Weed...Illegal...WHAT!!!
Who's got a link
im not for legalization
im for decriminalization, and legal availability and hospitals and clinics, for patience of both the physical and mental variety
its currently illegal to grow more then 10 tobbacco plants...and i dont wnat that kind of bullshit to happen to any more plants
theres two things that shall happen before 2015...and thats either salvia will become illegal, or weed will start being less harmful in incrimination
salvia is already illegal in a few states (for those americans that wish to know)
How else could I say fuck you to the man?
Cannabis should be legalized, fuck tax's. Once its legal, Stellar growing everyone!!
Also, they should just legalize it and put all there time focusing on meth labs,gangs, drug wars but nope its all about marijuana because its the highest used drug. Crackheads beyond crackheads smoke marijuana.
Once it's legal it will be cheaper, why doesnt everybody understand this?
"Its cool to be breaking the law" DURRRR Its not cool to pay $10 bucks a gram for pot.
If cannibis were legal I'd be spending more money elsewhere further funding the government machine. Legalized pot would be win/win for everybody.
STOP THE INSANITY!!! Legalise NOW!!!
"whew" I feel better!!!
"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."
Check out the thred "Nasty Problem...Advice?" and then tell say it SHOULD'NT be avialable to any one over 21! or those who are ill!
I know, even with taxes it'd be cheaper than buying from dealers.
I guess it'd be like cigs, about £5 for a 20 pack. of spliffs. or maybe a 10 pack of large spliffs.
the only worry i have is that companies would start to use the radioactive stuff they use to grow tobacoo and the pot would then become abt as bad since it should then be causing cancer... if it was legal id grow my own definatly
edit: assuming they did start to grow it like tobacco
Well, there are at least two sides to most issues, including this one.
There are those in the keep-it-illegal camp. These people are, by and large:
The social conservatives (drugs/abortion/gays are all bad)
The large criminal organizations (they make oodles of money off it now)
The dealers (who'd have a job crisis if it were suddenly legal)
The mislead (who've had misinformation crammed down their throats)
The cops and feds (who have jobs at stake in maintaining a big war on drugs)
The contractors who build prisons (jobs)
The guards at prisons (jobs)
There are the make-it-all-legal folks:
The socially liberal (who don't like gubment telling 'em what to do)
The pot consumers (who don't want to be busted)
The sick or frail (who may need it)
The decriminalize folks seem to be stuck in the middle, unable to fully decide one way or the other. If it's not bad for you, why should it be illegal in any way, shape or form? If it *is* bad for you, why should it be legal in any way, shape or form (except to treat illnesses that are even worse for you)?
When you really look at who PROFITS from it being illegal, it's some government employees (who'd otherwise not have a job), but mostly, it's large criminal organizations, who care only for their bottom line, not the safety of their customers or the efficacy of their product, or anything else. Keeping it illegal keeps these organizations in business.
When big (and violent) criminal organizations want something to be illegal, I really have to ask myself if doing what THEY want is really the best idea. It was the same during Prohibition, but with alcohol. The main reason they cancelled Prohibition is not just that people wanted their booze, which they did, but mainly because people became displeased with all the mob guys spraying bullets around and killing each other and innocent people. That happens now too, over marijuana, although it mainly happens in Mexico and South America. Maybe that's the problem: if the criminal organizations were located HERE, as the mob was during Prohibition, then all the killings would be HERE too, and people'd hate that. Since it happens in other countries, it's easy for us to turn a blind eye...but should we turn a blind eye?
highly doubt that. being mass produced and no longer scarce it will be just as common and plentiful as tabbaco therfore costing relativley the same amount of money (give or take, dont quote me, i know that it would vary) but point in case, if it were legal, it wouldnt be rare, it would be in mass production, therefore price goes down. simple concept.Quote:
