Legalize Marijuana

[Luckey]

In 1937, the United States passed the Marihuana Tax Act and banned recreational and medical use of cannabis. In the 69 years since, it has become the most widely used illegal narcotic in the western world. I guess the plan backfired.

Since that time, numerous studies have been conducted based on the idea of this sort of plant prohibition. We will look at three.

In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research, editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."

The Americans found the same thing in 1972 when the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse released a report titled "Marihuana: A Signal of Misunderstanding," and concluded that marijuana prohibition is "Philosophically Inappropriate", "Constitutionally Suspect", and "Functionally Inappropriate."

Years before that, in 1944, the La Guardia Committee Report, commissioned by New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia to investigate the effects of marijuana, found that the popular claims about the negative effects of marijuana were wildly exaggerated.

These studies are important to know about when looking at the DEA’s argument for the keeping Mary Jane illegal. The organization claims on its website that “Illegal drugs are illegal because they are harmful” and “Most non violent drug users get treatment, not jail time”. We know from the aforementioned British study that the first statement holds no water, and to debunk the second statement let’s take a look at the laws for simple possession in one of our states. In Arizona possession of a small amount, less than 2 lbs, will land you six months to a year and a half in jail. That doesn’t sound like treatment.

President Bush has claimed that today’s marijuana is much more potent than the stuff him and his Yale buddies smoked back in the sixties. Hmm, a former coke addict making complaints about the strength of our pot being too high? It seems the hypocrisy in this nation knows no bounds.

The cold hard fact for any anti-marijuana argument is simple. Marijuana kills 0 people every year. How can something be dangerous, much too dangerous to allow into the hands of the public, yet has not once killed anyone? We are, ironically, allowed guns.

An overdose of this supposedly dangerous drug is “generally no more than that associated with mild to moderate exercise” according to Medical Admissions Criteria. You would be worse off after running a mile than after smoking too much marijuana.

There is still, however, a light amongst all this darkness. Alaska has become the first state to decriminalize marijuana and Denver Colorado has become the first city to allow a law to be passed that treats the plant in the exact same respect as alcohol. Nevada will vote in 2006 on the complete legalization as well.

The internet has also been a useful tool to activists. Websites such as norml.com, thcministry.org, and even my own smaller site, marijuanaX.com, have popped up everywhere and are helping to spread the word about the benefits of the herb.

It is only a matter of time before this situation of prohibition must be addressed by those in power. Things are drastically changing and more and more people are learning the truth. Were knocking on the door right now and before the decade is out we will be smoking in the living room.

In the end, we will win. We will be free to smoke our joints and puff our bongs without fear of retribution by the authorities. Truth will win out over propaganda and the good people of this earth will finally be free again.

[Masaki]

I support pot much over tabacco. I seriously don't get how the deadly thing is legal.

[MrLiEN]

very well said rep for you dude

[Key]

not to be rude but this is like the 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000about marijuana I see.

[rimpelcut]

you don't need drugs. they don't do shit that you cannot do for yourself. so we should break the habit.

The government should be like here take the joints but remember, you are not going to get anything from it except escape from your daily problems which is probable why you are going to do this more often and when you are starving to death and you realize that you have to face the problems it will be a hard struggle.

[dale2]

As loco said, you don't need drugs.

You are saying that the government should not ban a drug because it is not harmful enough to kill someone. I still think it should not be legal but I agree that it being illegal while smoking ciggarettes is legal is stupid.

Drugs being nonexistant would be nice, but as long as they exist, people will use them. As long as the undeadly ones are legal, you won't have as many deaths.

Also, pot can be used as an anesthetic.

[Sir Whirly]

Honestly, whether or not marijuana is illegal for the span of my life, honestly I dont care, I will continue to smoke. Oh, and
you don't need drugs. they don't do shit that you cannot do for yourself. so we should break the habit.

