Cannabis sativa supporters

well put.

the poll seems to stay around 50%

 

I will have to agree with the previous post. Its kinda hard to kill somebody while driving 15 in a 30.

 

i disagree with this because if you are one that zones out when stoned you can drift into oncoming traffic going 15


this goes back to what i previously said... regulate it like booze no drinking/smoking and driving

 

You get the award for dumbest thing said in this thread...

Way to go!

 

sorry oh_six... x2

 

what i find interesting, is that if we were going by the TW election polls, McCain would have won by a landslide. it seems we have way more republican/conservatives on here than dems. but this poll is about 50/50. which means, that in a predominantly conservative site, the legalization race is a close one, which means alot of conservatives (at least on this site) want to see it legalized. i wonder how this poll would look if every american voted. sorry, thats just the sociologist part of me talking out loud (taht was my minor)

hate to say it but x3.

taht kind of statement hurts the "pro pot" argument

 

i would like to see that poll as well....

someone said earlier that you would be surprised who secretly smokes... kinda goes along with that

 

i'd say less than half my friends know. i typically use it right before i go to bed. i've been able to stop taking my ambien and valium which i was useing for my sleep problems. both of those mess with my memory, and i have seen a huge improvement in my memory sense i have stopped taking them. although i have a possible drug test coming up so i am on hiatus for the moment

 

the fact that so many people do smoke and no one around them has any idea is evidence of how harmless it CAN be

 

whoaaaaa, someones in trouble

seriously jeff, i can't talk to you when you're like this. you're just talkin like a crazy person now

 

thats actually the only reason i love you....

 

true.... but that was only an example of people trying things when drunk that they wouldn't normally do sober

there are plenty of people that don't normally do drugs unless they are out partying and drinking


so... it is very plausible that drinking could lead to other party drugs i.e. ecstasy > coke > meth.... etc.

normally you wouldn't try coke but you were drunk at a party and everyone else was doing it so you tried it and liked it and now do it all the time at parties then started trying at parties without being drunk.... now you're a coke head



BEER IS A GATEWAY DRUG!!!!


tiger... just trying to make a point, i think for the most part we agree on this topic - not saying alcohol should be banned but you can't make an argument for keeping pot illegal without grouping alcohol into it too

 

I agree. I don't smoke nor do I condone it, but I've never known anyone who didn't smoke because it was illegal. If they're wanna smoke they're gonna smoke, regardless of whether it's illegal or not. So why not just legalize it and free up the time and money wasted by law enforcement pursuing those with possession of pot. You'd be surprised at how many people you know personally smoke, at least I have been. It's not difficult to get a hold of by any means.

 

I would just like to put my $.02 in. For starters the laced pot argument, I have never seen laced pot, never heard of anyone in my area having any. The reason people lace pot is to make it addictive to kids. Drug dealers want to get the kids hooked, not necessarily on pot, but on the drugs they lace it with, usually coke or meth. Good growers grow good pot, they don't lace it with anything, its flushed very well and clean of chemicals, if it were legalized and you could buy it from a store there would be no more laced weed. Its the bad guys, the coke/meth/crack dealers that lace weed, if the police didn't need to worry about the "good" growers, they could concentrate on the ones selling hard drugs.

As for a gateway drug, other then the possible introduction to the dealers of hard drugs, marijuana isn't really a gateway drug. I don't see why anyone would smoke a joint then go do a line or 2, just doesn't make any sense. One gets you down the other gets you up. More then likely alcohol is the gateway drug, since booze and coke go hand in hand. People may have smoked marijuana before, and then gone onto harder drugs, but more then likely its through the booze and not because of the pot.

As for the medicinal value of marijuana, there are now over 17,000 research papers on the subject from all corners of the globe. However the real truth can be found in the lives of the people who have medical cards, and are able to live their lives without pain and suffering because of this drug.

 

everybody who cares, go turn on the discovery channel right now, its all about this topic..

last year 800,000 people were arrested in the US for marijuana posesion, clogging prisons, costing you money...

go watch
