I have mixed feelings about the legalization of marijuana. If it becomes an industrial process, then the plant is being explioted purely for-profit. I do not want to see marijuana in the same hands as the evil corporate shills who grow, sell, and market tobacco. On the other hand, I'd love to see people being able to smoke a relativley harmless drug so they can benefit from all pot has to offer.
Absolutely YES, are you fucking insane???
The black market for ANY type of drug eventually causes violence, and death. Besides, if marijuana were legalized, in the full sense of the world, it would not cost anywhere CLOSE to what it does now in the U.S., and the state gov'ts would still be making shitloads of money. Pot is so expensive because it's scarce. Legalization would change that. Also, it's not illegal in most places to grow your own tobacco if you feel like it, so you could just do that and pay NOTHING. Not to mention you won't have to, uhhhh, worry about being arrested for smoking it.

The industrial use of hemp, and possession of 1 ounce and a few plants would be sufficient. Then no longer would harmless pot smokers be considered criminals for smoking plant matter. It would definately benefit the economy.
Nah, i love weed being underground and if companies did produce it like tobacco then would they add harmfull chemicals?? Most likely.
I love the cannabis culture as it is....i dont want Nestle or the coca cola companies selling me bud/ and if i seen some cheesy comerical to come and buy your bud at walmart, id quit.
You can always grow your own marijuana, that's what's good about it being a natural plant. If it's legal, that's all you need. You can grow whatever you want, buddy.Quote:

And the government would probably make it illegal to grow and distribute without a license and without paying taxes to the government and shit, just like with alcohol.
On the other hand, it is completely intolerable that groups of armed thugs are violently subduing people because of a plant, then kidnapping them, keeping them in cages with violent criminals, and sometimes demanding ransom money for their freedom.
Until government and capitalism are replaced with egalitarian, directly democratic forms of social organization, cannabis producers and the cannabis industry is going to have to suffer extreme hardships. The best we can do is continue the underground cannabis distribution system without government interference, and at the same time fight for our right to do whatever we want with our own bodies.
There no fun in cannabis being illegal. It's a plant. No one can illegalise a plant. A goddamn plant.
Making it legal would benfit everyone.
Espcially us, cos i dont wanna go to prison, and im sure no one else does.
I dont see why they dont do it they could make so much money of it
Honestly, I don't give a shit if people are allowed to grow it, buy in a store. People shouldn't be punished for the possession of any drug. People shouldn't lose their job based on what they do after work. People shouldn't go to jail for it. People shouldn't have to pay for "hurting themselves."
It's a fucked up concept. Which is why marijuana should be legalized.
