When do you think Cannabis will be decriminalized?

[MidnightToker54]

This is just a prediction, but I say Cannabis use will be decriminalized in most of the US in about 5 years for medical and recreational use. I'm just talking about certain amounts for personal use, like a few plants or a few ounces of dried bud - that doesn't really cover distribution laws.

Most people I talk to think it will be longer, but there's not many citizens who are opposed to it - it's mostly just the FDA and government's bullshit holding up the process. And our drug laws are so screwed up compared to the rest of the world.

What do you think?

Well with all these videos coming out with shockingly true evidence (to the blind part of America that has been following the government) it's only a matter of time until half of the U.S. population see these and realize they've been lied to by hypocrites and the righteous shall overcome .

The answer is money, yup it is all math, but 5 years sounds right. After all as far as the U.S. is concerned it is already happening on a state by state basis.

Illegal drug dealers and the DEA are close partners and maybe even in some case close fiends. Shoot, they maybe even the same people. Remember the Iran/Contra scandal? You know the 80’s when an ounce of pot was $500 or more and an ounce of coke was only $200?

Without the dealers the DEA wouldn't exist in its current form and without the DEA drug dealers wouldn't be able to make a profit. When the DEA (Or any law enforcement agency) makes a bust I am pretty sure they get cash for continuing the cause and/or bonus money/s. The dealers can then keep their prices high because of the diminished supply. They LOVE each other.

This will only stop when someone comes up with a plan that shows the American public we can make BANK on the licensing of pot smokers.

Roll into a conservative church going community and tell them you have a plan that will not only put money into the towns’ coffers, but will locate and identify all the towns’ pot smokers so they can keep their kids away. They just may bite.

What I really wanna know is what is the future of marijuana in the country of U.S. when those 7 patients die out that is receiving medical marijuana joints from the government.

Absolutely not 5 years.. I can't believe anyone could think public reactions could change that fast..

Maybe within 5-10 years some serious thinking will be done to consider it, but until weed is decriminalized on a national level, it will be a long time. Decriminalization by state has already started, in my state its only a $100 fine for posession of up to 25 grams.

hey, what state do you live in bro? that sounds cool. 100 bucks for 25 grams sounds pretty cool. It SHOULD be 0 dollars.. But 100 sounds ok. :rasta:

Once more states continue to take steps easing up on marijuana, I would say that the rest of the states might follow along once the people realize that the other states aren't having any negative reactions because of pot decriminalization. Time is all we need. As for now, they haven't stopped people from using pot...ever. Just be careful and don't let the wrong people know about what you do and you should be good. One day we will be able to smoke in public without being frowned upon.

Ok not trying to sound like an ass but five years come on, being optamistic is great and all but that snever going to happen. IF it is legalized which i think it will to some extent, its going to take 15 or 20 years, or until some type of liberal is elected into office (as president). I just dont think it going to be a real priority until they realize they cant keep locking up pot heads and the jails all get overcrowded, moreso than now. oneday the budge will crack and they will have to say ah fuckit, mr. bush jr. please pass the doobie.

What do you think?

yes i agree, idk about decriminalization... but i think it will be legal completely for medical use, wich will lead to recreational use about 5 years after possibly
