Will weed ever be legal where you live?

[Aajj333]

Maybe it already is. If it is, is there positive or negitive effects? Also are you for or against it being legalized?

[AlexOnToast]

Probably, but not in the next 2 years anyway. But more and more people are pro-cann everyday.

[Its Pretty]

Eventually, it is inevitable.

[CharlieHorse]

it is where i live if you don't get caught

[Miserabilia]

it is where i live if you don't get caught

lol.

It's seriously legal here. I know some people of which I know they smoke weed, but they don't do it much, it's more like a party thing in the way some people drink alchohol

[Abyssal Echo]

I seriously doubt it will ever happen where I live

[Hypers]

Here its never gonna happen. Anything that causes any disturbance of any sort is not allowed here.

[Zenos]

Hope not.
Everyone I have seen that uses the stuff are real losers in life.
If it's put to the vote here in Louisiana i'd vote against it being legal

[Vlerchan]

Everyone I have seen that uses the stuff are real losers in life.

What makes them losers?

On Topic: I can't see it becoming legal in Ireland for a long time. At the moment the Dáil won't even consider discussing the issue.

Hmm setting on their butts all day long just wanting to stay high so they don't have to face the day,staying high to the point they don't get out and live life and achieve anything,mouching off the state so they can have the free time to stay high etc etc. That makes them losers!

ooooooh wow. tbh I'm not even going to take the time to list all the reasons why this is wrong, nonsensical, and stereotypical, but I'm sure that anyone else who posts in this thread would agree. You can't simply state that because a demographic of people does X activity, they therefore have XYZ traits and contributions...it just doesn't work.

And on topic, I don't know. The specific town where I live would never lobby for legalization, but in a few years the state as a whole might; but not too soon.

[Cygnus]

It is not and won't be until the drug cartels are eradicated, and that's fine with me.

I expected something like this. You really don't know how detached from reality it actually is.

The drug cartels can only be eradicated when the market they deal into (the underground drug market) becomes unprofitable.

This can only happen with the legalization of drugs.

[tovaris]

not leegal, but its not imposible to happen, thow noone is working on it too egerly

[Zenos]

( so you are saying it's ok for people to want to do like the weed users I have been around do just set on their fat duffs 24/7?

I know a guy does weed,makes his money from selling it only time he leaves his house is to go sell it,pick it up or go get food to eat other wise he never leaves his house,because he's busy getting high on his private stash.face it lots of weed smokes are losers)

The drug cartels can only be eradicated when the market they deal into (the underground drug market) becomes unprofitable.


( lol do you know how silly that is there's always going to be some thing they can make the green off of)

This can only happen with the legalization of drugs.

( even then it'll never work because they'll just open up legal front operations to make money off of it)

[Vlerchan]

so you are saying it's ok for people to want to do like the weed users I have been around do just set on their fat duffs 24/7?

I'm saying that you're shamelessly stereotyping a large group of people with no respect paid to reality.

[...] even then it'll never work because they'll just open up legal front operations to make money off of it.

... thus eliminating the illegal flow of drugs and allowing the government to regulate a) their product and b) their activities.

Though I find it unlikely that known-criminals and know-criminal groups are going to have an easy time acquiring the licensing needed to sell such products.

Look it boils down to this.

Only sick people need drugs.Or you sick? if not getting high is just an attempt to escape reality.

Plus the time sitting around high is time that could be used to do something productive.

Do you wanna know what i'm doing while my friends are stonned out?

I workout to improve my health,build musce and get stronger,or i'm practicing martial arts,or running,or going around to peoples houses helping them around their yards,or i'm reading anew book etcetc.

I'm being productive and using my time wisely while they are just vegetating doing nothing!

[Harry Smith]

Look it boils down to this.

Then why do people smoke? Or drink coffee? Or Drink Booze? Or eat sugar based products? Or sex?

People take drugs because they make you feel good

whats so good about setting there for a while (how ever long your high) doing nothing.

I know a guy that got high off coke( the drug not the drink) he didn't do squat for 8 hours,i know a girl that spent 3 weeks on a non stop high no sleep no food,what did she accomplish in that time frame?
Not a thing she wasted 3 weeks of her life doing nothing.

face it drugs make you weak in more then one way

Game of Thrones makes me weak-I spend 6 hours watching that. Should we outlaw that because it made me lazy?

