Do you think weed will ever be legal?

[Lucifuge]

I see decriminalization happening within the next 10-15 years, but legalization? No, not for a looong time.

It's already decriminalized in a lot of places, and there have been a few cities taking a stand, and calling marijuana lowest priority, such as Hollywood and Colorado. In Hollywood I'm comfortable enough to smoke in public, even in cop busy neighborhoods. In California, and I think 11 other states, medical marijuana is legal. When I buy weed, I get to go to a club, pick my strain of bud out of many, I can buy hash, keif, edibles..etc. As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be legal. It will be someday.

State wide I'd say in the next 10 years in a lot of states. Federally, I have no idea. If you're in the west you have a pretty good shot of seeing it legalized. Places like CA, OR, WA, AZ, CO, and NV. These states have a libertarian leaning you don't find in the east nearly as much. Generally speaking; they're not fond of the government telling them what they can do. It all relates back to the old days when settlers moved out here for mining, religious persecution, and farming cheap land.

the government has painted itself into a corner. even if they were willing to relinquish that much of their control, they have spent far too much time and money demonizing weed for outright legalization. the best that can be hoped for in the foreseeable future is legalization for medical use (Rx required). to admit the deceptions of the past would expose the power hungry the kind of scrutiny they cannot afford.

I believe that weed will undoubtably be legalized . The question is when. At some point I think that we have to help ourselves by educating those who have been brain washed by the anti-weed propaganda. Our side is millions strong and would be a powerful force that would have to be reckoned with, the immediate problem is that this government is effectively chipping away at our constitution every day with no checks. The rich and the corporations that rape the land, poison the water and stack the deck in their favor and own the politicians ie oil companies, drug companies, pulp industry, etc. would at the least lose buisness and, in my opinion, at best go out of buisness. Weed & hemp is truly the tree of life, everything has a purpose and hemp has countless positives!!!!!:smokin:

No. A huge portion of our system is built upon jailing it's citizens for building more government.
These laws have nothing to do with keeping you safe, but to build system where you single out what the population wants, alcohol, tobbacco,pot, make it illeagle, then you need proscuters,lawers,judges,counseling services,jails,then those lawers become judges, they become politicians, then they start getting lobbist moneys from Coors, Budwieser, cotton industry, plastics, wood, all to give more money to keep it ileagle!!
Even taxing it, they would lose so much corrupt income.

Hell go read CatherinAustinFitts book (for free)Dillon Read & the Aristocracy of Prison Profits it's all there and how long it's gone on. The eye opening for me was just startling!!

I think it could become legal, but the catalyst would be another great depression, Thats what made alchohol legal after the temperance societies got it outlawed. Economic need will always usurp the morals of a society. Right now in our sea of wealth it is not neccesary to legalize marijuana and tax the fuck out of it, in fact we have so much money that we can spend billions of dollars fighting a futile war against it, but with our enormous war debt, china's premminance as a world power, and that fact that we're due for a crash as it seems our cycles flow i think that within the next 15 yrs I would not be suprised to see it legalized to bail the govt. out of some serious hock.

I believe that it is a very big possibilty. if we all did our part to help it could be done. Things have been changing alot in our beautiful country lately. such as all the bills that have been passed to help medical marijuana, and states setting marijuana as a low priorety defense.
