Legalization of Marijuana?

I suspect America wont be around in twenty or thirty years, or it will be much less powerful than it currently is.

I don't understand if the country is run by the people and the marjority of the people would legalize Marijuana why isn't it happening at a faster rate.

Marijuana should...
Be decriminalized 52% 15,182
Be made available for medical use 34% 10,030
Remain illegal 14% 4,239

Total Votes: 29,451

- some AOL poll.

I guess what it all boils down to is i'm against laziness, and yes I succomb that Marijuana really doesn't do that much to you unless it's laced with something... I guess I shouldn't even worry about it, I doubt the government will make it legalized anytime soon anyways.

Free The Weed!

Everybody would benefit if marijuana was legalized. The police, FBI and CIA would not have to spend their time targeting big time sellers, they would be able to have more time to do other things like bring down coke lords. Smokers would be able to walk around publicly with a joint. These don't cause as bad of second-hang as cigarettes. Smokers wouldn't have to keep a watchful eye, they could smoke in peace and it would be more enjoyable. Prices would go down and it would be cheaper. Possibly less would smoke due to the fact that it isn't illegal anymore.

I'm not just saying this because I'm a big time stoner. I could go without weed, I just choose not to. I figure that I'm in college, and I might as well just go with it. I got a 98 on that essay I wrote the other day in class, and I was stoned off of my ass. I get high for entertainment. Lately no one has known that I've had a bag, so they've thought I was normal when I was around them. It's not hard to act or even be normal, it's natural for crying out loud. I love being the stoned one in the group when no one knows. Also, my ideas flow abundantly while influenced.


My 3 cents.

I'm all for the legalization for it.. though I doubt it will happen soon

It's coming faster than we might think. There's been a lot of progress lately.

I could imagine big weed corporation ad's on TV right now, Lol.

Anyway, I think if they ever DID legalize it, they'd still use the same laws they have with alcohol (no public drinking, etc.).

Basically, if they did I think they'd DEMAND that you do it within your own household, probably not out in public at all, unless you we're at a hippie bar.

I'm going to go to Denver when I'm 21 and buy it legally.

I'd want that same thing, too. People shouldn't smoke in public as some people aren't comfortable with it. Same goes for alcohol. If we regulated it like alcohol, it wouldn't be a problem at all. I've heard many cops tell me, "We don't care if you smoke it in the privacy of your own home, but when you bring it out on the road, that's when we're gonna have to step in."

"We don't care if you smoke it in the privacy of your own home, but when you bring it out on the road, that's when we're gonna have to step in, and take it home."

Definitely legalize it but do drug tests as well as alcohol tests when people get injured. If they're under the influence then insurance should not be liable. I'm for the legalization for adults of most drugs. If people want to kill themselves then that's fine. Most people who are hopelessly addicted are a burden on society and nature should take its course.

The problem with doing a drug test for marijuana, though, is that failing the test does not mean you are under the influence.

On average, a drug test can tell if you've smoked marijuana within 3-4 weeks. It varies from person to person, of course, but that's the general range.

Would you say, if someone smoked pot once, a month ago, and they fail a drug test, they should not be able to have insurance cover their injury? Even if they weren't under the influence?

But with the hair test and I believe HoH said something about a saliva one too, they can tell if it has been within the past week or so. Maybe even more definitive. No?

I think urinalysis is the cheapest, anything more than that would be a waste of money on their part.
