Marijuana... Hate it or Love it???

[RatFink]

Opiates are flowers too....Should we legalize Cocaine too? Just playing Devil's advocate and asking where does it stop and why?

Don't know how easy or hard it is to grow cocaine, don't know what kind of plant it comes from. Probably more processing and stuff that goes into making that, but anyway, I say no to legalizing coke simply because i've seen what people do on that and also it will give you heart attack, where as pot will make you happy and hungry, it also makes watching COPS on tv awesome.

Government stuff would be pure grade A not cut with oregano. Why not just have the tobacco companies take over the manufacturing process? Make cigarettes illegal. Have the farmers grow weed instead of tobacco, lots of problems solved.

Of course then the cigarettes become the items smuggled in from other countries and sold on street corners.

Coke is highly addictive so of course should not be made legal.

Shoot, I haven't even touched pot in 30 years so what do I know?? The only thing illegal I do is drive too fast.

The number one agricultural crop in kalifornia is POT!!! It is a multi billion dollar crop and the only ones making any real money off it are the dealers. They are talking about putting a legalization bill on next years ballot and I hope they do, its about time. The DEA has come out and said that they dont have the funds or the manpower to put and real pressure on the growers. The Obama administration has come out and said that they will no longer prosecute the medicinal growers!!!

LEGALIZE IT AND TAX IT!!!

 

[JOHNDEEREGN]

It isn't my cup of tea, but what the hell legalize, and tax the **** out of it like alcohol

I do own stock in Crown Royal though:biggrin:

One thing I can predict is this will be one of the top five viewed threads on the board before its all said and done

LOL

I used to smoke years ago but the last time, I stuck that damn 14mm box wrench in my back pocket... looked for that damn thing for nearly an hr, in the meantime I dreamed up 20 more ideas to custom fab or make something out of tubes fuses and fieldwire, the day ended with nothing getting done and me finding my 14mm in my back pocket.

Anyway Let me pos this question:

So if it were legal tomorrow. what kind of options do companys have as far as their drug free policy? would it no longer be enforced? could it be enforced?.

If you dont hire me based on the fact that IM now using legal spliffage would that or could that be a violation of my rights?

OK so They screen me for pot, it shows up positive but I tell them oh only on occasion or once a week..yah right... Anyway they say ok we will hire you but no getting stoned before work...um yah ok to that as well.
Most stoners I knew:

Woke up fell out of bed...dragged a comb accross their heads...found their way downstairs and had a smoke...somebody spoke and they fell in to a dream.................................................................................................................................................................................................................

 

[salvageV6]

It's good for my glaucoma.

So legalize it already.

Luckily Walmart drops are only $4 a month, much cheaper than $$$ pot.

If the heavy users start posting it will be one of the most unviewable threads on the board. :biggrin:

 

[HOT ROD-GN]

Government might say it will contribute to the "growing" obesity problem in the country due to "the munchies".

MUNCHIES DON'T KILL ANY BODY!!!!

 

[datant69]

cig companies making and packaging them

i wouldn't trust any of them to do that, simply because they want you to buy their product. as they put chemicals in the cigs they'll do the same to a pack of joints. why not they already get away with it and have been infront of congress and courts and never admitted they do with that stupid look on their face. i'm just waiting for all the fuss over what chemicals they use to flavor the rolling papers that i see all over the place. As for reaction to it when on it, never saw anyone really get into a fight while on it. saw a special about drugs one time and that political sherriff arapio or how ever you spell his name. he was all over how bad pot was and went to amsterdam having to step over junkies. then the journalist went to amsterdam himself and saw all the legal places to buy it and it was no big deal. street dealers would approach him and ask and he would wave them off and they would leave him alone. no getting robbed and crap, then he interviewed a pub owner where you could buy pot legally and they guy stated that he owned the place for over 20 yrs and NEVER had a fight in there ever. but get abunch of people drunk and before you know it there will be a fight. i quit drinking alot awhile back and only have an occassional drink or 2 when i take the wife out. funny thing is i notice how more sober i am and how s*&t faced the rest get, maybe not all of them but most of them. i just don't care for the hangover and cannot remember the last time i was hung over.

