EASY! RAW MATERIALS! HEMP FOR VICTORY!

I voted no. I think that there are too many people and organizations that have too much power that do not want it to be legal.

[Dizz-Oh!]

Yes. Optimism.

[Markass]

Yes, there are a lot of people that don't want it to be legal, as are there many groups opposed to alcohol and tobacco...People are lied to from the second they can understand someone..."Drugs don't belong in America. Just say no!" Fuck that. I was bored just like every other kid before I found that smoking marijuana was the shit. It allows people to lead more happy lives, because smoking pot makes us happy...There's a shitload more people who grow and smoke pot in this country than there are who are pushing to keep it illegal. We just need to stand up and tell them what we think about them basically forcing us to drink alcohol if we want to feel better. Alcohol is deadly, pot isn't. Give us the fucking freedom of choice/

I said no for the exact reasons. But I do have to agree with Markass because you can't keep a lie going on forever, people are finding out the truth. Eventually it will be legal yes, but not anytime in the next 5 years.

Exactly. If I had to put a date on it, I would say we have at least 30-40 more years of weed prohibition in the US, depending on how world politics changes. I would bet on the United States only legalizing it after Canada and Western Europe have, and caving in to external pressures (I have a feeling the US won't be the uncontested superpower of world affairs this century). As for Canada and Europe, I would say legalization is fairly likely within the next 20-30 years.

Guys look at California they just keep stepping up in this i think it will keep spreading from the west coast over the next few years

[rottenPauL]

has been illegal for so long, i dont think its gonna change that now

[Markass]

You've got to think positive, people. How do you think we are able to get our hands on such nice smoke today? Because people did it anyways. We're doing it anyways. If we're capable of doing what we do with this being illegal, we're more than possible to doing something about the law. Roughly 12 million Americans smoke pot? Something like that. That's a lot of people. A lot more people are realizing: "Hey, that kid Marcus' eyes are all bloodshot and I think he's stoned out of his mind...Well man, he's like over there talking to those people about how much more harmful alcohol is than marijuana..." Hey, that kid Jimmy's over there and he's drunk out of his mind. He can't even stand up and he's uncapable of talking to anyone."

It's just that people don't know that when you're high, you're not much of a different person, it's just that you..yourself have a different feeling. And when you're high, unlike being drunk, it's very very unlikely that you're going to interfere nor even affect anyone around you.

A lot of people who really know me, know that I love to get stoned. Smoking weed is what I do. But these people also know that marijuana isn't deliberating..because I'm not a bad person..I'm just like any other average joe, only I like to get high before I do things. But it doesn't impair me from doing normal things, nor does it make me a bad person...This is what weed is. It's something that makes you feel better about living and doing things. That's why it doesn't need to be illegal. It should be the alternative for alcohol. We shouldn't only be allowed to drink alcohol to lift our spirits...This is fucking AMERICA. We should be able to grow all the cannabis we want.
