If you hate cannabis, would you ever reconsider your stance on the drug?

In a society where alcohol use is so heavily used and abused, would you consider marijuana a safe alternative to alcohol?

When you smoke, do you get the munchies

and sit on your fat ass all day? Or is it more of a

giddy time?

Do you have? a mind??

opr000m,

really, my opinion is depends on the topic of marihuana.

I am support for Marihuana, If people got hurt themselves body. they can use smoke marihuana. It would be more better, not like that with the medicine. The medicine is worse than Marihuana.

I am support for Marihuana, If people do have have fun and enjoy smoke with marihuana, It is more better than alcoholic. If People drink a lot of alcoholic, they would become aggressive. how sad!!!

I am not support for Marihuana, If People use everyday with marihuana.
that is all!

supposedly 90% of mediciene is created by petro chemicals. the same stuff drilled out of oil wells. Probably why most medicine is so toxic.

Weed and opium were made illegal to maximize profits for drug companies. Over the counter medicine like aspirin and tylenol kill about 10k people every year. It has nothing to do with safety

Thats why I don't like to be around people who does drugs, its very uncomforable and who knows who is going to be busting the door down and Im not going to be in that situation! Im going to stay clean and be with drug-free people....

People use drugs as a excuse to help reduce stress and it does not solve anything~ If you need something to help reduce stress go to the doctor and talk to them what your feeling and most of the time they will help the best they can. They can give you some medications to help reduce stress like valuim or other etc. But with Marijuana your taking a risk of getting your ass busted, but with the medication that the doctor gave you, there is a less chance of getting busted since it's a order from the doctor. It's for your own safey! Why risk your reputation with marijunana?? Have more common sense and think of your life?

It's my 2 cents

Well I have 2 say I don't agree ... I just lost my hearing in nov. 07 2 menengitis and I would have been a basket case if I didn't smoke .. Its a hard thing 2 deal with going from great hearing never having a problem 2 nothing at all ... it allows me 2 stop thinking about it and just relax for awhile... not really shut my brain off but slow the bad thoughts and allow me 2 think about something else besides my lose of hearing... and 2 me it is better than goin 2 the Dr. So what he can put me on another narc. That's not a good plan and there are so many more side effects 2 the pills U get from the dr.. Than smokin a Bowl.... Fo'Shizzle U can't go 2 jail for knowing someone that smokes... I was a bar tender and I like stoners a lot more than drunks a lot easier 2 deal with.... and I think pot is less harmful than booze all the way around..

No thanks to smoke the dope of Marijuana unless it medical reasons. But here a little joke on Marijuana.

A smart criminal would answer, “No.” Then again, a smart criminal wouldn’t have called police to report that his marijuana had been stolen.

“Even the dumb criminals are generally smarter than this,” said Orem Police Lt. Doug Edwards.

Police received a call Monday night from an 18-year-old Orem man reporting that his home had been broken into and that the quarter-pound of marijuana he had been trying to sell was missing.

The burglar had broken a window and apparently cut himself while crawling into the home, Edwards said. The trail of blood indicated that the thief’s efforts were concentrated on the 18-year-old’s bedroom, where the drugs had been kept.

The Orem man told police that earlier Monday a 23-year-old Provo man had called him about purchasing the marijuana. The deal didn’t take place, however, because the 18-year-old was on his way to work, police said.

“(He) thought that (the Provo man) might be a good suspect in the case,” Edwards said.

Officers agreed and tracked the Provo man to his mother’s home, where they also found 6 ounces of marijuana and a pair of blood-soaked pants.

The man, who had a large cut on his arm, was arrested and booked in the Utah County Jail on Monday night for investigation of burglary, theft and possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone with the intent to distribute.

With the stolen property recovered, officers called the 18-year-old and requested that he come to the Orem Public Safety Building to identify the bag of marijuana.

“He actually came and identified it as his,” Edwards said.

The 18-year-old was taken into custody and booked in the Utah County Jail just after midnight for possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone with intent to distribute.

“I have no clue as to why (the 18-year-old) would report this crime to the police,” Edwards said, “but thank goodness that he did

Word of an advice,, don't end up the joke in the story! tsk!

