This issue has reached critical mass. The government cant stop it. So they had better deal with it or get hit by the bus. Same goes for parents, keep your kids away from alcohol, tobacco, and weed or reap the consequences. Anyway the purpose of the government is not to baby sit kids, of any age. 1-100
Taxation is the wrong reason for legalization. How many voters have lost their rights over felony marijuana convictions in the last 70 yrs. , & how has this effected the political policies of our country ? Who's Opinions have been stifled ?
Mj should be legalized, the benifits far outway any harmful sides. It helps my hearing so much that I swear I can hear my nieghbor talking 50 yards away like she is standing right next to me. Amazing stuff THC be.
Alcohol turns my father into a fear mongering demon. So i know that its time for marijuana to be legalised, as he is so brainwashed by propaganda, that he would never accept it unless it was legal. Which is a sad way to think. Considering marijuana is the plant of peace, and alcohol is the drink or war, and rebellion.
@Shroctopus I agree. Its sad that some people can let the government dictate their morals when really, the morals of the people should be reflected by the government. If marijuana was never made illegal, nobody would think its bad, but the illicitness of the substance is the only reason people see it in the way they do.
@vtguy429 In other words, people are sheep. Its funny to me how these people think they have the right to decide the freedoms of others...even when such freedoms dont affect them at all. The whole "you cant smoke cause my kid might" argument is as fallacious as it is disgusting.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, parents should talk to their kids more.. this complaining about such a thing of " my kid may ..." if you want to educate them do so let them chose when they turn 18 ...alcohol is legal and they still have trouble controlling the abuse .. so the same thing is bound to come about in some fashion though i do not know of any statistic of pot that show its worse then alcohol and or cigarettes combined.
lol, religious leaders & rich bureaucrats against it? hmmmm that's new!
the most intelligent people against it! of course! the fat bureaucrat who has half of it's brain destroyed by drinking while working! how are not we gonna trust them!
Cannabis prohibition has NEVER WORKED! & Destructivly interupts innocent,positive,peacful citizens lives! WHAT! people cant be happy,positive, peacful about cannabis! IF PEOPLE CAN"T BE HAPPY then crime rate & criminal socializm rate go's up! YET all the people wanted in the first place was to be happy & innocent! & peaceful! WE FUCKING PAY OUR TAXES! & we are forced into a life of criminal socializm & jail because we choose to explore our own positive personal life choices! THIS IS SICK!
If pot is illegal, then we should outlaw, tobacco, alcohol and coffee. The old school way of thinking has destroyed our economy, got us in two wars and is destroying the very fabrick of our culture. Get a clue, their morality is killing them, and they don't see it!
Talki about a price to pay... there is no goddamn price to pay... this herb has been scientifically proven to be less harmful than both tobacco and alcohol or even absolutely harmless, and PEOPLE ARE GONNA USE IT ANYWAY!!
If anyone has read the story behind why it was made illegal, then you would ask yourself: "how can some people today be so stupid as to acknowledge what the media, and stupid politicians are saying, over SCIENTIFIC FACTS??"
campaign to legalize didnt respond to a request for an interview?? someone was asleep at the wheel!
And I dont know WHY THE FUCK all these cops and bible thumpers point to alaska as an example.. it was DECRIMINALIZED not legal, you could not go to a store and buy it there.. that is legalization. Cali already has decriminalization and de facto legalization thru it's easily accessible medical program so these cops are all beating a dead horse here.. the new law would just add tax dollars is all.
You prevent abuse the same way you do with booze and cigs but it doesn't work regardless if anyone wants something in this country they can get a hookup for it even if its cig or heroin.
I know 13 year olds who smoke more then a pack a day but keeping cannabis illegal just makes it even easier for younger people to get it
advocating the imprisonment of fellow citizens for using a plant safer than any other substance known to man doesn't really seem like taking the moral high ground to me. idk what morals these people have but maybe they should spend a few months in jail, get raped a few times, and see how they feel afterward? morals.. pfft
...or see the amount of decent working people who were arrested for a little pot or a joint. The decent, working, taxpaying people deserve better, and have overpopulated many jail cells. I was once a victim of our laws, I too know this to be true.
