I have always been on the side that never understood the hatred against marijuana. Everyone knows the reason why it is so shunned is because the government hasn't figured out how to properly generate revenue from it. What makes alchohol alright but marijuana oh so bad?
I love smoking pot, I won't lie to you. One of the things I enjoy it most for is when I need to do work around the house or in the yard. We all know that nobody really enjoys having to do it, but if you smoke a nice bowl before you do it you will be surprised at how much you get done.
As long as someone does it in their own home, at a party, or anywhere that people would otherwise drink, seriously, what is the issue? Ever seen pot heads go at it? I don't, but I sure see drunks lose their cool.
Ever have an awesomely strange conversation about, well, wierd shit? You'll have plenty if you smoke socially.
For the person who brought up the fact that he saw someone laying face down and talking about no air being up top. Marijuana isn't for everyone, just like everything else in existance. It can cause paranoia and for those who already suffer from paranoia it can cause situations like what you saw. |
California has. The state just has to find a way to convince the general public to vote for it.

California has not. They do have medical marijuana, but taxes is not allways payed on that, and if it is its paid as a normal sort of income rate or business tax not a weed tax. A lot of the marijuana is still sold illegaly and they get nothing from homegrowers. The law that passed for medical marijuana use didn't have provisons for any sort of tax for it. What seems to happens is "Medical" dispensaries open up and if a city does not agree with them they take them to court to shut them down or give them a fine for daily operation (was a place around here that paid a 1,000 dollars a day to stay open, shut down now though). I wouldn't look to CA for the answer. I think there are other states that do it better right now.

I'm not talking about for medical reasons. They have found a way to generate billions for the state if it were legalised. The state wants it to be legalised, because it needs the money, they just haven't convinced enough of the general public yet.
