alot less people would grow because it would be easier just to buy it from a shop just like tobacco ur allowed to grow that. no-one does.

I have read that 1 of the main reasons successive governments in this country (England) have not brought in any sort of legalisation/tolerance law is to do with apathy and lethargy.They seem scared that as a nation we will all just throw the towel in ,not bother goin to work and sit about smokin reefer all day( which incidently sounds good to me) but let's face it this is bull*"it. Most people on these boards sound reasonably clued up about things and realise that unless you grow yer own you have to purchase what is gm for gm a very expensive product so regular income of some sort is an absolute must, basically a job! We should lobby for a tolerance law, Dutch style allowing us to smoke at home or designated places which the last time i heard also allowed for small amounts of home cultivation( single person occupancy up to 3 plants ,over 1 person up to 5 plants) though no mention was made of the actual size of plants that could be grown so by rights you should be able to grow one the size of a f"*#in giant redwood lol. One sad casualty of this reform would be the dealers, sorry guys! but this as got to be the way forward for Joe stoner unless we're gonna be skulking around in the shadows for the next 20yrs. It as to be said that since it's re-classification to class C nobody seems to even see it as an offence anymore. Incidently i grow my own and work mon- fri in a warehouse(real no brainer)

We know that cannabis and other soft drugs are still illegal, just very highly tolerated.

I supose it's a common mis-conception, alot of people actually think it is legal.

No I think it is actually legal, you can possess up to 5 grams and you are allowed to grow 5 plants at a time. I had this discussion with someone down me local the other day and he was adamant that it is actually legal. I don't know though I hear different things. All that matters though is I have some to smoke. At the moment though that doesn't really matter as I have a frikknig cold anyway so i'm not enjoying it.

can you imagine what the tax would be if marijuana were legal? or would it be part of the state tax?

Grow your own dumbass!:jointsmile:

I voted none of the above, I cant decide what the outcome would be if marijuana was legalized. Some people support their family selling weed, what would happen to them if you could go to the corner store and buy some bud. Everything would be different about cannabis around you.... it would be a big adjustment in your lifestyle. So iI understand why some people say no, but it would be great if it was legalized! :stoned:

yes some people do support their whole family from selling but if they werent in somuch shit with the law from selling before (if they were caught) then they wouldnt have to worry about getting a good job... just a diff way to look at it

if cannabis were legal i would still grow it ... why? its a BEAUTIFUL plant, its smells nice, for the experience for growing and raising my own pot plant and smoking the home grown and home grown of anything is always more rewarding than buying it... i grew tomatoes once and they were so much bettter to eat and the fealing and pride of growing your own. Nothing beats the home grown :rastasmoke: plus why would any one want to grow tabacco? tabacco kills tons of ppl every day and IMO is an ugly plant which gives off an ugly nasty thing to smoke... why would any one want to grow that? i also heard tabacco is failry hard to grow.... maybe that may explain why no one does hydophonic gardens of tabacco..................

yes.


but if it were legalized, that would make it:

1) abundant.
2) relatively free.
3) UNPROFITABLE.

The first two I agree with,but the second I don't,here's why. Hemp Economics As you can see the profit potential is over $500 billion a year! So there IS profit to be made from hemp! Exxon and Texaco generated what,$38 billion?:S2: WHAT A LAUGH! We could pay off our national debt in less tan 20 years with hemp!

[stoner mark]

yes it should. why not its better than alcohol that causes so many deaths why cant goverments see that or are they just happy takin taxes ????????????
