Legalize it

[-GTS-]

What is your opinion on the legalization of marijuana?

Marijauna has less harmful side effects than alcohol.
The only short term side effects of mary jane are HAPPY SLEEPY AND HUNGRY.
What happens when people get drunk?
You wake up with a hangover, you cant walk straight, you throw up, you lose your ability to drive, just a few things.

I like both, but weed should be legal, over 50% of americans have admitted to trying it or being a steady user of the drug. And the people who bring us this happness end up in jail half the time. Fuck that, Legalize it.

oops. i didnt do any thread searching before i posted.

there is a thread right above yours with the smae comment but as far as opinions go no i wouldnt want it legalized. its not the actual drug effect that worries me, its a very innocent drug yet more and more people will get diagnosed with cancer since teh most popular ways of doing weed is joint/bong. unless any of oyu take it as tea i would disagree with legalizing it.

Tobacco has more cancer causing agents than marijuana.

ps. that thread was on the second page when i posted this one

i know please dont try to educate me on drugs and drug use i know about most of it. i know chemicals in cigarettes do cause more cancer but firstly you never know how pot is treated. every dealer has their own mixture. some are more dangerous than others. the plus side of weed over cigs is the whole no nicotine part yet i still think the infulance it has over you is nearly the same. over all you would have to agree people wil keep buying cigs and if weed is available will buy it on top of cigs which would mean more people diagnosed with cancer and more government/tax money spent on treating those people.

k lets break this down.

but firstly you never know how pot is treated. every dealer has their own mixture.

There is no mixture involved in the sale of marijuana. There isnt anything that can be added to marijuana to make it look like more than it is, which is how the dealer would make his quick buck.

If marijuana was legalized, there would be no worry in this, it would come straight from the govt.

keep buying cigs and if weed is available will buy it on top of cigs

alot of people turn to cigs as an alternative to weed because they get busted and have to pass a drug test.

if we never got busted and had to pass a drug test, we would never search for an alternative.

cancer

There have been studies done saying marijuana does NOT cause cancer.

1st- laced and i strongly think the gov will go out of their way to import pot since it isnt leagal in most countries and if they get it from somewhere where it is legal it may cost the gov quite a bit, which means more expensive for consumers

2nd - you have to understand that the people who are CURRENTLY on cigs will buy weed on top of them while hte nicotine still keeps them addicted. its not as easy as you think to replace the nicotine of cigs for weed

3rd - i dont want to argue this further since i have not done much research on it yet i would assume if its smoked it gives cancer.

1. Ive smoked weed for a long time and my dealers have never given me anything laced, ever.- The govt already grows pot!

2. If those people are buying weed when its legal, theres a GOOD chance they were buying it when it was illegal.

You lose your ability to drive when your high aswell...

 

[-GTS-]

dirving high and driving drunk arnt one in the same. ive done alot of high driving but i dont ever get behind the wheel if ive been drinking

 

[Havoc Network]

haven't you seen commercials?
Or ever heard of MADD?

Dont drive under the influence.

 

[-GTS-]

I dont pay attention to the commercials on tv.

I know what MADD is.

I do recognize the dangers of driving high, but the risks are for different reasons i think.

Driving high you lose depth perception and general "giving a shit" feeling. But driving drunk cause alot worse, IMHO. You hear of alot more people dying in a car accident and having alcohol in there system rather than MJ

 

[Havoc Network]

Its still dumb to do.
Just because its safer than driving drunk doesnt mean you should do it.

1. laced is not something that dealers give you just like that. laced weed is when you pay a bit extra to have some speed or cocaine or such mixed in with your weed. and if ur dumb enough to think that the government will actually grow pot just so a bunch of hippies can enjoy themselves than you dont deserve thsi thread.

2. I for one DO NOT smoke or do weed but if weed was legalized i probably would buy it once a week or so just to relive some stress... you would be surprised how many people actually want to smoke weed yet are scared away by the thought of criminal records/imrpisonment.

 

[-GTS-]

1. Most people are given laced weed without there knowledge. And the government does grow weed, where else would people who are medical marijuana patients get there weed at?

2. Id smoke it regardless of its legal status.

 

[theprof22]

do you wanna be paying more for weed?
yes legalizing would be good but either way your gonna smoke it. half a gram here is like 5 bucks and if weed gets legalized it would be sold at like 10 bucks for half a gram with taxes and shit. legalizing weed dont really matter to me since im still gonna smoke it no matter what lol

 

[-GTS-]

Weed would probably be prosessed just like tobacco.

Or it could be sold like salvia, which is sold in different strengths for different prices legally.

It should be illegal. It is a very dangerous thing.

Is it more dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes?
