What's wrong with marijuana? I don't smoke anything or do drugs of any sort but I love the smell of weed, especially great weed. Marijuana, as with most other things is just a good thing that has been abused by us as people so why not stop being silly and old fashioned in our views to it and see it for what it is?

In it's very abused state marijuana slows down your mental capacity and some people enjoy that "mellow" feeling when in fact is yuh darn motor skills being slowed down and slowly destroyed. But it's calming, it's a herb that should be used for entertainment like nicotine and not abused like crack and coke and heroin and alcohol. :roll:

But I guess Peter have to pay for Paul and he family and some people need to be regulated on most things in life.

Legalize it and get the tax instead of spending tons of money in fighting it.

Yes, yes, yes, and more yes. We are wasting our time with the criminalization of the use of a substance that is harmless to most users. Some of my best friends whom I have know for years smoke joints the size of cigars. They are among the best professionals and sharpest thinkers I have ever met. And to booth, today they are as healthy as race horses. But again, they are only a few persons I know. Everyone has his own unique experience and reactions to any substance, similar to the use of alcohol.

Alcohol can be more deadly than marijuana though, and all the side issues that come with the consumption of alcohol can have enormous social implications, perhaps less though than the use of marijuana. All those stories we often hear about a few drinks of alcohol being good for you is being disputed today, with claims that they often lead to prostate and breast cancer. Of course, research can prove anything for the right price.

It is time to legalize all recreational drugs, and let adults decide what is best for them, as long as they work to pay for their recreation, do not deprive their families of basic amenities, do not abuse themselves and others, and endanger lives. When they endanger lives, let the law kick in, similar to the way it does with the abuse of alcohol and the resulting problems.

i agree

[littleone]

if it is legalized, how do we go about solving the issue of marijuana that is laced with other substances? many people that have smoked marijuana (or so i've been told) no longer get the same affect and move on to marijuana laced with synthetic drugs.

[vaio]

no i don't agree that it shld be legalized..

ANYTHING can be laced , not just marijuana.

In the case of T'dad, I think its more appropriate to say 'a few people' rather than 'many people'

:oops: this may be a terrible analogy to explain what i mean but it's the only one i can think of right now...
Most alcoholics don't get the same effects from drinking rum as they did a couple years ago, they build a resistance to it so it takes more to get them drunk. A few would go on to drink something stronger, like puncheon,
but the majority would simply increase the amount of rum they drink.

This tread is suggesting that marijuana should be legalized and controlled by govt. That includes controlling the grade and type made available to people, which can be done by the food and drugs inspectors.

check the unca....

[KFCSpicy]

:shock:

[trinibadman]

YES.

it should me legalized for those that are sick and in pain and really need it. it should be legalized for those that are medically eligable.

i heard of a case in which a kid had cancer in canada. he was very sick and had about a month left to live.
his parents tried everything possible to make his pain go away and to get him better. the child wasn''t eating food because he had no appetite and was dying even quicker because of the lack of food. but then a family friend told the father about marijuana and how it may help. the father bout some and secretly gave his son to smoke it. not a lot but enough. the child staring eating properly again and barely had any pain. this child eventually died but the father said that marijuana gave his son a life in his last few weeks on earth and he was able to smile and talk and eat because of it.

What does that have to do with marijuana? Yuh could lace normal cigarettes. Yuh could lace criz crumbs in gazette paper and all.

That is really your point?

Wow.

[vaio]

Nope...!!

I am a total advocate of the legalization of marijuana for persons above the age of 18.

I have been thinking, why all the fuss about marijuana? Why not cigarettes or alcohol? The U.S.A. and its international policy against marijuana has been hard line. This I am thinking is probably why so many Caribbean territories, that are dependent on the U.S.A. for financial support, military defence e.t.c. have refused to legalize marijuana i.e. out of fear of loosing the privileges that the u.S.A. grants them. So why would the U.S.A. adopt such an attitude against marijuana? Probably because the production of it and the whole business of marijuana is so very lucrative and given the climate in the U.S.A. it cannot be grown there and therefore the u.S.A. cannot benefit from the business, so they try to suppress it within their own boarders and outside their boarders.

It is just a thought. What do you think? But then again, how can we truly know for sure?

Most people outside and inside the US do not know that the US used to grow huge amounts of marijuana for rope making in the days of the war. Marijuana stil grows as a wild plant on some of the old fields in Indiana, and have to be weeded out periodically.

Before I knew what a marijuana plant looked like, a friend discovered a huge plant growing in the back yard where I once lived in Chicago. It does not take long for a plant in the yard to mature for consumption after the winter is over.

I am not sure, but I would have to think that the problem of legalization might have to do with access and ease of growing quality marijuana, both inside and outside the home. The best seeds used to be imported from Sweden for indoor growing in the US. I don't know if the Swedes imported them or grew them themselves.

Quality alcohol and tobacco are not as easy to produce as marijuana, and the buzz from them are not the same as from marijuana. In the coldest countries, you can still grow your own inside and outside the home for a yearly supply.

Legalization can be a complex issue, and I would have to wonder about how it can be legalized without all the issues of manpower waste by an all day high in public offices, how it effects family functioning, how the upbringing of children are affected, etc.

But again, human beings are very ingenious, and can find the right conditions under which it can be legalized for removing the criminal element that controls its sale, while at the same time making its use short term and recreational only.
