We should make tobacco illegal, but turn a blind eye toward it. The drug dealers can all sell cigarettes to everyone, instead of more dangerous elements, because they would make the same, maybe more profit, with less risk. And our drug problems go down.

Yes....but not for the sake of the drug war or joe blow pot-head, although they would benefit from it, but for the cancer patients who use it for weight control and the kids who mellow out and don't have to be pumped full of ridilin and end up loosing their entire sense of self.

I see nothing wrong with it being legal so long as a age limit is imposed, taxes are placed on it like alcohol and cigarettes, and its against the law to drive under the influence.....I can say and am not ashamed of it that I have insomnia problems, and i know that the times i did do weed it helped me sleep specially on those days where i was going on 72 hours without sleep...works better then the sleeping pills...but if you want to be against it being legal and say make cigarettes illegal then i say do alcohol illegal as well for its just as bad as the others...

At this point weed is not legal because they are having trouble figuring out how to tax it...

No...weed is illegal cause they don't have a "roadside test" as they do with alcohol to see if you are under the influence. The moment they DO have that, driving while under the influence will be illegal, as it is with alcohol, and it will be TAXED just like cigs and booze are now. (I want a concession for that product with a protected market!)
The taxation system, and the distribution network, and the licencing to grow (and other paperwork), and the growers are all in place NOW.....just waiting for a small breakthrough for testing, and we will have it legalized.

jimi....there is some power now going in custody cases where smoking in the home (tobacco) has been factored in as far as who gets the kids is concerned. It is slowly becoming a no-no to smoke at all! Ah well.....

In Canada we're decriminalizing pot. Anything under 15 grams will be treated the same way as a speeding ticket. Alcohol is a more dangerous substance; it's addictive, toxic and kills brain cells, pot doesbn't do any of those things and according to Health Canada is no more a health risk than smoking tobacco. That being said decriminalizing pot and legalizing are 2 different things. If the Canadian government legalized pot they would control the strength, price and distribution through the government run liquor stores. Seems like a great money maker for Ottawa and another reason for a great tourism boom in the True North.

Well you know Bird, bush might well be the one to make Pot leagle...

GWB is one of our more prolific Doper President's...

Eventhough Cocane is his drug if choice,The US Government conducted a study in 1883, that infact found NO Harmful side effects to smoking of ingesting Marauana/Canabus Setiva...(-;
Reciently The US Government conducted another more scientific searies of test's on Pot and again the test poved onlythat Pot is compleatly harmless and non adictive...(-;

So in reality there is no reason not to make POT leagle

We must remember that the family fortine of the bush cartel is forever linked to The Oil Industry...

Not because they trade in patrolium products,But because the use Oil Transport to smuggle their Drugs...(-;

Remember way back in the 70's and 80's there were once dry spell's on certain commoditis as a result of a major Drug Bust,and now everything is chea and plentiful...*J*

That's because when Daddy Bush was incharge of The CIA=Crime In Action, CHWB suggested transfering Drugs via helicpter frm tankers to Off Shore Oil Rigs,then bringing them on shore on Crew Boats...*J*

This was first accomplished right here in The Santa Barbara Channel, through Chevron,Standard Oil and Union 76,it worked so well that the took the tecnique down to Texas and went Whole Hog with it,we must remember that GWB was the Govener of Texas, it went on throughout the gulf states...

Then they wanted a more central hub,so the went to Mena Ark.where bill clinton was the govener,now are you starting to see a connection between Dope dealing and american President's...(-;

This is why I say that GWB would be the prime candidate for making POT leagle, it would ecome a Home Grown Indutry...(-;

Should any one wish to contest my story, simply go to From The Wildeness Dot Com
and you may study the entire can of worms in great detail...(-;

In the States.

Pot is not illegal it's a controlled substance. If you check out history you will discover that POT was endorsed by the federal government and requested by them to encourage farmers to cultivate large tracts of land to it right up to 1947. Since then the Agriculture agency has not issued a stamp to grow it, thus why it's a controled substance rather than an illegal one.

You can think the decetful vindictive little american stalin (J. E. Hoover) for this little treasure. If you would like to learn more about Hoover and his secret agenda and the formation of the FBI. Then read the making of how this man got to be were he was before he passed away as the director of the FBI. When he was a young whipper snapper he went after a man by the name of Marcus Garvey ( A civil rights leader in the 1920's) Hoover clearly demonstrates his evil intentions and the man he would become.

Nevertheless, by 1972 the U. S. Congress was about to decriminialize POT and would have done so if it hadn't been for one minor detail. A new drug entered into the American market "Cocain" and killed the idea.

you know once they legalize it.. the tobacco companies will try and take it over.. cause once weed it legalized, there cigarette sales will go down.. you will be paying 5 bucks for a pack of cigarettes and 20 bucks for a pack of marijuana cigarrettes..

Well Alaska did just pass some kind of law recently that delegalised it but that is still to be seen if it will last the test of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Unlike most people I firmly believe in States Rights. For god sake it was the states that formed the union and not the otherway around. However the federal government has done a very good job of erasing that simple truth. They would rather you believe the lie they have been spreading for the last 140 years than know the truth. Just ask yourself this question?

How can the U.S. call itself a union of states? when the states themeselves are in reality sovergin little nations joining their combined efforts for the better good of each other. If that be the case then anyone of the states should have the right to leave such a union should it chose to do so just like a marriage which can be dissolved or a contract amoung busniesses that fail to meet their obligation. So is it true with the United States. So how can it in all reality call itself United States if those states are held in together by cohersion & bondage???

I think we should legalize it. Just think of the tax revenues. Here in my part of BC anyway they would be huge. Not only the tax on the product but all the people around here that would start paying income tax too.

Other thing too is its harm is relatively small when compared to alcohol. Who ever heard of a bunch of people high on pot getting in a riot. There are more likely to be communal hugs than fights.

Everything should be legal so long as it's done in the privacy of your own home- your body, your decision, your FREEDOM.
