Should cannabis be legalized?

Whoever voted not to legalization is either a dealer, or a cop. Either way, fuck you for voting no.;)

many thanks to our canadian friends who are making hemp clothing.

Thanks from Canada. Sorry we can't sell you any seeds anymore. Wouldn't want to be extradicted.

I too would say that the "no" vote is cops, etc. I'd bet it gives the moderators a good idea just how infiltrated this forum is.

Oh ya, Ralph Nader for President!!!! Go Ralph!!!:thumbsup:

Cannabis is proven to be less adictive than nictonine, and less harmful. There is no confirmed link as of yet between smoking cannabis and developing lung-cancer.

No one has ever died from smoking cannabis.

It costs the U.S. billions of dollars a year to keep nonviolent drug-offenders in prison. The overcrowding of prisons due to nonviolent drug-offenders causes the more serious, violent rapists and murderers to be released sooner, and made more eligible for parole.

If cannabis were legalized today, it could be taxed very heavily and a large government deficit would instantly become a large government surplus.

American tobacco companies will have a cannabis monopoly over the rest of the world.

There will be no more dangerous black markets for weed. Violent crimes related to the sale and/or trafficking of cannabis will be effectively zero.

The sale of tobacco is better controlled than the sale of cannabis. We can assume that the sale of cannabis would then, also be as controlled as the sale of tobacco. A drug dealer usually doesn't have a whole lot to lose. That's why they become drug dealers. When you legalize cannabis and let gas stations and supermarkets sell it, they are going to card hard and make sure only people of age are buying. Why? Because they have a LOT to lose!!

Legalization will bankrupt foreign cannabis farmers. Terrorist organizations that rely on drug sales will be incapacitated.

Nonviolent drug-related arrests are higher in number every year in the U.S. than ALL TYPES OF VIOLENT CRIMES COMBINED!! (e.g. assault, rape, murder, robbery, etc.)

Legalization would let law enforcement concentrate better on more haneous, dangerous crimes than arresting some 16 yearold that didn't know any better.

Laws are supposed to be in the interest of public safety. Cannabis is nore more a threat to public safety than alcohol.

That's a great read, duhrickjames, but what happens to us small time growers - medusers who prefer to grow our own for various reasons? Does it become like the home brew (beer) industry?

Actually, I have to disagree with you on one point. I believe alcohol is far more dangerous to public safety than cannabis. I would never drive after drinking, but no problems driving after smoking.

Well i`m 18 right now, but even if they could make a law about marijuana just like alchohol then i`ll vote for it... So if marijuana was to be alowd for 21 and over.. .then i`m cool with that...
And if your under the influence under age , you get same consequences as alchohol... no biggy...

it should be legalised cause when we are sittin back at home kicking it back and relaxing with a blunt we are not outside getting pissed making trouble
cheers

fuck yes

I know that I wish that I had done less partying and more studying,job skills are paramount..git that out of the way first-then ya can party. However,if the younguns must party-then I'd rather see them toking marijuana,than drinking alcohol.

Have a good one ...

I aggree... Under 18 shouldnt be allowed, but they still shouldnt be arrested.

I started tokin when i was 10, and i have regretted it ever since. I did all my education, but to a poor standard.

LOL I had to post on this one. The answer was obvious but someone made a legalize poll anyway. rock on and vote yes
