Should USA legalize Marijuana?

Yes 204 72.86%
 
No 76 27.14%
 
Total:280

I smoked for about 15 yrs straight. The potency here in Trinidad however is pretty weak compared to what ya'll have so I can't boast about it.

That part of my life is done and dusted now and I've pretty much stopped, save for a random 'tap' here and there. No harm in that at all.

i've had some nice green recently,

i can't think of a better way to boost the economy than legalise recreational drugs,i just don't get the beef with them,tax the stuff and people will spend more on other things too,i'm sick of having to buy it off deadbeat wankers

why do they always bring up teenagers,i couldn't give a f*ck about teenagers,i'm old and tired and just want to buy a smoke from a normal bloke in a f*cking shop so i can watch a movie and go to sleep,when you don't know people, england is a real bitch for smoke

What kind of penalty would someone recieve in England for possesion of under an ounce? 


nothing,probably just a fine and they take it and smoke it or sell it on,sorry i mean burn it in the police boiler room

of course it depends what your history is and if you are seen to be dealing,but the police shoudl be worrying about worse things than whether we are having a smoke or not,i just don't get it,busting down peoples dorrs in raids for weed and pollen is aabout as pointless as it gets if you ask me

although i never got fined when i was younger and living in london the police would just take what you have and move you along like a naughty little boy,it was very annoying when you had just scored some northern lights or something,very annoying,i used to live in north london sometimes you'd jsut be unlucky if the coppers fancied a smoke and thought you might have some,they were usually right >_>

i'm not a big smoker anymore but i do like a joint and glass of red or a nice beer and a movie or whatever,everytrhing in moderation these days

The poll is still looking pretty good in favor of marijuana with 39 votes for and only 12 votes against. I would really like to hear the reasoning for the people that voted no. I suppose I could go back through this thread and reread a few of the posts that were anti-marijuana although I've probably heard all the bullshit reasons before... I believe the other side has piss poor argument for debate and I am surprised that it has taken so damn long to make progress for the safest drug on the planet. I believe we have multiple forces working against us including the paper, cotton, lumber, prison, and many more industries. To have marijuana illegal only benefits them and once made legal hemp and marijuana would change these industries forever.

I think Seth if you want debate you will have to make a thread like this.

Now that I think of it I probably don't want a "debate" consider it would just be two heads butting against each other (I suppose that is what happens in most debates).  It is almost like me having a discussion about Christianity with a preacher (neither side is going to come out on top).  The only thing our side can do is to keep pointing at the countless studies of the benefits of marijuana while enlightening the haters that they were lied to about most things regarding marijuana.  Most people would rather not change their mind even if they know they are wrong.  They are too stubborn to admit that they were fooled by propaganda and lies.  Going back to religion for one second.  I believe if we can convince the Christians that this is a God plant and not the devil's weed then we can get marijuana legal.  Pretty fucking sad that it would probably take that to make my dream happen.  Waiting for idiots to realize they are wrong will mean that I will be waiting a long time.

That is the main reason I stopped  posting much in political, religous and even most game threads. People have very strong convictions and do not change their beliefs easily. Still with enough effort people can change. But in many cases it is pointless so that is why I mostly post in sport thread nowa days.



Just sitting back about to load a chillum up wondering why the fuck in this day and age we have such terrible laws against the safest drug on the planet. I know various industries want to keep it illegal (cotton, lumber, private prisons, etc..) but you would think that with all the misinformation and lies debunked that it would be legal by now. Funny that everyone likes to prop up the USA as the best when it is obviously not (just consider our terrible political and judicial system). I could go on and on but I'll stop my rant for now till I think of something better to focus my bitching on.  One more thing...  Why the fuck is hemp illegal?  Explain that one to me...



Even though this song is pretty electronic it has a good beat and sounds nice... Funny that it gets confused for being Cypress Hill (vids on YouTube have it labeled as Cypress Hill)... Anyways... My fucking lighter went out before the first chillum was out... So I am off to the store to stock up on smoking supplies. Enjoy the song!



For anyone interested, Germany's Leftist party suggested a bill to (sort of) legalize Marijuhana in Germany:

http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120125-40315.html

The major parties are against it, so I doubt it will get through, but the idea has been tossed around a lot recently. It looks we're on a good way.



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Hemp is legal in most Europeans countries right?
