At least according to this.

Thoughts?

Doesn't mean much IMO. They may know it is unsuccessful (at least some of them), but I doubt it'll lead to legalization of anything.()


Status quo, as always. There are almost no (if any) significant countries in the world that has even legalized MJ, so.

War on grammar? Not any more!

[Noitidart]

I don't think marijuana will be legalized. But I guess their saving money with these failed attempts. So they can put that into more cops and then focus on busts here? I dont know.

I said "not no more" because I wanted to, regardless if it's grammatically correct or not, I am well aware of the right way to say it.

Except not anyone can go around and get MJ whenever they want, unless you live in some drug filled province that is completely different than Alberta.

Also, your post isn't any better, though, that's getting off topic, and will end here.

Were getting off topic now? What about when they legalize drugs and people are permanently whacked sitting at computers? Now that will be when things get off topic.

Tbh I honestly think in the next couple of decades we are going to see marijuana decriminalized in many major countries around the world.

What people do around the world is up to them. I think the saved money should be spent on protecting our own country from these drugs. If someone in Russia wants to do meth, so be it. If my neighbor tries to do meth, send his ass to jail! lol

I don't think it'll ever be "legal," but I think it'll just be a ticket. There are many more harsh drugs other than pot out there. I'd rather my kid do pot than coke or meth, tbh.

You're next to BC, just sayin.

And I'm glad to hear that the US appears to realize it's a pointless effort to control drug flow around the globe.

There is a distinct difference between something being legal and something being decriminalized. Like in Amsterdam it's actually not legal but it's decriminalized. If you're caught smoking it when you're not in hotel rooms/'coffee' shops the will be arrested. In say New Zealand where it's completely illegal you can't have any on you or its a chargeable offence.

??!?!??!!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So instead of fighting the failed drug war everywhere, we should use all that money and waste it on the failed drug war here? Still a horrible idea. Basically you just want INCREASED prohibition here locally (in the US), increased crime, increased drug prices, etc, essentially just making the problem even worse.


If you really think that's a good idea, you should try responding to my post in the debate thread (Post #200 in the thread), as no one has touched up on it yet. Many of the same arguments that can be used for marijuana, can also be used for any other drug.

Yes as you said, DECRIMINALIZED, which is still not good enough. As we know, Poland has decriminalization of drugs for possession, and that alone has already yielded good results, and decriminalization is barely anything compared to true, full on legalization. Mexico also has decriminalized possession of small amounts of any drug.

Anyone care to explain how decriminalization gives any benifits?

Like I said, the benefits are extremely limited compared to legalization.


If a drug is decriminalized, dealers won't feel QUITE as worried about the risk of transporting the drug, etc. It may lower drug costs slightly (therefore slightly lowering crime, etc). I'd say the largest benefit by far is for the drug consumer. Legally they're harder to touch.

I'm interested to hear other possible benefits as well.
