I don't know how any thinking person can believe that marijuana should be illegal and alcohol and cigarettes should be legal.Comment -
Legalize it and tax the hell out of it...Comment -
No because i wouldn't want to hear Moneyfocker and Sports Gambler crying about it, as well as those other two clowns.Comment -
How about mushrooms? Should we legalize them as well, seeing as they are natural drugs and not manufactured or synthetic at all, much like marijuana.Comment -
Alcohol is worse. Actually i think people are more careful driving on weed. Probably drive slower. Except the one time i sat at a stopsign for three hours waiting for it to turn green.Originally posted by MrXComment -
i think Massacusetts should have medical use law like cali. mass got gay marriage like cali, why not medical use.Comment -
Yes. Wrote a ten page paper on it last semester, it makes no sense to be illegal.Comment -
Tobacco: kills millions every year
Alcohol: causes lots of accidents, kills a bundle (cirrhosis and so on), domestic abuse, ruins peoples' health, causes lots of assaults, general violent behaviour etc
Wackybacky: never killed anyone, makes people chill
Hrrrrrrm.
It's interesting to note that places like the Netherlands, with cannabis freely available, have lower rates of teen use than places like Britain. Not to mention about 15x lower rates of drugs deaths per capita (and the US is even worse than Britain btw). So much for the "gateway" effect.Comment -
Good ole netherlands. Probably spending my tax refund check to get there next summer.Originally posted by HeeeHAWWWWComment -
Netherlands will soon be making Smart Shops illegal. Guess it is not working out TOO well for them ...Comment -
no it shouldnt be legal. people will use it anyway, but government should never accept money from it becasue it sends a bad message.Comment -
What bad message? On the scale of things it's totally harmless, especially compared to really dangerous things like tobacco and alcohol. Heck, even compared to poisoning yourself with McDonalds or Pizza Hut.Originally posted by shady610Comment -
yes, next questionComment -
and being correct is less important than giving off the message (i.e. appearing) correctOriginally posted by shady610Comment -
It actually is working out for themOriginally posted by moneylineComment -
Smart shops don't sell marijuanaOriginally posted by moneylineComment -
I went this summer, it was excellent. p.s. everything isn't closing the way the news makes it soundOriginally posted by jtuckComment -
They do sell natural drugs, such as mushrooms, however ...
... and nobody answered that question. 'Shrooms are natural just like marijuana -- should they be legalized in the States as well?Comment -
ph man, then you'll be able to have fruity, stoned marriage buttsex with your man and it will be totally legal Pico, right onOriginally posted by picomanComment -
yes, they should be legalOriginally posted by moneylineComment -
It's actually very simple and logical, but we in the "land of the free" prefer a complicated ignorant oppressive system, because people like moneyline have been able to dilute the intelligence and strength in this countryComment -
If I was able to dilute the intelligence and strength of this country with mere words, then the case could be make it wasn't very intelligent or strong to begin with ...
What other drugs would be on your 'legalize it' list, Cappy?
Acid ...
Coke ...
Crystal ...
Heroin ...
Let us know what an enlightened person thinks ...Comment -
As far as shrooms go, i don't think they should be legal. Someone can still function perfectly normally while high if they try to, shrooms and all other drugs (at least the ones that i've done) change the way you act.Comment -
weed yes
shrooms yes
prostitution yes
gambling yes
as long as i'm not infringing on another person or property, i should be free to do what i want. thats the american way, ...well it used to be anyway.
now given, i don't do any of the first 3, or drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes for that matter, but i should have the freedom to do so.
and to the guy that said tax the hell out of it: don't encourage more taxation, we pay waay too much in taxes now.Comment -
I would gladly pay 25% tax or more to go into a coffee shop and have my choice of some dank buds. If it was legal the price would drop and it would be more potent, so the tax would just make up for the price differenceComment -
it's all on the menu in amsterdam, and I say yesOriginally posted by losturmarblesComment -
shrooms are rather harmless, theyre non addictive, and no side effects.Originally posted by jtuckComment -
In this country we look at drugs with a very backwards logic, we fight battles that are unwinable to opress our own people, ever heard of victimless crime (like punching someone in the dark)Originally posted by jtuckComment -
not words, you do it with inbreeding, your words are annoying and uninformed the inbreeding and overpopulation of people with uninformed ideas is what is hurting my countryOriginally posted by moneylineComment -
enlightened peoples have said yes, and I agreeOriginally posted by moneylineComment -
But then again I'm also for more drug education, positive open-minded drug education, not the ridiculous, droll we spoon-feed children hereComment -
I'm aware of what shrooms do. And i do hate the government being as involved in people's lives as they are, but shrooms are a drug you have to have a little knowledge about to do without being an idiot. I think they should be decriminalized, but not full blown legalized and sold anywhere.Originally posted by losturmarblesComment -
Is this even a question?
Full legalization
The main cost of having it illegal = gangs, underground world plus the police cost of the 'war on drugs'. Okay if it's legal more people will use, but a trivial cost in comparison. Educate yourself before using.Comment
