Why did you vote no? I just have to know. Was it out of fear?

No, I don't think it ever will. This country has made such a negative image about marijuana labeling it as a "gateway" drug. The commercials of kids being high and being so dazed they run a kid over coming out of a drive-thru or shooting a gun that they think is not real are prime examples of how far the government has gone to make pot look bad. Like someone said, MAYBE they would decriminalize it but NEVER make it legal. In the governments eyes it would just be the next step to making crack legal.

Nah, the U.S. doesnt like the thought of having a drug that can ACTUALLY change a person's state of mind, in such small quantities. Beer for example, takes quite a bit to actaully change the mental state of being. Although, there was a prohibition on that and they removed it. i guess maybe theres hope.
I gotta say, im ok with it being illegal at this point tho, adds to the thrill. if it was legal everyone would be doing it, and it just wouldnt be the same.
im sure ill get some shit for that.

here is why they should not legalize weed

Big tobacco companies like R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris will take weed mass produce it up the fucking ass and make it into total shit

i agree with this person..
but its up to the people and who they vote for and how much people get involved and voice themselfs

I believe it should be legal. I hear ya on the "corruption" tip, but the way I look at it, we'll have options. You can go to the store now and buy factory produced vegetables, or you can go to a farmer's market where private individuals bring their goods to sell. I would hope that if it is ever legalized, it will be on the same level as that. You could run up to the 7/11 and pick up some with preservatives and additives, or you can run down the the local "growers" market and pick up the pure shit. Or hell, GROW YOUR OWN!!!

hope so , like people have said its up to who we vote for and such

holy shit Mayack419, you have a trippy ass avatar



im baked

I dont kno about that, I have a feeling taht if it were to ever become legal in the US, there would be a hell of a tax on it.

I can't feel my face

If it ever is made legal. I doubt they will sell it as they would cigs man. They would allow it to be strictly medical and only. California has the system pretty well covered. They should expand it more. The problem with pot is it effects people differently and people do it to; get fucked up, high, pain relief, medical. Some reasons wouldn't be legit, it fucks some people up to much and they do it anyway. Also if it was made legal, the Cartels and Mafias that bring it in would become those most powerful people on earth.

In the US? Yes most def. Within our lifetimes for sure. Who knows if I will still be puffing at that point, but I will always support legalization.

Actually I don't feel nationwide decrim is to far off. After that its only a small step away.

It really depends on how this next election goes. Vote Democratic. All of the Candidates Dem candidates have a really good stance when it comes to Marijuana. All have stated that they would never use federal troops/powers to arrest MM users. This is a step in the right direction.

Candidates Positions on Medical Marijuana

Biden has the lowest with a B+, most have A ratings.

Legalization will be a process, it won't happen over night.

Essentially, most Americans are realizing its a waste of resources. My city has major issues regarding crack cocaine use, simply put most police feel its a waste of time to arrest marijuana users, they may dump out your bag, but they won't arrest you. I haven't heard of a marijuana possesion charge in my city for years. I've been puffing for almost a decade.

It won't ever be sold like cigs, more closer to the Cali system, without the perscription requirement.

Think about it, more and more Americans smoke marijuana at least once in there lifetimes. Even if some don't enjoy it, how many feel it should be illegal after smoking it. More and more Political candidates are being frank about their usage, Barack Obama in particular is willing to take an honest look at marijuana.

Even nationwide decrim would be a victory. Many American metro areas are going this way already. Of course I'd like to see full legalization, but if its decrimned nation wide I would be happy.

We, as free people, who have freedom, should have the CHOICE to put whatever we choose in our bodies. Now if it DOES fuck you up too much, like alcohol, their will be laws in accordance. Maybe a DWS....driving while stoned. lol But, I want to be able to do whatever the fuck I want to do to my body without the government placing me in jail. Isn't that suppose to be freedom?

Also, the 2 things that have little medical benefit and ARE legal are alcohol and cigarettes. Although they have some medical benefit, marijuana has 100 times that. If you'd like to know most of its benefits Storm Crow made a very useful post of all her marijuana related information.

Here's the link to her thread. Sit there for a couple of days and read it all. EVERYTHING.

i sure as hell hope not,,,otherwise id lose alot of money

itd be cool, but like you guys said, too many politic/corporate bullshit. the herb is too free and liberating for the powers at be to legalize it....people might actually think for themselves instead of echoing the monotone feed of media/society.

im gonna go with the rouge..maybe someday when all of the old bullshit dies off and changes. then again at that point there might not be civilization..hard 2 say man

donny

i think one day it will and the government could make so much money with the taxes on it and besides how many stoners go and rob banks only thing they r robbing is the cubbords maybe a vending machine look at all the deaths and crimes caused from alchohol and ciggerettes are legal and 3600 ppl die a die from them no reported death caused from weed its an herb its put on this planet for a reason and also our trusty 1st president used to grow it legalize it america its pointless having it illegal worry about the worse drugs not some stoner on his couch ripping a bong and eating doritos

FUCK SPEED.........SMOKE WEED!! =)

i i think it will be legalized. it's to a point where just about everyone has tried it. there are politicians are publicly against it, but they do it in the "closet". drug testing can be dodged easy with other drugs. thc lasts so long. that is what the drug tests test for. my point in that is to many people own investments in the manufacturing companies that manyfacture the tests. legalization would put those companies out of bidness'. that's just one obsticle. the culture is growing rapidly. growing is enjoyable. tasting different strainds is hitting like wine tasting is to wine conisures. head shops, cafes, hemp products, accessory manufacturing, these are things that i think will be realized as big bidness' when it catches on. i think it will be at large real sone.

sorry for the babbling and spelling

yes i do beleive it will be legalized
it is jus like porbiation and i am impressed that our freedom fighter have not drawn blood in time after waiting it out we can be free of discrimination.

i thjought alot about it after mlk day people no longer judge as much from religon skin or watever but now they judge by your choices or beliefs its a real shame

Wholeheartedly agreed!

Sup dudes. I see this thread is a few months old. Sorry if I bring it up.

I vote yes. The legalization of marijuana would have to be step by step. First--Will be the decriminalized of marijuana. Such people as Obama and Edwards have stated in there candidacy. Then, when seen no harm done and unfortunately, ignorant people still need more tests about marijuana potential. Sooner or later (Hopefully in my lifetime) will be legalized.

I vote yes. Watching this from the late 60's until today it's moved toward legalization inch by inch the entire time.

All it would take right now is for smokers to represent a solid block of voters large enough to help get a politician elected.

Say, if 25 million smokers banded into something like the "cannabis league of voters" and represented campaign funds and 25 million solid votes to swing behind candidate pot would be legal real fast.

Right now here in Ri they are considering raising the legal Poisson amount. However, i believe it will take some time before it is entirely legal
