Should Marijuana Be Legalized Within The United States?

So is alcohol, and any other addictive medicine or substance. I think that you are being irrational, considering how it was legal until the government decided so in 1938. I just cannot accept how something that knowingly causes cancer like cigarettes can be legal while something that has been linked to helping glaucoma is illegal.


Quick question, you are also for a ban on hemp?
Hemp has a countless amount of uses, such as:
paper, textiles, fuels, food, sealants, and many more
This is banned by current laws.

baileycows argument has no logic. There are dozens of drugs that can alter driving function from legal ones like alcohol to illegal ones like narcotics. Even some presciption ones can cause impairment. It is illegal to drive while impaired period. Throwing thousands of people in jail for years at incredible cost of ruined lives and money in case someone drives impaired is illogical.

Insanity is keeping doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result. Prohibition of pot has not worked, yet law enforcement still thinks if they find enough grow fields and throw enough people in jail the will solve the pot "problem". It has not worked, is not working, and will not work, try something different and stop the insanity.

High Hunny!..lol..

I'm all for it, half the people here don't know what they are talking about.. lol

Ok..getting a new batch done soon..expect you in an hour..lol..
Just got some new vapes in today..they sell like crazy since i can't say enough about how much better they are for everyone..
pm me..

Hey:D

You make the brownies and I'll bring the coffee. I've used a vaporizer exactly once and can't wait to get my hands on another one. I live in a very small town and its over a hundred miles to the nearest head shop.

Just as an afterthought... all illegal drugs are illegal for a reason. Just think about what that crap does to people? And even if you're like me- never have and never will do any types of illegal drugs- even though you may not being doing it, some idiot next to you that is can go nuts and now you're in trouble because of the drug. Illegal drugs are illegal for a reason, and they need to stay that way.

wolfspiirit292,
But have you ever wondered WHY it's illegal? It has nothing to do with the effects it has on the human body, it's all about profitability. If you leagalize it, there's no way to make a profit off of it because it will grow ANYWHERE....there's a reson it's nicknamed "weed".

The Pharmaseutical companies would lose BILLIONS. They can't patent a plant like this and this stuff will be legal as soon as they can figure out how to make us pay for it, which they can't, so it won't.

Happy MyLotting!

That may or may not be true, but it does far more damage than it does good. I've seen what it does to people. I've you ever had to take down someone dopped up? With a gun? Cause they are too f'ed up to realize what they're doing and trying to rob a jobsite you're at? I'm an armed security guard and work everything from steel mills and scrap yards to stores and fast food joints. Mostly the more public places (because they know I can handle the action as well as the fact I'm more personable to the patrons). That being said, I mainly work a downtown scummy gang area where drugged up idiots aren't exactly a rare site. So, until anyone can say they've done what I have, I don't see how they can really defend the right for someone to be f'ed up like that. Not only are they going to have long-term effects, but also they put themselves, and more importently other INNOCENT people at risk. I don't care so much about what happens to the pot-heads and other druggies that come in, but I certianly care about all the innocent people around that could get hurt or killed, from nothing they did, but because of what someone else did. Therefore, no, I don't care if that was the real motivation or not... I care for the innocent who suffer for these people's irresponsiable actions.

Doesn't seem like you really read my post.
You're so set in one direction about this that you can't see anything else.
Close-mindedness isn't something I expected from you, but I guess it happens to the best of us.

Happy MyLotting!

Umm no, this happens to be a subject on which I already have my stance, as you can see. That does not in any way make me close-minded. I have listened to everyone elses opinions, including yours. I was giving my opinion on the matter, and even commented on your own. So, just because I still have the same opinion after listening to everyone else, that in no way makes me close minded. I'm very open minded to other ideas and beliefs. But, as I just said, even after everyone else's opinions on here, I still believe that innocent people shouldn't suffer for what druggies do.

Just because it grows wild everywhere doesn't mean that it's ok to use. There are pleanty of things that grow wild that are poisonious and bad for us, while other can make good medicine. Sorry, but in my opinion this isn't one of those things. As I said, it does more damage than good.

PrincessKitten I agree with you, that is exactly why it is against the law.
It doesn't make people act like wild animals if it did it would be taken alot more seriously, its true the only reason it isn't out on the streets with government approval is because of money, and how much they get in drug bust, its really f*cking ridiculous because prisons are being filled up with "druggies" instead of real criminals that actually did a crime. How is that for safe?, Criminals getting out early just because someone wanted to get high.. that isn't very safe and that isn't a world I'd like to live in. WolfSpirit292 said something about someone high being out of control, there is no way that was an effect of weed, it had to be sanity or some other drug, or maybe alcohol thats not against the law but it f*cks with people real bad, in fact the only reason alcohol isn't against the law is because too many people drank it and got piss when they tried to make it against the law. In Amsterdam you can go right into a store and buy all types of weed, and in fact there crime level is lower there than here, FOR THAT REASON!
I suggest looking into it fully everyone before you start speaking like you know what your talking about, because your just making yourself look stupid as f*ck.

Within the next few years there is no doubt in my mind it will get legalized, like it or not.

Ok, so I'm a stupid f*ck now? Look here, I'm in law enforcement and I know first hand what weed does. And yes, the particular incident I spoke of was a kid completely wacked out on weed, and ONLY weed. There was no other chemicals in his system. When he was done being detoxed I went to see him and he was the nicest kid ever. You would have never known it was the same kid that tried to hold up the site I was at.

So, I don't really care- as I already said- that it may or may not be the pharmacutical companies fault that it's illegal. I really don't give a f*ck. Cause I've seen what it does, to a variety of people, and I see how much they- and INNOCENT people- suffer afterward. So, you guys believe what you want, I don't care. You're entitled to your own opinions, AS AM I.

I don't care what anyone wants to do in their home. Get high, drunk, shoot up... I don't care. But if you come out and start involving innocent people, that's when I care. And I get very, very pissed off when that happens. No one will bring weed, crack, or alcohol within an INCH of my site if I'm there. Why? Because all those dumbasses know I'll beat them down and cuff them, and then let the cops take them away. I don't put up with that crap, and I don't think anyone else should either. Do what you want in your privates lives, but don't be high, drunk, etc, and then come out into public and make innocent people suffer because of you.
