Great blog, D. Some day, some day.
Like it would stop you sucka!
Yes, it should. It isn’t harmless but neither are cigarettes nor alcohol.
We need the money.
Thats basically what I believe. It should be regulated like alcohol since people can’t regulate it themselves. We should allow it to be used, just like alcohol, for those people that want to use it. But it isnt something I am going to expose my kids to. Thanks for the comment Jon.
See December, It’s people like you who should be making these decisions! Not the people out there saying it shouldn’t be legalized because they dont want their kids smoking it… Pay attention to your kids then! It’s always up to the parents to show their kids what is right and wrong. As our good ol’ volgar friend Eminem once said in a song:
“Don`t blame me when lil` Eric jumps off of the terrace
You shoulda been watchin him – apparently you ain`t parents”
Eminem is a self-indulgent narcissist.
Hahahaha… ouch.
“No stems no seeds that you don’t need, Acapulco Gold is badass weed.”
I was concerned about posting this blog, and I awaited the backlash from some people. You on the other hand, have braiiins.
I miss your wit, paige.
I have no personal experience with it. I am also not a big drinker, but I don’t feel that my desires should dictate the rest of the country. If a person wishes to imbibe in private; doesn’t have anything to do with me. My husband (whom is not a smoker) has often said if they legalize pot there will be no more wars. Apparently it makes people very mellow.
I can see that, it certainly does mellow out pain for alot of people. I really appreciate you stopping in here to comment!
This topic has so many ups and downs. Ups more than downs, I think.
Look for a doumentary called “In Pot We Trust.”
It’s about people with different physical and metal disabilities who use pot to make them feel better. It eases their pain like a pain killer would, without pumping all those different drugs into their system.
There are SO many reason to legalize this stuff, that I am utterly shocked it hasn’t happened yet. Although, it is accessible for people with green cards, it is not for the ones who’s doctors didn’t beleive they needed it. Even though, they really do. &They have to go into the street and get ripped off by some crackhead because our government doesn’t realize what is going on.
Legalizing marijuana would mean lesser crime rates – More room in jail for the real killers and rapists that deserve to be in there!
The Government would make a KILLING off the taxes if they regulated and sold the pot themselves. That would mean more jobs for the people in our failing economy, and more money for the government. What the hell is wrong with that?
I beleive pot will be legalized in Canada wayyyy before the States, if they ever do. For the sole reason that alot of people in the states are against it so much. Most of Canada has kind of already accepted the fact.
Like I said in my personal message to you, I would never discourage someone from using THC as opposed to narcotics, But it is a personal decision. Everyone should police their own morals.
Thank you so much for your thought provoking comment.
(cont..)
The most obvious con would be people using the resource in the wrong way. Although it would be harder to sell the stuff if its in every convenience store, people would still find a way to screw around.
But thats the way our world runs, there’s always stupid people who will abuse the system. So does that mean that all of our society should suffer? What about people like me or you, who work for a living and just want to relax. I think I contribute enough to my society by doing the job that I do, to be able to enjoy a joint every once and while in the privacy of my own home.
How could the goverment say no to 14$ Billion dollars upfront, and possibly more if they put their own tax on it?
I like what this Allen guy is cooking up.
It is rumored that obama will rediscuss the topic come November, but Im no prophet.
I am really surprised the government hasn’t used weed to make money yet. It’s comin.
Just like alcohol during prohibition, people are going to smoke it anyway. the decision the government has to make is whether they want to spend billions on ‘the war against drugs’, or make billions on the regulation of private use.
not to say all drugs should be legalized, just because you can’t stop people from using them – but marijuana has always seemed like such a trivial substance to imprison people for using/selling. as trivial as the lesser tobacco or the more dangerous alternative, alcohol. the government should choose their battles more wisely.
Agreed 100%.
“the decision the government has to make is whether they want to spend billions on ‘the war against drugs’, or make billions on the regulation of private use.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I say let them have their weed. It doesn’t bother me any. I personally don’t smoke it anymore, but I know perfectly productive people (try saying that three times fast) who hold down jobs, pay their taxes, AND use weed. I’m sure people will get their panties up in a bunch over it, but its like you said. Prohibition of alcohol didn’t work, what makes us think that prohibiting marijuana is going to be different?
Back in the day people could take critical response without responding hatefully.
who is responding hatefully?
Your comment is tres confusing.
Criticism is meant to improve a person and is something to be considered, thoughtfully.
Marijuana is one of the most therapeutic substances in the world. I am a productive straight A college student that smokes marijuana on the side. Despite my obvious personal bias toward marijuana, that is not the reason why I want it legalized. I want marijuana to be legalized for two reasons: the benefits of hemp, and for tax reasons. Hemp can make paper more efficiently than wood, ethanol more efficiently than corn, and can break down nuclear waste at the molecular level. It can also make plastics. And it grows almost everywhere. If that doesn’t solve the energy crisis, I don’t know what will. Also, every time we catch a drug user, it costs thousands of tax payer dollars to put him through court and possibly incarcerate him. All for a substance that is probably as harmful for you as a King sized value meal at Burger King.
I’ve never smoked marijuana or tobacco, but I really don’t care if other people do as long as they are not bothering me or my family. I pretty much have the same stance as you on this. I think marijuana, like prostitution should be legalized and regulated. It will make it safer and bring in more income for the government through the taxes.
its waste of tax money to lock up small time dealers who are in other ways non-criminal..
prohibition of pot is vapid
“what I do care about is the ethical treatment of fellow human beings.”–Heh.. there was a Google news story this morning that was linked to The Washington Post, about the ethics exercised by the psychologists who were at the Guantanamo bay prison.
I’m all for ethical treatment, and not sure about the legalization of Marijuana, but I’m not against it… completely. The whole… Mexican Cartel thing… could that be seen as competition if the government were to legalize the stuff? Hahaha….. Lord knows how much of the Mexican police force+government is corrupt, the illegality of the drug trade not helping matters much, heh.
If people…. can responsibly use it… and the gvmt could find a way to control the substance….. I miight be in favor of it’s legalization–not that I’d use it, personally.
Ugh, I liked! So clear and positively.
Thanks

I’d kind of rather have people around me smoking marijuana than cigarettes, because the smoke/smell doesn’t get to me as much.
I agree about protecting the kids, but even if marijuana stays illegal as it is now, the kids who will smoke it will still smoke it. (Yay for having people around me as evidence of that?)
*nods* And it probably WILL be legalized (then regulated) within our lifetimes. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t already been, really.
It’s such a gateway drug. I don’t know if I could stand seeing it legalized, especially knowing how it can effect those who can’t and won’t use it responsibly.
Can i get a one small picture from your blog?
Have a nice day
