Should marijuana be legalised?

Seems to be enjoyed by quite a few people here, so should it be made legal?
What are the pros and con's?

I think there is a case for it to be legalised assuming self control in the same way alcohol is assumed

Yes it should :p

No

It gave me a head ache once

Yes, when I had cancer, a nurse recommended it and even got me some. God bless nurses!
But I became worried I would become addicted, and then move on to morphine or something. Fortunately it didn't happen, but for a while there, the pain was so unreal, I would have taken or done anything!!

Because you do not like it, it should be illegal.
The [il]logic of so many people. :D

Politicians give me a headache. Perhaps they should not be legal.

I would say yes too.

I'm over 10 years recovery now, thank God. But I will never forget the little Irish nurse, God bless her. You couldn't pay her enough, the support she gave me, and others. I go back every year, soppy bastard and bring gifts, she made a real positive difference to just not my life but many others

Yep

Id make a good dictator

I was a big dope smoker for years never did me any harm apart from the odd cough.
Was a big drinker for years and it nearly ruined me its the most harmful poison going.
Now I am tea total and don't smoke but have an escort habit that I am happy enough with lol
We all need a release of some description and weed is great so it should be legalised for those that want it with careful attention to certain strains that may be too potent and cause strong hallucinations.
A bit of hash, grass or oil is just a natural remedy that should be enjoyed.

Smoking dope can affect your life. I used to smoke it in my 20s/30s. I found myself becoming more and more lethargic and lacking motivation and drive. In effect, becoming a dope head. Gave it up and my career returned.

Now, I still smoke a J once in a while, but strictly that, once in a while. Maturity will keep me on the even keel. But for younger peeps I fear falling into the same dope head trap I did.

Should it be legal? Yeah. But with a warning IMO

I think all adults should be able to purchase some clean cannabis with advice. They can then take or leave that as they please.
Whereas in an illegal situation some may over consume, while others never get a pass at some. :smoking:

I think it should be legalised -- with age restriction , and with strict controls : dispensary distribution ONLY .

Dispensaries should be held to the very same legal standards as pharmacies (chemists) are re licensing

and documentation etc.

: Cut out the illegal dealers , cut down on crime (hopefully) , cut down on 'altered' sh*t [[PCP or Formaldehyde

laced grass !!]]


By now there are so many documented medicinal benefits ! >>> cancer pain relief , Aids wasting syndrome ,

glaucoma , etc. )

It's not really my cup of tea ... if I was gonna go down that road I prefer hash in Kathmandu ...

But !

Yea yea yea .. Ye boys trying to get a rise outta me :) ?

I've never seen anyone murdered by a splif whereas guns have killed many .

Yet , legislation -- reasonable legislation !! -- lacks in both areas .

In my Very humble opinion x

Actually I was saying your comment was exactly right for both circumstances.

Guns don't kill, its the bullets that do that.:p

well unless you get hit over the head with a gun. lol

Now back to my Kathmandu Hash !!!

Earthquakes and schedules interfering !!!

(I feel absolutely horrible for all the lives lost in that double tragedy , I was supposed to be there in one of the

guesthouses that is no longer there . Just by the grace of God , and good fortune and Karma and whatever else

that I am not dead in the rubble !) .

But by now , from a few months' distance , and now playfully discussing this subject of 'Should Weed be Legal' , darn !

Indeed we do -- in a way ?

: I want to continue to have my right to own and bear arms (single action handgun , hunting rifle , shotgun , etc. ) ;

but see absolutely no reason to have fully automatic weapons , assault rifles in civilian hands .

>> that's my idea of 'gun control' .

Proper gun control might negate the need for the first quote.

As I said before , much more stringent controls and checks should be in place . Period !!

Cassandra said and I wholly concur : Not Everybody Should Have The Right To Own or Even to just Handle a Firearm !

: Background checks ; GunShow Loophole excised ; thorough follow up on previous weapons offenders , etc.

Mental Health background checks !!! Vital ! x


: but I want my revolver and my hunting rifle ;) !! x

Let's get back to the OP : Marijuana use and should it be legal :smoking: x

Let stupid people be stupid people says I :D

Hi Steph :flirt:

It is a niche activity and the taboo can be intense. The media get stories from it that abstainers will threat about.
Even though it is gaining respect rapidly in the medical sphere, it will take some time for society to be mature about it.
Go to gardening classes in the meantime...:flowers1:

Kathmandu what a city, the most friendliest race of people in the world :)
And they sell hash on the streets freely :D

Ya I have friends out there, house damaged but fixed now :)
The village where they came from was flattened but no one killed TBG

Not too sure about legalising hash ??? but when you see what damage alcohol doe,s well it throw that argument out the window.
Let it be sold in legalised shops under proper controls. Might make alot of criminals redundant :D

What you talking about, some time no see. I saw you this morning getting out of the shower as I was peeking through the win..........

Umm............... I didn't say anything :cool:

Miss your warm embrace :flirt:

yes................

What type of weed you have seems to be a big factor in how it affects you. Certain strains really gave me headache, others ruined my sleep instead of helping... Anyways point is I think it should be legalised, for ease of shopping. Amnesia haze is monstrous wonderful.
Also marijuanna has yet to send me headfirst into delicate... Situations, whilst alcohol...
