you'd even be able to pick you own strain.

[187]

it sure would cost more

it would be free. you could grow it in your front lawn.

[mfqr]

It would be way more fun, because I would just smoke it anywhere. No need to hide it... I'd just puff and puff away, anywhere, any time!

[rottenPauL]

yeah in holland most strains like white widow dont cost more than 6euro/g. Something gets pricey when its on the black market. When its legal, it costs as much as the public is capable to afford.

[BizzleLuvin]

it would most definetly lose its special appeal. i enjoy the select group of people that I smoke with knowing we are together in our illegal affairs. its illegality has created an 'exclusive' underground appeal that draws upon he fcertain people willing to smoke despite. i enjoy the thrill of the forbidden fruit and the lifestyle surrounding it. i enjoy the privelages of partaking in such activities. im selfish i suppose
make it legal and it would lose a lot.

[JunkYard]

it would be free. you could grow it in your front lawn.

That's a nice thought, but if it were made legal in the U.S. the gov. would prob put restrictions on growing. My guess is many would still have to grow stealth. :eek:

[ValkyrieAg]

Yes. If it was legal, it would lose any appeal that it may have had.

I would still smoke, but then every tom dick and harry would be stoned and I wouldn't feel so great anymore.

[ganjah]

Thats such a selfish thing to say. You would feel bad because everyone smokes pot now? That is just stupid I'm sorry but I think everyone could use cannabis. The world would be such a peaceful place and maybe you could drive through New York City without hearing one honk!

I can see how someone can enjoy the "forbidden fruit" appeal it has but I just think it is selfish to say that because it is know ok for everyone to do it would some how lose its appeal. I don't really get that at all maybe you could explain.

Lastly if cannabis was legal I bet it would be not allowed in public, so you'd have to smoke in your houses/apartments.

[budsmoker only]

that would not take the fun outta it, i smoke cuz i love to do it, if its legal then that just makes it easier for me cuz then i dont have to worry about where i blaze at... it would be great, maybe one day..

[suhl]

better, because all paranoia i have when high centers around the fear of being caught with it and paying a hefty fine. i think it would be cheaper were it legal. there could be big fields of it, not too hard to grow outdoors. thats my guess though whose to say

[Samwhore]

Depends, it would be a huge relief not worring about cops,

but the adernaline would be gone,

and my NINJA SKILLZ would be useless...

or put to an eviler use hehehehehe

[birdgirl73]

I think it'd be even more fun. You could buy and smoke as much as you could afford. You could try all sorts of different strains much more easily. You could probably persuade your cannabis hold-out friends to try it a lot more easily and smoke up people who wouldn't have touched it with a ten-foot pole when it was illegal. You could just sit on the patio outside Starbucks with your friends and smoke and giggle with nothing to worry about. Sounds like fun to me!

[Nation_1ne]

Legal drugs. "Hello?! Officer, I've just been mugged!", "Ok sir, calm down. What did they take?", "My ounce!!".

I just think that would be so odd, calling the police to retrieve stolen drugs.

Anyway no I don't think it would take the appeal away. I enjoy smoking weed and just find it to be a pain having to worry about it, or looking over my shoulder.

[higher4hockey]

thats just like booze, i remember when i turned 21 people would tell me 'its not nearly as much fun now that its legal for you to drink' bulllllfuckinshit. i never drank so much in my life as i did when i was 21-22 and it was a blast.


i would smoke weed again if it was legal!

[Pride]

^ These idiots didn't know weed was illegal and actually reported stolen weed. They were arrested. lol. (they admitted they were dealers and planned to sell the weed)

forbidden fruit..?
Kinda gives me an idea that in the far future when cannabis becomes legal, a movie(s) will be made that will take place in our time and it would include 2 romantic couples sneaking a smoke. The scene will suggest such forbidden-ness, and sneaky-ness (yes i know my vocabulary sucks) that the audience will be shocked to see such a taboo that is no longer a care at all anymore. It'll be just like watching a movie that was made in the 40s where so many things are taboo that we don't give a damn about today.
Meh, cant really name examples right now. but you get my point.

