It makes me SO ANGRY that it hasn't been outlawed nationwide yet. That's been ONE reason I'd consider moving to NY. People are worried about losing out on smoker's profits, but you have to be kidding me? I GUARANTEE YOU I'd be out at bars far more often if people weren't smoking.

The big drug companies have a HUGE influence in Washington.

If they could figure out a way to legalize it and make a huge profit, they would in a second.

Yes. The only problem is that once legal, they'd have to prevent people from growing it. That's the catch with pharms: you can't easily make them yourself.

At the root of the issue is this, it grows out of the freaking ground. All you have to do is dry it out and smoke it. There's no process to making it, it's 100% natural. It amazes me that something that grows from the earth is deemed illegal.

Is there anything else that grows naturally that is illegal?

No kidding. It's the epitome of a God complex.

I agree. I mean some things are poisonous that grow out of the ground. Are you going to be arrested for possession of them?

Well you can say cocaine, it starts as a plant then processed into the powder. So, in reality it isn't the actual plant your consuming. Its the plant that gets processed with chemicals and then its made into a powder form.

I think Opium is grows naturally,but I could be wrong.

i say hell yes

if your allowd to drink, which is much worse than getting high, it should be legal.

driving while high is much easier then driving while drunk, i've done both. i know its bad but...........

Warning: Opinionated Schneed Alert

I get frustrated with this discussion because I think marijuana is for losers and can't understand why people would want to smoke it. If it's going to be legal, then the government damn well better find a way to profit from it (tax the living shit out of it like they do tobacco and alcohol). If more morons are going to be getting stoned in my country, the government better have more resources to distribute to those citizens who choose not to live their lives like a bunch of apathetic 14 year olds.

If you're going to act like a moron, you should have to pay for it.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-10-2007, 04:08 PM

Do you feel the same way about booze?

So is drinking for losers too?

If not, other than legality why the difference?

Gmanc711 · 04-10-2007, 04:10 PM

If you can drink, you should be able to smoke. I've tried Pot, didnt like it just wasent for me, but I mean when you stack it up against everything else, its just amazing that some of the crap that is legal and thats not.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-10-2007, 04:10 PM

I mean, of course that's one's opinion, I just wanted to make sure you were consistent with it across the board.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-10-2007, 04:13 PM

Honestly, I'm going to be a very cool parent in that regard. I might have to do some hard thinking about weed, but I guarantee that my kids will be drinking with me and will have the leeway that IF they get drunk, I'd much rather them call me to pick them up than have them drive home drunk.

Right, I'm talking about things that are unprocessed. Things like coke, booze, etc., come from natural ingredients of course but need to be processed into their final forms.

I'm not sure about opium, but they do use the poppy seeds for food. I'm not 100% sure of the process of turning the plant into it's drug form though.
