Do you think weed will ever be legal?


State why or why not

i think it will be, but when? i dont know
hopefully in my life time

i think it will get legalized because they will finally realise that it does no harm to people

__________________

In America? Never.

They are too fixated on trying to control everyone there, by that I mean giving drug tests when no needed and doing testing in some schools.

I think the people will end up losing control before it is legalized there.

Maybe when the dinosaur politicians die off, some younger ones from this generation will come through and changes might take place, but in the next 50 years or so, I just don't see it happening.

Yes, I think in Europe as well. There's generally more relaxed attitude towards weed in Europe compared with say a decade ago, I think legalization is just a matter of time.

/L.

In USA....obviously it will be eventually. Money is a pretty good motive for any type of government.

i think it will but when is the real key

and they do realize it is harmless, the government want to protect people has nothing to do with it being illegal.

I agree with Lada, it won't be too long until the legalisation of weed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though.

in england we av a stoner that wants to be prime minister, david cameron. thats wat i call a good start

The next president might be a black man so there is hope, then again it might be a woman. They wont even let you smoke it if your married to them which is why I am not. I hope no-one thinks I'm being sexist, just a bit of light humour, I feel I have to say that just in case I start a flame war.

I see decriminalization happening within the next 10-15 years, but legalization? No, not for a looong time.

It's already decriminalized in a lot of places, and there have been a few cities taking a stand, and calling marijuana lowest priority, such as Hollywood and Colorado. In Hollywood I'm comfortable enough to smoke in public, even in cop busy neighborhoods. In California, and I think 11 other states, medical marijuana is legal. When I buy weed, I get to go to a club, pick my strain of bud out of many, I can buy hash, keif, edibles..etc. As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be legal. It will be someday.

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

i want it to but i voted no. if it does though it will be a LONG LONG time from now.

explain why would it be a LONG LONG time from now?

State wide I'd say in the next 10 years in a lot of states. Federally, I have no idea. If you're in the west you have a pretty good shot of seeing it legalized. Places like CA, OR, WA, AZ, CO, and NV. These states have a libertarian leaning you don't find in the east nearly as much. Generally speaking; they're not fond of the government telling them what they can do. It all relates back to the old days when settlers moved out here for mining, religious persecution, and farming cheap land.

the government has painted itself into a corner. even if they were willing to relinquish that much of their control, they have spent far too much time and money demonizing weed for outright legalization. the best that can be hoped for in the foreseeable future is legalization for medical use (Rx required). to admit the deceptions of the past would expose the power hungry the kind of scrutiny they cannot afford.

No. A huge portion of our system is built upon jailing it's citizens for building more government.
These laws have nothing to do with keeping you safe, but to build system where you single out what the population wants, alcohol, tobbacco,pot, make it illeagle, then you need proscuters,lawers,judges,counseling services,jails,then those lawers become judges, they become politicians, then they start getting lobbist moneys from Coors, Budwieser, cotton industry, plastics, wood, all to give more money to keep it ileagle!!
Even taxing it, they would lose so much corrupt income.

Hell go read CatherinAustinFitts book (for free)Dillon Read & the Aristocracy of Prison Profits it's all there and how long it's gone on. The eye opening for me was just startling!!

I think it could become legal, but the catalyst would be another great depression, Thats what made alchohol legal after the temperance societies got it outlawed. Economic need will always usurp the morals of a society. Right now in our sea of wealth it is not neccesary to legalize marijuana and tax the fuck out of it, in fact we have so much money that we can spend billions of dollars fighting a futile war against it, but with our enormous war debt, china's premminance as a world power, and that fact that we're due for a crash as it seems our cycles flow i think that within the next 15 yrs I would not be suprised to see it legalized to bail the govt. out of some serious hock.
--Sorry I'm a finance nut-----

I believe that it is a very big possibilty. if we all did our part to help it could be done. Things have been changing alot in our beautiful country lately. such as all the bills that have been passed to help medical marijuana, and states setting marijuana as a low priorety defense.

Yes. Empires fall, and cultures change. A hundred years ago concepts like women's suffrage, racial equality and widespread tolerance of homosexuality were utterly scandalous. Nobody knows what the cultural climate will be like a century from now, but I think it is inevitable that this arbitrary cultural assumption will eventually change.

Lazy smoker7 loves to smoke weed
****Legalize it****

Hell no! I think it will be less of a priority. With the development of stronger and harsher drugs we as a people will see its innocents. Not enough to where its excepted into the constitution but enough to where smoking in a safe environment wont bring droves of DEA agents to the crib.
