Are you for the legalization of Cannabis?

[QUOTE="CrustyFrags"]No.Absolutely not.Cannabis is a weed smoked by infidels.It is a plant that undermines our senses and I think the thought of legalization is psychologically criminal.mephie25

Absolutely. I tolerate cigarettes. Why not?

Says the guy who probably pops Xanex because of all the worry that those scary liberal hippies will come in the night and start a music festival in his back yard. Medically sponsered and perfectly legal addiction. Lol.

[QUOTE="CrustyFrags"][QUOTE="CrustyFrags"] We are not rare thank you... there is many.Weed and your other drugs are detrimental to society, and everything is deserved for what happens to those who intake this depreciating substance.jimmyjammer69

He is a level 2. I thought you had to be level 3 for your opinion to count on GS. :P

i support full legalization. taxation, ending the drug war, reducing gangs are my main reasons for supporting legalization. whereas i think tobacco should be illegal. not really, i believe everyone should do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt others but why is tobacco legal and not marijuana? it's much more harmful.paullywog

agreed.

compared to tobacco and alcohol, marijuana is harmless both in the long term and short term

I will admit that I have experience with people smoking themselves stupid (roommates, specifically), but they quit for like a week and were so sharp and smart lol. They had to smoke a lot to get that stupid too, Im talking like 8 times a day.

I am more for decriminalization of personal possession and personal cultivation, than all out legalization. I have a fairly hefty experience with the substance and as much as it pains me to see people being treated as criminals for such a trivial and petty offense, I do not want to see it mass marketed akin to alcohol and tobacco. People should only use it if they so desire, it should not be all over billboards and adverts being stuffed down the populations throat.

yea I can agree with this.

its like, if you want to grow it and share it, fine, but I dont want to see Camel-brand Reefers in 711, you know?

then again, if it were completely legalized and commercialized, that would be a whole lotta money coming in. Of course, people grow it themselves now anyway and there really is as much weed out there as you want lol

YEa, I am as shocked as you are.

"No, I have seen what pot can do and dont want it legalized" is a good argument

"No, weed is smoked by infidels" or "I like to tell people what to do, and I say they cant smoke pot cuz its a hippie drug" is a bad argument

I really, really hope theyre joking.

...infidels...who seriously uses that word? Well, besides terrorists lol.

[QUOTE="synyster-666"]I'm not for it. I just don't see the point in that stuff. :?_en1gma_

Because if you don't like something or understand something, you seperate yourself from it, and try to force others to do the same.

People forget that in the US, if its a rights issue, while they might not like what they do, they should defend to the death their right to do it.

You need to look objectively at issues like this, not selfishly. Ask yourself these questions:

1. What are the benefits to legalization?
2. What are the benefits to smoking pot?
3. What are the negatives to smoking pot?
4. How would legalization effect me personally?

And after considering all that, you need to weigh an unbiased, objective conclusion that is for the consideration of all your fellow citizens, and not just yourself.

Was that post directed towards me?

i'm not for any recreational drug outside of medical use (not sure if that's implied by medical use) but i dont see anything wrong with its legalization if the right guidelines are followed. How potent is this drug anyway? if it's strong enough to make people go high and crazy, i dont support its legalization. but i doubt it would be legalized if it werent safe (or as safe as beer or smoking), so if it's legalized, its reasonable enough and i wouldnt condemn it but i wouldnt advocate for its legalizaiton if it werent legal.bionicle_lover

Some stuff is not very potent, other stuff is a one hitta quitta. But it does not make people go crazy or become violent. Alcholol has many more negative effects.

people dont go crazy from weed. they do the exact opposite, actually, and get extremely mellow and peaceful, albeit quite hungry.

Also, you dont overdose on weed. If you smoke too much, you fall asleep.

I like the decriminilzation idea posed earlier by another poster; if you want to grow it and consume it in your own house, fine, but I dont want to see it in my local cornerstore, advertized on TV, and more.

Thats a nice middleground that keeps our prison system free from nonviolent offenders and people that dont deserve to be there, lets people do what they want (weed is essentially harmless) in their own homes, and yet its not out in public and in your face.

yea, the same guy made a thread earlier about how alcohol is evil and a cancer, thankfully it got locked because, as a producer of fne malted beverages, I was quite angry at such an attack on both my life's passion and livelihood lol

Can't you see those liberal hippies breeding out there? Take a trip down to the forest and you'll see them in their masses rutting like stags; copulating on every street corner; fornicating in every park. THEY MUST BE CULLED.

You sound like a total sheep. Someone who blindly follows the latest government or church propaganda.

Slavery was once legal, did that make it okay? Sodomy was once illegal, does that make it wrong? I think not.

You talk of "looking out for the well-being of others"... What could you possibly be saving me from!? My engineering degree? My closest friends? My wonderful memories I have? My marathon-running endurance?

Please enlighten me of the seemingly profane effects that weed has on one's self, oh knower of all.

Sorry, I'm fiscally conservative, socially progressive. I think I lay pretty well in the center of the political spectrum.

You provided no further insight to the issue at hand, and avoided my questions.

Please, tell me, why should I stop smoking?

And just for some fun here is a good read...http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/07/carl-sagan-spaced-ou.html... it is a piece written by Carl Sagan about his experiences while high. I think the average smoker should find it interesting and if you're kinda on the edge about the whole issue, I suggest you read it as well. Provides some insight about the high-mind.
