Wait a minute! Everyone should read this!

Hey, I was smoking some great bud just a while ago and i got to thinking...is it possible for people to get together and SUE the government? What if you were able to build a claim that the government ILLEGALLY usurped your right to smoke? I mean think about it, since it's been medically and scientifically proven that cannabis smoke does not effectively harm a human being and also provides beneficial qualities isn't it legally damning for the government for invading on your constitutional rights? People with relatives who've suffered could build a case that they've been wrongfully kept in pain before their death. Also, what about the basis for which it was first made illegal? Jesus christ, cmon everyone! Anslinger's testimony was deliberately falsified and when since ever has that not been full reason to throw cases and rulings out? I think this is the solution for legalisation or at least decriminalisation? What do you guys think? im going to post this in the legal forum too.

huh?

lol, I need to smoke too.

I know what you mean, and I think marijuana laws also infringe on our constitutional right to privacy (privacy in what we do to our own bodies counts too). I would say no but their have been some really weird lawsuits in the past.

The Florida man who succesfully sued a ladder company for not printing "do not use during a hurricane" on the ladder comes to mind.

I think we had the same thread by someone else about a month ago, and it was determined that no we can't.

basically, making marijuana illegal falls into the same category as any other drug, as well as suicide. of course in the real world it's pretty harmless, but so long as most are misinformed, they're just "protecting" us from ourselves

Well you have no constitutional right to smoke..so no, you cant sue. Thats the problem now, everyone tosses around Civil Rights/Constitutional Rights...when most of yall dont know what the fuck yall are talking about.

amen.

just so you know you cant sue the government or the army, it is legally impossible just about, think about it otherwise another country could come up to us and sue us for all were worth because of some stupid nothing, too bad its a good idea

Countries can't sue countries. Countries can have businesses in a country and file a legal suit in the respected courts, but it would be the same as an American company suing the government. Even then, it's hard to sue the government regardless.

And by the time anyone could even try to form a class-action lawsuit the case would've already been thrown out in court. As much as we love weed, there has to be SOME justice when it comes to sticking to laws, otherwise no one would take the legal system seriously.

as long as there are oil companies, pot will be illegal. death to the oil barons!!
