Why is Marijuana Still Against The Law? - General

[QUOTE=noiprocS;29456485]I'm not saying it should be illegal so I'm not going to argue for it, I'm just pointing out that this is bias.[/QUOTE] its not bias its just presenting facts. most people against marijuana are against it for bull shit reasons.

[QUOTE=Nathax;29442081]Weeds illegal for a reason. If it was legal everyone would be high and there would be way too many car crash's.[/QUOTE] I actually obey all traffic laws when I'm high, and my friends tell me that they'd rather be passengers in my car when I'm high than when I'm sober.

Legalize weed, cull the dipshits who constantly hoot "420 SMOKE WEED ERRYDAY". I can see no problem to this plan. :downs:

It would be nice if it was legal, or decriminalized at least. But as long as you play it safe the chances of getting caught using it are slim. But growing on the other hand can be risky.

Decriminalized In ACT, Australia and many other countries you know.

[QUOTE=The Aussie;29463089]Decriminalized In ACT, Australia and many other countries you know.[/QUOTE] No, tell us more.

This video actually slightly shifted my view on marihuana. I didn't oppose it's legalization. Now I would directly support it.

i didn't know that the black guys in the old cartoons were smoking marijuana

I actually want to try some

That was a nice collection of knowledge. I knew a lot of this already due to much internet exposure, but this wrapped it all into one nice YouTube video. I think I'm gonna go smoke a bowl now.

Paper companies killing hemp production possibilities as well. Fat blunt time.

[QUOTE=critein_protein;29440419]I hate living on Planet Earth, knowing that ridiculously stupidly retarded decisions, like banning Marijuana, are being made. If tobacco and alcohol kills so many people all over the world, whereas weed has killed zero people, and tobacco and alcohol are advertised by being incredibly popular in modern culture... where's the sense in that. There is none. No sense. In fact, it's minus sense. The only REAL cancer that exists is Government, attached to the vital organs of society, controlling all of us. We are powerless. Hmm... what would Andrew Ryan do... :allears: I wait anticipatively for the people who rate me what. We will see who's basically too weak to see past Government and it's decisions.[/QUOTE] Called Socialism. Not that it wasn't illegal when other presidents were in office, just that we barley have any freedoms left. I just wouldn't feel as safe on the streets if everyone was high, maybe make a law like you cannot be high in public. Imagine high people driving :ohdear: people would be getting hit everyday. Basically the government is full of corrupt assholes that try to control every aspect of our life.

They would stay inside more and if I ever get mugged I would be able to play adventure time and they would be dazed for hours.

You just got to really focus thats all. and they would handle it like alcohol, imagine people getting DRUNK in public; it doesnt happen because it isnt allowed.

Prolly 'cause it's bad 4 u dawg.

They should legalize Marijuana. They would collect a lot of taxes and the government uses a lot of money to keep it out, but it's still getting here!

[QUOTE='[GRiM];29478197']Yeah you're so focused when you're high.[/QUOTE] you'd be surprised.

[QUOTE='[GRiM];29478197']Yeah you're so focused when you're high.[/QUOTE] you obviously don't do any drugs

Weed's illegal because of two main reasons. First, theres no reason to legalize it, all of you guys are just stating because alcohol and ciggerettes are more harmful than weed, it should be legalized. It's medicinal? you can simply take pain killers rather than smoke Weed. Second, there are thousands of kids smoking weed when its still illegal think about how easy they can get their hands on it when its legal. It's not that i think weed is bad i just think its not a issue right now. I'm a stoner too if i say so myself.

Legalize Marijuana but keep it under very strict rules, then I'm probably fine with it.

Go ahead and try to legalize it if you want, I won't stand against you but I won't smoke it either.

[QUOTE=Occlusion;29440132]Sad that it's actually illegal just due to racism really. What about other countries though?[/QUOTE] I smoked a joint last night with a cop friend LOL. We laughed on Super High Me. Also, I'm in Belgium, here is some rules: - You can consume Marijuana at your home for your personnal consumption if you're 18 or older. - You can't buy Marijuana anywhere in the Belgium territory. That's why I go to Maastricht to buy weed in some Coffee Shops. - You can have max 3g of weed in the street. Belgium tolerate weed like Holland, but not too much because we don't have shops. Selling weed here is strictly illegal but I know a fucking lot of dealers... But in France, a cop caught you with a simple joint and nothing else, you can be sure you'll be in jail soon... (Also France is a dictature, with its fucking HADOPI system to see if you downloaded pirated content on the web... Ahahah, democracy...).

[QUOTE=Pappa Smurf;29478679]you'd be surprised.[/QUOTE] I heard it helps staying focused. I've never done drugs but it is something i wonder about. People that are stoned are slow and stuff.

You fuel our economy and are allowed to smoke it! But on a serious note, they are trying to make it illegal to sell growing equipment and i am sure they want to make pot illegal too. Politicians are fucking dumb. In the Netherlands you're also allowed to have weed with you (decriminalized). You may grow 3 plants but their allowed width is limited (don't know the details). You may sell 3 gram a day(which is a joint i believe). So legally growing it in your home is not very profitable, although every little bit helps i guess. Illegally growing it is very profitable. Filling your average attic with plants yields thousands upon thousands of dollars a month, and if you're caught you get a simple 10000 euro fine (hardly a setback) and maybe some jail time of a couple days.

They don't care about the size, you do what you want with your plant until you're 18 or older and you're growing it in your house. Edit; for your own consumption. You aren't allowed to resell it.

I am starting to like Belgium.

So... It's basically [I]physically impossible[/I] to OD on cannabis unless you do something ridiculous like smoke a thousand joints at once? And it used to be banned because it made people 'violent', then because it made them 'pacifists', and then because of a survey that had one gigantic flaw that wasn't even mentioned when it was released, and now... Why is it banned? Because it is. [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] As a sidenote, I don't smoke weed (and I'm not planning on doing so) but I don't see the point in banning it when it could bring in a significant profit for the government.
