It's banned now, keep it that way. Apart from cannabis (or is it cocaine) that is supposed to be good for your joints. It could be prescribed that way.

Alcohol was banned, too. They repealed the ban, and since alcohol is worse than cannabis, the ban on cannabis should be repealed, too.

whoa.

That's not why it was repealed, though.

The only reason it was repealed was because by that time alcohol had become too ingrained into society. Cannabis has not reached that stage yet, thankfully, and a ban will not be treated as an attack on our culture/history/whatever.

Wake up! Weed will ALWAYS be "illegal", as far as profiteering "Federal Governors", and their patsies treat other humans as "property".

That said, "weed", is a safer form of alcohol for teens. Not only is it "smaller" to hide in the pockets, it is also less intoxicating when consumed in several or large consumptions.

They will never understand that will they? I say if they want to do that then let them do it. There is a consequence for everything.

smoking weed and doing cocaine are completely seperate things. smoking weed doesnt kill you, might make you a little dumber but hey there is a price for everything. but when you do harder drugs you are literraly fucking yourself over. on this i agree with you gbull. but putting the two in one sentence isnt right since one is like having beer for example. and the other is drinking rubbing alcohol. what im trying to say is weed and coke/crack/ectasy and all that other chemical shit is not even close to eachother. and me saying weed isnt that bad by no means is me supporting the other shit.

Cant u all see its all about the roots of communication.

While we were still walking on 4 legs we perfected the art of communicating "BAD" or "DANGER" to each other to prevent one another from being eaten.

Weed is just a plant yet through various brain washing techniques wealthy business men have giving Cannibus bad names like "Dope", or "Weed", or "Marijuana", while laughing all the way to the bank as the price increased and the competition went to jail for years and years.

A great example is Baseball and steriods...

For decades nobody cared that huge muscled bound giants hit a ball with a stick very very far. Then the president used the "DANGER" communication technique and all the media followed suit. Now public opinion has turned as we see the once hero as the now "BAD/DANGER" scapegoat. Who owns who?

I believe (most) people are more advanced than 4-legged creatures, and should be able to make decisions for themselves.

Businessmen gave cannabis those "bad" names? Are you smoking right now? I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of those nicknames are terms of endearment, and weren't created by wealthy businessmen, but by those doing the smoking.

As for the whole steroid issue, the dangers weren't known about steroids, and when they have been known, then there was a public outcry, not a warning by the President.

The reason why marijuana is illegal is because the government couldn't regulate it. They couldn't tax it, so it wasn't worth keeping legal.

whoa.

I expect this response:

"But they had problems to begin with, that's not caused by using pot!!!"

Lots of people smoke cigarettes every day and don't develop anything. My grandmother smokes worse than a wood stove, but has not developed any smoking-related problems.

Does this mean it is actually good for you, or does it still make it bad?

actually on the floor right now laughing so much that I think my ass will fall off.

I fully believe that weed does worsen conditions such as schizophrenia (having lived with a paranoid schizophrenic and seeing the difference when he was stoned was pretty scary). It may even bring conditions that were unnoticable to a stage where it would be recognisable and diagnosed as a mental illness. I just don't buy the headlines that weed actually causes a normal mentally healthy person to develop a mental illness, I also believe that people as a general rule who suffer mental illnesses are statistically more likely to smoke weed for a number of social/economic reasons, a fact that is hard to proove but valid in my eyes and something that would have a major impact on studies/statistics surrounding the issue.

As I see it (biased of course) this should be a reason for legalising canibis as it would allow for some kind of regulation and monitoring of the mental health of pot smokers - making a basic mental examination a requirement to obtaining weed legally.

These studies haven't actually proven anything other than people with mental illness use weed. For all you know these people could have been self-medicating after they contracted the illness. And a proper control group wasn't used. So these studies are less then reliable.

Not to mention at least two of the people managing the studies were working for big pharmaceutical companies with interests in medicines for psychosis.

And most importantly which no one seems to have picked up on. Correlation DOES NOT EQUAL causation. Therefore these studies haven't proven anything assuming everything was peachy from the start.

this is more common than the self-diagnosis of asperger's in the goon population how is it obsCURE FUCKKK
