-- Legalization of pot
Pages (7): « 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7]

Well the dude who grows it in his bedroom will still grow it in his beedroom (and possibly pay 2k to signup as an official business). Just there'll be more like him because they can no longer be arrested for it. IMO "business won't touch it" it bullshit.

Sure, if we're only talking about marijuana.

Indeed. I'd be shocked if people started opening meth or heroin "coffee shops."



I can't imagine society tolerating that, period.

yup your dead. Its was dipped in formaldehyde!

yeah, I think meth and heroin would probably be drugs you get to go. Rather than a coffee shop it would work on a pickup or delivery model more like a Papa John's.

If we can't make it happen in Canada, there's no way it's happening in the states, people are nuts down there.

hasn't it already happened in the states? You just need a doctor to prescribe it for you in California.. they even have a pot vending machine..

i believe theres a huge conspiracy theory behind the legalization of pot.. i mean,, if you legalize one thing you fuck up everything else. (ie.. less dealers= loss of jobs for police)

my two cents

Originally posted by Theresa I have smoked more weed in one year than I would wager some of you have smoked in several years. I was heavily into drugs for a period, so I am not just talking out of my ass. One night I was smoking with some friends who had a very strong strain of weed. I took several hits from the bong, and ended up becoming incredibly incoherent and disoriented. And trust me, it certainly wasn't the first time I had gotten high. (Perhaps you read into what I wrote before and thought that I was having a high similar to shrooms or something?) What I was trying to illustrate was that not all people react the same to chemicals. Apparently that strength of THC really fucked me up, and there was absolutely no way I would have been able to drive, or do much else that would require any motor skills.

Ok fine. So you smoked strong weed. Is it possible that it was laced with something? Because I smoked some laced shit once and I was so fucked for the next 3 hours that I couldn't even walk straight. It was like a mix between being really drunk and really high on K. Very hazy :S

I've never smoked natural pot that put me over the edge. I mean yea, I got extremely high and wouldn't never attempt to get in a car or do anything that requires concentration, but I wasn't dying there.

quote:

So my primary concern is that people will assume that if it is legal, then it is harmless and they are safe to do whatever they want. Without any way of monitoring the levels of THC people are ingesting, and how it is actually effecting their behaviour and response time, I don't think it is really safe.

What about alcohol? Or other medications? Do people just assume that since those are legal then they're harmless and everybody goes driving under the influence?

You act as if people need to be taken care of like little children, and it's the governments job to protect us from ourselves. If pot was legally sold then I'm sure the way it's sold would be different. Things like THC content levels, etc. would be required on the bags so people know exactly what they're taking in.

quote:

THC has the ability to slow your response time, and impairs both judgment and motor skills.

Yea but so what?

quote:

Anyway, can anyone give me any sound reason that legalizing pot would actually be beneficial to society as a whole?

Sorry but that's some communist thinking right there. If it's not good for the State then it must be abolished? First off who decides what's good for society as a whole and what isn't? Pot doesn't make you kill children and rape their mothers. Yes, it's intoxicating and it makes you lazy. Big deal. It's not bad enough that it needs to be illegal, considering that there's much more to marijuana than just getting high.

The way you're acting it's as if chaos will ensue just because pot is legal. Do you really think that pot is so bad for people that they will start going crazy and driving cars into trees/children? If anything it would be the exact opposite. Maybe more people would chill the fuck out.

This is part of the problem. Police departments will fight tooth and nail against legalization of drugs. Police departments have gotten fat off federal anti-drug money, especially all the money they make from property forfeiture laws that allow them to take cars, cash, homes, etc if those items are used in the drug trade. Without all that drug money the sheriffs wouldn't be able to buy all the fancy new toys you always see them with like armored cars, night vision, etc. Plus departments would need less officers because a large percentage of the crimes they deal with are either directly involved with the drug trade or are an indirect result of it (crackhead robs someone or steals a car to get drug money). Legalize drugs and all this goes away.

I've never been arrested and never plan on it. I guess the law sorts everything out and cops get to keep their jobs. If you are wise don't smoke in public, especially in the states... as for mississauga

Yea, but who PLANS on getting arrested?

Originally posted by Gen3r4l1ty Yea, but who PLANS on getting arrested?

hahah, wrong wording.. i meant to say I won't get arrested since i take the right precautions before smoking up.. ( i.e. smoking on my own property)

as long as we share the world's longest undefended border with the US, pot will never be legalized.

decriminalization is more realistic. no jail time for pot.

I'm still waiting to find out what views she posted that I vastly misunderstood or interpreted wrong.



Apparently I have vastly misrepresented her and everything she truly meant to say in this thread, though I guess to me accusations like that carry a lot more weight when you have to justify them rather than just make them and assume you were right.

Oh well.

I think cops realize the futile battle too. Me and a couple friends were surrounded one time in our car while smoking 3 blunts. They tried scaring us by saying we were definately going to jail. I was too stoned to care. They ended up telling us to take our weed back across the bay, they didn't want to see us again, and let us go.
