the reason the government isn't already making it legal and taxing the crap out of it is because people can obviously grow it like they are doing now and they still wont be making much profit from it.

personally i'm not bothered by it. either way people will still be taking it so i dont think legalisation will change anything.

The fact is that people who smoke weed dont even want ti legalised because it will be way more expensive because of tax and so will probably still buy it from drug dealers illegally to bypass the tax so it will never happen.

I have to disagree with a point Katie made.
It is an addictive drug.
And to Allie, it doesn't kill brain cells. It's a myth.
I never plan on smoking it, and wouldn't want to.
More people are not likely to smoke it just because it is legal. The law has never been a problem for people who want to do something. I know this first hand.
Everyone has their own opinion on this, and people should try to give a little respect to what other people think. I have my opinions, but I respect yours, and see your point of view.

Alcohol only damages you if you commit excesses. If yo don't, wine even helps with some cardiac problems and, this is a known fact, it has antioxidants. Again..., EVERY EXCESS IS BAD.

I think people are overeacting. It would do much less harm to your body than alchohol and cigerettes.

But i dont do it anyway so watever it doesnt bother me.

NessARGH_x's picture

lol. is this doing your homework online?
i dont smoke it. so it doesnt bother me

It's my mission to curb-stomp drug/alcohol users. Not in my neighborhood. Get some inner strength.

katie_89's picture

o and btw my experience isnt smoking it, i dont smoke it.

katie_89's picture

i dont know why i care so much about arguing with someone ill never meet but im not the ignorant one if you think its gonna cause a big stone fest. i wasnt saying it was harmless im just saying that its not the worst thing in the world. anyway it would probably benefit the economy, why do you think California is on its to legalizing it? cus it will bring money from taxes and shit

Allie_23's picture

yeah guys everyone does it lets totally make it legal and have a big stoner-fest.

we are glad you have plenty of experience with it katie...but it doesnt mean that you know everything. your statements are ignorant. it is addictive and it does do harm to your body.

morningwood's picture

I wouldn't legalize it, but it should be decriminalized!
a much better alternative would be "Psilocybe"

katie_89's picture

just like lenacruzz said and other people there really wouldnt be that much more, trust me soooooo many people do it

screamHbomb's picture

@katie just like alcohol doesn't cause more drunks? yeah, okay! try it with the next one.

lenacruzz's picture

@parawhore⁢3, there probably wouldn't be many more walking around, 85% of the country already does it.

katie_89's picture

and it will not cause more stoners it is so easily excessable that the law does not stop people from doing it. if people want to do it they will do it.

katie_89's picture

umm guys it is addictive in some cases but usually not. dont call me ignorant i have a lot of experience with it,

screamHbomb's picture

@lenacruzz i kinda agree. the gov't could make loads buh idt we need any more stoners walking around here.

lenacruzz's picture

they should because if the government taxes it they would make a crap load of money, its no worse then alcohol people just need to learn how to control themselves, like every substance.

screamHbomb's picture

@katie what world do you live in? if marijuana isn't addictive then paramore isn't! i totally agree with @allie

TheFirstMarTe's picture

Okey..., do you know people who consumes marihuana? I do, many. It's not a good thing, it's not as alcohol. They are kind of distracted all the time, they aren't succesful with their studies, and they keep doing it because is the only thing that keepts them from confronting their lifes. Alcohol, drinked wisely, isn't dangerous at all, my parents drink a glass dayly, and join them sometimes, and we are all healthy persons. Those people I know, people I tried to 'rescue', have scaped from my hands I have given up on them... don't take such kind of drug that easy.

P.S.: Every excess leads to bad things.

Allie_23's picture

it is ignorant to say that marijuana isnt addicting because it can be. Why do think some people smoke way into there 40s and have to smoke pot just to get through the day? any chemical/drug can be addictive.

law doesnt stop rape or murder either...should be throw that law out the window too? just because everyone is doing it does not mean it should be legal.

it is also ignorant to say marijuana doesnt really harm you. marijuana kills braincells, dulls your reaction speed, lowers your immune system and distroys your lungs and airways.

katie_89's picture

legalize definitely. i dont smoke it but people make it seems much worse than it actually is. it isnt addicting and other than causing lung cancer it doesnt really harm you. people can make their own decisions. plus even if it is illegal people still do it anyway. i know loads of people who do it, law will not stop it. so there is no point in having a law against it.

Allie_23's picture

its not different...its just one more added thing people will abuse. I just dont agree with legalizing it because I feel there are enough problems with people abusing it as is

screamHbomb's picture

keep it illegal!! i already have fears of getting hit by a drunk driver or some shit; i don't need any fears from stoners. no offense to anyone. we (the U.S.) can make a whole bunch of money off of it buh i dunno i think it should stay illegal.

.j.'s picture

I'm for it. It's effects have been proven to be just as bad as alcohol. If they won't legalize it, they should make alcohol illegal. But that's never gonna happen. The government make far to much money from taxing alcohol to ever do it. So the logical conclusion is to legalize it.
But most stoners would rather be cautioned for possesion than have to pay a massive tax on weed.