Yea, and alcohol is used for the same damn thing. So are all these so called "medications" for ADHD, depression, so on and so forth. But...Um.... honestly.... I go to school, keep a full time job,eat more than regularily and smoke pot.... I only spend like 20 bucks a week on it.... Its not that bad... you might be thinking of shit like heroin, meth, and crack.... Now those are fucked up drugs... The meth problem is sooo bad here in Phoenix AZ. So many damn tweakers.

[rimpelcut]

Also, pot can be used as an anesthetic.

But the reason that they start using this is because of psychological problems with stuff. If for instance people smoked weed because it was something new and exciting or whatever, they would get bored after a while once they learn the truth about what the drugs does. When it makes them addicted they wil no it is dangerous but still so pleasurable. But then then they are not realizing that the reason they want to feel the pleasure is because now they feel bad. Pleasure itself becomes boring once you have meditated on it. So all of this turns into wrong discernment of things.

[Peliqua]

Pot > Tobacco. Just legalize it so you can set up the weed version of LCBO and make hella cash.

A problem I can see with pot though, is that tis a gateway drug. Only TWO percent of all pot users, stay with pot and do not move on to other drugs. This is the problem with pot. While it in itself is harmless, it opens the door for people to do shrooms, ecstacy, etc... it familiarizes people with drugs.

This is easily fixed though. Take the taboo off marijuana, take away the thrill of defiance by doing it, and it won't be nearly as glorified and won't be associated with the other so-called 'drugs' out their; the horse tranquilizers, the hallucinogens, the steroids. If it were as common as alcohol (which, it actually is, just taboo) there would't be any real pull towards it.

I think its a problem with people not with pot.

[Leen]

I will be the first one to agree on legalizing marijuana.

If people like to kill themselves so much, let them do so. If people like to entertain themselves with pots, it's all right too.

Just make the price of the marijuana 10 times higher than the cigarettes. Why?

1. If they want it, they wont care about the price. So, government and the dealer earn more money.
2. This will make the life of the policemen easier too. Now they dont have to worry about unable to catch the illegal pot dealer or those who smoke pots.
3. Those who are caught smoking pot will be released from jail immediately. Again, government saves some more money for they dont have to feed the prisoners now.
4. Those freemen can also work and this will generate the country's economy further.


It's a win win situation. I dont see why not just legalize it.

[mushi]

Well, we discussed this in English and my teacher came up with an alternative. Ban Tobacco, so instead of getting millions of kids hooked on Marijuna, they'd be hooked on tobacco.

[chakra]

I don't do drugs, but my friend does. (in words of my friend)he gets Salvia devinorum which is basically legal pot and gets you just as high, if not higher if you get the 20x. which can be bought off ebay. its ment to be sold as insence but ofcourse it comes in leaf form for a low price according to him.

Amen to that, Brother! We will prevail in the end!

[NashNinja]

The funny thing is, The marijuana smoked today is illiegal marijuana, which, much like bootleg liquor during Prohibition, has no quality safeguards, and is therefore, several times more dangerous, yet it still cannot kill anyone. While as much of a win win situation this sounds like, there's much more to ending the dark side of marijuana than simply legalizing it.

Even if legalized, proper regulations must be inacted to prevent dangerous occurences resulting from use of the drug. After all, as safe as it is, marijuana can still impair people for the moment, and this could result in plenty of abuse or accidental deaths. Think of it as alcohol without the normal leathal effects, but all of the indirect ones. We'll need to have the correct systems in place before we go and let people smoke it.

[TheDarkFirefly]

I say no, simply for selfish reasons.

If it were legalized then the government would try and make money off it. You'd be able to buy it in stores one day but it would be very poor quality and a ridiculous price. I assume it would no longer be worth it to smuggle/sell the good stuff if they are loosing most of their profit to the goverment.
I live in Canada and I like the way things are here. I can smoke weed on the street if I please (risking the odd look from others) and am allowed to carry small amounts. I like being able to get top quality stuff for cheep if I fish around.

