katiedear

where are you from? LOL.

I don't even smoke pot... never really cared for it too much... nice on occasion but that's about all I can stand... but all my friends are pot-heads.

im from vermont here the law is you can have
2 oz that you can have on you thats ready to smoke
9 plants in all 2 mature and ready to havest, and 7 immature

Basic logic.
If alcohol is legal, which it is.... Then by the same logic, MJ should be legal too.
Any negative side effect can be compared to alcohol and most to tobacco.

But if they legalize marijuana then pot heads will never have anything to talk about ever again.

ahhh lol I hear this one alot to "if they leaglize weed then the potheads wont be able to talk about it anymore"

this is so not true, sigh I wish I could invite you to some of our circles.....its a relaxiant, meaning it helps those sh one kreep out of there shells and the loud ones to calm down and chill

I do think that people should go overboard with smoking, all it does is put you to sleep. But at least a joint a day for everyone would make society so much happier I think.


p.s. there are no related side effects with pot and alcohol. check out how many high people killed someone driving, very few. Check out the side effects of a mother smoking POT while prego. there are none, no one can find any thing that links pot to a dangerous effect.

His point was that you can't make a profit selling blackmarket alcohol because it's legal and available in liquor stores.




I don't think anyone in this thread is making the claim that drug dealers will be happy to stop their careers. The point is, once you legalize something and make it readily available the need for a black market shrinks quickly to a small group which eventually fizzles out after no profits are turned. I tried to show you that by bringing up prohibition.

Why do you think there are no drug dealers in Amsterdam who sell marijuana?



This is not true, but I'm not even going to touch this right now. If you want to start an argument about national healthcare, make a thread.



This is very wrong. People found guilty of possession in the United States do get jail time - where are you getting your facts? Are you even aware that there is a charge called, "possession"?

Anyway, I did read the article, and that "changing of laws" is actually called decriminalization, which means they no longer classify drug use or possession in small quantities as a crime punishable by jail time. The whole point is that they completely disproved the myth that jail time is a deterrent for drug users, because if that was the case decriminalization would have led to an increase in drug use.

Where are you getting your information because most of it seems either fabricated or literally pulled out your ass for the sake of a really bad point.

lol you havent been to where I live our sheriff grows this shit along with the rest of everyone in town, if they made it illeagle to grow our town would just drop off the map everything is based around pot here from our farming companies to our grocery stores, everything we have is based on growing or selling something in relation to the stuff.

and no one gets arrested, no matter how much you think the system works.
