Legalization of [CENSORED WORD]

Of course us "stoners" are very used to it [;)] . But I think a good solution to this problem would be exactly like Canada's. Its legal to an extent. If you have to much then you will get arrested. The government needs to work with the people. I hate how everyone thinks that the government is f'ing god. They are people like us that make mistakes. Work with us. Include the people in your decision, not just go with whatever makes the government happy. But back to the subject you can get arrested for having so much [CENSORED WORD] and has the Canadian government crashed down or burned just because the legalization of [CENSORED WORD]? No its working perfectly.

^^yeah sorta.... but not in a loooong time. i remember kerouac refering to it in on the road. i see no reason for grass to be illegal, but at the same time the backdoor approach of legalizing it for medicinal purposes is not the greatest idea. nor will people listen to anyone who sugests other uses for it, it has many, sure, but the reason people want it legalized is because of its recreational properties.
my honest opinion is that it's legal status has more to do with it's being a "gateway drug" than its effects. most will have to deal with the black market to procure it, and thus enter the world of ALL illegal substances.. also, if impressionable people are told over and over again that there's no difference between pot and dope, and they discover that they were lied to, then they're gonna think they were lied to about smack too...
yes, absolutely , of course grass should be legal. no doubt in my mind, wether one uses it or not should not be what determines wether or not this is seen as good common sense. it is a complete waste of time to keep it illegal, and ending its prohibition would do a great job of crippling the black market, and free up law enforcment to focus on crime, not enlightenment.

I actually wasnt because I knew enough about weed to know that I would be alright and that I couldnt OD or even possibly die from it. Skull drugs should scare you! Drugs are a very powerful thing, anything past [CENSORED WORD] is retarded in my opinion. Respect drugs and they will respect you; but [CENSORED WORD] isnt a drug its an herb

Why do you get it, is it from smoking too much ? will i get it again
ive been smoking for about a year but never had it before, but that day i smoked a whole half a fat 10 bag in one joint, it was about an inch wide!!

[GRIM.657]

I don't think it should be legalized due to the previously stated points of government controll and prieces... I don't care, me and everyone i know smokes, so i guess i wouldn't be affected by the legalization...

Only a 5 sack? Wow im not sure then. Because when I smoke weed, I dont know what it is with me, I usually trip when I smoke; like see Shiz and its actually not laced. But man you have a long way to go if you only smoked a 5 sack and felt like you were going to die.

thats probably why. my fiends and i smoked a dub, fat blunt, then we smoked out of a gravity and my friend was just sitting there and got tired and was out. he was fine though. its never happened to me though but i have felt tired sometimes.

don't you think anyone would notice someone being high, it might seem that i'm a little repetative with comparing it with being drunk. But would your supervisors approve it if you came walking into your office as drunk as a lamppost?

Actually, people go to work high all the time and never get noticed.

[jayman]

not where i work.. people without all their fingers are easy to spot! people who are high are definately a liability, to almost any buisiness.

[Coasterkidmwm]

And then the stoner tards would be high and bumbling around even more, just what I want.

[jayman]

oh, and by the way, pot is still illegal in ALL of the u.s., decriminalized to different degrees in some states, but still illegal. therefore one is probabaly well advised to keep references of using it to themselves! this topic was based on "what do you think" not "what do you do" .. people of holland .. this does not apply to you!(lucky buggers!!!!!)

Yeah, hopefully you guys didn't give WWS your adresses. [;)]

Never realized how many illegal drug users were on here.

[jayman]

ya know.. it's legal status is mostly used as a political tool when one thinks about it. keeping it illegal helps "traditional value" type conservative political candidates and policy makers. it helps guarantee their votes from their base. likewise ive seen foreward thinking groups use the issue to get liberals to the polls.. it happened here in 1996 and i'm sure it helped clinton, even though he had nohing to do with it.. when a tool works really really good, the last thing you want to do is throw it away.

^ Preach it brother, preach it!!! AAAAAAAMMMMEEEEEEENNNNNN!!! [:p]

Yes, they're a liability, but going into work high doesn't mean with certainty you're going to mess up.

[jayman]

no, but it does increase the possibility..

Well it really depends on the person. There are some people who are just stupid anc clumsy, regardless of if they're high or not.

Its like going into work drunk. Don't do it. Take responsibility over your usage and only do it when appropriate. YOu don't suck down a keg of beer before you go into work the same morning, so I don't see why you would be inclined to have a blunt to start the day off right before you go into work either.

Exactly!

I have been smoking since I was about 15 or 16 years old, and I have never gone to school or work stoned. And I never will. When I smoke I keep it at home and at night to relax me.

You might want to check what you were smoking again........... [lol]
