Legalise Marijuna kthxbai

YOU WILL >:[

I wouldn't care, plus it would stop the glorification of it because it wouldn't be "bad" to do it

Legalize marijuana so the government can tax it and I can grow my own field without fear of undue persecution.

legalize all drugs kthxbai.

legalize marijuana so a drug company can manufacture some awesome dope. And you know, for the other mountain of evidence for it.



The fact is the american psyche is fucked up, the average person thinks that if something is "wrong" it should be illegal, drugs, prostitution, gambling, bad words on TV, violent video games, you name it. It is indoctrinated into us from birth, and then we pass it on. It took me a while to split off and get these silly views out of my head, and I credit that to things I've read on the internet, and I think the internet gives hope to libertarianism and generally more reasonable government. In about 15 years or so when our generation, the children of the baby boomers, starts to assume power I think we will see a change for the better.

Legalizing marijuana would actually be beneficial to the economy as a whole. There are plenty of safe ways to consume tropinone and the free market would ensure that these ways are exploited to the full as an alternative to the dangers of breathing in smoke which only a moron is unaware of. People could consume safe marijuana safely in the comfort of their own safe homes or in the safety of a public place such as a coffee shop. They would then suffer no mental problems as the production of marijuana would be scrutinised to ensure it is safe. Marijuana consumption would be more well adapted by contemporary culture and no longer part of an obscure underground that few people have expertise in, improving safe and practical usage of the safe strains of the plant developped by the free market. Relax.

I see no reason marijuana is illegal.
I just think its a fucking conspiracy with cotton,lumber,and wool company's because hemp can be made into paper,clothing, and rope

To this day I still can't find the constitutional authority the federal government uses to ban any substance.  They have the right to ban importation of drugs into the country, but the use, sale, and production within a state of any substance is quite clearly the purview of that state.  Why did we need the 18th Amendment if the Federal government is allowed to wave a magic wand and make anything it wants illegal?

The federal government has the right to prevent people from forcing or coercing others into taking harmful narcotics and spreading misinformation about them, but not to prevent their possession.

i dont know why they don't legalise drugs. people take them anyway. what does it matter if some impressionable fifteen year old accidentally dies from taking this or that? its their fault for not knowing better. blah.

Marijuana is for lazy people who need to "Feel good"

So? People drink a bear as a pleasure? People smoke a ciggerette as a pleasure? Why not marijuana?

*beer

I suck bear cock for pleasure

There is nothing else that will make you feel the same way. And you don't feel nearly as bad when you smoke too much pot (impossiblE) as when you drink too much (death).

Anti-marijuana mentality is for lazy people who don't do their "research".

Funny you should mention that, though.  I don't get high very often anymore, but when I do, all I wanna do is exercise.

>>7
Me either.

mmkay children, i smoke weed and i do not support the legalization of marijuana. I know about your "well its a plant" argument and i agree with that too, considering weed was banned in the first place so mexicans wont take american  dollars (no bullshit, hit up a history book). BUT we have to think of the broader implications. The way society works today is dumbass 13 year olds want to be cool, mature hardasses, doing drugs gives them this illusion, so they toke up, with no long term consequences. But, if we leagalize it, what will the kids start to do so they can "rebel"? weed wont be cool anymore cause its legalized, heres what.. Cocaine and other hard drugs. And i really dont want a bunch of crack heads, however funny it would be, running the country when i die, so, fuck the legalization of marijuana, who gives a shit about the law anyway,

true, and not that many cops do anything about marijuana, if you keep in a private establishment then the chances of you getting caught are hovering above 0

"BUT we have to think of the broader implications. The way society works today is dumbass 13 year olds want to be cool, mature hardasses, doing drugs gives them this illusion, so they toke up, with no long term consequences."

If marijuana was legalized, the black market for it would be virtually wiped out and replaced with regular, mostly-law-abiding dealers and businesses.  From that point, it would be very easy to pass a law that you must be 21 to buy pot, much like you must be 21 to buy alcohol today.  Black market drug dealers will sell to whoever the fuck they want because they are outside the law.. and if this includes 10 year olds on streetcorners or on playgrounds - they will.  Most legal-alcohol dealers are far more scrupulous in their customers.  Legalizing drugs would entrust the sale of such substances to this more law-abiding crowd, and it would then be easier and more effective at that point to restrict the sale of said substances to young children.

Woops, forgot to respond to this.  The same argument I outline above applies to pretty much any drug... legalizing it will destroy the black market, and ordinary lawful dealers would no-doubt be far more scrupulous in who they sell to - enabling us to keep the stuff away from children more effectively.

I see no good reason not to legalize marijuana.  Legalizing it would, as I mention above, destroy harmful and violent black markets, and help give us more control over who it is sold to (so we can keep it out of schools & playgrounds more effectively, for example).  At the same time, it would offer a less-harmful alternative-drug to adults who might smoke or drink alcohol or tobacco right now.  Plus, it would reduce the enormous sum of money we spend every year on the bullshit drug war and help us balance the government budget.  It also has great potential medical benefits and uses.

"If marijuana was legalized, the black market for it would be virtually wiped out and replaced with regular, mostly-law-abiding dealers and businesses."

Correct. This is reason #1 why it should be legalised. The black market actively avoids the law and often faces little competition, whilst the free market operates under the law due to fear of being shut down and because it needs customer trust in order to make a larger profit.

Marijuana doesn't need to be legal.  It's easy enough to obtain and you'll only be caught if you're a complete fucking retard.

It is my wish that I be able to eat ganja muffinz and drink coffee, at a coffee shop.

>>24
It is my wish to force world leaders into being good to their people through fear of being killed via a death note, but it's not happening anytime soon.

Though chances are it wont' be legalized in America anytime soon there needs to be a movement to decriminalize the use of dope.

There is really no real reason for it to be illegal. People will argue by saying it makes people lazy.
Well shit, atleast it's not the leading cause of fucking death in America like cigarettes.

>>26
but it will be if legalized because it's even worse for the lungs

>>26
I agree that weed should be decriminalized.  There's no reason you should do jail time for having a joint or two in your possession.  It's just a burden on the system to jail every single person who has a little pot.  Though I think arresting people with large quantities/dealers is still reasonable.

This is like a test tube example of the failure of the Drug War.  We banned the drugs.  This created a black market.  Prices soar, and there is a seemingly endless number of people willing to try and get drugs to those with the money to pay.  If you can't even keep the stuff out of prisons, what makes you think Drug Prohibition is keeping drugs off the streets? It quite simply isn't.  It is just a big-fucking waste of money, not to mention the denial of the rights of millions of americans who are otherwise law-abiding the right to their own body.

Allowing drugs actually prevents people from taking them, like tobacco, am I rite?

>>32
No, it doesn't prevent them from taking them.  But nor does prohibition, clearly.  Of course, legalization would make us all far more free, save us more money, and stop the brutal raping of our civil liberties we typically allow in the name of attempting to enforce prohibition.

Lock marijuana users up and throw away the key.

>>35
Why?

>>35
yeah! how woul u get them out if u throw away the key? you'd have to make a new key each time you want to open teh door!

to the cool kids who doubt taking drugs will be cool anymore; look , alcohol is far more accepted in todays society, if we replaced alcohol with marijuana we would still come to a similar situation. And just think of the next generation of fuckheads and their kids thereafter.

>>38
Maybe we should try banning alcohol?

>>39

Then only niggers would have alcohol.