After my deep research about the marijuana around the internet, I would like to post about my research.

War on Drugs

My opinion about the War on Marijuana, it has never, NEVER, solve anything except for destroying people's lives and their families, even death, and cause pothead became panic and hard to trust other new people which cause them islotated themselves. Also, my opinion, marijuana doesn't kill anyone (not even one, in the fact), but war on marijuana does kill.

Here's some of examples.

Quote:

Casey Matthews was arrested in his home in North Carolina and convicted of trafficking marijuana by possession, manufacturing marijuana, maintaining a vehicle/ dwelling for sale/delivery. His sentence is a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 to 30 months.

Correspondence
A friend of mine was in a bad situation. I chose to help because I don't believe there is anything morally or ethically wrong with marijuana and it would have helped a friend in dire straits...

... I was dragged out of the house, thrown to the ground, restrained while the team secured the house. After searching, they read the warrant and proceeded to try to obtain information. I responded that I simply had nothing to say until my lawyer was present. I was taken to the county jail, booked, and placed under a $100,000 bond. (a man who was charged with rape was only given a $30,000 bond)

Quote:

Rita Faye Quick was arrested in North Carolina for trafficking, distribution, repackaging, maintaining a dwelling, and conspiracy involving 220+ pounds of marijuana. Ms. Quick was sentenced to 140 to 168 months, which was reduced to 105 to 126 months through an appeal. The other parties involved spent no time in jail, and were sentenced to six months probation in exchange for their testimony against Ms. Quick.

At the time of her arrest Ms. Quick was a 43 year old single parent of two young daughters. She was a full-time homemaker, and also an outspoken activist for the legalization of marijuana in her hometown.

Richard Armstrong was arrested in September of 1993 after attempting to buy marijuana. He is currently serving his 8th year of a 30-80 year sentence at the Ross Correctional Institution in Ohio after being convicted on four counts: 1) Engaging in Corrupt Acts, 2) Drug Trafficking, 3) Possession of a Criminal Tool, and 4) Theft. Since his incarceration, Richard has developed terminal cancer, been separated from his wife, and found it difficult to see his 10-year old son, Aaron, and his 82-year old mother. Although Richard is up for parole in February 2005, he is likely to die in prison.

War on Drugs is not cool, and are very sad.

If the war on marijuana doesn't help, why does the marijuana remain illegal?

Well the marijuana are on the Schelude 1, which the marijuana does not fix in at all. Here's what the Schelude 1 said.

Quote:

Schedule I
*The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
*The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
*There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
Examples: Heroin, LSD, Marijuana, MDMA (Ecstasy), methaqualone (Quaalude).

Removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First of all, there are very rarely people who are pothead that are abusive compare to alcohol which most of alcoholism tend to be emotionally and abusive.

Secondly, recently the health studied that the marijuana help many of pains people have, even some of people said that the marijuana helps better than the pain killer pills, also it help the glacuomca, and even the cancers.

Thirdly, see the first and second again.

So of course, the marijuana doesn't fix in the Schelude 1 at all. Also remember, this is from 1970s and it is too old for the modern world today with higher health study and more.

Other reason why it was illegal, which I suspect, is the money. Governments love the money so they prefer to keep the marijuana illegal so they can receive money from the fines against the people who was arrested for smoking the marijuana. This, my opinion, is really terrible. I would rather to see people happily shop for the marijuana from a nice Mary Jane store and it keep the ecomonic boom, also what's wrong with the taxes instead of the fines? It's better for us to see that over those people who pay the fines and sleeping in the ugly concrete building.

If marijuana should be legal, why it was illegal while the alcohol was legal?

I do suspect over the government about the money through this question again. Remember, the governments want more arrests so they can get more money from the fines. Since the marijuana does not cause emotionally or abusive, the alcohol does so there will be more arrests for violence, rape, murder, etc which serve the governments more money from the fines. That's why I never like the governments that much myself.

Well isn't alcohol enough for the people to buy and screw themselves up legal?