And about not hiding smoking if it were legalized... you still have to hide it from your parents. Even kids in amsterdam do. You still have to hide it from cops as well as you would with an open case of beer. I'm sure you cannot smoke weed in public (same law goes for amsterdam).

[blizma]

Lol pride.

Even as stupid as it sounds, but I think i like ganje to be totally legal. The thrill of growing it is cool, the thrill of smoking it is cool.

On the otherhand, if it were legal, i could move my greenhouse more in the sun :P i could replace stupid other plants with ganje, have ganje house plants, have atleast 4 in everyroom. Id proudly present my gravity bong in the front room with chronic already ready. That would be cool.. And when im rich through dealing it, it just stuff a big glass statue full of marijuana :D using different strains and colours for each texture.

Why would they make it legal, when Cuban cigars are illegal?

If you look through effects of alcohol and smoking, marijuana is just those two combind (hence the violence alchohol causes)

Wouldnt it be ace to go to the doctors n say "Hey bro, me again, my headace just isnt stopping, i think i need stronger marijuana, and as im ging on holiday, make it 2ounces please" ... dreams..

[benagain]

A lot more fun than now. When I was 15, it might not have been as fun (no feeling of doing something wrong), but I'd def dig it if I could drive home from the store with some and not be worried about going to jail..

[JunkYard]

Why would they make it legal, when Cuban cigars are illegal?


Cuban cigars are illegal because of the trade embargo the U.S. imposed on Cuba. United States embargo against Cuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargo_against_Cuba)

Marijuana is an entirely different beast.. . ..

[187]

i don't think it would really matter except i wouldn't have to be paraniod about cops as much

[GotWake88]

It would be just as fun for me. And it would be cheaper, not more expensive. Look at the liquor costs after prohibition ended. I cannot wait for the day that I can go to the store and buy myself a pack of Marlboro Greens. We could buy by the strains! That would be so awesome. "Yes, I'd like a carton of Purple Haze, please."

I don't do it because it is illegal. I do it because: I enjoy the high, It relieves my back pain, and it cures insomnia.

[2600HERTZ]

Wouldn't affect my enjoyment, I mean being able to sit outside on the park bench and toke up would probably make it even better.

[FreeVenice]

If it were legal I would be High as shit right now. seeing as it isn't, we shouldn't do it.

[kwef]

if herb was legal, i would probably piss myself, and run to Holy Smokes. buy an oz and get high as shit.

[Nation_1ne]

^ These idiots didn't know weed was illegal and actually reported stolen weed. They were arrested. lol. (they admitted they were dealers and planned to sell the weed)

Lol, and I thought it was odd reporting it if it was legal! What a couple of pillocks.

[LIP]

The only people it would be less fun for are those kids who smoke it to look cool and rebellious, and really, they aint true smokers.

I'd probably enjoy it even more, knowing that im allowed to smoke a harmless plant, and theres nothing anyone can do about it.

[2600HERTZ]

YOU...........are a funny man.

[NolesManMike]

I smoke to get high. Pure and simple. It also relaxes me and levels me out sometimes. I'm your stereotypical pothead. Dropped out, lost my job recently, and I'm pretty lazy. But wait. I do this out of choice. I like being lazy. I hate school. But wait. I'm not a complete dumbass either. I'm working on getting my GED. I'm working on getting my drivers license. I also like to just sit around and smoke weed. Where I live, there's not much else to do. I have no interest in putting "engines" together, or any kind of bullcrap like that. Since when did putting engines together become a major accomplishment? If mechanics go on strike, then I'll learn how.

Anyway, if it were legal, I'd be so stoned all the time...




i fucked up my life with weed when i was younger (immature) and now i find myself fixing my mistakes from the past....since these days if learned how to live with weed and making it not my life but just a part of it.

Lip why do you always have to judge people. I'm sure you wouldn't like to be judged. We are smokers as a union, how are we going to get anywhere by stepping on each others toes. . .

