KEEP MARIJUANA ILLEGAL

[thecreator]

so becuase you're worried you may not be able to get your smoke when you (i assume) only like to smoke for the joy, you say keep it illegal to even those who need it for medical purposes???

sounds kinda selfish to me...

I sooooo agree. I know what your going through but think of all the people who would be out of jail, families united and a better since of smoke because you can grow it your self.

Think of the greater good.

If it were made legal tomorrow, would people in jail right now for possesion be released? I never thought about that. They still commited a crime at the time they were caught. But tomorrow what they did would no longer be illigal.

[slipknotpsycho]

knowing the state, hell no they wouldn't be released.. that's alot of money to be losing....

then of course you always have plea bargains, people who are in jail for many things, all of which besides weed would still be illegal, but because their lawyer is so good... they only had to plea guilty to the marijaua counts...

They still commited a crime at the time they were caught.

Yes that is one way of looking at it.Seriously they would be set free,any crime committed after a new law is passed is automatically null and void. Pending other actions of course.imp:

I don't degree. You can't put a law on a plant. If you're worried about quality then you should grow your own. I mean hell if it's made legal then that would mean that there should be a certain amount of plants that you could legally own. I also wouldn't worry about age because if it were made legal tomorrow there still would be drug dealers and I'm pretty sure you'd eventually get a few seeds and you could grow them regardless of you age . Make it legal, grow your own, be happy :stoned:.

were people charged with prohibition crimes released?

If they leagleized it and sold it at 60 for a 1/4 and taxed it at 50% the could make boo-koo bucks in tax revenue all they would need to do is make a prison sentence very stiff and federally mandatory if caught dealing in the street. say 20 years behind bars.
this would free up alot of prisons and jails like petty posession charges. and leave room for real criminals like rapests and murdereres.
just an opinion.

At least until I'm 21. The best solution to me would be to decriminalize it. If Marijuana were made legal I think it would be worse quality and more expensive. Not to mention, since I'm underage it would be harder for me to get then it is is now. It's a fucking pain in the ass for me to simply just go get some blunt wraps or papers when I can buy Marijuana anywhere.

Does anyone else feel this way? If you don't I'm probably gonna take a lot of shit for this. lol

But seriously, legalizing it would make it worse than it is now. Don't LEgalize it, DEcriminalize it.

wrong. They need to legalize it so that it isn't sold by violent criminals...Put it in stores and have the states grow their own. It'll be better than anything you can find on the streets, and will be much cheaper than the street price. Then it would be a better message..wait until you're eighteen to smoke marijuana kids...it's not for young people. Instead of..if you smoke marijuana you will ruin your life instantly and you will die because of it. I don't want my kids being able to buy marijuana from a fucking drug dealer...I want him to be able to buy it from a store, whenever he's an adult.

The main expense of flowers is going to be the taxes on them, not the actual price. How much does it cost to grow tons of plants in let's say..a field?

You can continue to want to be able to be thrown in jail for a couple of years for having that ounce in your pocket...and maybe even accused of being a mindless drug dealer with intent to distribute...But I would rather be seen as a responsible smoker that is a non-violent productive member of society. Not a criminal.

The government says it's okay to smoke cigarettes..which kill nearly half a MILLION people every year...but when it comes to marijuana..it's a no go. Marijuana is too dangerous. WTF? I don't want my children to one day be an alcoholic who excessively drinks and beats his wife, or addicted to cigarettes and possibly die from cancer because he thought marijuana was too dangerous for him. The laws don't correlate with the reality of marijuana...It's non-toxic, and is not a risk to the user or the people that are around it.:thumbsup: :stoned:

[420marijuana420]

That's not what I mean, I just don't want the sale of marijuana to be regulated and for the cops to let you do it anyways with a minimal penalty for possession