Believe it or not, most of people don't drink and smoke the marijuana at the same time, most of people prefer the marijuana at a time or the alcohol at a time. There's fewer people who drink and smoke the marijuana at the same time, even some people dislike alcohol, but like marijuana!

What if they legalize the marijuana, more people, especially teenagers, smoke it?

First of all, since some of states had decriminalized the marijuana, the amounts of arrests nor numbers of potheads doesn't increase that much.

Also, in fact, there's more teenagers drinking the alcohol which lead them to be alcoholism when they turn into 21 which lead them into being emotionally and abusive. My opinion, as my personal pothead friends who raised with pothead parents, they are not abusive or emotionally and they continue as pothead today and still friendly people, they just want to have fun. The only thing I see them become emotionally is when they become panic when they are facing to be arrested.

If there are people who have problem with the marijuana, what can we do?

My opinion, it's people's choice to consider their habit with marijuana as problem or not. Just like the alcohol, some people don't feel like they have problem with the alcohol even though they do, some of them feel they do have alcohol problem. But since the marijuana seems doesn't cause emotionally or abusive, there will be fewer people who have the problem with the marijuana compare to the alcohol.

Is there any way I can support to legal the marijuana?

Yes! Go to Marijuana Law Reform - NORML, you can find many interesting stuff there and they just kept updating any news or alerts to request the support, help you find lawyer, help you to keep away from being arrested, etc.

Lol I couldn't stop laughing at this post. And alcohol doesn't cause damage?? But yeah, the funniest part was- I know this is

but in regards to the god perspective- 'Good men do good things, and bad men do bad things. But for good men to do bad things, that takes religion'.

But yeah, I have experimented with marijuana before. Had the usual giggly high with friends, it was hell fun. Nothing harmful about it, but like everything else- its ok to use, but not to abuse. (scientifically speaking, there is no evidence whatsoever to prove that marijuana has serious harmful effects. It has been commonly speculated that it is linked to schizophrenia- but that remains SPECULATION- it has yet to be proved. Don't get me wrong, I don't have much admiration for drug abusers, but like with anything else, moderation is the key. The widespread fear of marijuana has been engineered by institutional and social controls, or for a better term, a longstanding moral panic.

Moral panic is a sociological term, coined by Stanley Cohen, meaning a reaction by a group of people based on the false or exaggerated perception that some cultural behavior or group, frequently a minority group or a subculture, is dangerously deviant and poses a menace to society. It has also been more broadly defined as an "episode, condition, person or group of persons" that has in recent times been "defined as a threat to societal values and interests". Namely, in this case, marijuana.

Couldn't agree more. All drug laws are socially created, and in most instances, have absolutley nothing to do with scientific fact.

Just an observation: It makes such sound sense to de-criminalize drugs, to make them available at reasonable prices by prescription or other legal means.

It's crazy, but it seems the chief resistance to such an idea is that it will put so many people out of work: illegal drug dealers . . . career criminals who must commit crimes to pay for habits . . . law-enforcement officers only trained to combat drugs . . . more and more prison guards . . . social and welfare workers. This may seem like my usual sarcastic joke, but it's not.

You hit the nail on the head, Chase. The war on drugs was lost years ago. The majority simply failed to recognize such.

Exactly. Wars on Drugs doesn't help anything except for packing people in the prison and cost people who don't use the marijuana the taxes. It's better to just legal the marijuana and funding the group for those who really have problem with the marijuana.

quit a ways back.....finally outgrew it......rhuematic, it stopped working for me, same with booze.........not for me to judge
it is psychologically addictive.....too expensive
I can see a terminally ill person using it for comfort....but have to wonder about some others...the addiction doesn't concern me or people being high....just have to believe that all that smoke can't be good for anyone.......... reports that weed higher in carcinogens than tobacco.....

Congress To Consider Legislation To End Minor Pot Arrests -- First Marijuana Decriminalization Bill In Over Two Decades To Be Filed Imminently
Share This Page del.icio.us | digg | Stumble Upon | Facebook

March 27, 2008 - Washington, DC, USA

Washington, DC: US Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) will introduce legislation in Congress to strip the federal government of its authority to arrest responsible cannabis consumers. Representative Frank made the announcement last week on the nationally syndicated television show, "Real Time With Bill Maher."

