Do you think we'll experience 100% LEGAL WEED in our lifetime?

[Innominate]

If you want 100% legalized cannabis, we can all create our own country.

Call it, "Cannaba." :rastasmoke:

[Dream of the iris]

Too bad, cause this world really would be a better place if everyone would just toke up. :jointsmile:

That doesn't make any damn sense. What about the criminals in ghettos? They smoke weed everyday, but go out and rob and kill people! I know that's a overstatement, but it's proof that the calming effects of weed is a personal thing. If you are a violent person to begin with, you will still be violent high.

[TheDefiler]

Ya and all that violence is there because of the poverty and racial disparity. People wouldn't see the need to be violent if the could see a better way. But desperate people do desperate things.

Oh and mfgr: Marlboro is a brand name. The corporation you're thinking of is Philip Morris.

If you are a violent person to begin with, you will still be violent high.

Bullshit. I know quite a few naturally high-strung (and inherently violent) people who smoke a bowl and just chill out completely. Maybe after napping, eating, then taking a shower, they'll become unstable again...but their initial reaction is to calm down, relax, and watch a movie, or something. You really want to see these people get violent? Give them some alcohol...and watch the games begin!

I've got bipolar disorder, had it since I was a kid. (I'm in my late 20's now.) I've tried every medication known to man to try and stabilize myself when I could feel an episode coming on, and the only prescription drugs that ever worked were practically narcotics that knocked me flat on my ass. Some drugs worked better than others, but many of them had side-effects that negated any of the benefits.

I'm a lot better at controlling my own symptoms now, without having to rely on experimental drugs, but am still prone to having a manic episode every once in a while. When this happens, I can simply take a few hits of some good herb, and go out for a 2-hour walk along a nature trail...and I'll bypass the episode almost completely. My mind is preoccupied with the relaxing buzz, the sounds/sights/smell of the outdoors, and in short order, a feeling of calm will sweep back over me.

Most drug-induced violent crimes stem from two sources: alcohol, or speed (meth, crack-cocaine, "crank", etc.)...and, of course, a predisposition to being violent in the first place.

[headydankness]

yes, i mean I'm pretty young and i probly have allot of life ahead of me. And relay if you think about it allot can happen in say 50 years. But don't just dream about it, do something! and one day cannabis will be finally accepted throughout the world

I'd love to see the MJ legal like beer. Walk into a corner store and buy an 1/8th like you're buying six pack.

In all honesty, do you think we'll see that in our life time?

No. But, I would much like to see MJ entirely legal and free to use at will, unlike alcohol which I think should be put on the top shelf and highly regulated.

For the government the changes would be drastic but highly profitable, considering the amount of taxpayers money put into repairing things alcohol broke. How many thousands of people needing hospital treatment every weekend due to the effects and presence of alcohol. Not to mention the amount of money they would revenue in tax from the sale of legal cannabis, thousands and thousands of people having a good time socializing threw out the country, not being excessively sick on them selfs because they have drunk to much.

NOPE ... marijuana will NOT be 'USA-legal' in my lifetime, and probably, never :wtf: ... and soon, our landmark 'foot-in-the-door' Medical Marijuana situation, will be taken away ... you can thank the 'gangsters in storefronts' Dispensaries, and crooked doctors that recommend pot to teenagers with pimple outbreaks, for the loss ... watch and see ...

[D.U.M.B]

No it will probably not happen in my lifetime, decriminalisation is the best anyone can hope for. 100% legal weed in my lifetime is doubtful

[Ironman]

AH, so true, get a bunch of stoners together you get "Love, Peace, and Music" (aka) "Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll". I know I was there:hippy:. Get a bunch of drunks together you get "Violence, Anger, and DEATH". I know, I was one.:rambo:. Thank GOD I made the SAFER CHOICE :jointsmile:.

[midnite420toker]

I'd love to be able to just walk into a place like a coffeeshop in holland and scrore a bag of da real good... but the older i get, the crazier certain groups get, politics, etc... idk, i am starting to doubt it, but, i will never stop trying to make it happen and i will never give up the dream.
