This forum will soon be part of a new feature on the CANNABIS.COM homepage.
Note that only admins / mods can post new polls in this forum.
However, people may vote and post comments (reply) to polls.

Yes, of course. Nobody has the right to dictate to others what they can and cannot put in their own bodies.
Howdy Ron,
I voted yes..I believe that cannabis should be taken off the Schedule C list and legalized and regulated like alcohol. Even though I started toking at 12 years old,I don't believe that those under 18,should be smoking marijuana..they should be focusing on their education instead. 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 ...
yes, should have been legalized years ago.
should never have been criminalized in the first place.,...Quote:

By this I mean I believe that if there were no age restrictions on alcohol (or any other 'drug', such is Cannabis, if legalised) then mature teenagers would have the ability to try certain things at their freedom. There would be no rush to go out and binge drunk the minute they become old enough. It would also minimise the amount of underage drinking, the same way the legalisation of Cannabis would minimise the amount of Cannabis smoking.
But yes, I agree that, at present, Cannabis should be legalised and should have some sort of age restriction. Though this goes against my beliefs I think this kind of regulation and control is the only way the public would ever accept a full scale legalisation.
Sorry for the rant. Cool idea for a forum. :)
GHoST
WHO VOTED NO? LEMME AT EM
I think it ought up to the parents to decide when their children are mature enough to handle something, not the government. Especially considering that people mature at different rates. My parents knew I was mature enough at 17.
My sentiment exactly.
The government should stay the fuck out of our personal lives. It's not their job to police morals, either. :(
can you imagine what the tax would be if marijuana were legal? or would it be part of the state tax?
It would definately have it's own tax, the same way alcohol does. And the tax would go up all the fucking time, the same way they do on alcohol. At least I guess they would.
But who knows? If they legalised it might be able to get permits to grow at home. I doubt that would happen, with people like GWB in power, because he'd have to do what his big corporate friends told him to do, and they'd want a big piece of the pie, if not the whole thing. So someone like GW, if weed was legal, wouldn't let you grow it and then he'd privatise the growing of it to big corporations. Probably pharmaceutical companies.
LEGALIZE IT!
who voted no lol
Well of course!
If it was that easy...
I for one, am sick of the government running our lives in the way they do. Id prefer to 'decriminalize'.
Why just decriminalize? Full legalization is what we should be striving for. There should be no laws against products of Mother Nature.

I can think of many reasons why the government should legalize it besides erasing the National Debt.
in this society i wouldnt want it to. marketing it would be pretty gross. im all for decriminalization though.
Yeah, but if it was legal you wouldn't need to buy it from the corporations, who would probably end up making it with all the radioactive fertilizers they make cigarettes with anyhow. I think lots of people would end up just growing it in their homes. I know I would.

Not to mention how the quality would more than likely be down-graded significantly. They would probably still have private growing illegal as well. All along they tell us(the people) we got we asked for(legalized marijuana.)
On the other hand, no plant that grows out of the ground should be made illegal. Just an example that first comes to mind would be Datura. Anyone looking for a legal alternative may turn to this and use it without being aware of the lethal side effects commonly associated with it. All because they were scared of the ''legal side effects'' of using marijuana. This person may say to themselves if Datura is legal then is must be harmless, unlike marijuana which must be illegal because something is 'unsafe' about it. Then again, consuming either of the two should be narrowed down to personal choice.
yes legalize
Please see my post under activism titled A Brief History of the Politics of
Cannabis in North America. The original legislation was fought by numerous
groups ranging from the American Medical Association to the Paint Council. The financial costs of the current legislation are obsecene, ranging into the billions of dollars depending on the data used. Any honest reevaluation of the original legislation will result in changes for the better

I have always liked the word decriminalization. Those that use are criminals. If legalization is the way, I'm all for it. But I like decriminalization better. For what it's worth, the government that governs least, governs best.Quote:

in ludacri's red light district video, he was talking to some shop owner or something in amsterdam, and the guy said that they have the lowest problems with heroin and coke, and that not many kids are smoking. so whats the problem with it being legal? and besides, why can you hate someone who does it when they want to relax.
^^YES I AGREE