I could be wrong.But I like the way things are right now and could care less about medical marijuana. I have my doubts if that even works.how much pain can they be going through if 1 joint takes it away,I mean this isn't morphine.

[~ Masamune ~]

Meh,.............;

[Toby]

Drugs should just be legal for medical purposes like anasthetics.

There are many types of candy people could get dependent on rather than drugs, candy that wouldnt lose you your job, girlfriend or national identity...

[Kush P]

My solution?? Treat marijuana as a vegetable....Give every one the right to grow a garden or a farm of it. Avoid it being controlled by government or corporations....If people want to trade and buy it sure go ahead, do it like how people do with tomatoes...If you dont want to buy because you think you're capable of growing it yourself then go for it...

Look I bet in the past people dont have much controversy about it much...Its because everybody understood we all have a choice..smoke it for medical reasons, creativity, for pleasure or not smoke it but no one cared. Now smoking weed gives you some sort of a statement like you are a rebel, you belong in the streets, you're a bad influence, you're unhealthy and into something that isnt right..

Really though, Marijuana can be medical, Hemp industries can be a substitute to polluting plastic factories...Sometimes I think these conspiracy theories about it are right...

[AestheticizeAnalog]

I personally think that pot should be legal in small amounts just for themselves. But people who traffic the drug should still be treated as criminals because smoking pot is a way of escaping regular life. And drugs in general encourage people to be weak and hide from their problems rather than facing them. Recreation drugs are not necessary in any way ,and I dont understand how cigarettes can be legal. For they cause way more problems then marijuana.

[Sorian]

I don't really care baout it. I don't smoke anything and I never will.

[hjkou]

tobacco = fucking stupid

with pot, it may be unhealthy, but at least you get pleasure/relaxation out of it

ciggarattes just load your lungs up with tar, WITHOUT the benefit of pleasure/relaxation, aside from maybe "ahh, i need a ciggy" relief.

stupid pieces of shit

[TheDarkFirefly]

do u even inhale?

[Kush P]

Well if we argue about Marijuana vs Tobacco and Alcohol on Health, consider this...Lethal intake of nicotine is 40 to 60 mgs, and lethal intake of alcohol on a person weighing 120 lbs is about 10 drinks. Now, lets consider this: the lethal amount of marijuana smoked is 15 pounds or 30 pounds if preferred to consume orally. Now considering how many packs of cigarettes can we smoke per day, or the amount of alcohol our friends dare us to drink, marijuana consumption just not add to these levels..Do the math..Try smoking an ounce of weed to yourself, you would pass out before your first pound let alone 15 pounds..Man, better yet has anyone here heard of a person dying from marijuana? Because I can tell you how much people die of tobacco and alcohol a year...

[sharingan_clan213]

This is the stpidest thing i heard. Even though it helps ease the pain, i still dont think this drug should ever be legalized. When u smoke this thing u probably dont know WTF u are doing. I dont wann be runned over by some idiot, smokin the drug, while crossing my street to school. I just think it is a bad idea of making a drug that has been illegal and make it legal. lol. Treat it as a vegetable. lol.

PLus, if it was legal it could be found in my local pharmacies and none would buy it off drug dealers. That woulld be bad for me cuz then i wont be able to sell drugs if i get out of school. Drug dealing is probably rh bes job for those who drop out of school. lol.

[Razgriez]

Most people that want it legalized just want it that way so they can get fucked up for a evening and waste their pitiful lives away and not have to worry about being busted by the authorities. -_-

Theres other more enjoyable things and weed isnt always required to make the world go around or make things seem so "cool".

I still wouldnt mind it legalized but I believe that it should be heavily regulated by the government and taxed absurdly. Since a lot of pot heads are a waste of space we can at least take advantage over their pathetic habits and tax their great drug to hell and make overwhelming profit off of them and use it in various social programs and getting the damn government out of debt.

It would probably boost the economy as well if we start farms for this stuff as well.

