For those of you that are being incredibly ignorant in saying pot dangerous and all that bull, do you remember this link?
10 Most Successful PotheadsAlso, if you think pot is horrible don't smoke it. However, if I would like to, no one but me has the right to tell me if I can or can't. If it SOOO bad, I'm not hurting anyone but myself, and I am allowed to make those decisions for myself. ALSO also, pot does not always make you lazy. I have been known to power through enormous amounts of food while high. It also makes sex amazing, and it has defintely been helpful with my song and screenplay writing. So in other words... if you don't like it, don't smoke it. and shut the hell up. |

djmofo117 is by far of the the most ignorant and uninformed people i have ever seen. Marijuana and Meth are not even closely related, meth is one of the most addictive and dangerous drugs available while marijuana is one of the safest and least addictive. people do not rob and steal and kill for weed money, because weed isnt expensive. i work at a minimum wage job, but i still can buy as much as i need, yet i still have my own car, pay my own bills, and still have money left over. I am an honor student with a 3.7 gpa. Alcohol is much more addictive and dangerous for your health, a lot easier to get a hold of, and much cheaper. 80% of domestic abuse cases involve alcohol. but its still legal. so how can you say that smoking marijuana should be a crime when all it does is make people just sit at home and watch TV and eat junk food? |

"Yes, i realize that you cannot OD on marijuana but it makes you extremely lazy"How about you stop making blatant generalizations? There are plenty of completely functional marijuana users who have full time jobs and are making a life for themselves. Just because they happen to enjoy smoking pot doesn't mean they're lazy. |

This idea is almost as stupid as the legalize crime spoof that was posted a while back. If we legalize crime we are in a sense crime free. If we legalize drug use... drug related crimes will go down. You see how that works. Either way, how is someone supposed to support a "healthy" drug habit. Im sure that if meth was legalized all meth addicts would get a 9 to 5 job to support their addiction. NO, that's not the case if anything they are still going to steal, still going to rob (with guns), still going to perform prostitution to now support their legal drug habit. If anything the current law helps limit people from over indulging in drugs by making them somewhat hard to obtain as well as extremely expensive. If the law allows drugs to be sold legally im sure the cases for OD will substantially increase. Yes, i realize that you cannot OD on marijuana but it makes you extremely lazy and if anything a burden on society. |

I think that all drugs should be legalized. It's the decision of each person if they want to take the drugs or not. And most people who want to try drugs, in general, are able to get them. |

"pot will never be legalized unless the government comes up with a way to tax it." I disagree. They could make pot more readily avaible to the public by drying and packaging it. Pot can't be the only thing they can't tax. |

pot will never be legalized unless the government comes up with a way to tax it.because right now you can grow it at your house for free. if they really cared about ow it affected us, or any of that bullpoo they would make alcohol and cigarettes illegal. but they won't, because there's too many americans paying the government to feed their addiction. :D |

Agreed, but if you're going to legalize it I would suggest increasing tax money put into rehabilitation clinics. In doing so you would increase the availability of said facilities. |

i don't want marlboro spliffs, but politically i think that all drugs should be legal, but morally i think that drugs should be controlled, but ultimately i don't give a sh*t. i'll choose to smoke weed if i want to anyway. |

I can tell you never smoked the ganja.
You have no clue of what id does to you or the effect it has on the ability to operate machinery,when you are stond you still have common sence and you wont go on the streets going 90 down a residential road. You would drive more like a old person.
FOR THE RECORD- If you never tried it or any other drug don't post because you don't really know the implications it has on the human body. You can't only go by what other people told you and want you to think.

Harvard also gave the world Henry Kissinger and Samuel Huntington...A man might be one of the smartest minds, he may be a professor at Harvard but that doesn't make him right. --- "The only people opposed to the legalization of marijuana are people who have never really smoked it. That is why they are totally ignorant about the subject and should do some first hand research before spewing their unfounded opinions". Seems like you need to do some research before spewing your ignorant and unfounded opinions. I smoked it for 6 years. I also took other drugs in that time and loved every minute of it. I am against legalisation. Other people on this forum have also said they used to smoke it, and don't support legalisation. |

"Let's be clear about one thing... if Hardard-educated economists were spending less time smoking drugs we might not be in a DEVISTATING GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS!!"Or rather, if Harvard economists convinced the government to legalize and tax marjiuana, we wouldn't be in a financial crisis.

hehehe. we do all the tests. But then our european weed tends to be a teeeeeeny *;)* bit stronger than the American stuff, so we have more reason to do tests. Also, Weed has now been jacked back up to a class B drug here. But I personally think that legalised weed would do wonders for the market.IT'D BE CHEAPER! I mean sure, I can get an ounce of white widow for £30, but my mates a dealer. Otherwise, and ounce is like £70 for everyone else. And my dad smoked weed for his MS. It's proven it helps slow down the effects and reduces the pain. |

crakrjak.Don't believe the european studies, they have been wildly misquoted in the newspapers, in fact recent research has shown that THC has in inhibiting effect on lung cancer tumours, slowing their growth and halting their spread! This backed up the first epidemioligical study of 20,000 cannabis users that showed a reduced risk of developing lung cancer when compared to NON-SMOKERS!!!!! Sadly the UK government are convinced that it turns you schizophrenic, there is no scientific basis for this, the paper being misquoted is one that stated that people with latent schizophrenia MAY present their symptoms early. Something which was mentioned as a positive in the paper as it would get people who need mental health help into the system earlier and thus have a better chance of medication and a relatively "normal" life Also unlike alcohol cannabis doesn't promote risk taking or give a false sense of the user's impairment so driving isn't inhibited anywhere near as much. |

fillemorte: Saying marijuana has never killed anyone is a flat out lie. It doubles the risk of certain cancers and doubles the incidence of schizophrenia (these are European studies). That's not even counting how many people high on marijuana have killed themselves or others in cars, trucks, and other machinery. It decreases reaction time like alcohol, You only think it doesn't because your brain fools you into thinking your still normal (as does alcohol in many cases). Personally I think this legalization idea is to keep people stoned and not giving a poo about things so they won't care about the future or the radical changes going on in the world right now. This world keeps taking the blue pill, No one wants to know the real truth. |
