Should Weed Be Legal?

Why is it still not legal worldwide? What harm does it do? What is the big problem with it?

[Yahoshua]

It's called abuse......but hey, since ppl will get it from mexico already, why don't we continue our charade in the war on drugs and let things be.

We'll continue to have turf wars, gang battles, and a rising problem with MS-13.

If we make it legal, we condone it.

So why don't we do something better. Like militarize our southern border, kick out mexican citizens who are here illegally, and then lay down about 1.5 million landmines in a swath of land a mile wide and call it a day.

Anyone who makes it across alive without using any equipment to detect the mines will get automatic citizenship.

Legal yes but their must be laws still bind to it.

For own use only, no growing and selling to make a profit. At the moment Dealers are laughing all the way to the bank thanks to the laws. No selling in shops in packets like tobbacco. Just the permission to grow your own and a limit of 3 plants per havest. No smoking/eating of cannibis in public do the Amsterdam thing and have cafes just for this. Restricted age before you can use it. If carefully controlled ppl wont even notice, if abused then it will fail.

When i stay at my girl friends the guy down stairs is smoking it constantly it comes through the floor bords and make us feel sick, i dont mind the person smoking it but just as long as he / she doesnt get me high as a kite in the process.

i can vouch for the fact that for the unlucky few it is anything but harmless...it may take a few years for the negative effects to accumalate but accumalate they do...our mental hospitals are where you will find the unlucky ones

So that's where Cheech and Chong have disapeared to.

In an ideal world, no.

In the real world where drug trafficking is a political tool, yes. Since this thing can grow anywhere the consequent Dumping will make it commercially inviable for traffickers. Follow Kiwi's guidelines and add a smell-complaint, just like you have sound limits. The odor from the next door neighbor is invading your house? Call the police and get him fined.

I don't believe this should be excluded anyway:

Like militarize our southern border, kick out mexican citizens who are here illegally, and then lay down about 1.5 million landmines in a swath of land a mile wide and call it a day.

While many believe the easier access will affect society, we are all doomed to the New World Order and a Global Dictatorship anyway unless people can start adding 2+2. Cannabis importance to drug traffickers shouldn't be underestimated. When all they have left is cocaine & friends, the international picture will become much clearer.

i didn't say they're were no positive aspects to cannabis...

lets face it as it stands right now if by some magic wand you could replace alcohol with cannabis without any one noticing...then i doubt that the police would need to declare "martial law" every weekend evening and night in our local town centres (UK) just to maintain some semblance of order..

life isn't black and white
in fact even black and white isn't black and white...
people are basicaly stupid by nature..and will do what ever the guy next to them is doing if it appears to be the done thing..(and gets them laid lol)

it's mess.....do you realise that under some circumstances the laws against smoking tobbaco are now far more severe than those against smoking cannabis lol....no point trying to look for sense in any of it...and expecting the government to come up with a rational policy on the subject is a complete waste of time..

governments have spent years encouraging knee jerk reactions to issues..with spin political correctness and endless other advertising gimmicks...the result is that the general population is now incapable of making thougthfull decisions about anything at all..

It ******** up your brain. can give you depressions and anxiety. Not good for the sex life, either.. Over a period your memory could be damaged, and you will have problems remebering the grid you were send to patrol. (Or forgetting that there is a destroyer 800 meters behind you, and closing.)
Most of this is based on psychological facts. Someone will argue, i know,i know. Well, they can just keep on smoking that sh*t. They doesnt bother me...

yes, make it legal and tax the hell out of it.

When was the last time you were tested for.

WOW! i'm surprised that so many people don't want weed around!

I just don't see the big problem with it other than a few people act like fools around it. Perhaps this is because they enjoy the fact that they are currently doing something that is illegal? Just like under aged drinkers.

But Really,

Why is alcohol allowed and not weed?

FACT:
Alcohol is a much more dangerous toxin to the system than weed by far. It kills your liver which in turn kills you, is highly addictive, and has been the cause of so much death on the roadways.

FACT:
Weed has not been proven to be addictive, medical science hasn't shown anything but positive effects of weed on the human system (pain reliever for cancer patients), and it hasn't been linked to hardly any car accidents (other than the fool who was drunk at the time and trying to light his joint when he crashed). Yet there are more people in the US prison system doing time for having a connection to weed than for alcoholic related DUI's, DWI's, and disorderly public drunkeness.

I find this to be strange. :hmm:

Is it really because America and other countries fear that South American countries will become rich? That is obsured!:rotfl: Weed can be grown anywhere so why would someone buy it from them? Also, this is not just a US thing. It is illegal in most countries, and in some you could spend the rest of your life in jail for it or recieve the death penalty. WTF?!?!


Why don't they ban 'fat' then? It appears to be harmless and makes food taste good, but in the end it leads to the number #1 killer among men and women - heart disease, and obesity.
