Should cannabis be legalized?

[beachguy in thongs]

Eh, it was a bad example. While I wish it was legal so I could use it responcibly on my own, I feel too many people wouldn't and would ruin it for others.

That's when other drugs come into play. Marijuana and alcohol don't mix. Any drug that tampers with your heart, doesn't mix with marijuana.

if it was legal the government would just make even more money i vote NO!

[intrepidus6]

I voted yes, but it might actaully be in our best interest to keep it illegal. It would become just like tobaco, they would spry it with insecticides and use dangurose chemicals in the fertilizers and all that crap. I believe that tobaco would be healthy or atleast not un-healthy, if it wasn't pumped full of chemicals and stuff.

I completely agree.

However, even though I do agree that if weed were to be legalised it should be restricted to adults only (be that 16+, 18+ or 21+ depending on where you are located) I disagree with age limits altogether.

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.

To my knowledge, one of the main reasons that they made the drinking age 21 when it was 18 in new york is that kids would drink and drive and fuck shit up...so they made it illegal till the age of 21. One of the problems with marijuana is that in studies, some found it to be hallucigenic and the government very well cant have people hallucinating and driving around... Plus, as far as I know, there is no easy way to determine if someone has been smoking so police would run into a huge issue of "better judgement", people would be in deep shit if they were thought to be driving under the influence of pot. Pure and simple, it would be difficult to regulate.

As for whoever was talking about insecticides, tainted bud, and such...I'm sure there would be a more natural form out there just as there are different brands of cigarettes, some more mutilated than others...

I agree pot should be legal, but they need to start small, we need to make baby steps, they should allow people to have one plant in your household and at most 3 grams when out in public...or something along those lines, and i don't think theyd be content to let it happen all at once nationwide, its going to be a gradual thing or else...to compare it to binge drinking, everyone would go apeshit once they could do it legally and a certain level of chaos would ensue.

what is the deal with denver and colorado and south carolina anyways?

ps, if we really all want this to happen, we should pull some civil rights activism and get it publicized, reeeeeallly publicized...like snoop-dog-is-hosting-a-tv-show-on-it publicized. who wants to march on washington, just name the date. :thumbsup:

[potolop]

oh no

[dj defibrillator]

I think grass should remain illegal but laws against it should not be enforced. I'm afraid of what would happen if we legalized it, we'd regulate it in a way that makes it shitty or expensive or hard to get or something like that.

But then again I tend to be pessimistic.

i think that cannabis should be legal because it is a benifit to mankind it has helped lots of people in good ways in life because cannibis is so good

[TriPoLoGy]

Wow thats the most obvious question ive heard in years, how bout askin why it should be legalised

[CYRAX]

Yes.... for 1 reason

i crash more drunk then high...

Lol.

[Freshy]

i vote yes, and they wouldn't spray it. i watched the history channel (yeah yeah, don't make fun of me) and they said its name "weed" is exactly what it is, a weed. it takes almost know effort to grow. but large harvesting is another story... cotton is easy to harvest but hard to grow, hemp is easy to grow but hard to harvest.

many thanks to our canadian friends who are making hemp clothing.
