Would legalising weed really be better??

Don't get your panties in a knot for me having an opinion.

Okay, prices may go down, but so will quality. More taxes, less quality. MY 2cents.

Try to reply in a mature manner instead of, "you're stupid" :rolleyes:

hahaha so now your changing your mind?? lol are your "opinions"(haha) even stable? your a mess man lol.

I'm not entirely sure that would be a real big problem. With all the hippies who smoke pot, I'm sure there would be a big market for organic all-natural weed without any additives and without the radioactive fertilizers.

I think the best thing would for it to be decriminilized.. then the government can suck our cocks (for those of us who have them), and we can keep toking, only downfall is a ticket.. just like a speedin ticket, no jail time, no bullshit..

ya i can see taht but its just my worry.... if they do then u cant stop them and then you cant go back

Yeah, that's a danger if independent growers aren't allowed to operate and corporations gain complete control of the market. Which is why simple legalization or decriminalization isn't enough. We don't just need to just get the police off our backs; we need to fight for the complete freedom of everybody to possess, use, cultivate and distribute the plant.

thats why decriminilization is so good.. it wont make it legal, it'd still be illegal, but not as harshly illegal.. just a fine

I don't get why so many people would be content with decriminalization. It's not good enough. Nobody should ever be punished for growing a plant or altering their state of consciousness. Not only is keeping it illegal an insult to personal freedom, it helps sustain the social stigmatization of pot smokers, and it provides the justification for returning to the current state of affairs (or worse) at a later point in time. I don't care if the punishment is a small fine or execution, it's still wrong and nothing can change that.

i agree (remember i said this ;) )

however the downside with this thinking is that then you need to also legalize (or u mtite not and be a hipocrit) some things that i think are not good for ppl at all (ie meth) i no u can say that its self control and not the drug but thats not my point nor a very good thing to say since its not that true... but anyway i dont want to have tons of meth heads or heroin addicts running abt... but i guess ud have to put ur faith in taht ppl will be smart enof to not do things like that... well not to not do them but to not get addicted (as in only do it every now and then)

i relize now taht i didnt rlly have a point and i dont no if that made sence or even if my stance was consistant... but i felt like saying it

i think it should be legalised, but i think companies growing it would put shit in the spliffs to get you hooked, like they did with cigarettes.the companies dont care about the buyers, they care about the money which is why when cannabis is legalized (which it soon will be, in canada at least) coffee shops should be opened for the public. yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah i can just see it now... its so beautiful
