Make Marijuana Legal?

YA… that was my bad if you look at the post times they are like a minuet apart he must have sent his while I was writing mine. And I’m glad to see we can all be one big happy porn loving family again. :D


Are you thinking about heroin??? The heroes wine the fuel of the Vietnam war?

I think so. All I know is that there is a drug that's used in medicine (well.... atleast in the UK)

you're thinking of opium. opiates are a commonly used pain killer, they're still used today.

Heroin is an opiate... home grown in Afghanistan and shipped to 80% of the world. Dam fine country after the U.S. rolled on threw it now drug lords rain supreme and the poppy fields flourish. :( I hate my president :(

I don't hate the president as a person. He seems like a good guy, just a complete idiot. he's a good man, just the wrong man for the job.

He's like that lovable kid with down syndrome who sits in the back of class. You got nothing against him you got nothing for him but you like the way he smiles.

yeah, that's an appropriate analogy for what I'm trying to convey.

Some people would consider beating off to hentai to be harmful to the mind as well. I could imagine the outrage if the government made hentai illegal. Watching porn all the time does have its negative effects. Now if the government made porn illegal "for your safety", how would you feel about that?
The amount of people that are into hentai is insignificant compared to the people who have smoked marijuana- about 100 millions Americans.

I would consider porn to be more addictive than weed. I haven't smoked in a while and it really doesn't bother me. I find it hard getting through the day without draining the tubes at least once, and I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way.

What it comes down to is whether or not you feel that the government has the right to tell you how to live your life. When I was under 21, it was just as easy for me to get weed as alcohol (maybe even easier). Prohibition to "protect kids" doesn't work, because most of them have easy access to it.

If the government banned everything that had negative health effects, it would be like the movie Demolition man. Nobody has ever died from smoking marijuana, but how many people have died from eating too much fast food? How many children have died or have gotten seriously injured from roller coasters? Every summer there are news reports of children drowning in pools or lakes. How many skulls have been cracked open or bones broken from diving? Why don't we just ban swimming? When do we draw the line?

Thing is, Hentai doesn't kill brain cells. Hentai BOARDS do. XD

Also, swimming in its own isn't dangerous. If you don't do it right OR follow the safety regulations, it can be dangerous. Following your logic, because a few people might occasionally inhale something while eating, should eating be banned "for our safety?" No. Thing is, if the guy wasn't taking massive bites to the point where he couldn't breathe in between them, he wouldn't have a problem.

If your dumb enough to kill yourself when diving into a pool(I know a few that have) then you are eather are 4 years old and younger and your parent should be watching you. Or like I said your dumb and the gein pool dosen't need that kind of poison floating around in it anyway. Man created X-tream sports not for fun, but to see who was dumb enough to try them and who out of those few stupid kids would make it to parenting. Really it all comes down too... Survival of the Fittest.

Actually, nowadays it's survival of the smartest.

I think it comes down to the point that I've been trying to convey. Marijuana isn't an incredibly dangerous drug (that doesn't mean it's not dangerous, but it's the safest of all the illegal drugs, and possibly safer than cigarettes) What's important is knowledge. Before people smoke people need to know the consequences of what their actions could bring them. Because Marijuana is illegal, it's often harder to broach the subject, and information about it is always rather vague. Because it's illegal, people are almost afraid to discuss it. I personally believe that there is absolutely no problem with pot, within reason. Noutakun, you have every right to your opinion that Pot is bad, and it's your decision whether or not to try it. But I still think that ti should be legalized, and therefore controlled.
It's often mentioned in this thread how much money the government could make from legalizing pot, but the other side of the coin is that the dealers wouldn't be making any money. There are a lot of criminals and gangsters that are making a lot of money from drugs, drugs that are sometimes laced with nicotine or other addictive substances to ensure a repeat customer. If the govt. could control that, it would make the activity a lot safer.

Nah, it's hardwired into my brain somewhere. Probably in the same place where my overwhelming contempt for chronic smokers and drinkers lies.

the key word in my opinion being "chronic"

Personnel I smoke pot that's my choice, the thing is I don't drink or have ANY temptation to try harder drugs. Its all about a thing called self control.

This is any arguement that can go round and round but sometimes you have to look at the facts and make your onw personnel judgement.

I feel drink is a far more devastaing drug (yes thats right its a drug) than pot ever could be. That is a fact, 100% true.

Oh and all those that believe that drugs never had a positive effet on your life, please go home grab your albums and burn them. You know all those famous singers and bands that made that great music (The Beatles, Geogre Micheal, Bob Marly) really high at the time!

And for all the christians who think pot is evil (I have met a few) God made pot, man made beer, who'd you trust?

But the end of the day I believe it all comes down to personnel choice.

Spain pot is legal, people are allowed to grow up to 25oz for personnel use.
Amsterdam pot is legal to smoke in cafe, this has led it to become one of the place's were the crime rate is exceedingly low.

I personally don't think it should be legal, I did smoke it and got into stronger stuff, but thank god that's over, now, the problem with making it legal is that It will take some time for the country to get used to that, all the ppl who loves it will go crazy and start smoking everywhere, I don't mind ppl smoking it, but I wouldn't like them smoking in my face.

If you want legal marijuana, go to Holland, they ARE used to that, so the culture accepts it but it doesn't overdo it, and the ones who cross the line have an even stronger punishment than if they do the same thing in america, Holland is one if not the best country to live according with the relation cost - salary. Which proves that drugs won't make a country suffer to death. Anyway there more complicated topics about drugs, specially in America during Nixon government, and when Martin L.K. died. (which must be around the same time) when drugs were used to contain the black community.

But again thats other topic.

I'm surprised people are still posting in this thread.

Okay, so I recently wrote a blog about why marijuana should be legalized in the U.S. Now, I'm going to give it to you straight... Some of the things I say are not really "user friendly"-- in the blog. But I'm one of those people who doesn't generally care. I do want opinions on it. So if my fellow Fakku users could please read my blog (link attached below), and tell me what you think, that'd be awesome. *thumbs up*

Please do not make an argument about it. I want civil opinions. If you put anything along the lines of "the bible", "Jesus", "anarchy", "fuck government"-- your argument is invalid and will therefore be IGNORED. K.Thnx.Bai<3

Even though I am not a smoker myself I would still like it if they legalized it that way people would calm down more often and there wouldn't be any outbreaks.

I suggest them going easy on it once they legalize it, I wouldn't want the next generation to smoke em like crazy just because it's legal.

Yeah that is my opinion, permission with a set of limits.

Yes, it should be legalized. ALL drugs should be legalized! It's none of your business what I put in my body, and I don't see marijuana use as a "sin" whatsoever!

However, if we look at the war on drugs as a whole, I believe it acts as a stepping stone to violate our privacy and liberties, and arrest innocent people, and I think it should be ended NOW!

What we need are usage laws when out in public, and not prohibitions!
