[w3bcod3r]

I'd be legal if Govmnt had a way of taxing the shit...

[SL65AMG]

they tax tobacco. they tax alcohol..... along with every other thing you could ever possibly buy.

they could tax the Jane it wouldnt be hard and they would make a killing off of it

[w3bcod3r]

nope... ppl can grown n sell it out of their houses... which they do
***99% of tobacco industry is dependent on large companies... people do grow it at home but whos sales r bigger... sum cracker growin dat shit in his backyard or Newport Inc. ?
... imho...

[Lucky DAWG]

nope they should not legalize it.

i used to smoke and i realized its the most retarded shit on earth, i dont find joy in sitting in a room either by myself or with a few others staring off in my own world.

LETS GET DRUNK!

[GTScoob]

LETS GET DRUNK!

What he said. I'm drunk and want to go rape some bitches and kill some babies. Who's down? Oh you guys just want to sit on the couch, cough a lot, and watch South Park?

[sport_122]

they make money off of that stuff. you get somebody with it and charge them a 1000 dollar drug fine for less than an ounce...that is a revenue gainer.

[noah]

i dont smoke so i dont care.

[bdydrpdmazda]

Holy hell this thread is old, I started it last July. I got alot of neg rep for starting it too. It should have been the best thread of 2006 back when that thread was alive.

[d1esel12]

i know im supppper late but, dont cha say everyone would be much happier if it was legalized..?? hahah

[PSINXS]

should it be legal? yes. will it be legal? no. government makes too much money off of drugs.

[Slowboy]

OH and yes, it should be legal for the like 5th time

[wes_297]

personaly i think it should be legalized, but i dont even smoke. If you do smoke in a way you should want it to not be legal. If you think about it its not exactly cheap anyway and if there were taxes on top of that it would suck for you. you would be paying alot more just to not have to not worry bout getting cought.

The reason they wont legalize it is because people would sell it just like they do now and not make people pay the tax. whitch would be illegal. but people would still do it so they dont have to pay the outragouse price of what the "legal stuf" would be
thats just what i think. I dont care either way. i would rather get drunk

[Greddypacked]

Drugs suck!

[sirkus]

It'll never happen. They have been trying since the law was enforced to get it legalized. Always had groups that loved it. It won't ever happen because the tobacco companies won't let it. They pay a lot of people in congress a lot of money to make sure their choices reflect their own.

[Maki]

If it were legalized it would not be as "cool" anymore so younger people wont do it as much and revenue could be generated for the tax money. Kinda like when you turn 21 and drinking loses its appeal. I know when i turned 21 drinking to get drunk wasn't fun anymore and just having a drink with dinner was great. same concept kinda

[JASONBALL]

should marijuana be legal


Should retards drive

Ever wonder how much of that is due to maturity gains between the years of 18 and 21?

Should retards drive

Should ricers be allowed to buy Cougars?

[THEONE]

i dont think its that bad,i use to smoke alot. its been years since ive done it. i use to always argue that its better than drinking and look at all the deaths from people driving drunk. if it were legal do you think people would stop drinking? i dont. they would proably drive around drunk and stoned and that would be real bad. it will never be legal so forget about it.

[tippatone]

Im smokin right now!!!

[preferredduck]

yes yes yes, it is great for medical purposes. like altimers?(spell check) cancer, aids, pain. and it helps skinny ppl get fat!!! lol

[tippatone]

I want it legalized, but i dony want to but the shit that the FDA would put in stores,it would be a lab grown by some egghead and so much shit would be added

[cactusEG]

i dont smoke the shit, but it would make crime go down

[1000cckiller]

i dont smoke the shit, but it would make crime go down

people like to commit crimes when they high

[Stopsnitchin]

people like to commit crimes when they high

on crack. nobody smokes a joint and says hey... im gonna go rob the 7-11.

legalize it!!! then i can get my botany merit badge.

[ep9716]

Sure Why Not

Then The Government Could TAX The Shit Outta It.

[GTScoob]

I quit smoking it a month or so back but I still say it should be legal for the same reasons as stated earlier in this thread. You guys should take a break from it, its amazing what a little motivation booster it is without all that junk in your system. I'll still smoke every once in a while but probably never more than 2-3 times a month, no way I could ever go back to spending all of that money and sitting around doing nothing. May as well just roll up a couple $20s and see how high that gets you.

[tron]

wgaf.......imma smoke it no matter what

[MikeyPrzy]

America can't legalize marijuana because the government would make no profit from it, end of story.

That is right and wrong at the same time.

