Just some discussion on why we should or shouldn't legalize Marijuana aka weed.
i think if you were to keep weed illegal you would also have to make tobacco and alcohol illegal, because they all affect you, and i would say that tobacco and alcohol are even worse for you. and if it was legalize it could easily pull this country out of its economic problems.
a couple of weed articles that i found through google, most are non-bipartisan

does no one want to talk about, i'd hope people on this forum weren't afraid to talk about taboo things
if you know nothing about either side, then i would like for you to answer my question is: If you had to vote to legalize it or keep it illegal which would you do?

 

I know you're fairly new here, but just to let you know, this has been discussed many times over. You can do a search for it if you want. There are people on both sides here...many smoke it and many don't.

And most subjects have been discussed...there's not much that doesn't get talked about here.

 

legalize it

 

they should made it legal, think of the taxes and the jobs it would make.. and before anyone makes the statement that the roads will full of pot heads..they have been out there since the 60s.

 

were you old enough to drive in the 60's??

 

:?( I don't often agree with Alabamajim, but I'm with him there, and I got my driver's license in 1958. :?

 

Some time ago a survey asked whether the people of Amsterdam would consider driving in the city while stoned? A significant number answered that they would only consider driving in the city if they were stoned.

I'd be happy to see the government do away with mandatory minimum sentencing in drug cases and the release of all non-violent drug offenders for a start. It was a sad day when the feds took discretion out of our federal judges hands in this so called 'War on Drugs".

 

Once upon a time in 1776, Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana, and this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty, at least for the rich, white gentry. As time marched along, this plant that I refer to has been used for everything, from medicine to the American flag. And now it seems to me that somewhere along the way, things got messed up. Well some say a conspiracy of the petro-chemical and pulp-paper industries combined to kill the competition. Government hysteria, monopoly and conflict of interest, with total impunity. If you don’t buy the conspiracy, just look at the reality that your tax dollars go to spray poison on the fields of a farmer in South America. And as an added bonus, your neighbor might be the proud recipients of that poison weed. Reefer madness, chronic sadness, what is the half-life of bad propaganda? Policies fail, denied bail, you made him a demon now pay for his prison. Hired to promote the status quo, but what is the shelf life of bad legislation? The hypocrite smirks, it’s a moral disgrace. As he reads from a law that was written about the same time that he had his last original thought. Well the man said he was dying, and the nausea and the pain left him wasting away and unable to keep a meal down. So he tried everything a prescription could obtain, but to no avail. The side effects were worse than the pain. So now he breaks the law to use the one thing that seems to help him out. And the people say, "Oh he's just getting high". Marijuana, a gift from the gods to my brothers and me. Now the government wants to test when I pee.

 

excellent piece zipper.

 

I'm walking the fence on this one. I work for people that have illnesses and if marijuana would help them, I say go for it. But I know how out of hand these things can get.

 

legalize, regulate, tax

we should legalize MJ

 

lol word.

I think it should be Legalized but its very sad to say that I dont think it will happen anytime soon. The goverment has processes and has to pass bills and shit through the states. I toke up alot lol, and it doesnt hurt anyone, you cant OD on it, you cant die, it doesnt cause cancer or even effect your motor skills. You just get the Munchies haha.

 

Legalize it and tax the heck out of it.