Thank you all

thank you all... Especially Shane for Allowing this Thread remain... U see, it aint that bad... I'm sick of my friends doing hard time for some stupid plant that grows anywhere and everywhere. LEGALIZZZE IT MAN, and keep chasin the purple dragon, Shootin the ack ack gun, gettin f****D up, gettin High, and gettin hungry. :biggrin:

Would You all Like to SIGN a PETITION???

 

[dragonational]

Well you can make your own beer if you want to its not that hard nor is it illegal as long as it is for your consumption and you dont make a profit. Same thing goes for growing your own crop of tobacco or making your own whisky. As long as it is for you and you are the one consuming it and you dont make too much of it then you are good to go. So whats wrong with the average joe having a plant or to in the basement green house? I think that the Gov. should legalize it put a 50% tax on it and use the profits for the National debt or education or something this country needs. I did smoke alot in high school but i have not touched it in 11 years.

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Have at it for those that feel the need for it.

However, this stuff had better not make it's way around my kids.

 

[83turbomon]

Dupont, I see that... Alcohol was part of it as well though...

thanks for flowin with it Shane.

Mark, A buddy of mine use to work quality for a top cigarette manufacturer
and while he worked there they retooled a machine (the company) and had pot brought in and ran production joints..........

True.

I will ask him how it went..

aren't americans dumb enough? the people that wanna do it already do regarless so why open it up to those boardline people who dont smoke it because it is illegal. imagine... all those nurses. doctors, firemen, officers....etc that smoke a cig on their break... imagine if they were smoking weed....u want them watching over ur life? im sure it already happends but not in large numbers.

as far as making it legal to reduce crime... You think i care if scum bags shoot eachother everyday over drugs? hell no..let them blow eachothers brains out.. it is sad when an innocent person dies but if they dont shoot eachother over drugs it would be something else anyway. " yo cuz gimmie yo twinkies" "**** you bro dis my twinkie, imma eat dis cream out the middle" POP!!! "**** u and yo twinkie eatin ass"

Again, devil's advocate....What keeps those nurses, doctors, firemen and officers from lighting up? The same thing that keeps those people from taking a shot of alcohol instead of coffee on a coffee break. Just because you legalize pot, doesn't mean you are giving license to freely use it at the workplace. Most don't freely use alcohol at the workplace, nor would they pot. And likely both would be against company policies.

 

[dr_frankenstein]

not nessacarily true.....

there are plenty of people who are in VERY high positions that enjoy the stuff like a choo choo train. people in very high goverment postitions, who burn on the way to work, during lunch, every 15 minute break they get.

Technicians, Doctors, Engineers, Scientist, Firemen, Pilots, Soldiers and Sailors alike.

Not because it makes them all loopy and funny. NOPE.... just because it calms them down, mellows out a stressful day, and makes it easier to concentrate.

Some of the most amazing engineering that I had ever seen was on a US Navy counter measure system, and the Engineer was a full time stoner. he said it helped him to look "outside" the box.

case in point, it depends on the person - some people it rocks there world and sends them to a coma on the couch. others its just a nice way to blow off steam and enjoy life. It just depends.

so how are we ever going to know.... if it is never tried.... I say give it a probationary period.... and let the american people decide....

unbiased, educated, and willing to make a decision for themselfs... not just what some **** head stupid drug commercial has to say.

like i said i'm sure it happends but if its that much easier to get it and not to worry if you get caught with it would probably make it more likely to happen.

legalizing pot opens the flood gates.. MUCH MUCH more important things to take care of before whether or not to make pot legal... if something isnt done soon we will be living in the United States of Mexico.

1. if it affects everyone different..some to the extreme, would you want that person in a car? thats a big reason NOT to make it legal

2. americans are already too dumb to make decisions for themselves...Look at the piece of F*ck we elected president.

this country and many of its residents have their priorities so ****ed up..

Very True. People that think it loops you out or make you stupid simply have never tried it. Unfortunate genetics or total lack of parental guidance and proper education make people stupid not pot. The same thing makes people close minded...hummm, we got one loose on this forum.

 

[88 CuttyClassic]

i smoke tires...thats enough for me.. i hope they do legalize it so when u all wreck ur cars or sell them to buy some weed and worse because u got addicted...those who choose not to fall for it will have more buicks to play with.
