If it were not for the American attitude towards weed Canada would have legalized it by now but anytime Canada attempts to legalize or decriminalize it the Americans go nuts and Canada is forced to retreat.

I believe the biggest thing is to have weed\hash or natural growing items like mushrooms seperated from the Drug category. A great line I heard in chat one day was "I don't do drugs, I smoke weed" and I thought that was a perfect saying. Now if we can only get that message across only then the laws will change.

Just my thoughts

I think there should be open sale, but growers could only grow x amount of plants so it stays a "family" business. I dont want there to be like pre rolled joints that are standardized and sold by huge companies like cammel. And I dont wana go to the store and get a box of weed. It should be done through weed only strores and only growers can sell, and be taxed

I was just doing some brainstorming while really high last night and I came up with an idea that at the very least is a fair way to treat Marijuana on both sides of the spectrum.

Basially it is the law regarding Marijuana. I always figure the key is for everything to connect, and for it to all make sense, and I think that I did just that.

-Marijuana could be cultivated and consumed by person's over the age of 21
-The amount that a single person grows is restricted
-Selling Marijuana is illegal, especially to teens
-Marijuana could only be used on one's own property and in designated areas
-The distribution of small quantities of Marijuana among persons over 21 is perfectly legal, so long as no profit is involved

Basically what I think this does is completely eliminate the trend of marijuana dealing, since most people will be able to get it for free. At that point, the only real reason to deal would be to little kids, however, few will consider that to even be worth it, and even fewer will take the risk since it would be highly punishable.

With these, not only would the problem of Marijuana bringing in unmarked revenues be solved, but I also think that this way MJ would be an "adult thing", and that not as many kids will use it. At worst, it would be like alcohol, which ain't too bad.

Maybe I'm still way too high from last night an my head is just a mess, but just let me know what you think.

The electric company would have to be notified. You would need to get a license to use the electricity then a license to grow MJ. A firesafe inspected grow room. For each new generation you'll have to get all these licenses. To grow if ever where to happen

I believe should be ok to grow it give it away etc. Kinda like sex...you can give it away but not sell it.

Is it illegal for a hooker to have sex with a guy if she doesnt make him pay. In other words if the hooker was on the corner and she wanted to have sex with a guy for free and got busted would she get in trouble? No money involved.

pot should be so cheap dealers wouldnt wanna sell it as there wouldnty be much profit margin

being a slave to time puts one on a leash. to be free one would have to upset the balance of all they have known, seperate belief from fact, but not all facts are concrete, what we see and what is really in front of us are 2 different things, for example, we know dragons don't exist, why b/c we've been told that all our lives, but had we never been told this surely dragons would still walk with us,
humans only see what years of programing have told us to see, seeing time as an unmovable force holding the world together was only the idea of man, the realms of fantacy may have been reality at one point, the only reason we don't see these realms is because we're programed not to.
another example is: if you were to look at the most horrible sight you've ever seen, maybe a murder, at first all you see is a pile of red and slime, the more you look at it the more detail your mind brings out, if we were to see every aspect of this grizzly murder all at once without giving our brain time to prepare for it we could not handle the reprecussions, and madness would be the result,
i think drugs like lsd and others like it help to open the blocked off parts of our brain just for a little while exposing this alternate reality thats always there. but then i also think alot of mental disorders are caused by these parts of the brain opening without drugs or warning, that i think is the reason why some mental patents are talking to things and people that aren't seen by us "normal"people, they see them b/c they are there and we've blocked them out over centuries of denial.

Sure, President Schwarzenegger. :thumbsup:

It's legal to carry it, it's legal to smoke it, and if you are the owner of a hash bar, it is legal to sell it.

I could be wrong, but uhhh...Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction? lol I love that movie

Anyway, the point I think thats a great idea, but it'll never be that way here. At least not for the next...i don't know....15....20....25 years....

I'm more of realist of an idealist, unless it comes to daydreaming, but I know that marijuana prohibition will be going strong for a (long) while.

Button Basher, but I thought about that. You don't seem to understand that yea, maybe not everyone will want to bother growing it, but just the fact that doing that would be legal, would mean that many people will. Marijuana will be passed around for free, and when you have a friend who can hook you up with some whenever you need it (or even several), not many people will see the need to buy it. Trust me man, if it's the way that I described it, there won't be many people selling it, and the few who are would be liable to a pentaly under the law.

dealers are already liable to a penalty under the law, just thought u should know
