against. people are generally fundementally weak and irresponsible. even though it would empty our prisons and decrease violent drug related crimes people would go overboard with it. id like to see it legal but i know the nature of humans... and i dont think its a good idea. besides if it were legal it would kinda lose its appeal.

exactly !!!


and if people do get in fights & drive insane & do crazy stuff,


it's because of the alcohol & crank & rock cocaine ,



not the weed

You just described the exact same side effects that alcohol creates. And you know alcohol has only been legal since the 30's. People fought to get that. The prohibition was a HUGE era. And people all across the world still enjoy it today. Same with cigarettes. So I am not sure how marijuana would lose it's appeal. And breathalyzers were not created until a few years ago. Before that you had to put your finger to your nose. So it is not like they had any REAL safe way to tell if somebody was drinking and driving. Beside, I mean come on. How many fights have you seen between two stoned people?

marijuana is the heathen devil weed and sent here by the devil to ensnare the week into damation and an eternity of hellfire

repent while you still can

Against.

Never understood why it wasn't legal. For.

AMEN SISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Against because it can be dangerous with certain people. Some people can have a bad reaction to it and be dangerous, I've seen it.

a lot of it was a response to demands from the southwest atates in the 20's

they were having a big problem even then with Mexican illegal aliens and one of their habits was smoking marijuana. and it was a tactic used to bust em and send em bak

Fights? well i smoke and i have gotten into a fight stoned. dont make generalizations that just cuz people are high they wont fight. people shoot eachother stoned. no fisticuffs involved. it will be legal eventually but i have seen the damage it deos to people. if you get carried away drugs can take everything away. alcohol included. im pretty good with it and prioritize but thats just me. i dont want my brother smoking pot and losing ambition. i cant say that he will be able to balance his school and recreation with drugs involved because there are no garauntees. individuals are different. some people can attain that balance like me but what about those like my uncle who still lives with my grandparents and my neighbor who will never be able to move out of his parents place because drugs have such a firm hold on him? i dont know man. and i dont lose sleep at night over it because ive known for a while that these decisions arent made by the voters. especially when it involves taxation.

That is why it is everything in moderation. Just like alcohol can cause kidney failure, and smoking can cause cancer. There are certain risks no matter where you go. I mean mean people who drink excessively, are not going to be able to balance either. I limit myself. Because I know if I smoke one during the day I will not be balanced. It is one every once in awhile. I do not need one everyday. It is an occasional retreat. Weed is not an addicting drug like, crack, cocaine, heroin, or any other chemical base drug. Weed is far more natural then smoking.

I was watching a show called "Manswers" on Spike TV last night and one of the questions they answered was "If you have only one small bud to smoke what is the most efficent way to get the most out of it?"

The answer :

a joint you get about 28% of the THC in the weed

a bong you get an average of 78% of the THC content

Vaporizer you an average of 91% of the THC content and it does not contain the majority of the harmful carcinogens that come from smoking because there is no burning or flame

Legalize don't terrorize

If we could get all the states in the same balance I would be fine with decriminalization, because as you said...the government screws everything up.
