Do you honestly think pot will be legalized while you're still alive?

I mean, I sure hope so. It does look like a lot of the old attitudes about it are vanishing slowly. I know a lot of people who don't like or smoke pot that still think it should be legalized. On the other hand though this would require the government to back off and that's something that's always hard to get them to do. You also have a lot of naive people out there that think it's their god given mission to stop people from smoking the "devils weed".
Still, I think it's going to happen. States are already decriminalizing it and making medicinal uses of it available behind the federal governments back. It's really just a matter of time.

yea. i actually read an article a few years ago that stated that even the newer CIA and DEA gov officials that were being recruited are now allowed to have "past (IE high school, college) marijuana history" so long as it was EXPERIMENTAL and once or twice only. the reason for this, being that they had to turn down many potentially excellent recruits due to something so minute as a single marijuana experience.

now what is your definition of legalized? I like to think of "legalized" marijuana being sold behind counters at wal-mart in little dime bags. That would be so great

Once it's legalized it'll only be a matter of time before some jew actually goes out and makes the dream happen.

i think there is a good chance that it will be, however it might not be as good as the average stoner makes it out to be. whole communities' economies will be kicked out from under them. growers accumulate where they are persecuted less, like canada, and many places in california. if it were legalized then growing operations would be moved to more fertile outdoor areas, and econcomies (like that of my home in northern california)would have NO means of support. it could cause chaos.
i think it should be legalized. however, it shouldn't be bought or sold, only grown for personal use. if you're too dumb to grow it, you shouldn't get to use it.

I dont think so.. they are going to illegalize alot of minor stuff in some states like salvia and even try to control morning glories... isnt even medical weed about to be illegalized again or something... I heard something about calis laws getting played with. To me it just seems like its gettin worse in a way.

Prohibition is anti-constitutional, that's how they got rid of the alcohol ban. There shouldn't be a bias towards pot.

Australia is slowly moving towards legalization. Some states you can own up to 2 plants and if your caught with a small amount you will just gett a warning or small fine.

I certainly think so. many police in my area just don't give a shit when they see/smell pot anymore because there are bigger fish to fry. How can the government enforce the law if the police are apathetic?

I think it will be legalized in time. I think that eventually more people will come to realize what a lost cause it is and how much of their tax dollars go to the cause. But then again, I believe that an agency or two (such as the DEA and CIA) profit from both sides of the business, both distributing and busting. So maybe their interests will continue to come before ours for a long time to come.

I think it will get to the point where everyone, including police, realize that it isn't an issue to be going to war over and will have other priorities. I don't think the Federal Gov. (US) will ever legalize/decriminalize or take it off schedule I. Too hardheaded.

I care. Although my wife has no problem with me cultivating certain plants, pot is one thing that she won't let me grow. She said she wouldn't care if it was legal.

I think we'll end up with federal medical marijuana that will eventually become like california's in most states where it's no problem to get a card. So it will be technically illegal but functionally legal

The medical marijuana situation in California almosts encourages people to grow. As the years go by here, more and more people grow. All of my neighbors on everyside of me grow legally with their medical marijuana scripts posted on their wall. Eventually it will be legal especially since more and more states are starting this medpot thing. I think we will see a difference. People don't realize the situation out here in california. I mean hell, High Times has trips to Oakland or as they call it "Oaksterdam" haha. I mean LEGALLY with a medical card in Oakland you can grow:
Indoors -- Up to 72 plants with up to 32 square feet of canopy and 3 # dried bud. Caregiver amounts calculated on the above numbers per patient served. Outdoors -- 20 plants at any stage of developmen and 3 # dried bud.

Haha I like the above idea. I really hope it does get legalized but I think one of the only ways it would get legalized is if the government could tax it it, and control it. I really hope some day soon they realize all the money they are spending on the drug war to eliminate pot and keep people in jail for it, is ridiculous.

They are already taxing it with medical marijuana. In mendocino county they want you to buy "plant tags" so you don't go over the limit each tag costing $25. Not to mention the cost for the doctors recommendation, which I'm sure some of it goes to the government.
