Do you support marijuana legalization?

[Deleted member 668561]

please tl;dr. also, no I don't support it. we shouldn't depend on a drug to make our lives easier. it costs money, it's bad for our health and we don't need it.

How is it bad for your health exactly , I mean smoking any substance isn't good for cardio


Have some people ever even tried it?

You'll take robutssin, aspirin, you'll take meds the doctor will prescribe

But smoking a joint is too fucking much

Funny but True story: My 19 year old daughter caught me smoking weed one day while I was alone at home, wife was on biz trip, and my daughter stopped in on a whim and caught me. We had a sit down, and she had the "Talk" with me...

I feel like nations in general should legalize it then have the taxes go straight to healthcare.

to healthcare? lmao thats a fairytale. you mean collect taxes to go towards "schools" "roads" "ect" (but really the gov's pocket..)

I just got a notification about this old thread...You guys are still talking about this into 2022? It's legal just about everywhere in the usa now. I can walk into a store and walk out of there with 3oz in a number of strains. I don't smoke because, anxiety issues, but I could.

Why are we giving the power to our governments to say what we can do with out body or what we can cultivate in our properties? The axis of the debate is wrong.

Is not about Legalization, is about why the fuck they can decide and impose their decision to us, individuals, taking decisions that affect only us.

Because someone has to in some way or another otherwise things revert back to a church herd mentality and we would be getting our advice on how we should be forced to live from ego driven religious leaders. With followers being so devoted that they would be two clicks away from going full Spanish Inquisition on your collective arses for so much as cursing the name of god.

People need some form of control in their lives, as much as it sucks to admit. Most people need to be guided or at the very least given a structured environment. Back in the old days that was religion, now its a mix of that, government and employment.

I support it! And hope everyone will understand that it is not native. I live in Canada, and here cannabis is legalized. Legalization had a significant impact on our economy and our society. For example, I have a weed shop in Vancouver. It was a new thing for me five years ago, when it was legalized, but I had some software from parsi.co, that helped me a lot. Many similar businesses in our country opened, and all of them are paying taxes which had a positive impact on the economics and society of Canada.

I totally do, but I'm curious what you guys think. Let's debate!

If they work out for 30 minutes a day. Sitting around being lethargic will increase your estrogen. Thats bad.

It's another way for the government to take your guns too. If you admit to using weed. Even medically. You cant own a gun. Thats the case in Florida at least.

You cannot be a drug user and possess a firarm. I believe that is federal law. Say what you want about guns.

A female has almost no other way to defend against male, and you with your home.

I'm all for legalization, but not in public places, but in places designated for smoking.
People continue to smoke marijuana anyway, avoiding all laws, but to me, people who get drunk look a lot scarier and more aggressive than people who smoke marijuana.
I think alcohol and cigarettes should be banned)
They are more dangerous to our bodies than marijuana, but then again, if nothing is abused everything will be fine)

Eh, I exist on the latter end and believe that anyone should be allowed to do whatever they want to their bodies as long as its willing to themselves and no one else is being influenced by it. Its one thing if you are trying to push/sell drugs to someone, especially someone who is a minor but if you are just doing drugs yourself and only for yourself then its your choice to. The grey line of issues is whether or not we should prioritize help for these people that go so far on the deep end they need medical help which can reasonably so piss people off (even I think someone who wants to waste themselves shouldn't get priority help or even free help from the system since they have made this choice of life themselves, unless they want to turn their lives around and break those habits that is) But this is basically the hardest discussion on the matter of being allowed to do whatever you want to your body, whether or not they deserve the benefits of the system and priority care if they chose to harm their body to the extent of needing medical help.

The core is just all about control and moderation. Its the foundation of preventing addiction and overdosing.

Outside of that, I believe anyone should be allowed to take or do anything to their bodies as long as they are old enough to take responsibility for their own actions and they are fully, mentally aware of the actions they are doing. After all we already have more than enough legal things that can do much worse to the human body than any illegal drug can do, not to mention enough stupid as hell people who will jump into a fad and risk poisoning/damaging themselves for the sake of being cool. (Cinnamon Challenge/Tide Pods anyone?)

legalization is what the world needs
Canada proves it's nothing bad

As long as it's surrounded by laws, I don't mind it being legal in my country (which it is)
I mean, stuff like smoking weed and driving right after, that IS illegal here in Canada

 

[ChubSwagLad]

yes

 

[squeakycleanswine]

I don't know, I'm personally not on board with the whole idea but it doesn't really matter to me in the end. I just think it's strange that this thing that we were told not to do for our whole lives is suddenly legal now, and you have to wonder why because it's going to be abused to the ends of the earth.

 

[lolcatzuru]

conservative here, yea idgaf if people wanna smoke it, i would go one step further and compel businesses to stop discriminating against people who do so long as its legal within the state

it was illegal because hemp was a cheaper alternative to paper and the main paper guy was good buds with the powers that be at the time and convinced them to ban it.

Yea well, its not like here in the province of quebec we were always told not to do it...
Since like 70's or 80's peoples were more like "gimme a rest, its gonna be legal soon"

 

[RyanTheArchivist]

I don't care what people do in their own home I just don't want little kids to be forced to inhale cigarette smoke (of any kind). I already commented on another topic that it's almost impossible to go to the supermarket without at least a couple people smoking at the entrance or exit. So, do whatever but ban it (smoking) from all public spaces.

Edit: It's specifically the smoke that bothers me, I don't care about the cannabis. Edibles may be the answer.

Not something I personally have an interest in, but I see no reason not to allow it. Just keep it out of public places.

 

[LainaGabranth]

Yeah legalize it. It's cool.

 

[Marc_LFD]

No, but pretty sure my neighbor smokes something similar regardless of the law.

People get addicted to drugs, alcohol, or gambling and then it's very hard to put an end to it.

 

[Smoker1]

Should be for Medical Use Only.

But at some point, someone will raise a fit, and say it is a gateway Drug, and want it completely Banned, no matter what.
