legalize methods

[Zoosh]

Children will be exposed to weed so easily if its legalised.
There are kids near me smoking normal cigs who are about 11 years old.
We dont want kids this young being able to get their hands on weed.
They'll be so much more exposed to it and we really dont need that.
Kids can be protected from weed if we keep it somewhat illegal.

I think I explained that how I want.

zoosh i think ur either a dealer or a cop because they r the only fuckers who want it to stay illigal,there is nothing stopping kids from getting weed now,u say that by keeping weed somewhat illigal it will protect kids from getting it,but cig's are illigal to buy for under 16 and they still get those,in ur own words....
"There are kids near me smoking normal cigs who are about 11 years old"
kinda knocks the shit outa ur own reasoning..free the weed..

"Each and every police officer has their own ranking of the relative seriousness of all criminal offences that is often based on their background experiences. However hard they try, their attitudes and behaviour are often affected by that assessment. I have never, and can never, see the drug user as a 'criminal'. I see them as, amongst other descriptions, a rebellious youth, a risk taking idiot, a seeker of relief, a lobbyist for independent thought and freedom, someone in need of guidance and help or a very real exasperation to parents and friends. But in as much as the drug use is concerned, not a criminal and therefore the criminal law cannot be the appropriate weapon to counter or deter a choice of use." -Eddie Ellison former operational head of Scotland Yard's Drug Squad

Wow zoosh i don't believe what im hearing, Keep it ILLEGAL?? wow im stunned... and like gromorebud said u jus basically dug a deeper hole that you tried to get out of. there's no point trying to 'protect' the children, if they have the right resources they can get it so easy!

No point trying to get rid of weed, Im finding more, and more...and more plants growing wild out here :thumbsup: :rasta:

ZOOSH, what a harm can come from an underage person who smokes weed?

about the worst thing that could happen is they get busted by the cops and then get charged as adults!

I don't see anything wrong with young people smoking marijuana.


the people I know who hide their pot use from their kids, generally have kids who are curious and want to disobey their parents and try it!

but the people I know who are honest with their kids don't have pot smokers for kids.
my kid is 21 and never drank or smoked anything!

go figure

Zoosh, are you in touch with reality?! I agree with keeping children under the age of 18 off of it. However, keeping them off it totally works as well as sexual abstinance, which is to say not at all. Just say no? This is the real world, not Nancy Reagans fantasy.

If it's legalized it becomes harder for children to get, not easier. I started smoking weed at 13yrs old as it was so easy to get in my Catholic school. That was over 25 yrs ago, let alone today! Yet we couldn't get alchohol as nobody would buy it for us.

Think about your position again and then if you want to discuss it more I will be more than willing to.

wait a sec....stop grilling zooch for a sec...think of wat he's tryin to say: i think he's from the UK...now here in the UK, society is spiraling downwards into sum say anarchy. this involves high rates of violent crimes on a disturbing surge and wats more the youth of today are quite frankly remorseless, disrespectful, ill socialised little shits who have no respect for anythin watsoever. I call them generation x....im sure it'll have caught on in 5 years time wen the british government realises that their pussy ass Left realism approach to tackling the countries issues is just as useful as second hand toilet paper. Now to my point...these kids are drinking and smoking at the tender of age of 7+ and i can tell u..ive seen it wit my own eyes. Theres kids reportedly shooting up at the age of 11. I aint no cop...and let me tell u im studyin law to help liberalisation of cannabis...its my one goal in life- but precautions have to be taken. Ok yeah we all here like smokin bud and yeah it wud be so much easier to just legalize it but u have to think of the effects it will have upoi the rest of society and its repurcussions. You will never succeed if u think day to day, u have to be ahead of the time to succeed.

Has anyone seen the movie, "The Village"?

I think we could employ a scare-tactic on children, if we all pulled it off together.

That's a great movie. You gotta watch it.

I believe that all countries should start making the move to decriminalize Cannabis and not legalize it. Take the Netherlands for example. They have only decriminalized it and not legalized it. Coffee shops can only store what they can sell in a day and people are only allowed to use for private use and cultivate for private use and you are only allowed to sell outside the shops up to a gram. This way people don't start loading up the trucks and taking it outside the countries creating HUGE political problems. I hate politics but lets be realistic, if you want to keep something good you have to take measures to protect it. I In Germany you are allowed to have up to 30 grams in certain parts and they will not seek to penalize you. if caught And by the way for those of you that do not know the difference between legalization and decriminalization is this Legalize: Make it free for up to any amount, no boundries it's totally legal. Decriminalize: Legal for certain shop owners to obtain a license and sell cannabis in limited amounts in the boundries of the establishment and allowing the individual person to posess and cultivate in limited amounts. Personally I say about 100 grams would be enough but I would be head over heals if the US would agree to decriminalize cannabis up to 50 grams :thumbsup:

@prozac fairy,perhaps if the police wer'nt persicuting innocent cannabis users to boost their arrest rate they would have more time to use on violent criminals,im from the uk aswell so i know you are basicly right about the kids being out of control but who took all the power away from the parents and gave it to the kids,the same dik's who brought in 24 hour drinking laws thats who,im from nottingham m8 so dont even think about telling me about violent crime,we have to live with it every day,and where are all the police?playin hide and seek in their panda cars thats where.weed aint got fuck all to do with the state this country is in,the worse it gets on the streets the easier it gets for them to put more camara's up to monitor ur freedom,big brother aint just a book ya know,but by the time you work that out it will be to late.
