my browser stops me watching video, what's in that video?

Its a song LEGALISE IT by Peter Tosh

[samlad]

I watched a documentory a few years ago about a little old lady who grew cannibis in her green house. She was baking the stuff in cakes and inviting her friends around to her tea parties; the little old dears felt relief from their ailments, such as rheumatism, arthritis and general aches and pains. She was raided by the police and was threatened with imprisonment. She refused to stop growing the stuff.

If it improves the quality of life of someone, why not prescribe it? And if the government actually legalised it and taxed it surely people would stop buying a much more lethal street version of it that probably contains 60% plastic and other crap in it? Legalising it would stop the black market for it, however the flip side is that people will simply push harder things. Perhaps there's method to their madness?

I wanna back to MAIN TOPIC ANY OTHER OPINIONS?ABOUT LEGALISATION??

Legalise
Tax and
Regulate..

Dispense by prescription to whomever wishes it (anyone could legally obtain it for whatever reason (medical, recreational),
Maintain strict quality control,
Use tax revenue for rehab and preventative education.

It would put drug dealers out of business (I think ?)
Less ODs (I'm not talking about weed now)
Less people in prison,
eventually (I suspect) less people using it.

I think it would still come out cheaper for the state than to have the situation as is. (my experience of course is in US).
I do not know the current figures, how much it cost to house an inmate/year. Majority of inmates are convicted on drug charges.

im curius about opinions ...
Alcohol legal but u can't drive after drink. Alcohol addict
mj u can drive when buzz gone theres a lot of medical things.
Ciggaretes legal but probably risk with cancer so world is crazy

free the weed

[MrNiceGuy2010]

it is crazy AG. but marijuana has been demonised, hemp was a common fibre in industry.
it's not wise to take any drugs whilst driving, or be tired, take a call, look back at baby.
although a study from a Dutch University found no discernable impairment upon driving (marijuana).
participants were actually found to drive more carefully.

Yes and i dont need 2 use my glasses when stoned 2 the bone,anybody else find that

Holland handles it with decriminalisation, enjoying a lucrative tourist market.
it's a safe city, i would walk around late wheareas i wouldn't do that in galway.
Holland consumes the least amount of drugs in Europe. the police observe the situation with
harder drugs, not wishing to lose sight of the outlets/supply chains which inevitably form,
shortly after a bust.

no, the 'method' is a denial, a farce.

Why not take the plunge and legalise it all (as I outlined above) ?

Of course it will never happen. No politician can pull that off. It would be career suicide for any public figure to even suggest such

an idea. There's simply too much money at stake: the prison system is a money hog, the courts, the police.. If drugs were

legalised and regulated, many jobs would be lost in the 'clean' sector.. Although, all those prison guards etc. could be retrained

as rehab, education workers.. And I dream on.. of a utopia where less ugliness exists.. lol . BTW: yes I've tried many, but I do

not partake. To me it's all just a philosophical question..