:confused:

What the fuck? It's true. That's not judging people. Simple as that.

Smoking weed isnt about being cool, it's about enjoying a plant and respecting it.

If it were legal it wouldnt make it un cool or any cooler than it was before.

It'd only be uncool if people smoked it to look cool in the first place, and anyone who smokes weed to look cool is no true smoker.

omg. . . how did you start smoking. . . did a magic joint land on your lips, of course your going to try it out of popularity, how the hell else does anything like this get out into the world if not by word of mouth and fads?

the only way that makes any kind of reason is if they just hold it like a prop, then there lame. . . even pozers I know smoke it for there own reasons.

[FreeVenice]

Check out what Morrison found. http://boards.cannabis.com/recreational/100969-anyone-see.html#post1223300 It's the U.S. fault that bud is illegal in other countrys. . . So gay. . . damn Government with the clueless citizens. . .

That's the most stupud thing i have heard this year so far.

You have to be having a laugh?

I tried it because i wanted to get stoned, and because i liked the smell, not because everyone else was doing it. That's how children react to those things, "oh, my friends are doing it so i will to"

Playground shit man, maybe you did it because everyone else was, but i didnt, so dont start assuming, makes you look like a bigger moron when your wrong.

[FreeVenice]

I'm sorry I didn't know you were born 40 and nothing around you can ever leave an impression of any kind. . .

hmm. . . " I heard this thing can get you high, this guy I know does it and he thinks it's the best. . . I would like to try that. . . ." I think thats how easy it is for everyone beside I guess you. You must of just discovered this plant one day on the side of the road and said "hay, I bet that will get me stoned!". Your a better man than I, cause someone actually told me about it with a thumbs-up before I actually smoked it myself. Everything in life is a damn fad, if you didn't hear about it how the hell did it come to be in your life?

Lip I watch you be a dick to alot of people so I guess that's why I am about to say this. . . GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!

Lol. Your argument is bullshit.

Like i said, little boy, i didnt start because other people were doing it. I started smoking because i liked the smell, not because i wanted to impress my friends like silly little school kids.

Like i said, dont assume anything.

My head is on my shoulders, not in my ass. Now i just think your even more of an idiot.

[MacWQ33]

My friend was smoking here and there (we were like 14). I simply asked him...what's a better feeling, busting a nut or being high. He said being high....so I smoked with him...and I liked it. I didn't do it to impress him, or because it was 'a fad'...like Lippa said...that's just silly. I wanted to feel the feeling that he said was better than busting a nut..pretty simple.

And for the question...I don't think much would change for me..except it would be cool to buy trees at the store. I wouldn't grow it when I can just go to the store lol...you don't brew you're own alcohol when someone else has already done all the work...you just give them a little cash and you're on your way!

As for the police and the whole getting caught thing...lol...that's the farthest thing from my mind now so it wouldn't effect my mindstate in that respect if it were legal. We always smoke outside in the summer...at the park...walking down the street...noone cares, because it's really not a big deal. Gambling is illegal in most places, but you don't see law enforcement breaking up office football pools...same thing with marijuana...they don't look at it...they look past it. At least around here they do.

[FreeVenice]

It's obvious thats your not understanding what I'm saying. . .

Everything is a fad, there is no way around that. You being on this site makes you part of a fad. Lip aka Tukan Sam. lol . . . isn't even trying to understand. The point that I was makeing in the first place was; No matter what your doing, you can be sure that the power of suggestion was there. If you want to admit to it or not, there is no way that smoking bud was an original idea in your mind, some how, some where, at some point in time, you heard it was worth smoking. If your heard of it in a song, at school, from a family member, or in my case being offered it randomly by someone I knew, there will alway be suggestion. This goes for nearly everything in life. . .

It's possible to do something because someone else has without it being an atempt at being "cool". Like I said it's called "word of mouth", without it society, let alone the toking world, would fail. Simple Economics.

Carry on living in your dream world. You're just trying to justify the reason YOU started. Like i said, your wrong.