[Vlerchan]

Sigh. You really like making these baseless statements, don't you?

I've personally used drugs because I find the feeling of elation given by them to be enjoyable. I've no need to escape reality.

face it drugs make you weak in more then one way

No they don't. All you've shown here is that there's more productive ways to spend your time than having fun.

[Zenos]

What you just said is a silly comparison.


Look I have been high twice in my life and neither time was because I wanted to be but because some of my friends thought it would be funny to see me high.

I set on the floor at a friends house for nearly 24 hours both times unable to do anything,then when I came down off of the crap it was the worse feeling I had ever felt for the next 4 days.I was so crappy feeling I could workout until the next week

So I can say from unwanted experience that drugs are good for nothing but making a human useless,unless the drug is taken for a medical/health problem.

Just because you had one bad experience doesn't mean you should stop 99% of the population enjoying them. I don't know what you've taken but you seem to be forgetting that drugs are not just illegal ones-people drink coffee everyday and they're fine

[Vlerchan]

lol you don't find play sports with friends or even taking them time to play a video game or two with them fun? you don't need drugs to have fun.

And?

I'm not arguing that there isn't other ways to have fun.

I'm arguing that drug usage is a viable alternative and drugs aren't only used to treat medical problems and escape reality as you falsely stated.

So basically wasting your time on a useless substance is your idea of fun?

do your parents even know you do drug? If so what did they say? if not what would they say?

The substance is not useless, it has one very clear use

[Vlerchan]

So basically wasting your time on a useless substance is your idea of fun?

Yes.

And dancing.

do your parents even know you do drug? If so what did they say? if not what would they say?

Seeing as to how my parents have purchased me alcohol (a drug) in the past I don't think they mind all that much.

Though what my parents think of my drinking and smoking habits isn't relevant to the conversation at hand - you're sidetracking now.

[Zenos]

This isn't the Spanish Inquisition man, calm down.

yeh and from my two unwanted experiences with drugs,that one clear use is useless.


Spanish Inquisition ?/ Lol well at least theres someone other then me that knows the Inquisition actually operated in Spain and not through out Europe

Yes.

And dancing.

( well dancing I can see as fun,but again I can't see wasting my time being high as anything but a waste of my life)

Seeing as to how my parents have purchased me alcohol (a drug) in the past I don't think they mind all that much. Though what my parents think of my drinking and smoking habits isn't relevant to the conversation at hand - you're sidetracking now.

Yeh but heres the thing I was out of action for nearly a week both times,thats not good dude.

Not to meantion I did later I did latter fid out which friend drugged me,and we are not friends now... it's up to you to guess just what happened when I found out who it was.

Oh dude and being lazy is nothing to be proud of it gets you no where in life.

Okay you don't like being lazy. Many people take drugs when they get back from work to relax after earning money and working hard for the whole day.

Why do you have any right to tell people what to put into their body?

I'll tell you what everyone that wants to get high, let them, I just hope they overdose into a permanent coma,then we don't have to worry about some meth head driving down the road and running over a group of kiddies.

Believe me that's not a nice site seeing a kid run down by a hopped up meth head and all you can do is hold their hand and lie to them telling them their going to be ok,knowing all the time that by the time the medics get there that kids going to be dead!

let that happen then tell me your view on drug useage then please?

Weed is different to meth-someone who takes legal marijuana is not a meth head. Please use correct terminology next time.

Do you support banning alcohol?

heck mix that with candy canes and let that dissolve into it and you have some powerful cough medicine that'll knock a cold out faster then any over the counter medicine.

yeh but marijuana puts you in the mood to do NOTHING but eat and sleep from the reactions I;ve seen of people.

That's what you've seen, you haven't actually taken it. You've got no idea what your talking about do you?About 60% of my friends smoke weed and they do just as well as I do in school. It doesn't make them lazy or hungry-that's just stupid stereotypes you hear on the news

This thread is about marijuana, not crystal meth. Stop grouping all illegal drugs together as if they're all the same, because there not.

