Coco needs to sit back and puff puff and relax. I have friends that smoke large amounts of marijuana and you would never know it if you met them on the street with their professional jobs.

Yeah I mean smoking pot doesn't make you a burnout or lazy or a dead head ya know. It's what you make of it when you choose to smoke bud. I have plenty of friends who smoke up and get motivated or just go on with there day to day tasks like any other. You get stoned and what's the worst thing that can happen to you? Falling asleep on the couch or ending up in price chopper looking for some eats? You get cocked off a handle of some liquor, what's the worst that can happen? Many proven deaths and deaths of others caused by someone drunk under the influence. I don't think I've ever heard in my life someone overdosing off of pot or killing someone,robbing banks,getting into fights becaus they were "high". Atleast let those patients who marijuana will benefit, get there weed now easily and hassle free instead of a police offer sending someone to jail for have alittle weed on them, I personally think it's been alittle far fetched the way officials go about having marijuana..now people can relax and not worry about all that bs.

Historically, states that have passed dope legalization laws, have removed them afterwards. Somehow, things got worse in their states. Can't imagine how that would happen.

This is the ignorant mindset that is now the minority way of thinking pertaining to marijuana in Oregon, Colorado, and Washington. You just said you can overdose on marijuana and its called cannabinoid poisoning? What in the hell are you talking about? I have done extensive research on medical marijuana and its effects on the human body in college and many many controlled studies have concluded there is no such thing as overdosing on marijuana. You say that medical marijuana should only be recommended to seriously ill people? Who in the hell are you to say who should and shouldn't benefit from something that has such a powerful effect on many diseases? I possessed a medical marijuana recommended at one time and until you venture into one of medical dispensaries you have absolutely no damn clue what you are talking about. People rely on marijuana to function on a day to day bases don't let your ignorance limit their quality of life.

:exactly:


IMOP, alcohol is way worse than weed any day.
:yup:

They didn't make MJ illegal because of medical effects. They did it because of how it changed the communities.

MJ is fairly harmless, however, like prostitution, for some reason it tends to cause problems.

Face it, everyone who wants to smoke dope is already doing it. Now you can just smoke more often and everywhere.

I'd say legalizing it would be a good idea if it worked. But pragmatically, it hasn't.

Now, if your next door neighbor is a now a MJ dealer, and people come by at all times of night, and burglarize your area and vehicles, what can you do? Nothing. It comes with the job.

The funny thing is, I hear the same arguments from this dry county here. Every election, they try to go wet. Its always like today, slit 50/50 with the dry people winning by just a few votes.

I think like alcohol, they should have some strict rules, and just follow them. They haven't so far IMO. But then again I don't live there so...

I voted for it (Im in CO).

I looked at it like this:

- it will bring it revenue because we can tax the crap out of it. Fine with me... IMO it does less damage than alcohol from what I've seen (maybe I'm wrong, I've never smoked it).
- it could be a massive failure here, and it will get removed, and then it won't be an issue because it will have been proven a failure.

Either way I'm fine with that. Now there are other negative sides to it as well of course... And it wasn't a real well written law in some aspects which is a worry. A lot of details to be worked out still as far as how this will be regulated/policed so to speak. That part had me on the fence for some time.

People will obtain and smoke it regardless... might as well make some money of their asses :rofl: And in the end, I still like to give the freedom to the people... even though many will make the wrong choices, I know I want that freedom.

When/if weed starts to become legalized, laws will soon follow behind it. Just like alcohol where you cant drink walking down a road (unless your on the rez or in vegas), cant be drunk in public, illegal to produce your own alcohol and sell it, ect. alcohol went through this same process of creating laws (not the legaliztion part, prohibition is only part of the laws imposed on alcohol). its really not that difficult of a matter. the problem is peoples interpetation of it, the lack of laws currently for legalized mary jane, and the fact we have an older generation whos believes in false information due to being taught it from years past via media and so on.

If they put Meth and Crack on the legal list then you'll eliminate obesity! Which will help health care and Obama Care!

Win Win baby chicken dinner!

Are you listening NYC? Bloomberg ended the Big Gulp and the bakers dozen! :roflmao:

Legalizing marijuana isn't going to make "more pot smokers". the people who smoked before the new law are still going to work. It's now just legalized. Highly doubt people that don't smoke dope are going to start because its legal now. Those ones who are so against smoking dope as anti-marijuana.. Go out and smoke a bowl,go try it.. Can't know it till ya try it :neener but seriously. Isn't going to make our country go down the drain because of that reason. Atleast the govt can finally make some revenue.

Problem with legalization of Pot is it will be more available to our youth. Like booze cigs what ever. And like your saying try it don't knock it to you try it.

Well 12 and 13 year olds will be saying the same! You can argue that it's already here but legalize it and it can be on every street corner not hidden.

Yes I have smoked pot but I did NOT inhale! :D Seriously pot effects people differently just like alcohol. Some people are happy drunks others get angry and want to fight. Pot doesn't effect some the can go along with everyday activity with no LONG term effects (me)! Others that smoke are literately dumb as rocks! Ya perhaps they weren't all there from the get go but WEED did NOT help these poor soles!

So I'm not really for it or against it. Maybe there should be a test to see if you qualify to smoke WEED! :roflmao:


By the way NO I don't partake in smoking weed now a days BUT if I was hanging out with some pot heads ( I do know a few) depending on my mood I might take a toke or two!

What happens to drug dealers when people can now, walk into a clean tidy facility and buy their weed for half of what they were paying on the street? The user is getting a better quality, safer product with less chance of getting stuck up and mugged.

Marijuana users are the least of our worries when it comes to inner city drug crimes.

More available to our youth? When I was in 8th grade I didn't have a cell phone, and I still could have gotten a sack of pot whenever I wanted. To all the parents that have kids in the 13-15 age range, I can almost guarantee you that your kid already knows where to get weed, and exactly how much it costs. I am not saying they use it, but I'll bet they know where to find it.

It takes a high school senior about 5 minutes to get weed, it is a lot harder for that same kid to get ahold of a bottle of whiskey even though the alcohol is legal and sold on every corner. I think legalizing and regulating the growth and sale of marijuana is a good idea.

True. I just graduated three years ago and it was harder to get alcohol than weed 9 times outta 10

AFAIK, there is no test to determine ones "level" of intoxication from smoking weed, and if you say it doesn't effect your ability to drive, well you may be high as well. :rofl:

Thats the part that bothers me, I can't drive drunk but you can drive stoned? :rolleyes:

Other than that, no ****s given, if stoners wanna get high, so be it, darwinism will slowly take its toll.