Think what you like, people as ****** as you always do.

Never make assumptions about me. Because 99% of the time i can say with certainty you'd be wrong.

Now stop preaching your opinion, it ISNT welcome. :S4: :S4:

Dude your just a prick. Iv'e been saying the same shit since I started. If you would of put you stupid ego aside you would of seen that. your the type of person that alway dissagrees with people just to do it, you an ass-hole thats all there is to it. Look back at some of your posts if you don't remember how much of an ass you really are. I just don't know, I'm not normally like this, but it's bugging the shit out of me that besides not reading what I had to say, your ignoring the common cents of it all. . .


It's O.K. to be wrong sometimes, it doesn't hurt anything but your pride, if you just let your guard down maybe you would be a more understanding person. Your a dick and your probly to old to change that. words don't bother me to much so I guess I will just stop waisting my time with you.

We all know that you just come to this site to talk shit. Every day you just log-in click the New Post link and talk shit about whatever people are doing. . .

I really just don't give a shit. If you want to be better than me fine. Lets say you have a big house, your own field of bud, a 60+ higher IQ, you probly even got a Ferrari in your drive way. YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME IN EVERY WAY, and yet I'm still happy. I got my own place and my own greens, I don't need to get my jollys off of talking shit. . . . . I hope one day we can settle our differances, untill that day have a good one. I'll smoke a bowl of this train wreck just for you.

and it's not an opinion it's a fact.

Good, at last. Im SO glad your giving up. The only prick i can see if you buddy, and im not the only one to say that. These Rep points are like PM's :D


I still think your an idiot, and i still think your wrong.

You have no idea who i am, you dont know me for shit, do you? NO.

So you dont know where i live, or how i live my life? NO.

So you cannot comment on how I started smoking weed.

YOU might have started smokin it to look cool infront of you kiddie friends, but i didnt. When i started none of my friends smoked, not even cigs.


And also, WHERE do i talk shit? Isnt that exactly what YOU'RE doing now.

And this is a childish thing to say;

"Lets say you have a big house, your own field of bud, a 60+ higher IQ, you probly even got a Ferrari in your drive way."

I have a house in Essex, England, and a bolt hole in East London, England.

I havnt got a feild, i have a grow room, and that only has 10 plants in it at any one time, and maybe 3 outside in the summer. I'd hardly call that a feild.

My IQ is higher than 60, but not much ;)

And i dont have a Ferrari. I have a 1.8 Diesel Ford Escort Van, that i use to work.

I dont think of myself as better than you, i just think your an idiot for making all these assumptions when you are wrong.

Now do what you said, and stop wasting your time with me.

Good day sir, maybe one day we WILL be able to settle this, but for now, lets just let it lie.

This hash is for you.

[FreeVenice]

Do you make hash yourself? I found this video on-line on how to make it but it seems like im doing it wrong. . .

Nothing that I wrote was in any way an attack on you, sorry about the name calling, I just was getting all bitchy about the point I was making. What I said was a fact, I didn't start to impress someone. I started cause I was bored with drinking and have you ever tryed to surf drunk. I just noticed alot of hostility out of you in alot of your past posts and didn't understand what point you were trying to make besides the put down. . .


LOL. . . I had a feeling you would go for the last word, but if you are going to rebuddle again, can you go back and read what I said so you can see the point I was making. . . How do you smoke your hash? Vaps. are to expensive around here. . .

Yeah, i make my own hash. In England is easy to find good skunk, but it's extremely hard to find good hash, most of it is dirty soapbar which is about 2 - 5 % THC.

Theres a really old vid on the net from the 70's maybe, i use that method.

I dont like vapes too much, not my thing. I either smoke it in joints, hot knives or bong, but normally i'll smoke it in a joint with a little bit of weed.

Water under the bridge. ;)

:rastasmoke:

[FreeVenice]

Hot knives are cool, lol those homemade vaps. on-line look like crackpipes.

way more fun

cuz you could smoke it anywhere

and nobody could kill your high by making you paranoid about getting caught
