Legalization of Marijuana Debate
    #8189282 -

so how do you feel about the legalization of marijuana. Not just medicinal. I'm talking you could go to Wal-Mart and buy a pound of the purp....ummmm

but really I'm not just saying potheads post here saying "legalize it". Details.

I personally believe marijuana should be legalized and cigarettes should be illegal. I love me a Newport don't get me wrong, but they are addicting and kill us. Marijuana on the other hand may be psychologically addictive but not physically. Taxing pot will send the governments revenue skyrocketing.

On the other hand it will send harder drugs on the streets revenues rise as well.Your dope dealer will become your coke dealer....ya know. But fuck it you make your own decisions.


so i say......  :thumbup:

Not so sure on that. If you read up on Amsterdam (the ultimate case-study thus far for decriminalization) you'll find that soft drug use is at comparable or lower levels with other European countries even though pot is legal.

When it comes to legalization, I favor the legalization of all drugs, backed up by the introduction of the availability of uncompromised, comprehensive drug education and information, over a staggered length of time. One thing at a time. Decriminalization is a nice first step, nothing more.

Hopefully Barney Frank's new initiative picks up some steam.

think again. If Obama gets elected president you may see some unusual changes....If he doesn't get assassinated first.

As the question has not aroused there is some speculation that he considers legalizing marijuana a way of stabilizng economy.

How can we not legalize it?!? There are 1.2 million non-violent drug offenders in prison in the U.S, the majority of whom are there for cannabis. That means 1.2 million people are locked in cages and working for slave-like non-wages, just for using and selling chemicals which our government doesn't sanction, none of whose legalization could possibly have a more devastating effect on Americans' health and safety than alcohol, tobacco, and junk food.

Not to mention, the U.S. government has allied itself many times in our history with international drug syndicates for profit, and is probably doing so right now. The CIA introduced crack cocaine to America's ghettos and profited from it, and now private companies profit from gov't. contracts to build prisons to house all the addicts.

So...I am strongly in favor of legalization of cannabis. And everything else.

You still get it easily enough now don't you? The illegality of pot doesn't really prevent the people who want it from getting it.

People who have lived with marijuana prohibition (i.e. all of us) won't have any problem with not smoking pot in front of family, or just "willy nilly"

imho

That stigma you're referring to will still exist even when pot is illegal. It will take a couple of generations for all that to go away completely.

When i think that simple possesion of pot is punishable by prison time really leaves me confused. It really lacks any reason to me. I believe in the legalization of pot...not so much for the "harder" drugs(coke meth etc). Sure i believe that people should have the right to do with their bodies what they please... but i feel like in order to decriminalize or legalize something, one must weigh the harm to society or people if it is legal or if it is illegal. With pot i think there is obviously far more harm done to people via the legal repercussions

just my 2 cents

legalize it all. if you wanna do it, do it. it should all be available from certified dealers. quality control is definately important. you need to know what youre getting about how much you are getting.

if you get hooked on meth and do something stupid when youre high, youll still be punished for doing whatever it was that you did.

All plants legal. It's a total absurdity to make a crime out of interacting with another life form. As long as certain plants and other natural life remain illegal I will continue to consider modern human societies that uphold this law to be unintelligent.

I think cigs should stay legal also. I think that if marijuana were legalized you would see a huge number of people stop smoking tobacco all together. I know thats what would happen for me anyways.

I believe in the decriminalization of Marijuana. It's true a staggering amount of people are put behind bars for Marijuana related charges.
Personally, I could care less if you sit in your house and cache a bowl. I have seen friend's lives rocked by Marijuana charges, the repercussions go far beyond simple incarceration.
It's an interesting story of how drugs became illegal. Basically, we can do nothing but, blame ourselves! It is "us" (Society) that has banned every single drug there is.

Take Cocaine for example, back in what the 30's-40's (correct me if I am wrong I do not have that paper in front of me) you could find coke in everything from soda to children's cough medicine.
You would not believe how much racial discrimination played a part in making marijuana and coke illegal.
Both Coke and, Marijuana were thought to give African Americans "Super-Human" strength and they were "raping" white women.
Among others was the thought that the depression was due to society's decline because of drugs.
I wish I could post some of the crazy stories that were posted in the newspapers from that era.

Basically, Marijuana and Cocaine have a fine line between use and abuse. The fact that uneducated decisions lead us to where we are it will take some education on the subject of "controlled-substances" to get us back on an "even" path.