[hjkou]

well, i still think, tobacco is plain stupid

it has no good effects

alcohol is bad too, im sure.. but at least it quenches thirst in the process
cigarettes are just.. bad and useless, not to mention expensive

[Kush P]

I smoke weed and drive perfectly fine...alcohol I can't, I dont know why. Weed gives me more focus I guess unlike liquor. Liquor was also been banned but brought back..Im not saying everybody should smoke weed but if you smoke go ahead there's nothing wrong, I blaze up all my childhood and I still made it to college, I play ball regularly and my sex life is perfectly fine..

Yeah people should tax weed..But Americans don't know how to grow it well hahaha thats the problem. Other countries would profit more...North America has the most pot heads in the world combine I think. That means economy stabilize in other countries not America...

[Razgriez]

Tobacco has 1 good affect and thats through the economy.

Tobacco companies supply a huge number of jobs and their product is heavily taxed to hell. If you remove tobacco our economy WILL feel it.

The removal of the product would have to be a very slow process if we are ever able to make it entirely illegal. Just banning it one day would be like running a car into a brick wall for our economy.

[Kush P]

Yea but tobacco sucks now LOL. Its like smoking poisonous crap that do nothing but kill you...at least for weed, you would feel happier. Marijuana can be multipurpose so you can sell it ten times as much as boring cigarettes. I agree with what your saying about tobacco's affect on the economy though.. But thats why they want weed illegal because they don't want any competition right?

[Razgriez]

Uh no...
Its illegal because of its image. People see it as a disgraceful drug and theres nothing but horrible affects from it. Of course smoking tobacco is actually worse for you but one has a stable in the economy and removing it swiftly is far to dangerous for the economy.

[Kush P]

LOL but its no longer disgraceful to people if you take a look nowadays. Its begining to be more acceptable actually, more and more people are smoking weed and its just going to grow man. Artists, actors, teachers..I know correctional officers, and sheriffs that smokes weed..musicians, politicians (Bill Clinton blazes)..every people from all aspects of life are now smoking up just like me..Haven't you notice its actually cool to smoke weed now? What if it becomes legal and we decide to market it against tobacco? Tobacco would still be legal but would suffer a big economical blow and eventually be replaced...

[Razgriez]

I dont know if its becoming more popular. The only thing Ive seen weed ever do is destory people.

Its kind of stupid to just legalize such a drug just because its "cool".

[TheDarkFirefly]

Well like Piccasshole said weed is alto worse then smoking tabacco, it's just the amount of tabacco u smoke in one day compared to weed.

[mow]

If weed is legalized

1) Goverment control will beneift in creating more taxes, lift the usa from debt
2) More Control = less dealer/buyer violence
3) Less gangs
4) Happier people.
5) Better drug eduction, instead of the "crack and herione is as bad as marijuana"

marijuana is a hell less harmless than a big mac, think of that. If you are sayign that weed should not be legealized due to it beign harmful, then using your logic we should ban the production of cars while we are at, shut down factories and close all fast food stores.

excpet that marijuana isnt harmless, you cant over dose it (unless you smoke a ridivlosuly high amount, and I can assure you, you wont reach that becuase you wouldve been already passed out)

[Kush P]

According to most people its allright I guess....So its ok if I spark one right now? LOL

[Razgriez]

Most people that think its alright are the ones that do it.

Its still something you can live without and you'll probably be better without. The main problem about it is the main producers of the drug and the people in charge of getting it here are terrorists and criminals.

If it was federally regulated and only honest working farmers and businesses are producing the stuff I would find it more acceptable.

[mow]

Why spark a new one? I have one right here actually XD

[StoneWalker]

I think they should have legalized marijuana in the States already XD


Most people that want it legalized just want it that way so they can get fucked up for a evening and waste their pitiful lives away and not have to worry about being busted by the authorities. -_-

You can't generalize and compare weed to the other (and much worse) drugs on the market today. From my own POV, I see it as more of a Cultural Product rather than a sedative for medical use, or otherwise.

