should pot be legalized in the US?

I don't smoke pot. But I think it should be leagalized for ecomonic reasons.

I am, however, much too lazy to post the wide range of benefits leagalization would bring.

Pot's less harmful than alcohol, so yes

I dont know it may be less dangerous and physically harmful but I think pot makes most people lazy fucks.

ok lets make it clear: no country will EVER leagalize pot. this is beacsue of international laws that if a country legaslizes certain drugs they are kicked out of many organizations and face penalties. SO it will never be legal. But like previously mentioned decriminalization is an option. I believe that this is the system that they have in amsterdam and such. Where you aren't allowed to have a lot of it ie you can't be mass producing it and selling lots. but possesion up to a certain amount is acceptable and you cannot smoke in public places. This would be enough for almost any smoker o be happpy. basiclly its mroe of a tolerence stance towards the drug. I know Canada or BC is considering a policy of this such which would be a great example of it works there. So basiclly some country needs to trey this and shwo a drop in drung activity to get others to adopt it. So no one please say it should be legal beacsue everyone uses and it dosen't matter becasue that will never happen. read a little bit about it first

yeah on the surface it makes sense to legalize it(or even decriminilize) but theres no real reason to. is it hard to get pot? no. is it hard to smoke pot in peace? no. does the average pot smoker ever get caught by authorities? no. so why bother? if its legal then companies will start growing and rolling it for sale to the public and it will cost mad money cuz of taxes. also the laws against buying home grown pot will be crazy because the government wants people buying pot that they make a profit from and the list goes on and on, so just let it be guys, its cool the way it is.

Snonasty you realize pot is a plant and costs almost nothing to grow. if it was decrimilzed it would be so much cheaper then it is now. i think the governemt should decriminlize it now. they waste money trying to fight it every year when they could be making money taxing it.


Alcohol the cause and solution to all lifes problems.

It's not every going to happen so hang up the stupid arguement about it. Just smoke privately and quietly.


***Hire a teenager while they still know everything.***

freeskier 9 not to be an ass but you just contradicted yourself and missed the whole point of my argument. you said that pot is cheep cuz its a plant...no shit. then you said the government could tax it and make money. well whnever the government puts a direct tax on somethings then its damn expensive. tobacco, just a plant ya know but hey it only cost around 6-7 dollars for a pack nowadays. imagine a park of 20 marijuana ciggarettes, you know how much it would cost dude? you wouldnt like it trust me.

the biggest problem is that all of the possible positive benefits are negated by the stigma of being an ''illicit'' and ''illegal'' drug.

Also, many people confuse the different strains of hemp (family) plants.

Do I think it will be legal? No, not for a long time if at all. Should it be decriminalized, yes, decriminalization would slowly (but surely) remove the negative stigma that has been placed on Cannibus Sativa. Should research continue, definately, because we are still going into uncharted teritory about the possible benefits of THC (tetrahydro cannibinal sp?) and other naturally occuring chemicals/substances.

I think the biggest reason that marijuana usage has become such an ''epidemic'' in the eyes of the powers that be is because they have made it into a substance that is portrayed as bad and evil, and many people have experiemented and researched and found this to be wrong.

There are very easy ways to assist economic woes, as well as the drug trade of marijuana, and even the use, but the powers that be want nothing to do with it. Legalize it, government regulate it (they then make money on the production, sales, packaging, and taxation), release/sell it to the general public, then control the potency. Therefore, the economy if helped, the number of frivilous arrest, lawsuits, and condemend people (3 strikes laws type confinement) are reduced (also helping to lower federal, state, and local spending), and slowly lower the potency so that over time the usage would be pointless.

Will this happen? Doubt it, people's heads are too far up their asses (government).

they need to decriminalize it, and i really believe it will happen before i am too old to want to smoke, (which might never happen). It would solve a lot more problems than it would create. No it won't create world peace, but do some research. The drug war is never going to be won, all it does is take lives. Cannabis was legal in B.C. for a few months this summer, there wasn't any law on record that ever said that Cannabis possession up to 30 grams or so was illeagal. So while the gov't up there scrambled to put a quick law in the books, Weed was legal for a few months this summer, too bad I was in maine teaching wakeboarding at an all girls camp...wait, i was in maine teaching wakeboarding at an all girls camp, it was worth the sacrafice. Anyway there are a lot more reasons to decriminalize it than get this bullshit mary jane prohibition. Our dangerously overcrowded prisons are mostly filled up with non vilolent drug offenders. Billions of dollars are spent on the drugwar, and this does not reduce the number of smokers, or growers or amount of cannabis. The cannabis prohibition started because the mexicans brought it up with them and would smoke it after farm work and such, and us white peoples, don't like em brown peoples, so we decide that cannabis makes mexicans and anyone who smokes it into crazed murderers. No joke, that is why it is illeagal right now. Anyway I am sure most of you quit reading after the third sentance because long posts are a waste of your time right? Because all you slow readers don't have time to read the whole post, because you forgot to take your riddalin, and all you can do is post shit about how all the pros that are better than you, have no style. Well you can tell that I haven't smoked all day I am all mean, sorry, I'll go fix that. If you are serious about Cannabis and want to know just about everything there is, check out http://www.pot-tv.net a lot of good stuff on that site, everything from activist stuff and laws, to funny ass stoner shows, how to grow etc. Also Overgow.com has a lot of info in their forums.

well put manus, very. There are so many reasons to decriminalize it, just think of what it would do for the ceral and milk industry! That was a bit of a joke, but if America has this whole 'the end justify the means' attiude they take with every situation, I think it should of been legal a long time along time ago, so much more good would come out of it. I am against legalization though just because I don't want the gov't fucking with my green, unless they kept it pure, which wouldn't happen. I wouldn't mind paying a tax on it though if the money was put to good things like a real healthcare system.

Decriminalization (sp?) is only a half-assed solution.

I myself think all drugs should be legal. Everything- pot, heroin, cocaine, PCP. Everything. People should have the right to do whatever they want with thier own bodies.

Let the argument begin.

^ the only problem with that is that it is a problem for society when one persons habits conflict with other peoples views and safety.

just look at how big a problem drunk driving is, outlawing alcohol solves nothing, but neither does doing nothing.

they should just start puttin weed in cat wood and slowly work it into the marketplace forcing it to be legal.
