i vote for it to remain illegal...
i mean look at how much more it will cost if it becomes legal?
plus MTV and eveyone will be trying to get in on it, and the whole thing quality wise will go down couple notches..
just keep it the way it is..
plus hippies will have nothing to protest about on 4/20
edit// well here in vancouver, you can smoke it anywhere and the cops wont give two s so i may not be speaking for everyone. |

I really don't think people have truly thought it all the way through.
Would you be comfortable having a pilot flying your plane after he just smoked a bowl? Would you think it is safe for people to be blitzed while driving (and please don't give me the "I drive better stoned" ... ok maybe you do :rolleyes: but not everyone does.)? Would you be ok with half baked morons wandering around, and not paying attention to what they are doing all the time?
MOST of the population has a requirement to be productive in someway for a majority of their waking time. Either a job, or schooling usually.
Weed really doesn't do much to perpetuate productivity - in fact it usually severely hinders it. Now the gov't certainly can't force people to only use it during their off-time if they choose to make it legal. This will put the society at risk for stoners all over feeling comfortable enough to blaze at any time, including during the hours in which they should be productive. Put two and two together... you get a lot of people not doing all, or you get a lot of rules from institutions stating that it is banned anyway.
Since we don't really have a proper way of testing the level of intoxication from THC (like a breathalyser for alcohol), there will be mandatory drug testings, and things like driving under the influence cannot be monitored much at all.
Not to mention that weed isn't as "clean" as it once was. Weed can really you up these days... and not in a good way.
Sure, legalizing it and letting the gov't control it could change that... but then you have companies adding to it to make it addictive, or taxing the hell out of it, or putting specific requirements on it... blah blah blah.
This is a hindrance more than it is a benefit. The cons in my opinion seriously outweigh the pros to actually legalizing it.
At this point, people smoke it anyway if they really want to, and most don't get caught, or if they do, it's a warning or a small fine. At least with it not being legal, people are taking precautions by not being ed off their asses when they shouldn't be.
P.S. THC isn't as harmless as a lot of people like to think. |

Are you ing retarded? Alcohol is legal but its illegal for them to drink before flying. Same rules would apply for pot. Its illegal to operate any vehicle while intoxicated.
Now shut the up. Jesus you are a tard. |

+1 ing stupidest post I have ever seen. I'm sorry but any argument where you could substitute weed for alcohol is automatically invalid.

She is like a dog that humps your leg. Doesn't matter how many times you try to kick it off, she keeps coming back. I really wish she would off. Not only for that post, but for every single one she makes. |

FIXED imo
I like how your post has wild and or stupid claims and then ends with something post script that might actually be mildly intelligent. |

You know; if you're gonna go on a rant about something you better be fairly familiar with it. |

You know why its automatically invalid because you dont have an argument for it......how is it safe for people to go about their everyday lives while drunk out of their minds and not know what happened last night while when your stoned your completely conscious.....and know whats going on.....I ing smoke everyday almost and not just one spliff or two I literally smoke up to 4-6 a day no jokes.....But yet I carry on with my life and go to work and school ....I drive most of the time when im high and yes its a fact that I drive better when stoned but when not i drive fast and over speed cut lanes like in a high speed chase.
Weed > Alcohol in many ways and will be regardless. |

We have laws restricting drunk driving, flying, and boating. Why can't the same be done for marijuana? Who cares if someone is half-baked? If they aren't a danger to you, you shouldn't care. Productivity-wise, are people showing up drunk all the time to work? Maybe in a very VERY few cases, but the majority of people know they should not show up to work drunk or high. Productivity will not fall. Alcohol and cars have been around for more than 100 years. Were there breathalyzers back in the 1920's, 30's, 40's etc.? No. Technology will quickly meet the demand for a device which detects marijuana on the breath or something of the sort. Marijuana is stronger today of course. But as with any cash crop, it is in the growers best interest to grow the best plant possible. No one's adding angel dust to weed for god's sake...
A lot of people, particularly the conservative kind, are scared by too many assumptions about marijuana. It's just my belief that a lot of these assumptions have no basis behind them. Is it bad for the lungs, yes. Does it impede motor skills, yes. But like the substances which are legal and used by many people, there are laws to curtail the possibility of danger caused by the drug, such as intoxicated driving.
You also have to think about the criminal element of the drug trade. Because marijuana is illegal, it is sold by black market drug dealers. Now, in many cases, drug dealers are not only selling marijuana, but also cocaine, or meth, or whatever. This helps the DEA assertion that marijuana is a "gateway" drug, when it really is not. Also, people die from the commerce of illegal drugs, when cartels or gangs battle for territory. It is just much better for society to be open and free about marijuana. Keep fighting against the hard drugs though... |

i don't really care if it's legalized or not. even if it stays criminalized it's not going to stop me from smoking, seriously :p
i do things based upon how i view them, not based upon the opinion and legality instituted by a couple of guys sitting behind a desk.
based on personal experience, i have had nothing but fun and peaceful times with friends who have been high, i can't say the same for when they're drunk. i'm pretty sure a number of people here can say the same thing. |