The legalization has been delayed for so long, many US citizens that do believe it as a being a Cultural Product feel insulted.


Of course there will always be teens and druggies abusing it; nothing can prevent a kid blazing a joint anymore than stopping Tommy from eating his Twinkie snacks.

Why are liver-destroying commercial products being allowed over this harmless substance? Legalizing weed should have been something inevitable and solved already. I see no strong valid reasoning on why it should not be allowed into the country.

At least this is something the people WANT, can BENEFIT from (both business-wise and medically), and were not forced into consuming. The US Gov't will make quite a bit of cash from it too, but hopefully that's besides the point.

(On a more weak political note, it is not widely legal yet because the Gov't wants complete control over it, or not have it at all. If it were finally allowed, I know a few people back 'home' that would be rolling in cash..)



Point: "Bullshit, just let them smoke it already."

That's the thing; it could be that way.

The eintrie problem stems from society and the lack of goverement awarness programs. Most people honestly think weed is as addictive as coccaine. Which is as far from the truth as could be.

and the fact the main producers are criminals is an even better reason to legalize it, can you imagine the reduction in crime levels we will have in ourr hands? The fact prisons will not be filled with people whoe were simply jailed for possession?

EDIT: yay stoney <3

[Kush P]

Why spark a new one? I have one right here actually XD

LOL Moe puff puff pass that...

[jkingler]

A lot of American Pharmaceutical companies (who happen to be very powerful lobbyists) would stand to lose tons of money if marijuana were legalized. That is another big factor in why marijuana is not legalized yet, or so I surmise.

Sidenote: possession of a small amount, less than 2 lbs
You think 2 lbs is a small amount?! You must be rolling in pot, Luckey!

[Kush P]

ahhaha thats alot of weed he probably mean 2 grams...or 2 ounces but even then its still a little too big..

Yea I know what you mean jkingler, its actually proven that marijuana can work just as good as tylenol which is an obviously popular drug...And I tried that out and I think it works, dammit it works on every pain there is actually

damn right, tylonol/aspirin isn't good to use (often) in the first place, it thins your blood.

Any kind of injury you get, you can bleed to death T_____T I see people poppin those pills for every little headache or muscle pain like its candy

good mj = safer too

[hjkou]

Most people that think its alright are the ones that do it.

ive only done weed once or twice, and i still thinks its fine, i told myself i wouldnt do it again, not because i felt it was bad but just because there are people who would look down on me if they found out ahha

but alot of my friends blaze up heaps, and theyre perfectly fine..

there are some long term effects, like paranoia.. but so far i havent met anyone whos smoked enough to have been affected in that way, im sure it takes alot of weed on a VERY regular basis to get you warped

[mow]

No wonder Stoney is such a huge fan of the "leaf" , it all makes sense now.

[Vegitto-kun]

I do reguraly smoke pot, I didn't do it because it was "cool" I did it because I wanted to try it, tried liked simple as that, it has been 2 years since I started, and I am still simply fine, I am nice, got a girlfriend, perfect grades in school(almost all B's and A's). Problem is when there is a anti-drug thing they always show the scum that got into coke and heroine but the normal person who smokes just for relaxation or fun is ignored because that woudn't raise their number of watching people, in 2 weeks my parents are gone for a week and 2 mates are coming over for 2 days of been stoned hard, go to bed have 2 joints each on the bedside table and wake up and smoke:P .

To be honest, I have only done the pot like stuff, pot itself,hasj and shit, might try shrooms in 2 weeks and coke maybe once very maybe, heroine fuck that killing shit is what I say

[StoneWalker]

lol XD you're definetly right about the school awareness thing. I remember going to some seminar and the spokesperson 'educated' us to avoid every drug in the book (even Ganja!!) but barely cover anything about cigarettes, which is one of the worst in the longrun. Just stupid.

nooooo, don't even THINK about touching coke :cry (and what in the world is 'shrooms?' weirdest name ever XD)


No wonder Stoney is such a huge fan of the "leaf" , it all makes sense now.