"It's time for the politicians to catch up with the public on this [issue]," Frank told host Bill Maher, who sits on NORML’s Advisory Board. "The notion that you lock people up for smoking marijuana is pretty silly."

Frank's pending bill seeks to eliminate all federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of marijuana. Under this measure, adults who consume cannabis would no longer face arrest, prison, or even the threat of a civil fine. The bill also eliminates all penalties prohibiting the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of pot.

NORML Legal Counsel Keith Stroup, who worked closely with Frank's staff to draft this legislation, said, "If passed by Congress, this legislation would legalize the possession, use, and non-profit transfer of marijuana by adults for the first time since 1937."

The bill incorporates the primary recommendations of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission), which affirmed to Congress 36 years ago, "The actual and potential harm of use of the drug is not great enough to justify intrusion by the criminal law into private behavior, a step which our society takes only with the greatest reluctance."

Currently, 12 states and numerous municipalities have enacted versions of marijuana decriminalization, eliminating criminal penalties for minor pot violations. Passage of these laws has not led to increased marijuana use.

To date, the only US government study ever commissioned to assess whether the enforcement of strict legal penalties positively impacts marijuana use found, "Overall, the preponderance of the evidence which we have gathered and examined points to the conclusion that decriminalization has had virtually no effect either on the marijuana use or on related attitudes and beliefs about marijuana use among American young people."

Similar statewide legislation is pending in New Hampshire and Vermont. Additionally, Massachusetts’ voters will likely decide on a statewide decriminalization measure this November.

According to a nationwide CNN/Time Magazine poll, more than three-quarters of American adults favor decriminalizing marijuana.

For more information, please contact Keith Stroup, NORML Legal Counsel or Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director, at (202) 483-5500.

As for someone mentioned its an addiction; technically it is, if you don't have a control. IE: over-spending, smoking more than should and non coherent thoughts and what not. But that only when a dumb one is actually dumb. I'm not addicted but addicted anyway!!!

So I'm NORML.

Exactly, if someone don't like something then that person shouldn't pick it up, it's a simple that way. It's absolutely not their business.

Exactly, just like the alcohol. Some people are addicted to the alcohol, but some not. But in recently science studies reported that marijuana are less addictive compare to alcohol.

Ohh yeah, that is one of marijuana's biggest myth. There's no scienific reports that marijuana is such a "gateway" to other drugs, plus most of potheads stay with the weed instead of going to different drugs.

Actually, mother's milk and baby formula are the true gateway drugs to heroin and crack. Scientific studies show that 100% of all drug criminals were at one time or another fed mother's milk or baby formula.

Humor aside, even if marijuana and other recreational drugs are legalized as liquor is, the laws regarding driving and operating equipment dangerous to co-workers and the public while under the influence need to be strictly and mercilessly enforced.

Weed and opium were made illegal to maximize profits for drug companies. Over the counter medicine like aspirin and tylenol kill about 10k people every year. It has nothing to do with safety

It's crazy, but it seems the chief resistance to such an idea is that it will put so many people out of work: illegal drug dealers . . . career criminals who must commit crimes to pay for habits . . . law-enforcement officers only trained to combat drugs . . . more and more prison guards . . . social and welfare workers. This may seem like my usual sarcastic joke, but it's not.

Twelphe Numb, bah Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 105	You cannot say M isn't good for anybody, it is just simply is not for everybody. May be for some may not be for some. I am for one. My friend isn't for one just like smoking cigarettes. As for someone mentioned its an addiction; technically it is, if you don't have a control. IE: over-spending, smoking more than should and non coherent thoughts and what not. But that only when a dumb one is actually dumb. I'm not addicted but addicted anyway!!! So I'm NORML. I hate ppl think this is an inital gateway drug. But really, can't we all get a bong?

Scientific studies show that 100% of all drug criminals were at one time or another fed mother's milk or baby formula. Humor aside, even if marijuana and other recreational drugs are legalized as liquor is, the laws regarding driving and operating equipment dangerous to co-workers and the public while under the influence need to be strictly and mercilessly enforced.