It is right because if marijuana were legalized, then many prescription drugs would be practically obsolete. Pharmaceutical companies lobby (donate $$) to keep marijuana illegal because it is a cheap and easy way to treat minor pain, nausea, glaucoma, depression, boredom, sleep disorders, anxiety, and probably many other things with fewer side effects than many prescription drugs. There is some money to be made in extracting the medically beneficial factors into pill form, but I think it would be greatly outweighed by the money lost on all the newly obsolete medicines.

However, that statement is wrong because the government can tax the hell out of it, much like they do for alcohol and tobacco. In addition, the numbers of prisoners in jail will greatly decrease, saving something like $54 a day per prisoner, in addition to lowering the staff needed at prisons.

I personally think it should be legal because of the stuff above and I think it isn't any more harmful than tobaccoo, and isn't nearly as dangerous or mood-altering as alcohol.

Well, like that guy said earlier, if the government is overpricing it, people can just hit up their homeboys and ask to buy some for cheaper.

[PSINXS]

regardless if its legal or not i will continue to blaze.

[FrnkPwrs]

Exactly. Why would someone buy it for the hyped up price when they can holla at their boy they been getting it from? The market is too big without the gov, and will thrive without it. Yea, I smoked, but a lot less than most people. Weed seriously isnt a drug. I dont care what anyone says, nobody says "I was high on weed and:

a- DUI'd and killed a lil kid
b- decided to rob the circle k
c- Jump off a building
d- Kill hundreds of people

NOBODY I have met in the course in my life said they did anything on weed except eat and laugh and start thinking all deep. Ive seen people act bigger asses on alcohol. Ive seen people smoke their back out and the worse that happens is they clean out my fridge. I see someone drink gallons and then they threw up on my couch, tried to fight everyone, and passed out on the bathroom floor. So make the comparison.

[thinkfast®]

I AGREE IN THAT MARIJUANA IS NOT HARMFUL OR ADDICTING AT ALL; I DONT THINK IT WILL BECOME LEGAL ANYTIME SOON THO AS THERE IS NO WAY TO TAX THE MAJORITY OF HOME GROWERS OR THOSE THAT KNOW HOW TO BEAT THE SYSTEM, AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS

ON A SIDE NOTE THERE IS A LOT OF TALK IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT LEGALIZATION, SEVERAL "CLINICS" OFFER LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION WHICH YOU CAN TAKE TO A REPUTABLE DOCTOR WHICH WILL IN TURN WRITE YOU A PRESCRIPTION FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA.. WHILE NOT AS POTENT AS THE STREET EXOTICS YOU CAN FIND, AND A BIT ON THE PRICY SIDE (~ $150 FOR A 1/4, OR SO I HEARD) PEOPLE ARE ALREADY BEATING THIS SYSTEM LOLOL

i woudl get a prescription, fill it only once then continue to buy whatever i want a cheaper price. how will they know you smokin meds or not.

[FrnkPwrs]

When was the last time that something that was illegal was made legal? It wont happen. Hell, you cant even keep window tints legal for more than a couple months. Its a money thing. Look at how much $$ is made from people locked up, citations, probation, bribes, etc. from weed? It will NEVER be legal

[TheProfiteer]

Its legal in a few states for medical puposes and its completely legal in Alaska as long as your not buying it or transporting it (you have to grow your own). I personally think it would be good for our economy because it could be taxed and its doesnt do half as much damage to our bodies as alcohol. The number of accidents caused by people driving high is probably not even a 1/3 of the number of accidents caused by drunk drivers so why isnt it legal everywhere for whatever puposes people want it for?

well it doesnt affect your liver, but really does do some harm to your lungs.

I smoke, but I can admit that sh it will just fu ck up your respitory sytem like crazy.

You are brain dead if you think it is harmless. Consuming THC regularly also increases your chances of developing schizophrenia by 50%.

[white_rice]

lol if we had weed legalized then there wouldnt be any crimes everyone would just chill...lol snoop dogg

[Vuongy_Dong]

america will be BLAZED!

[Big J]

I work in the Southern Regional ER for almost 3 years. You'd never see someone come in all cut up because they were siting around toking a bong, got into an argument w/ their friend, and then their friend broke the bong over their head and went to work. Now you'd see that at least once a week when a beer bottle was involved, never seen it w/ a bong.

Drunk people in the ER are 95% of the time assholes, and potentially violent. I saw maybe 2-3 people in the ER for marijuana related reasons, 1 was crazy and didn't need to be ingesting anything that altered your mind a little, one was a parent who's 15 yo ate some pot, on purpose at a party, and another was a chick who had an anxity attack. I must have seen 1000's of drunk PT's in the time I worked there.
