Marijuana should be legalized today.

[boonstack]

Remember when women could not vote? And when blacks were slaves? Can you comprehend how ignorant and monumentally stupid that era was?

Putting people in jail for smoking pot is DUMB and COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.

When the legal effects of a substance (weed) is worse than the health effects of a substance, their is an injustice.

Before I begin stating my logical and rational reasons for why I think it will be legal, i would to like to hear why some of you think it should stay illegal.

i have never seen someone get arrested for smoking pot.

dealers yes, but find me one weed dealer that isn't dealing something else. not including the kid in the 10th grade under the football bleachers.

Dude, I am so HIGH!!! I say legalize the bitch. LEGALIZE that sweet bud. BTW- I work in an office where I have a fairly serious job. Then I work out and get high. This has been going on for 3 years. My girlfriend is cool with and sometimes she'll even play some XBOX with me. Great girl. Things are going good. Question though, do you think if I continue to get high , will my professional life suffer?

Dennis Wolf approved.

[bigmikecox]

BUMP!!!  LEAGALIZE THAT SHIT AND PASS IT TO THE LEFT!!!!

[Big Bro]

Hell yeah, keeping it illegal is just stupid, and a waste of money.

Depends on your profession. I am a college student and work at a concert production business - i stay stoned all day and night. On the other hand, if you are a chemical engineer, probably not the best idea til after work

Even if someone is vehemently opposed to smoking marijuana, they have to respect the fact that prohibition hurts people and the economy a lot more than anything. And this includes the substance at hand.

Canada is going to review prohibition laws soon so it's good to see that it's at least being brought to the table and discussed. In the States where most of you guys live, your homo president just throws more money at the DEA and then spends more money on arresting people and keeping them in prison. We can get away with manslaughter and serve a very short sentence up here, while in the States you'd get just as much time for selling a bag of herb to some skinny emos. Our political leader is a homo too, but at least our guys in power aren't so damn anal when it comes to silly shit like marijuana.

Haven't smoked in a long time but I do love marijuana. I only smoke it when I get headaches now because I don't have time to smoke recreationally. And smoking at night makes me slightly groggy the next day unless I take some nootropics and choline. But no, I'm not smoking bunk. We have some of the most renowned marijuana in the world. Just like how wine connoisseurs bust a nut over good wine, we produce some amazing, nut-bustingly good dank.

i work at a very professional job, workout 5 days a wk and so forth and i love to smoke, i havent for awhile since im on probation, waiting till that ends to start again but i dont believe your professional life will suffer. dont be dumb and go to work high and keep it to after your workouts and youll be find

[tommywishbone]

Then pigs and prison guard pigs would loose their worthless job.

its typically the uneducated and ignorant portion of society that when they hear to term marijuana, they think "drug - illegal - cocaine is illegal to, therefore pot = BAD". Pot is schedule I (meaning there is no medicinal use), funny, i assumed there was such a thing as medical marijuana  .

The HEALTH effects cannot be justified for it to be illegal. If Alcohol is legal, pot should be also.

I got drug tested for 6 months (i got 1 year unsupervised prob), i only have 2 more months to go. I was a complete IDIOT during my time by the chances i took. I passed EVERY drug test, but i also never quit smoking. Foolish, but fortunately i did tons and tons of research. I just quit 7-10 days before test, cleaned system and passed. Then i had another 20+ days to smoke again for next test. GOOD people go to jail for smoking pot, how caveman.

not to mention it would save us tons of money we cant afford to spend and generate tons of revenue which we desperately need.

While I do not condone the use of illegal drugs, I do not see why marijuana is so much more "dangerous" than alcohol.  It's been my experience that alcohol is more of a gateway drug than marijuana.  Most potheads I know do not smoke cigarettes, and are usually using to self medicate.  My father smokes with a vaporizer so he can keep food down since he has duodenal ulcers he says it's one of the only things that reduces the pain that is non-narcotic.  

It really depends what you look like and where you live.  Cops may let my dad off for having a half ounce and rolling papers in his Caddy.  The 20 year old college kid who has 3 eighths and is smoking a blunt while driving to a house party in his lowered civic hatchback...is probably gonna get arrested.

what makes no sense is that federally it is illegal but 14 states say it's ok for medical use and doctors can subscribe it.  Medical use legality should be a nationwide law.

weed really is a beautiful thing. what makes it so amazing is it comes straight from the earth. its as alive as you or i, and would exist even if we didnt.

weed and other natural drugs such as shrooms made a substantial contribution to human evolution, as early man took these mind altering substances and began to think and ponder on a different level, seeing things from new perspectives. this really helped contribute to our thought process and overall mental development as a species.

i love smoking after a workout, sometimes before (if its not leg day, yikes). i like smoking with my close friends, or by myself. i really wish it was made legal or at the very least discarded as a substance tested in drug tests.

ironically, i want to become a police officer ("pig"), because i think law enforcement work would be really exciting to get into at a relatively young age (plus good benefits). i think the force could use more down to earth, genuine people who wouldnt be on a power trip. i hate the fact that i will be drug tested and must discontinue my use of the sweetest herb known to man. if i were a cop i would much rather respond to a call of a bunch of people smoking pot than a bunch of kids drinking. arresting for possession of weed is bullshit too. i hope to move up in the ranks as an officer fast so i dont have to waste my time with harmless kids smoking weed, i would hate to arrest someone for that. i hope things change soon.

I would only say because it impairs your thought and vision and people say (like they do when they're drunk) I drive way better when I'm stoned.

marijuana doesnt impair, it enables.

i dont drive good when im stoned, though.

[boonstack]

marijuana impairs motor skills, period. Yes u are correct. but, so does nyquill and tylenol PM's. That doesnt stop people from driving.

Responsible drinkers dont get arrested, right?

I also put some serious thought into being a cop as well. I just have slightly more liberal views on psychedelic drugs, not so much narcotics though. Those serve no purpose other than "to get fucked up". If people want to explore their psyche, they should be permitted to do so in the safety of their own home. I know people who've gotten drunk and done retarded things, while someone who's ultra stoned is much more likely to raid the fridge then savagely beat someone and raid their asshole.

Marijuana is virtually harmless as well. The worst that really happens is a bit of lung damage and maybe a little bit of grogginess until your body naturally recovers. Most people don't take care of their mind or body anyway though, so who the fuck cares if they smoke? The government just doesn't want to go back on nearly 80 years of vicious lies and deceit. They can't afford to admit anymore humongous slip ups. Furthermore, they make no money off of it either. It's now a BILLION dollar industry in illegal and even LEGAL revenue (bongs, paraphernalia, weed posters and stupid shit like that)... the government gets to tap none of that so they just say "fuck it" and continue with their lies. It pisses me off.

I'm pretty fortunate to have never run into any legal troubles. I've been busted and have had close calls, but nothing more than a minor inconvenience. I feel sad for the people that go to prison too. I know great people who grow small, personal stashes and they're not even half as harmful as marijuana. They couldn't hurt or inflict any sort of damage, pain or inconvenience to a fucking fly, but someone will toss them in the slammer because of archaic laws built on lies, racism and deceit? Total bullshit... even if I made the decision not to smoke anymore I would still be utterly outraged. But ah well, even if I wanted to smoke a pound of grass a day I wouldn't get in shit for it. It's still irritating to think of all the people who's lives have been ruined because of prohibition though.

yeah man, well put. it really is more of a matter of just sticking with the 80 years of lies so as not to look foolish rather than examining the truth about the situation.
