The support for legalization is growing so fast, its crazy. Even cops now are just like "dump it bro". I got pulled over for speeding and my car smelled like a pound and the cop just gave me the speeding ticket and didn't even mention the smell (HPD on the Katy Frwy). Every year it just grows and grows.
I don't see why not. Will you go out and do those drugs once they are legal? Even more harmful drugs like cigs and alcohol are legal, so I don't know why they can't all be. mar1juana will just be the very first and you shouldn't be grouping it with those other drugs anyway.
You reach a dead end as far as legalization for recreational use, but a medical approach, which was the initial idea for mar1juana users, is still applicable. Alcohol has zero use but is still legal so MJ can follow that path. MJ advocates will have to prove it is safer for consumption than X if not alcohol to legitimize the use. If no legalized I do believe it should at least be reclassified to a lower scheduled drug, on a federal level, than pain killers and other prescription drugs.
weed isn't a drug. Its a plant. It doesn't hurt anybody what so ever, the only couple of bad thing about smoking weed is inhaling smoke. Which smoking plain notebook paper does the same thing, vaporizing or eating weed solves that problem though. Secondly is does lower your sperm cell count, but who cares about that. Weed is also a proven anti carcinogenic.
excellent point! Me and my buddies ask the same question about our guns. If we can own handguns, rifles, then why not rocket launchers, machine guns and grenade launchers. Shiiiiit legalize it all i say!
it should have been legal all along. it was made illegal due to a scumbag politician named Henry Anslinger being bought off by big pharma companies to start a political campaign demonizing the plant (yes its a plant not a drug) using fear mongering tactics and racial slander and the ignorant american sheep public ate it up.
I'm a huge MJ supporters, but you have to understand that it is definitely a drug. It's a plant, yes, but also a drug. A very very good and pretty much harmless drug though.
The benefits of legalizing it would be significant. Our prisons would be less crowded and the revenue from taxation would be much needed, to name a few.
Bless you, sir. It's no more harmful than alcohol and probably less so. It's no more of a "gateway drug" than alcohol.
I can say the same thing and worse about most of the regular drinkers I have known. If you abuse any substance, it will have deleterious effects on productivity, job performance, ambition, and social skills.
I think you can distinguish between a plant that grows naturally and a substance created out of chemicals in a lab.
