The real question here should be why is bath salts illegal? A little cannibalism never hurt anyone

All I care about is that people stop making a big deal out of it. Woppity doo, you smoke weed, aren't you the coolest mofo on the block?

I wish, then I wouldn't have a record. OT: Marijuana causes the young to become lazy and useless, whereas alcohol has only short term effects that have no long term repercussions, so long as a person uses with responsibility.

Because it's more addictive. Or better yet, just don't. Or make it medical use only if you prefer...

Well, I can imagine a bunch of people going on break, "having a smoke", and then going back to work high. On a side note, that reminded me of something funny I saw in the news, which I've linked above.

1) I hate when weed kids get frantic and bring alcohol and tobacco into their conversation. 2) There is no reason it should be illegal. When they were first doing their tests they strapped gas masks onto monkeys. One of the anti weed politicians thought that it made black people more confident and scary. The same politician thought weed makes white girls crave black weiner. 3) The legalization of Marijuana would be good and bad. Better economy. More jobs. It wouldnt affect anyone so long as it was regulated the same as Tobacco/Alcohol. HEMP IS AN EXTREMELY BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO PAPER, ROPE, BAGGAGE, AND MUCH MORE. im not getting into the health part cause its your body idgaf what you do with it. unless its like meth, or heroine....dont do those. Another reason is that this plant is extremely hard to regulate. unlike chemicals such as alcohol anwacky tobacky. means its harder for the government to tax. take control of. and sieze if they wanted to.

There's nothing stopping people from growing their own in the back yard. Distilling alcohol is hard. Growing pot? Its easier than tomatoes.

If Marijuana was legal everyone who smoke it would move on to something that wasn't legal. It isn'tthe drug, its the rush.

Reading the replies gave me cancer

If legalization goes country wide, than let's not pretend like some huge corporation isn't going to take advantage of it eventually. You guys act like this would be a paradise if it were to happen, and it [u]might[/u] work out for a while. But you're completely neglecting the massive industries that already thrive off of their customers' addictions. I have no doubt in my mind that this will just become another one of them. Besides, if the only positive effects it has are for medicinal purposes, than why not just keep it legalized and regulated for medicinal use instead? No risk of it being made addictive, and the amount would have to be prescribed by someone qualified to do so.

If its legal, all the moronic chavs will suddenly become huge multimillionaire business men. And that would just be wrong on so many levels, a business man saying stuff like "innit bruv". No. Just no.

I don't have to pretend. I live in Washington.

Apparently back in 1880 it was actually illegal for farmers NOT to grow hemp plants in some specific place cant remember where

Weed smells like shit. Beer doesn't smell like shit. How's that?