What the fuck gives you the right to regulate what I put into my own body or do iin my spare time as long as I'm not hurting anyone other than myself? If I want to drink a cup of coffee, or watch TV, or get a haircut, or get a tattoo, or smoke pot, or cut off my own fucking arm, I'll do those things, because I own my own goddamn body, and I decide what I do in my spare time. Not you, not other people, and not some facist fucking athoritarian shithole of a government. Me! I'm not hurting anyone. The government needs to stay the fuck out of my business. Sorry for the extra test at the bottum, I'm on a phone.
athoritarian shithole of a government. ME! I'm not hurting anyone.out of my business.

[Ethe14]

Fully legal where I live and have yet to see anyone publicly smoking it. Although I believe that in amendment 64 you couldn't smoke out in public, not sure on that though.

[Sydneyy]

Hopefully Not.

[ImCoolBeans]

I'd give it five or six year before it's legal in NJ.

[PinkFloyd]

I am almost positive Marijuana will become legalized in my state, Minnesota eventually. If we were talking in the next 10 years, then I'd be skeptical, but ever? Definitely.

I am all for it. I mean legalizing it would bring crime down and get the government more money too.

I guess so. It's worked out here

[thatcountrykid]

Unfortunatly it is. Call loads at the sheriffs office hasnt gone up but the severity certainly has. More murders snd home invasions because of the cartels. They will grow it here legal then ship it out. Its even better for them because we are a center point in the country.

Sorry for the double post.

The only reason it would "bring crime down" is because your taking away a law.

[Stronk Serb]

It should be legal and regulations should be made to force the people who grow it to grow marijuana that will not be the usual piece of crap you buy off the streets.

[Kurgg]

Nope, according to the poll, over 70% of people opposes legalizationnof cannabis, and most of the congressmen in our Parliament also opposes legalization. Some of them even think that penalties should be raised.

[randomuser666]

I live in Los Angeles so probably.

[PinkFloyd]

Sorry for the double post.

Well yeah... What other crime would it bring down? Public indecency? :P

[Karkat]

I'd be surprised. It'll probably depend on the rest of the country's decisions. Though we did get gay marriage legalized fairly quick, which was surprising.

I'm for legalization, but I hate the stuff.

[Camazotz]

I think that it should be legal, but I don't want it to be legalized because then it would smell bad pretty much everywhere you go. There would obviously be no-smoking places like it is with cigarettes, but people would just show up smelling terrible.

I wouldn't care if people smoked it near me if it didn't smell, and I wouldn't care if people smoked it while driving if it didn't impair their driving abilities (lots of people say it makes them drive better, but that only makes me skeptical of their sober driving abilities).

[thatcountrykid]

Well yeah... What other crime would it bring down? Public indecency? :P

My point is that the argument of legalized marijuana bringing down crime rates makes no sense

[PinkFloyd]

My point is that the argument of legalized marijuana bringing down crime rates makes no sense

Well I mean Marijuana wars are a problem in a lot of places, so legalizing it would bring the crimes tied to it down, thus bringing crime down.

[Harry Smith]

It does make sense-legalize it-overall lower crime rate

Exactly like it was in the 1920's when the Mafia ran bootlegged booze around the country. Legalize it, put it under government regulation and then tax it

[Its Pretty]

What are the arguments for criminalising marijuana?

[NeuroTiger]

It's under much debate but in some years, i opine that I will be legalized.

[Daniella98]

In Denmark if the police finds weed on you and there isnt more than the amount one person use per day, its okay by law. I think its alright with this rule.

[Harry Smith]

Do you have any evidence to support that?

Surely if you made it legal then the price would be cheaper and the cartels would lose a product. You ignored my point about the Mafia in the 1920's completely

No because they will still sell it in larger than legal amounts tax free. Plus they grow it here legally and ship it out.

And my evidence is a patrol sergeant father who recently siezed 143 kilos of illegall cartel marijuana.

Yo weed lowers crime man cause everyone's havin a good time. No one commits crimes while on weed, dawg. :D

[Sir Suomi]

My state, Nebraska, is actually considering the legalization of marijuana, which took my by complete surprise when I learned about it, seeing as you really can't go more fundamentalist than Nebraska. But I'm glad to see if being considered, and I'd hope that they'd eventually legalize it.
