PROHIBITION(bad)MARIJUANA(good)

No, you don't have to start dealing, that's just what dealers tell themselves. While it's true, that more growers = less dealers, there will always be those that don't want to or cant grow for any number of reasons. You'll never permanently reduce prices on popular black market items. If you want real price reduction it starts with rescheduling and getting rid of the backmarket. Alas, we're back to the pipe dream...

The price of pot is skyrocketing like gas prices are. Except for, shortly after, 9-11-01, prices have gone up more for stamps.

I guess, that's the benefits of a five-year dealer. I miss Ghost.

we are eager to hear how you propose to activate the rescheduling and ridding the world of the black market.

it's probable that you don't have a clue.

therefore, let's begin Overgrowing and see what happens. at least that's in our control.

you Overgrow and I'll Overgrow and we'll give our surplus away for free to our friends. at least this will make a dent in the wallets of our local dealers.

Holy Cow, I meant, "The price of pot ISN'T skyrocketing..."

I used to believe it might happen but in order for it to work, there'd have to be a fundamental shift in thinking and reasoning and it's just not likely to happen. There are many smokers and activists that drive away the support we need to reschedule. Minors are just one example, but it's an important one. Responsible use means adults only, and anyone proposing otherwise is hurting the cause, unless you disagree with NORML on that, I don't. Also, look at the hate and vile screeds posted here, that does nothing to win hearts and minds, so to speak. In fact, it's just another example of how a lot of smokers are our own worst enemy.

You ask what *I* would do here?
1) Ban minors
2) Close all non-mj forums
3) Delete all hate threads
4) Require civil, respectful debate, not hate spews.

Additionally, in general:
5) All smokers would stop selling/giving/helping/enabling minors, making it known that mj is for adults only. It would show that smokers are responsible users, not all dealers, addicts and potheads.
6) Pot/mmj rallies would be about facts, not spewing hate and driving away potential supporters.
7) A positive, national, ad campaign that shows patients as normal everyday people, not rasta/spicoli/addict/pothead/stoner stereotypes.


As for clue, I see you have none... *gets out the clue-bat*

What would YOU do? Give a little surplus away? Good plan...growers with friends have been doing that forever.

Hope that helps...

For those who look at Marijuana legalization as something that would be a simple and effective solution, feel free to question me as to why you couldn't possibly be more wrong, undereducated, and uninformed.

The most simple way I can think of explaining it, is to think of it as something that, while shouldn't be completely illegal, can never be completely legal at the same time, and then you can understand the difficulty of determining the future legal status of Marijuana.

This is why the government looks at "legalize marijuana" campaigns as a joke, and will never even consider them..

Reschedule Marijuana, k thx bye.

You're pretty hostile & condescending. Talk about hateful vibes. But I'm sure you can't help it.

I don't like your prejudice against minors. When did you start smoking pot?
Only after you got ill as an adult?

I started at 15 and I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna act like a hypocrite and morally support prejudice towards teen tokers. Will I supply them with weed? No. Would I vote for legalization if it meant that no one under 18 would be allowed to smoke it? Yes, but I know they'd still be able to score it as I did at 15 when it was illegal.

What don't you understand about Overgrowing?
Give it away for free, the more people who do so, the less money the dealers will make, the less money going into organized crime and the politicians they own & grease the palms of so as to keep the War on Pot going.

Let's be sensible, eh?
Keep it simple.
Keep the faith.

You're another retarded hypocrite.

Do you like NORML's "prejudice" against minors? http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3417

So, you'd vote against legalization fo rminors and you'd not sell to minors but you're not against them smoking because you did and you think you're not a hypocrite? See above...

You deluded fool. Pull your head out of your ass, you're living in a fantasy world, grow up. The only way to have anything close to what you're imagining is to begin with rescheduling and you're part of the problem.

Ah friend, more hostility? You must be feeling very bad. Sorry to hear it.

Perhaps you should re-read the post and you will see that I said I would vote for legalization even if it included prohibition for minors as a way to get the law passed because I know they'll still be able to score. And when they scored they'd be paying a helluva lot less than they/we are paying these days.

Are you a cop?

[iamapatient]

You're still a hypocrite and your retarded "are you a cop" line just proves that you have nothing. How many pathetic retarded teenagers try that "are you a cop" crap with anyone that isn't a lemming like you? Pathetic. What's next, are you going to insult my mother, attack my sexuality, call me a racist name? Grow the fuck up, punk. It's idiots like you that keep mj illegal by enforcing the pothead stereotype. Congratulations, you're a fuck up!
