Do you think weed will ever be legal?

In the US? Yes most def. Within our lifetimes for sure. Who knows if I will still be puffing at that point, but I will always support legalization.

Actually I don't feel nationwide decrim is to far off. After that its only a small step away.

It really depends on how this next election goes. Vote Democratic. All of the Candidates Dem candidates have a really good stance when it comes to Marijuana. All have stated that they would never use federal troops/powers to arrest MM users. This is a step in the right direction.

Candidates Positions on Medical Marijuana

Biden has the lowest with a B+, most have A ratings.

Legalization will be a process, it won't happen over night.

Essentially, most Americans are realizing its a waste of resources. My city has major issues regarding crack cocaine use, simply put most police feel its a waste of time to arrest marijuana users, they may dump out your bag, but they won't arrest you. I haven't heard of a marijuana possesion charge in my city for years. I've been puffing for almost a decade.

It won't ever be sold like cigs, more closer to the Cali system, without the perscription requirement.

Think about it, more and more Americans smoke marijuana at least once in there lifetimes. Even if some don't enjoy it, how many feel it should be illegal after smoking it. More and more Political candidates are being frank about their usage, Barack Obama in particular is willing to take an honest look at marijuana.

Even nationwide decrim would be a victory. Many American metro areas are going this way already. Of course I'd like to see full legalization, but if its decrimned nation wide I would be happy.

Also if it was made legal, the Cartels and Mafias that bring it in would become those most powerful people on earth.

We, as free people, who have freedom, should have the CHOICE to put whatever we choose in our bodies. Now if it DOES fuck you up too much, like alcohol, their will be laws in accordance. Maybe a DWS....driving while stoned. lol But, I want to be able to do whatever the fuck I want to do to my body without the government placing me in jail. Isn't that suppose to be freedom?

Also, the 2 things that have little medical benefit and ARE legal are alcohol and cigarettes. Although they have some medical benefit, marijuana has 100 times that. If you'd like to know most of its benefits Storm Crow made a very useful post of all her marijuana related information.

Here's the link to her thread. Sit there for a couple of days and read it all. EVERYTHING.

i sure as hell hope not,,,otherwise id lose alot of money:D

itd be cool, but like you guys said, too many politic/corporate bullshit. the herb is too free and liberating for the powers at be to legalize it....people might actually think for themselves instead of echoing the monotone feed of media/society.

im gonna go with the rouge..maybe someday when all of the old bullshit dies off and changes. then again at that point there might not be civilization..hard 2 say man:confused:

donny:rhinoceros:

i think one day it will and the government could make so much money with the taxes on it and besides how many stoners go and rob banks only thing they r robbing is the cubbords maybe a vending machine look at all the deaths and crimes caused from alchohol and ciggerettes are legal and 3600 ppl die a die from them no reported death caused from weed its an herb its put on this planet for a reason and also our trusty 1st president used to grow it legalize it america its pointless having it illegal worry about the worse drugs not some stoner on his couch ripping a bong and eating doritos

FUCK SPEED.........SMOKE WEED!! =)

i i think it will be legalized. it's to a point where just about everyone has tried it. there are politicians are publicly against it, but they do it in the "closet". drug testing can be dodged easy with other drugs. thc lasts so long. that is what the drug tests test for. my point in that is to many people own investments in the manufacturing companies that manyfacture the tests. legalization would put those companies out of bidness'. that's just one obsticle. the culture is growing rapidly. growing is enjoyable. tasting different strainds is hitting like wine tasting is to wine conisures. head shops, cafes, hemp products, accessory manufacturing, these are things that i think will be realized as big bidness' when it catches on. i think it will be at large real sone.

sorry for the babbling and spelling

yes i do beleive it will be legalized
it is jus like porbiation and i am impressed that our freedom fighter have not drawn blood in time after waiting it out we can be free of discrimination.

i thjought alot about it after mlk day people no longer judge as much from religon skin or watever but now they judge by your choices or beliefs its a real shame

Wholeheartedly agreed! :jointsmile:

No chance..

