"in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

Why do I have a feeling it's gonna be really really really close to legalization and than something somewhere's gonna happen and than it's back to felony for small time possession.

People are slowly excepting weed as a mainstream recreation like beer. its time for the laws to catch up with the people.

I live in California and I'm loving it. non-medical pot is still illegal here but unless your holding more than an ounce. your safe. Iv been caught with weed more than once and never charged with possession. there's just to many pot smokers in my city for cops to do anything about it.

It will be legal someday.....until then, be smart about your substance use, and abuse alcohol daily.

The way our government is set up WILL cause weed to (eventually) be legal, just like alcohol and tobacco..

although the federal government is the big brother, and the ultimate gov't in charge, what people seem to forget is that the states run their own show. 50 different states= 50 different ways to make policy. As the person above me said, it seems like each state is becoming more understanding with weed.
One example is michigan, where it's decriminalized. They can't even give you a ticket for smoking (as long as it's less than an ounce).
Another is new mexico creating the licensed pot dispensaries.

It's only a matter of time before more states see the light, and once that happens, the federal gov't won't have any other option but to legalize.

I'd say at least 25% of the kids in my class have smoked, and do smoke, and like it.

Unfortunately, everyone else will do whatever it takes to say that weed is horrible and bad and stupid and bla bla bla..and I ask them why they think this..I ask them what they know about weed..and their response is always the same- nothing.

I did once, and he smoked it, got really high, and doesn't want to do it again.  It's not about making everyone smoke it, it's about making it legal to those who want to.

Oh, I know Pris, Marijuana is not legal anywhere here  in the US right now. However, that isn't my point... my point is the trend. It's certainly a great situation when we've gone from absolute illegalization to legal for medical patients in 13 states, practically legal in at least 3 states (they won't even take your weed in Mass, Cali, and Denver in most cases), growing is legal for medical distributors in plenty of states, and individual towns have passed initiatives making marijuana the lowest on the enforcement list. None of these are full legalization, but they are all steps that carry a greater connotation than the actual text of the law. The connotation is, "We don't really think this is as big of a problem as you believe it to be. Right now, the general public doesn't want it legal, but we don't want it to be any worse than a speeding ticket."

This is a general public of which only 31% of people have smoked weed. However, nearly 2/3 of college students admit to having tried weed. Imagine then what kind of citizens ballot initiatives will pass when we are in power.




So what happened to all those hippies from the 60's.. they helped start all this, but now that there older why hasn't weed become legal yet. :shrug:

I think the best way to get it legal is to over flood communities with the stuff. Its what gives cops that "let him go its just pot" mentality... eventually law enforcement will get completely tired of it. with that and the growing exceptance by citizens, it'll be legal.

Everything that happened in the 60's was reversed with the drug war, with John Walters, our wonderful(not) 'drug czar' (wtf does that even mean??)

All the stupid shit that they show on tv, all the anti-drug campaigns... THAT is what happened to the 60's.

except they take your weed in Mass from what I've been reading, many cops seems to believe regardless of the status of the drug they'll arrest you and let the court system deal with it

in denver it doesnt seem to matter what the voters said either

but the cops have proven time and again, the actual law doesnt
matter, it's what they want to enforce that does so even if
there were full legalization by the states, we'll see more
prosecution under federal law, if under federal law and state
laws it's legal, we'll see city and county ordinances popping
up, and if everything says it's legal from the feds to the city,
it seems the consensus is still arrest the user and let the
courts deal with it

it even would seem that denver has had an increase in marijuana
arrests since it was 'legalized'

QFT, BUT... Think about what government-controlled, legalized weed could do for the economy!

Dude, this 1.2 trillion dollar deficit we're about to be in could be wiped out in a year or so
if MJ was as legal and taxed as alcohol and tobacco.

By the way, Pris, sure... your weed is confiscated sometimes in Massachusetts, but man... the more I read out of that state, the more awesome it seems that law is. Seriously. Public smoking there is now pretty much on par with or less than public drinking. In fact, you get in more trouble smoking a cigarette than you do smoking a joint in public, it seems. That's awesome, and thats how it should be.




I live in Mass and I've recently seen people smoking joints along-side cigarette smokers outside clubs and bars...
Cops just smile when they smell it and walk right by! AWESOME!! :laugh:

probably because a lot of those that were the older generation n
the 60's and 70's arent around any more while those from the
younger generation of that era are around today, many of those
kds did use drugs, I'm sure you'll find that more than half the
people in the US have smoked and that more than half the people
in the US do support legalization but what percentage of those
people are felons because of the drug laws and ineligible to vote

with us, you're preaching to the choir, it takes you and your
friends to do something, your friends have to get up and talk to
their representatives too

i can live with that





you can live with the same penalties that first offenders
usually get anyway, a fine, loss of the weed, possibly a
diversionary program and even probation, something thy do
give on traffic offenses

Ok someone please explain to me the difference between something Decriminalized, and something Legal? WTF is the difference? Lets say congress and GW announced tonight that weed has been decriminalized.....then a friend of mine gets caught with a gram.

Whats gonna happen?

QFT, BUT... Think about what government-controlled, legalized weed could do for the economy!

Dude, this 1.2 trillion dollar deficit we're about to be in could be wiped out in a year or so
if MJ was as legal and taxed as alcohol and tobacco.




absolutely and think about the jobs created both at the
corporate level as well as large and small businesses, if they
packaged it like cigarettes it would mean increased spending on
machinery as well, it can benefit the economy in hundreds of
areas, not just making it cheaper for dope smokers

decriminalised means it's still a crime, that it's still not
actually legal and there will be penalties of all sorts, some
could involve losing your license, habitual violators could face
felonies even for less than an ounce


legal means they cant do anything unless you're driving under
the influence or committing some other crime like stealing a
carton of reefer

If its Decriminalized, would it still be available for mass production and sale? Including tax?

no... it would still be illegal, though some states have imposed
taxes and if you havent paid them then you risk additional fines
and penalties

It's going to happen in the next 10 years, if not sooner.
And with that, comes a lot of other changes.

I don't really see complete legalization happening anytime soon. Although I wouldn't rule it out completely. I think we could see decriminalization to the point where you could walk down a busy street smoking a spliff. Kinda of an Amsterdam kinda situation. I can only hope...    :potleaf:  :gethigh:  :potleaf:

You can check out the statistics here:

http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/factsht/druguse/
Let me spit some statistics and trends to you here...

The following is a percentage of people who have used illegal drugs, the majority of which is Marijuana. This is for EVERYONE older than 12.

The last time this statistic was taken was in 2001.

1978: 31%
1985: 34.4%
1996: 34.8%
1999: 39.7%
2001: 41.7%


So the general age population is growing in admitting that they have used drugs. More people today have used drugs than people in the 70s.

furthermore, check this statistic out... College students that have used drugs... Eventually, you expect the numbers to equalize towards the college student value, because every college student that admits to having used drugs is going to be a "I have used drugs" answer for the rest of their life:

55.6% of college students have used drugs.

Thats why the number keeps increasing. The majority of college students have used drugs for as long as this survey has been out. Eventually, that means that the majority of Americans will have used drugs.

Thats why drug laws are getting more and more lax... the more people that try it, the more people are likely not to demonize others for trying it.




the stat from 2006 in canada says that 52% of people have smoked and either enjoyed or are indifferent. hey wait arent we a democracy. I WANT LEGAL POT!
