Sign if you believe in the cause.

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/legalize-and-regulate-marijuana-manner-similar-alcohol/y8l45gb1

I understand that we've already far surpassed the required limit, but the more people that sign it, the more recognition it gets.

Solution, buy a little heater that you can plug in and stick in your car.

I used one for my bio diesel car when i lived in norway, it was regularly -20c and at night even colder. Worked wonders...

another reason, if its not legal there is no way of regulating it. before i was legal to drink it was easier for me to get weed then it was to get alcohol because that drug dealer doesnt give a fuck who you are as long as you have money. I knew a 12 year old that used to do mdma and meth and he still does because drugs are so easy to get when criminals are the ones regulating who gets them and who doesnt.

Unfortunately with the Harper government, Canada is moving backwards on the road to legalization.

oh cool, you've watched The Union.

and not all drug dealers won't sell to anyone who has cash. in fact the majority have some sort of morals and refuse to do business with kids. why? because kids are stupid. get caught, and snitch. your little story about a preteen dropping mol and meth bombs is most likely bullshit and if it isn't the only way he's getting those drugs is by some shitty friend/older influence who is fucked up enough to supply him with it. there is no possible way a common street dealer would slang to a kid like that because it's extremely suspicious/sketchy in every way, shape and form.

get out of this thread; there is way too much stupidity here already and you're just continuing to dump it on in here.

No, she's actually right in a way. You seem to have a very high regard for human morals. There are some terribly horrible people. Even people in positions of power and trust can do things worse than selling a 12 year old drugs. For instance government officials infecting orphans (as young as 6-8 years old) and others with syphilis, gonorrhea, and other horrible STD's so they could test penicillin. Point being, if trusted elected officials can do that, some crack head on the street can sell drugs to a 12 year old. The point of the point being that while drugs are illegal, the kind of people who get involves and sell them are the kind of people who just don't give a fuck and who are inherently bad. Look to prohibition for some great examples of that.

coming from a multiple times a day stoner whos pretty much always high, i'd rather not have bud legalized because then it can get taxed and whatever other bullshit theyd do to it. i'd rather just go pick up my sacks from my dealer who hooks it up to at least .4 above the gram every single time for the absolute fire

Dude YOU ARE SO FUCKING RETARDED



If weed was legal anybody could fucking grow it legally. If you have any friends they would probably be growing it. The price will be driven so low.

If they actually want to sell it there will have to be some high quality because everyone and their mother can grow dirt bud at the very least.

I can't believe how fucking dumb you are. You and emily is cool have some of the worst reasons for keeping it illegal.

You like getting "hooked up" with your shitty dimers or slices? How about getting an 8th of headies for like 20 bucks. Oh no you and your "dealer" already have a sick arrangement where you buy your shitty beasters for 50 a slice because you're stupid.


God reading this thread I feel like I'm growing a fucking tumor. Yes arnold, it might be a tumor

did he mention that ANYONE CAN GROW IT LEGALLY IF ITS LEGALIZED! thats sick but i have a feeling if it is in fact legal, then lots of people will start growing and the government will eventually make growing illegal. after that then the store prices will go up. in theory

Proposition 19 would have made it legal for anyone over 21 years old to grow a few plants for personal use. I think it is completely reasonable to believe it would be the same for any future attempts.

For some reason i think the government might regulate who can and who can't grow. But it would make it a lot easier to grow your own bud, kinda like brewing moonshine i guess.

I didn't read half of this thread. But I agree with the spanish cat. Petitions are for fucking dumb fucks who don't want to actually do something.
Yes petitions are 'democratic' to an extent. To fucking bad we don't live in a democracy. Thank fucking god, because democracies suck dickwad. We live in a republic (que empire strikes back music), and in a republic you don't get to vote on laws, so stop fucking trying. So call up your representatives and tell them what you want to happen.
Oh, you are not 18? we don't give a fuck about your opinion because you don't fucking rate an opinion. Shut the fuck up and go back to school. Marijuana isn't going to help you graduate highschool, which should be your only fucking goal at this stage. I know this happens every generation, but the current set of fucks in grade school (thats 1-12 for you slow ones) are the biggest set of whining bitches with the most bloated sense of entitlement this world has ever seen. Go fucking earn your way you worthless sacks of shit. Oh, and if you are 18 and want to change something, call your representatives. Those petitioners outside Wholefoods arn't gonna change a damn thing.

/rant. It is sunny out, I'm gonna go for a run.

You're absolutely right, because the only people who smoke weed are in high school. I NEVER realized that. Thanks for enlightening me.

I would say 2000 letters / phone calls / emails on the same issue will carry more weight then one email with 4000 signatures.