[hussonsuperbeast]

I support legalizing marijuana just so it will lose value and stop much of the crime that comes with it. The only reason that people grow, and sell it is because they can charge alot for it because of the risk associated with the action. If it was legalized businessmen/farmers could take the money away by growing it as a legitimate crop, and the street level sales and then the crime with it, would deminish.

[Laiquelleion]

I can never get myself to accept a legalisation of marijouana. I base that mostly on both the addiction problem, but also the longterm health problems associated with using it. And as some people has previously stated "the ones who want a legalisation is the ones that use it" (usually at least).

And I don't see any reason for a decrease in crime because of a legalisation. the people who are now earning money by selling the shit will quite likely find some other drog to sell.

Faulty logic; think supply and demand, in neo-classical economics this would involve greater supply (more ppl growing it) or smaller demand (which prolly won't happen).

I do support legalization of marijuana for medical purposes... for terminally-ill cancer patients and stuff. This still requires strict guidelines regarding distribution of medicinal marijuana; it doesn't mean the system won't be broken by a few ppl... but the effect should be negligible if appropriate regulations are issued for medicinal marijauana. Besides, I don't think many ppl who are dying of pain and cancer are after selling their precious drugs...

[Kush P]

Then again by agreeing that medical marijuana becomes legal, we agree on its medical uses...so how come we need to restrict if it cures headaches, muscle pains or even anti depressants?? dont everybody had the right to cure head aches, stress or back pain now and then like tylenol? It certainly is safer than morphine for pain killers, morphine will suck the life out of you like heroin. It certainly haven't killed as much people as legal poisons that are mareketed today. And why let government take a hands on them while anyone should have the right to grow its own? Since its just a plant that grow as normal as tomatoes...So eazy and simple to grow herb. I think its illegal, because US can't grow the good stuff

No, marijuana doesn't cure very much. It is basically prescribed to dying ppl whose pain cannot be affected by pain-killers such as morphine. It's illegal cuz it affects the individual's state-of mind very severely and is often connected to other crimes...

[Kush P]

ahahah man I dont think weed is connected to more crimes than crack or alcohol..on top of that I think its plus that weed has more potential of a pain killer than morphine yet it is more subtle. Marijuana can also be used as pain killers that does not need to be prescribed, hemp can also substitute for eco-violent platic industries. Patients that are issued morphine tend to depend on the drug severely after the first dose. I don't think marijuana affects the state of mind as dangerous than most of these drugs and narcotics. THey are a little bit eccentric. Marijuana only affects the "alpha wave" activity of your brain, at best it can only render you unfocus....

[Shonosuke]

Weed is legal here<_<

Pot is half legal here since adults can have around 5 grams of it.

Legalizing marijuana means legalizing a bad thing. So just don't make laws if you'll legalize something illegal.

[QUOTE=sharingan_clan213]This is the stpidest thing i heard. Even though it helps ease the pain, i still dont think this drug should ever be legalized. When u smoke this thing u probably dont know WTF u are doing. I dont wann be runned over by some idiot, smokin the drug, while crossing my street to school. I just think it is a bad idea of making a drug that has been illegal and make it legal. lol. Treat it as a vegetable. lol.

Oh gawd, somebody has watched alot propaganda commercials. :laugh In your entire life, have you ever heard of a kid getting run over by a guy who's been smoking marijuana? No, wow, me neither. You'd think it'd be all over the news if it did happen, no? Hmmm, interesting, T.V. isn't always right. :nuts

@ Darklinnah: Yeah, don't legalize something that was already illegal! *cough* alcohol *cough*

Alcohol was legal, then got illegal thanks to something (dont know anything about it, belgium probably never had it) and then got legalised again, alchohol is the same as pot probably even worse since your body gets addicted to it quicker.

Flashes are mighty impressive, just noticed how fun they can be XD
