I don't think so. If the government did this they would be inviting black market commercial growers back into the setup

After legalisation I would look forward to:

1. Consistent quality products
2. A guide to strength (e.g. % THC) this would be great
3. Genetic History of the plant - helps meds users find high CBD Indica strains and someone who wants to try it out a light Sativa etc etc
4. Regulated growth, prep (curing) and distribution - so that means controlled use of pesticides and proper curing plus decent storage = good product. Plus I get to know what went into it.
5 A regular supply of quality product.

OK you can do some of the above by growing your own too

If cannabis were legalised into a commercial product the results could potentially be dynamite to the average smoker.

If the government fucked it all up we would all go back to the black market anyway - they know this. They would have to create a quality product to compete. If it were managed properly with the long game in mind then we could look forward to being to pick and choose like kids in a candy shop.

I voted yes, although I don't think it should just be legal and that's it. I do think there should be regulations. Age limit for one. I don't think a 12 year old should be smoking pot, just like they shouldn't be drinking alcohol. This is my theory on the whole situation..... If cannabis was legalized with restrictions as follows, it wouldn't be hurting anyone or putting anyone in danger. My suggestion for the law..... you must be 21+ to purchase, consume or grow cannabis. Cannabis cannot be used freely in public places, but could be used freely in the safety of your home. You can not drive or operate heavy machinery or go to work while under the influence of cannabis. Cannabis is permitted in a motor vehicle ONLY for the purpose of transporting to your home. 1 ounce limit at all times. It would of course be taxed if purchased at a smoke shop or store, but the tax shouldn't be discriminatory. It should be the same percentage as tobacco.

This would take care of the "getway drug" theory since there wouldn't be any interaction with "drug dealers" who try to push harder stuff for a better high.

It would allow for us responsible U.S citizens to use it for recreational use and enjoy it!

Who's with me on this one???????:dance:

where did the no's come from

[Oneironaut]

I say not lol


It would take all the fun out of this giggles

So does jail, for millions of pot-smokers around the world like you and me. And taxes, which you have to pay to keep those pot-smokers locked up in cages with violent criminals.

I said yes.

Plus you should be able to grow for personal use as well. :smokin:

Some people I know use it for pain ect and have less side effects then some of the nasty pills that are prescribed to them.

Just one point... If your smart you dont drink and drive.

Same goes for pot ... If you smoke you dont drive.

I DEFINATELY wish it where legal but I think the gov figures if the legalize it then they would have to report all there under the table money they make from it. plus unlike alchohol and cigs its to easy for people to grow it themselves and eventually everybody would be smoking it for FREEEEE!!!!!!

I had to vote maybe because if by "legalize," you mean for minors too (like chewing gum), then no. If by legalize, you mean for responsible adults and patients, then yes, of course.

not tryin to sound like a asshole or anything but.....

no matter what you say the kids are still gonna get it, just like alcohol and tobacco, so why not help and just say yes, and put the decision back in the household where the parents decide what is good for their (child)

i mean hell, like 35% of people on here are from 14-18

totally voting yes for decriminalization
