[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"][QUOTE="remmbermytitans"] He's on at 5. And I agree, he's a level headed thinker. And yeah, I think it should be legalized, EVERYONE does it, and the government is losing out on taxes. It'll happen within 5 years.nick339

Everyone? Really? Serious? I don't do it,nobody in my family or their friends do it. Everyone is a stretch.

And everyone in your family/their friends is everyone in the country? You just made a generalization after correcting his generalization...

That wasn't a generalization but a statement of fact.

I don't want it to be legalized, I just want smoking it to not be a crime. Look at the big picture here. If they decriminalize pot, then a lot more people that have gone to jail for having more than so many grams will be released, giving us more room for more offensive criminals. It's so stupid to send so many people to jail over something so harmless. I've never met anybody that wanted to kill somebody after smoking weed. And about the driving issue, how many times have you heard of someone being pulled over for an alcohol related DUI compared to a weed related DUI? So people drive 5 maybe ten mph below the speed limit. Who cares? Also, smoking weed doesn't kill brain cells. Lack of using your brain period, and lack of oxygen kills brain cells.

If it is legalized, someone is going to get a hold of it, get it mass produced, and then it's going to have nicotine, and who knows what other cancerous materials...that's what I don't want.

Not really. If it's legalized it will probably be plain marijuana, just sold in different strains of the plant. And it would be better for it to be legalized rather than just decriminalized, because then it will FDA regulated, while decriminalized you just have to trust your dealer. Also, it will be harder for minors to obtain it because there will be laws against that, as there are for alcohol and cigarettes. Honestly, when I was in high school it was easier to buy marijuana than alcohol. On top of all that, it can be taxed and the government can make some money off of it.

Cigs are not plain Tabacco and Weed wouldn't be plain weed either.

Well if weed were legalized it would probably be sold as plain weed. There will be blends with other things as well, but for the most part it would be available as "plain weed" blunts, in different strains, and things like joints, which may be mixed with tobacco and other materials.

I'd rather trust something homegrown rather than trust something I bought off the shelf of a gas station that has a government stamp on it. Call me a hippy.

I get what you're saying, but it would probably be legal for you to grow your own, just not sell it. So then you could do that, and have the most trustworthy herb.