Fucking ignorant people piss me off! Go do some research about cannabis, maybe even try it, and then they'll see how stupid and "sleazy" their answers really are.
word im sick of people on the news making a joke of it. they also make it seem like its addictive. its not. i smoke and somtimes ill stop for a few weeks and ill ddo it again. and the stupid "gateway dug" thing is retarted. never have i been smokin and said "im gunna go buy some crack"
How is it "sleazy" to end prohibition? You know what is sleazy! All the damn people dying in Mexico because of our backwards policies! No one complains about all the stupid liquor stores on every street corner or the pain clinics pumping out harmful opiates, cannabis is a safe alternative to alcohol, we need to end prohibition NOW!!!!
It's just terrible to know all of these years almost all, well atleast the reasons of why it was "illegal" WERE ALL LIES!!! Not only can they never sustain a lie like that! Whomever!!! cannot make up for it either! All the lives interupted destructivly & pure negativity caused by prohibition of cannabis! Not to mention OUR ILL should have had access long ago! JUST SICK! Whomever is against marijuana! is sick or un educated! Thus promotes negativity to grow! among all the lives around us! SICK!
Legalize = abuse, seriously where do people get this from? For many decades prohibition of marijuana has proven it self useless, will legalization prove it otherwise? lol, could prohibition have gone that far, as to push a mentality on people that says everything legal is ok... TO ABUSE?!
You tell your kids that you should NOT want to alter your brain, but if you INSIST, as almost ALL kids do, you tell em to smoke week rather than drink or do any other drugs. U tell em they wont run the risk of being raped or die of an overdose like ALCOHOL or legal prescription meds. If they want to feel good, STOP at smoking weed. No need to go for stronger substances like ALCOHOL, they can get ALL their pleasure from a simple sticky plant.
"If it's legalized, how do you prevent the abuse?". Again, how do we prevent the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, guns, cigs...??? Come on, you don't prevent abuse by prohibition!!!!
ROFL How is it going to be kept from my children?!?!? OH NOZ!!! lmfao what is stopping your children form buying it now? Drug dealers dont ask for a drivers license. how the hell can you control the use of something that isnt regulated and taxed? like catapault penguin said Common sense apparently is not so common any more. Peace
i cant beleve the dumb asses in this country . what are they thinking.wher do we draw the line on beer/wine/guns/cellphones&driving/over spending/takeing careof other countrys before takeing care of ares first.where does this come into play? now that we can help are own pepole.they want to draw a dumb ass line. now where selling guns to 3ed wourld countrys that hates us how stupid is that now where the line.
pot dont kill....!!!!!!!!!! thats the bottem line.
how do you prevent abuse?!?!?!?!? it is easier now to get it then it would be legalized stupid bitch there are sooo many reasons to legalize why is this such a hard thing?? one of the largest arguements should be that it gets it out of childrens hands and out of drug dealers profits stupid ppl
U keep it away from kids because now u have to use a ID to get it, anyone ever seen a criminal asking for age or a ID card?
Ohh people can be so ignorant, and those religious people that oppose legalization make me sick, they just follow the stupid sh*t that there church tells them.
@legi0naire i agree with you about the Church going people. Here in west texas they seem occult. if your not one of them you are looked down upon. if they truly beleived in a god ; why cant they see the awesome plant he made for us to smoke/vaporize?
The same way you prevent the abuse of chocolate. Educate the public to make better choices, not ban it. Almost everything has the potential of abuse, why ban only weed when in comparison it healthier than what's already legal.
if you think marijuana should remain illegal you are a communist.

I hate when they talk about usage as a BAD thing..
It would be one thing if the obesity rate skyrocket, academics fell sharply, crime rate wen't up drastically, IQ'S became embarassingly low..
But I can gaurantee you NONE of these things happened..
Using USAGE alone as a proof that legalization is bad, is poor logic.
They go on the assumption marijuana is 100% bad, so they spout it off, and expect us to agree.
