My opinion?.. Try to thoroughly grasp politics before you speak, Will ye?
First things first; educate yourself on the origins of the Federal Reserve Bank/govt, it's goals and influences on NA's economy.

So you don't believe in liberty?.. So you're pro-militarization of the police? You're pro-martial law, you're pro-NDAA, you're pro-big government, you're pro-waiting taxdollars on useless projects without knowledge to the public, you're pro-inflation of the dollar, you're pro-ignorant, obedient and complient?

You do know how big of a positive impact the legilzation of marihuana has been in certain states? Criminality rates dropping, alternate and more successful treatment of cancer, Alzheimer, seizures, etc..

Sigh.. You had one good point last week. Seems you're back to being appalingly ignorant.
I understand marijuana and I couldn't care less if it's legalized or not but why heroine and cocaine? For the principal? It's illogical to think that the use of those types of drugs won't spread once legalized.

You really think that's why cliffs are there?
A better analogy would be to consume poisonous berries or something, no? I don't think marijuana is really much worse than cigarettes but the analogy works.

Smoke is not good for you :/

.....You don't have to smoke it. There's edibles from baked goods, candies, drinks, sauces. They have dabs where it's concentrated thc in droplets.

There's tons of options for people.

That is great. I wish everyone would defer to non-smoking methods then. It is still unhealthy though :/ But to me the biggest issue is that other people have to put up with the smoke, so if that were not a problem, I would be less inclined to care. Still, I wish people would not think that they have to do that kind of stuff :/

it always comes down to taxes. The same reason prostitution is illegal. Way to hard to tax.

Not really unhealty at all, you're just uneducated on the matter like most. Nothing wrong.

Also even though it's legal where I am completely, it's illegal to be caught in public doing it. Mostly to not influence younger kids, but you can't even smoke it in bars or what not. Legally anyways.

But then there's also vaporizers that a lot of people use. It vaporizes either the concentrated oil, wax, flower and is ordor less in like a rechargeable pen. It's literally steam. Also it's stealthier.

It's not hard to tax at all. In fact when I was last home I heard the city made over 100 million in sales taxes from medical and recreational from 2015 alone.

Prostitution is something completely different. That would be hard to tax, weed no.

Because there was a treaty or something in UN about banning drugs that included weed with hard drugs like coke. US went around pressurizing countries to ban it, they had a drug war or some shit going on at that time. It was openly smoked in my country but then it got banned and social stigma grew around.

They should legalize it or at least not consider it as serious offense.

You think you can end poverty, wealth inequality, prejudice, disease etc? You want to live a fantasy world, well, that it exists in your brain but not in the real world.

I believe in protection; if I see someone hurting himself with drugs, I'll protect him even it's none of my business.



(2014) Of the 1,561,231 arrests for drug law violations in 2014, 83.1% (1,297,384) were for possession of a controlled substance. Only 16.9% (263,848) were for the sale or manufacturing of a drug.

(2013) Of the 1,501,043 arrests for drug law violations in 2013, 82.3% (1,235,358) were for possession of a controlled substance. Only 17.7% (265,685) were for the sale or manufacturing of a drug.



Oh really?

Marijuana is not safe:

#1 the article states marijuana smoke causes cancer in those that smike cigs also,wth its just the cigs and of cousre if you use papers or tobacco to roll weed its worse than a bong.
#2 i immediatly stopped reading when it said you can overdose from eat8ng weed in brownies and such,misinformation at its finest never have nor never will some9ne die from marijuana overdose you would literally have to smoke 2 acres of marijuana at once to od.there was a canadian doctor that ate tons of weed cookies to test this theory and he stated its impossible to overdose.
Please get your facts straight it you havent tried it dont belive everything you read.thats like me trying to tell a holocaust survivor i know more about what you experienced because some doctor and politician told me so.sounds real dumb right.

Legalizing cocaïna and heroïne would ruin underground trading, hinder cartel's businesses and thus reduce criminality rates even further.
The delusion of protection by law that most people stand by is both amusing and sad. These drugs are illegal yet there are billion-dollar underground businesses and people that want these drugs can easily get them. What's the point of the war on drugs Then.

You think that most people who have never tried these drugs would suddenly start doing it when they're legalised?..no. It's a deception and the Federal government is using that to it's advantage.

And no, marijuana is not as bad as cigarettes.. The chemical combination of tobacco and marijuana is bad. Pure marijuana is not. Only when Used excessively, and like I said, anything is bad when Used excessively.

Didn't even notice the above mentioned in the link. I Figured it was a government funded fake research. It's impossible to overdose on marijuana. I quit smoking it a while ago but I can remember I had too much one day and I just slept for 16 Hours, woke up feeling just fine. Another lie to delude the masses.

Well, whatever it is there must be a reason they illegalized it.

Well back in the day, it was for a really stupid moral thing. Now its illegal because its better material that the cheap products big companies produce use. It's also illegal because it brings government entities like the DEA money. Its also illegal because private prison companies have the money to push for it to be illegal.

So its illegal for no good reason.

it's hard to tax because people can grow, distribute and produce their own. rather easily.