Sup dudes. I see this thread is a few months old. Sorry if I bring it up.

I vote yes. The legalization of marijuana would have to be step by step. First--Will be the decriminalized of marijuana. Such people as Obama and Edwards have stated in there candidacy. Then, when seen no harm done and unfortunately, ignorant people still need more tests about marijuana potential. Sooner or later (Hopefully in my lifetime) will be legalized. :jointsmile:

I vote yes. Watching this from the late 60's until today it's moved toward legalization inch by inch the entire time.

All it would take right now is for smokers to represent a solid block of voters large enough to help get a politician elected.

Say, if 25 million smokers banded into something like the "cannabis league of voters" and represented campaign funds and 25 million solid votes to swing behind candidate pot would be legal real fast.

Right now here in Ri they are considering raising the legal Poisson amount. However, i believe it will take some time before it is entirely legal

I agree with jimmy. I don't see it being legal at the federal level in my lifetime :( The general population is so fucking dumb.

Marijuana will most definitely become legal when people realize all the lies that have been to told them about it. A lot of people want it legalized regulated and taxed like alcohol or tobacco, the people are ahead pf the government.

Generally speaking; they're not fond of the government telling them what they can do. It all relates back to the old days when settlers moved out here for mining, religious persecution, and farming cheap land.

Yes, I agree with PatrickHenry. :greenthumb:

I thought it was legal already? Yah give it like 20 years in the U.S.A, and all these old Life-term senate people will die off with their old ways and people who are 20-30 now will be in office. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, so it will be allowed again. And really when it comes to punishment in TX, it is about the same as alcohol if not better. IONO Either way its a Misdemeanor, if you get caught driving with it, or drunk. You won't get caught at your house, hopefully, and its pretty easy to get. ITS LEGAL!!! Like im saying, just as legal as alcohol damn near. Is it me or is their like 1500 Marijuana dispensaries in the U.S.A running now? I have a feeling thats more than coffee shops in amsterdam. U and I both know that 85% of this medical shit is just a good reason to push for it being legal one way or the other. Anyone can get their card pretty much. So yah.

note: PatrickHenry's predictions were from about 2 years ago, but spot on I think. If you look at this map below you can see that legal med use at the state level is budding all across the west and select parts of the east.

My guess is Californians will pass this initiative next Nov. If they do, then as provided by the California Constitution, it will become the law of the land the next day. :cool:

If this happens, I predict Oakland and S.F. will offer fully legal cannabis sales to adults. Possibly L.A. county, too. :pimp:

yes. yes, we can. :jointsmile:

nope ... follow the money ... :smokin:

true. it is huge river of cash. These guys out in Oaksterdam :stoned: seem like they have the right idea to me, tho. start small. give people a choice: purchase legal taxed bud from a green county :D or grow your own or get it from your buddy who knows someone, it don't matter. let the market decide where the cash flows. :detective1:

i definitely think marijuana will be legalized; i think proposition 19 will pass and then other states will follow; this is because people are realizing the truth about the all natural drug. the only problem is getting these politicians to actually look and acknowledge the benefits.


Brown and Whitman meet on Prop. 19

yes i do think it will in england some day i hope so them dumb fucks called the government will have to listen to the scientists and know it dose no harm to you and look at what problems alcohol costs the govenment in the nhs,police everything all that can come out of legalizing cannibis is good surley well we all know the govenment love money and we all know how much they could make legalizing weed

^ welcome. Good luck on the other side of the pond. guess, we'll see about Prop 19 tomorrow. Good luck, everyone! vote! this is one case when it really will accomplish something. :jointsmile:

and if Prop 19 does pass ... my advice. think of the 1972 Dolphins. just act like it was expected. not big surprise, really. :cool:

When a majority of Americans want marijuana legalized, it will be.
It really is that simple.
Do a majority of Americans want it legalized? No, not right now.
That is how America works; majority.
