decriminalize pot?
- Leta Sposted 14 years ago
0Yes careful partaking of the gentle weed is reasonable in my view. Kids in jail for having a joint? That is crazy.
Yes I agree it should be legalized in America, it's all natural, its not like street drugs, chemically manufactured. I don't smoke the stuff any more (and no not any less either...lol..I figured I would beat you all to the punch...lol), but from what I can remember from my younger days, 1 shared joint between four people gave me the munchies, giggles, and spaced out feeling for about 2 hours, I think. Heck I'm to old to remember this stuff. Beer on the other hand depends on what kind you drink, although it actually does matter what kind of weed you smoke to, now that I think about it. But anyways.....

I would say don't legalize it but don't criminalize it either.
That way the government can't make money off it, tax it and all that stuff but they also cannot lock you up and make you pay fines either. - Leta Sposted 14 years ago0
Even Obama made a point of saying he did not see the point of talking about legalizing it. See, you and Obama agree on something tk, so that is something he must have done right
. Personally I have no interest in marjiuana myself, but it really would not bother me if it were legalized. Cigarettes are actually worse for people's health, and there is no talk of making those illegal. All in all I could care less about marijuana, so I would say legalizing it could make a lot of people happy, and be a good source of revenue for taxes.I think Obama is politically sensible in not legalizing now. Timing is everything!
Sooner or later, economically or socially mandated, America will cease it's useless damaging war on drugs.
It will treat addiction with good medical care and psychological support. Essential to cut the corruption and hypocrisy that keeps it all in place.

I would imagine he is as pragmatic about this issue as he is about the insurance industry,
.
Which...sigh...I see the point. The point I cannot see is his take on marriage for gay couples (he believes in expanding rights for civil unions, but that marriage is between a man and a woman...because of his personal Christian beliefs, I guess). See, he's really more of a centrist than anything, and definitely pragmatic. Things I at once both admire, dislike, and see both positives and limitations of. - wordscribe41posted 14 years ago0
Or the problem itself is not from smoking pot but from the "criminal" accusations made to those that do.
Think about it. Lots of people go to work stoned. No one ever really knows but there are some who have guilty minds, figure it wrong and it disrupts their thinking. It's not really the pot now is it.

An opinion is an opinion, not a very well thought out one in my opinion.
So you are saying that it is better for people to keep killing over drug cartels trying to make money off of it then it is for happy go la la types to find other uses for hemp. Which by the way, you cannot get high from hemp used in these forms.

Oh, no I certainly understand that but what I am really getting at is that they weren't happy with their jobs in the first place, it's an excuse to miss work, a cop out if you will. Do you see what I am saying. Using pot as their excuse for being unhappy with their lives. Something tells me they were not happy to begin with.
Now do you see what I am saying?AHHH, gotcha. No doubt, that's true.
Isn't it funny those who mock, those that do something that is in there eyes so wrong, but there the ones probably sitting at home, secretly doing something of the same equivalence.
Honestly I could care less about this marijuana thing. Randy is entitled to his opinion, and he should not have to be snipped at for it
.I thought tksensei was the one ganging up with nicomp, but was mistaken
. The Wizard of Oz line is very good though .
Here's to ou I lift my sheap beer can to marinealways24
...lolI consider myself a considerate person. I do prefer to load personal bowls. I do like to share I just don't like to feel rushed.
Oh no, I just let you have some of my own for yourself. That's the real way to share.
ROTLMAO!!!!!
TV!!!
Yeah but they get their "knowledge" from tv and bible reruns.
You can eat it in your food as a herb, wonderful meal!
I still think it should be neither criminalized or legalized.
Why? Then people could grow their own damn pot and no one would have to be fighting, paying, going to prison for it or capitalizing on natures smoke.
End of problem.lol, oh stop your gonna give me a big head.
I think.....politics ruins my high.
Okay so this one day my friend got a heat gun, sorta like a hair dyer, to smoke pot without burning it. It's better for you lungs.. anyways as it turns out you could actually recycle the pot.
So she had this giant bowl full of recycled pot that she used for cooking. She made a batch of kick ass cookies and asked me if I wanted to take some home. I said, of course.
On my way home I stopped at a Hawaiian restaurant to pick up some food for my boyfriend at the time (this was about 8-9 years ago)so I got it to go and put the cookies in the bag on top of the food.
When I went to pick him he looked in the bag and thought "all" of what was in the bag was for him. But he never asked about the cookies and I had forgotten about them at the moment.
So, on the way home I stopped at the gas station not thinking about it...
The guy I was dating at the time was a mormon (born again christian type) who was going to law school out here and was all about never doing anything bad because the lord said not to etc...
Anyways, I came out of the gas station and saw him eating the cookie. And these were about the most powerful cookies I had ever had the pleasure of eating.
When I realized what he was doing I went started yelling from a distance, "NOOOOO!!!!" He got this look on his face. Then I told him what he just ate.
Now, I was laughing because by the time we were leaving he was getting all paranoid and stuff really not the kind of person I would want to hang out with stoned.
Long story short, he got completely freaked out and started blaming me for defiling himself etc...
Then I looked at him and was like. "Um, gluttony is a sin."
We broke up shortly afterwords.
Sounds good to me
Well to be fair, I am smarter then you anyways.
just playing. You are pretty damn smart. Most likely smarter than me at a lot of things. But you aren't sober, so you don't count.
JkAm not!
Are too! I see it in your smiley.
You got me, beer makes me stupid.
Blue Moon.
No marine, Miller light is only for dying people.
Actually, I preferred hashish
Barack Obama will be judged the best president in US modern history
lol excellent! I won't argue though in my stoned reality. All I see are butterflies and daisy's!
I think we have to give it 20 or so years
Alright i'm back. I'll go buy a pack in the morning.

Legalize Pot?
So I wanted to know what people think about marijuana. I know many people think it's bad but when asked they can never explain why. They go by what other uninformed people say. So I thought I would post this to get everyone's input. Do you think weed should be legal or stay illegal?

Tell me why you think marijuana should be illegal!
I personally think it is ridiculous that it's not allowed. But according to polls the majority disagree with me! Surely there must be somebody on here that favors the outlawing of marijuana. Tell me why!
