Question:
hey what do you all think? Ive heard that people want to make marijuana something that can be sold and taxed by the government just lyk cigarettes and alcohol. Do you think this should happen or not??

Choices:
Of course, because since alcohol and cigarettes are allowed then so should marijuana!
No way, its bad for you, and it might also make people want other drugs to become legalized.
I don't know enough about marijuana to make this decision.
Undecided.

I've been caught with pot once and what I had to face was a horrible. I stopped there, well...I'm not the big pot head smoker. I think smoking is disgusting because I've seen people in my family die from smoking and the cancer you get from cigs and pot.

Hah, if people want to smoke/eat marijuana, that makes absolutely no affect on me whatsoever.
And yeah, eating pot doesn't cause cancer.
I don't care about the cancer, I smoke cigarettes.
I was just making a factual statement in that last comment. Wink

In reply to lidanili... did you ever think of eating pot made goods or using a vaporizer? No smoke there.

Another thing is, Bush says we are loosing the war on drugs. This means the govt is fighting a war against people high on drugs. A little irony there no?

pot is a weed,
it grows from the ground,
if god didnt want it it wouldnt be found,
so to all you preps who wont give give it a try,
get the **** outa my way,
so i can get high.

sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, drink a 40, smoke a bowl, to all you preps who think your cool, **** you all cause stoners and sk8rs rule!!!!


Actually, yes, pot can cause cancer. Any type of smoke inhaled into your lungs can cause cause cancer because any inhaled smoke is damaging to your lungs. And the "you people just don't like it because you are little preppys" is a very judgmental comment. I, myself, do not consider myself a "prep", nor any other label. Roll Eyes
And yes, pot would look very bad if it was legalized here in the United States. Have you ever been to places like Amsterdam, where drugs are legal ? You can't even walk around in some of the parks in open toed shoes because there are infected needles lying around everywhere.

POT IS NOT SAFER THAN CIGARETTES AND DRINKING. It is much worse for you health. The fact of the matter is that you don't smoke pot as often as you would smoke a cigarette. If you did, you would be killing yourself 10x faster.

And alcohol kills brain cells. No brain cells = Not a properly functioned brain = retard.

HAHAHA and pot definitely doesn't make you more aware of your surroundings. Unfortunately, I used to be a pot smoker and I can say from experience that it does not make you awarer or your surroundings. Have you ever driven stoned ? Not a good idea.

I'm not sure where you get your information from, but as a piece of advise, you should probably look some of this stuff up. I have no idea what you are thinking. Roll Eyes

And what the hell makes you think that stoners and 'sk8ters' rule ? Haha wow.

It would be controlled like alcohol.

You know you can eat pot. They make brownies, butter, cookies, milkshakes, anything you can think of.



Yup. Did forget that one.

Kcounts2: (1) The government was wrong about the effects of Prohibition and they admitted that when it became too much of a problem. (2) The legal system wouldn't change that much. Just those laws concerning weed. (3) "less harmless" means more harmful. Double negative. I didn't know what you were arguing for a second.

in all history of people smoking dope, not a single person has died. there was one death by marijuana, but the weed was laced in cocaine, so it doesn't really count. and what i meant to say between the weed n cigs is that weed is less harmless than a cigarette. weed does not f*** you up, it makes you gigly or paranoid. in most cases, some people actually function more safely because they are more aware. that is what paranoia does to you. you become so aware of things that are going on around you, nothing goes undetected


sex, drugs, rock n' roll, speed, weed, birth control, lifes a biatch and then you die, so f*** the world and lets get high.

"marijuana is destroying everything all it does is mess up the human body and increase the death rate each year. it makes your reactions slower and is horrible for your body. If your taking it because you don't like life well it won't make you any happier because you have to spend more and more money to get what you want"

Somebody needs to read up on their information. More people die from falling down stairs than from "claimed" marijuana related accidents. And messes up you body? Sure immune system might give you a little cold throat feel soar a day or two but really death? maybe need to look up some more about it.

Please try to not make that connection again. It just isn't true.


Just remember I'm human, too.

i DO think pot should be legalized(sorry cant spell good)!most ppl in this world have so way otrying it and most ppl have tried it! even if i isnt leagalized there is still gonna be millions of pll who smoke it! pot smoking yeah it may delay reactions and sh** like that but the ppl who do it dont care they like that high. plus if they dont leagalize it then whats the point in still makeing alcohol leagal because u cant smoke 2 much pot @ one time and die but u can drink 2 much and die really quickly!! all im sayin is that they should leagalize pot becaus eno matter what there is still gonna be ppl smokin it cuz most of the ppl who go to my school smoke it! but if they did leagalize it there would be no pinilty for putting an age limit like 17 on it! well thats all

"stoners win and stoners die, so in the end we all get high, so if in life we dont sucseed, say fu** the world and smoke some weed!!!!"


be good or be good @ it

I think it should be legalised, I mean most people I know smoke it anyway...you can literally buy it from sellers on the street,so saying that if it was legal it would be easier to get,ive seen eleven year olds buy it!
Yeah,but I think it should be legalised and have an age limit set so that little kids arent abusing it.

mari-J should be legalized. it is about harmless as a cig. but there are a couple of reasons the govt. wont legalize it. 1. they will have to admit they were wrong 2. they would have to change our entire legal system 3. they would have to let millions of people out of jail That is about the only reason it hasn't happened yet. and notice how the presidential candidates don't bring up pot? they dont want to touch the subject of marijuana because it is one of those off-hand subjects. if they express their views, they will lose alot of votes, no matter which road they take. if they say it should be legal, many parents will vote for someone else. if they say no to legalization, they will loose many younger votes. and believe it or not, about half of the U.S. smokes grass. me including. and you bet that if kerry, bush or nader said they would legalize weed, i would vote for that person.
