i think its reatarded that in many states of the U.S. it is illegal to smoke weed.
marijuana has been proven to be a lot less dangerous the alcohol. And it isnt physically addicting like cigarettes are. Cigs have nicotine, marijuana doesnt have nicotine.
its expensive shit, i agree. but getting arrested for it while you payed like $300 bucks for an ounce. thats ridiculous. you dont even get your money back. screw the money. what about the rest you haven't smoked yet?
I mean seriusly who would you rather see in jail? A child murderer that made the lives of many families miserable.. or a pothead that did nothing but just sit there and smoke some plant, that caused no harm to any other living thing?
or ask a cop who they rather deal with. this dipsomaniac with atleast an 8.7 alcohol level all crazy and uncontrollable or the pothead. whos just all high.. and can't even stand up straight.
your rights should end when it envolves messing with someone else's lives. but smoking weed wont bother anyone else. then why prohibit it?

It's ruined my brother's life so no. I don't think it should be legalised. It's just stupid.

[Innamorata]

No, I don't want people smoking around me.

[bitethepeach]

I think it should be legalised, not just because I enjoy it but then they'd have the chance to put an age restriction on it. Loads of minors start smoking weed because they know they won't get ided, and end up getting themselves in dangerous situations from drug dealers. I also know from experience that drug dealers take advantage of young kids and gradually get them on stronger stuff like coke, which wouldn't happen so much if weed was legal. Also, the government could control what goes into it, because the stuff you get from dealers is sprayed with fibreglass. It could also stop so many people from smoking skunk, which is stronger and much more dangerous.

Marijuana is physically addicting, it does have WORSE effects then Cigarettes and in actuality there are very few true studies on it because most Marijuana users don't enter into rehab.

[bitethepeach]

Yeah to be fair four spliffs is the equivelant of smoking a twenty pack of cigarettes. But it is no worse than alcohol and much safer if legal.

It's a natural plant that grows in the dirt.
Do you know what's not natural?
80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That's not natural.
But we got pills for that.
We're dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,
but we're putting people in jail for something that grows in the dirt?

You know we have more prescription drugs now.
Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad.
I can't watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases.
Like: "Do you ever wake up tired in the morning?"
Oh my god I have this, write this down. Whatever it is, I have it.
Half the time I don't even know what the commercial is:
people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
I'm like that is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.

mind if i ask how?

[xMissIzzyx]

I've known Danny for ages n can understand why Shane would think that tbh.

I think weed should be legalized cos of everything peach said. It's not healthy n stuff but then my mother smokes more than twenty fags a day. I enjoy it n I won't deny that but a lot of kids get themselves in stupid situations with dealers etc, and get in with dangerous groups of people who won't do them any good.

Plus there's harsher stuff such as skunk etc, which peach also mentioned, n fucking fibreglass, that's just ridiculous. My ex got some weed which was laced with coke and fuck knows what else but he went fucking crazy on the shit.

I dunno tbh, I think it'll take a long time and a lot of persuasion to make it become legal. It might help get kids off it though because they never get questioned, a lot of them do it secret and if age restrictions were applied and it became legal, kids would lose interest.

No way, I think it's just gonna get people into trouble and hooked. I think people should take care of themselves more and the more drugs illegal the better.

Let point something out. If it's illegal, it's probably illegal for a good reason. If it was good for you it would be legal. No it should not. I've seen how weed affects people and it is not good. It also smells gross.

Is alcohol good for you? No. Is it legal? Yes.

What about cigarettes, fast food, painkillers?

That's incredibly ignorant.

[Fez]

No No No No No!!! >_<
weed thay let it be legalized.
in some states its already legal... screw florida

[arcticbliss]

I am not a weed smoker at all.

But I think it should be legalized as it is less harmful than cigerettes.

Just my two cents.

Its only legal in certain quantities though, there is a scope of definition for Alcohal here in the U.S. But you are right because that scope only applies to public situations and not on your own property. Pain Killers over a certain level are illegal here, Tylenol III is a prescription and its one of the most prescribed low level Pain Killers around. Fast food is steadily starting to get against the law, they enacted certain laws in New York that prevented certain kinds of fat known to cause heart problems in fast foods. Not to mention they are starting to ban words that cause racial issues and in Michigan to help stop smoking and pay for "rehab" for smokers they raised the tax of cigarettes to I think it was close to %50 I was paying almost 8 bucks a pack when I lived in Michigan.

there has been very few studies on it, but one of them proved that marijuana infact kills off cancer cells. And another thing. People dont make weed in a factory or go buy OTC drugs to cook it up in their basement. Its natural. The side effects of man-made perscription medications are sometimes far worse than the effects of Smoking weed. And im in total agreement with BiteThePeach. If we made it legal, there can be age restrictions. With it being illegal, anyone can do it whenever. My parents did it, and said i couldnt. I found that hypocritical being theres no age limit on it. And also it being illegal. And Hell, the govnt would make a killing off the taxes.

The only reason that its not legal is because the govnt is afraid the mindless people that work for a living and pay taxes will start smoking weed and get lazy and not work anymore. Hence, the government loses money. So, is it for your health that they make it illegal? Surely not. Alcohol and cigarettes are legal. And alcohol, which in my opinion is the worst, is advertised on TV. So obviously they dont care if they are advertising alcohol use and killing your liver. (or potentially someone else)
