We have problems with illegal slave trade here as well; shall we prohibit that as well, it's bound to get easier then to get cheap cleaners.

Dewrede said:

abierman said:

So you think this is a good thing?

Having watched 2 people lose their sight and suffer through years of pain, I fully support it.

Nobody's saying weed is great and everyone should do it...

Decriminalization is needed, prohibition has never worked, taxes could be made off of it like cigarettes. Remember second hand smoke kills too!

People will do whatever they want but to criminalize weed has made the criminals rich and lead to the same crime that prohibition did.

Mars23 said:

I understand.
So you support it for medical reasons only or also for recreational use?

Tremolina said:

I think the decriminalization of weed would be exactly what our economy needs right now and I would support it. I did alot of study in my con-law classes on "social" law and if we really wanted to apply the law equally, cigarettes would have been illegal long before pot as far as meeting the criteria for a class 1 controlled substance.

All drug addicts (weed, XTC, alcohol, ...) are losers.



End of story.

Drug use is a practice that dates to prehistoric times. There is archaeological evidence of the use of psychoactive substances dating back at least 10,000 years, and historical evidence of cultural use over the past 5,000 years. While medicinal use seems to have played a very large role, it has been suggested that the urge to alter one's consciousness is as primary as the drive to satiate thirst, hunger or sexual desire. Others suggest that marketing, availability or the pressures of modern life are why humans use so many psychoactives in their daily lives. However, the long history of drug use and even children's desire for spinning, swinging, or sliding indicates that the drive to alter one's state of mind is universal.

This relationship is not limited to humans. A number of animals consume different psychoactive plants, animals, berries and even fermented fruit, becoming intoxicated, such as cats after consuming catnip. Traditional legends of sacred plants often contain references to animals that introduced humankind to their use. Biology suggests an evolutionary connection between psychoactive plants and animals, as to why these chemicals and their receptors exist within the nervous system.

Suppose what will happen when they do in fact decriminalise it and marihuana related crime drops significantly. How do you think society will look then? Don't you think there are many parties involved, besides the criminals, that have an interest in the prohibition? Police for example will have less crime to fight, which may seem like a good idea for the taxpayer, but not for the police. And how about those witchhunting politicians? They will have one less "enemy" to score political points on. On the flip side, don't you think decriminalising it will lead to more users and therefore more drug use related problems?

Tremolina said:

Oh yeah, there's a business behind keeping things criminalized, it's called the prison industrial complex. Where's there's a money making system, there's a politician being influenced.

Making more users because of decriminalization? Are there more drunks because prohibition ended? Are there more smokers because of James Dean or John Wayne? These questions seem obvious to me and the answer to both, no.

Parents educate their kids and not to mention what people know now compared to what they knew then. So you hope for the best but history dictates otherwise.

I look at drunk driving deaths and the lung, throat and mouth cancer rates, where's the same question of criminalization and usage there?

and not to mention the organised crime that is running your so-called non addictive, intelligent drug.....
