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

[SGRIM]

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"

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.

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.

We have had this discussion before, haven't we. Perhaps "Close minded" is the wrong thing to say. Just because someone does not believe marijuana should be legal does not make them closed minded. Perhaps they are so open minded that they can see beyond selfish agendas and look out for a the bettering of society.

If and when it's legalized, any body want to guess how long until a board members life is dramatically affected by the legalization? I thought I was done putting up with this trash when I graduated high school. Now those idiots can vote and do some pretty serious damage to the country in a short amount of time. Do you ever wonder what smokers lives are like? How many of them have serious problems (domestic problems, career problems, other dependencies) with other aspects of their life when compared to non-pot smoking peers? I am sure they have more self inflicted things to get themselves stressed about, letting them justify the drug use.

It's OK, I try to live a cleaner life than that, I have more respect for myself and my family.

A year or so ago in Lexington, KY a man left work early to go home and get high before his wife was to get home from work (that he remembers). He went home, got stoned and his wife found their daughter, dead in his Durango. What really happened was He picked her up from school, went home and got high, leaving her in the hot sun to die. That's trash for you.

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.

Thats not what happens. Weed isnt that addicting, and you can still drive when you smoke (not a good idea, but much safer than alky). I think people WITH Buicks should smoke, these cars are nerve wreaking to say the least .

Even if it gets legalized, the people that have'nt ever smoked it wont all the sudden say "lets get high", there are people that dont drink or smoke cigarettes and they are legal substances. Its up to you as an individual to make your own decisions in life and decide what you want to do with it. Its also up to you to raise your children to make good choices in life.

If its good enough for Dre and Snoop.........

Good example Jay, just look how good "The Chronic", and "The Chronic 2001" turned out, both are great albums .

Well, P*t has been around for probably a good 2000 years, you read about in the bible, and the aztecs found it useful in healing and in prayer. And until this century, I have never read or learned, or heard of anybody dying from its use, other than from the "drug War" that OUR goverment created.

Now, Im not an advocate of its use, I dont reccomend it, and dont use it myself* and sure as hell dont want my kids to use either, until there 21 and are an adult and can make life decisions for themselfs. if they choose to use, Thats fine... but I would hope that they can make an educated choice, and atleast have the freedom too.

And thats my point, All I want is the freedom to make that decision myself. I dont need to be protected - I am an american, and want my freedom as i was promised. not as the "Goverment" sees fit for me.

The legalization of P*t is not entirely about the use of the substance, its more so the movement behind it. its showing that the people want choice, even if the answer is wrong. being able to choose your own destiny and life is something that everyone wants right? Dont you want to choose what you may smoke or drink? or do you trust your "Goverment" that much?
legaliztion of many things has become more common, just watch the news, particularly in this economy - where you can no longer buy happiness as easy as years past, having the simple freedoms in life that we use to, could change an entire country.

and yes, I agree... P*t is not a good thing, and bad things do happen from its use. But so does alcohol, ciggarettes, perscription drugs, and spray paint can you just finished bombing your engine with.

If your that stupid, to let anything control you and your life that much. we obviously didnt need your genes in the pool. and the world may be better off.

Also there was a comment I saw above, but this stuff grows everywhere in the midwest area. My uncle goes hunting out there and he said it's all over. (its probably Ty's backyard )

 

[jcawley3]

every now and then I catch a wiff of that wonder smell riding down the road and I know someone just rolled down the window after riding the cloud!

TAX it man....I promise not to grow my own!

 

[jcawley3]

Funny, after reading this thread I head over to Slashdot to check the news and what story do I see?

[jdpolzin]

I'll admit it, I smoked pot in college and for a while after college until I got my job and had drug testing. I loved it. In college, my buddies would go out partying during the week and couldnt get out of bed for class. I stayed at home, burned a one hitter with a couple friends and went back to the room and studied. I didnt miss much class and always laughed when the drunks didnt come out of their rooms till 2pm.:biggrin:

I think it should be legal, not during work hours. No working while intoxicated on alky or stoned. If you are caught, your gone. If I want to to sit out in my garage on a Friday night and light one up, I should have the right. It's a free country right?........ not really now.

I dont agree with any other drugs, I've never done any other drugs besides tobacco, weed, and alky and I never will. I was around the other stuff a TON in college and never had the urge to try it.

On a side note, I know a LOT of proffesionals who smoke regularly. These include Police officers.

LEGALIZE IT, TAX IT!!! Use the money for schools and public roads.

 

[V8Assassin]

You can't effictively tax it, people will grow their own

It's hard for multi nationals to produce and dist, cause people will grow their own

And oh btw let's not forget about tearing down the multi-billion dollar a year profit centers on both sides of the law. The infrastructure created over this issue has grown to epic proportions.
