Marijuana Policy

Outside of the political consequences, what is your preferred policy regarding cannabis?

And legalize marijuana. Pot doesn't kill anyone.

and I will advertise it

. What I should start buying PM's acapulco gold? with taxes?

"What was the question again? I was too busy taking a hit from my 6 foot bong..."

I was too busy taking a hit from my 6 foot bong

I will smoke my first bowl in honor of you this evening. :smoke: :toast:

give the freepers something to laugh at.

damn pot smoking hippie liberals

We'll be busy having fun!! If they're too stiff to join us, fuck em. More pot for the rest of us! :toast: :hippie:

:hippie: ?

But that's what chairs are for. :headbang:

I think he was askin how would you light a six footer. A friend lights it!

How do you reach down to light that motha'? Do you have to have an assistant?

Think of the things we could do with the revenue created.

The campaign to illegalize used racist images to associate it with stigmatized groups. A major reason for its illegalization was to eliminate the competition of hemp with other, more costly, raw materials. It's illegality has been used to stymie research into its medical benefits, and to prevent those who need it from access to it for known benefits. Its illegality criminalizes a large segment of the population. It's time for a change.

Who are these people?

As well as possible VP's, Clark, Edwards, etc.?

He has said it so him self.

That's what Germaine Greer said in the early 70's. Her position was that pot should be like bacon and eggs: none of the government's damned business. But seriously, it should be legalized and regulated for adults. The worst crime anyone ever committed on pot was stealing the chocolate chip cookies.

"...was stealing the chocolate chip cookies.'

Not true - I 'jacked a Little Debbie truck while in the throes of a munchie attack.

The driver was smart, and no one got hurt... :D

pipe

in regard to pot is keeping it from people who are suffering from terminal disease.

On a lighter note, I do like a good buzz at the movies. It's been awhile but my old roommate and I used to love going to the movies all red-eyed-monstery. :)

Legalize it.

I'm still debating about other drugs but think they should be legal as well. I think we need to get drugs off the street. So much violence, shootings and deaths occur over drug deals that go bad and in the process of getting drugs that they should be sold in liquor store like buildings.

Actually the present $50 per ounce seems about right to me.

No tax on homegrown, of course.

Ad it's really good!

p.s. I'm so happy right now!:smoke:

It is a relatively safe drug that should not cause anyone to go jail or lose their jobs simply for using it. Marijuana education in schools could focus on responsible use rather than never use it.
It is rather unfair that drug users who prefer alcohol are so favored by being able to easily obtain their drug of choice, use it in a public setting, not be discriminated against in employment policies for outside of work use, and not have to worry about being arrested or fined simply for possessing it. Marijuana is a safer drug on so many levels. Many people also find it to be effective medicine.

"Hemp’s high cellulose content is the key to the plant’s potential as a replacement for fossil fuels. In the 1930s, one of the most important of the new developments in the hemp industry was being researched by Henry Ford in his prototype biomass plant at Iron Mountain, Michigan. The high cellulose content of hemp makes it the world’s most efficient raw material for the production of methanol fuel through the pyrolysis biomass process. Hemp was found to be up to 50% more productive than alternative biomass crops like sugar cane and corn. Often the fuel of choice for racetrack drivers, methanol is a clean - burning alternative to petroleum - based fuels. Early Ford vehicles were made available with gasoline or methanol fuel options." http://www.luminist.org/archives/bloom.htm

We can reduce our dependence on foreign oil and provide an excellent cash crop for American farmers.

I'm no pothead but I think possessing small quantities to smoke should be legal but having large quantities to sell to kids should remain illegal.

I see all drugs as legallized, and the funds that have waged and
enforced the drugs war plowed in to shares.

These shares would be a legallized growing cooperative of suppliers
charged with evolving adaptations of the plant less prone to
sleepiness and hangover, or at least noticably so, that the plant
come to be much better known chemically, and the coctail of
chemicals best understood that makes a preferable high.

The legallized marketing cooperative would serve as a distribution
unit, and may even be connected with the spice-distribution unit of
a supermarket chain. This would "bottle" the spice and distribute
it to market. It would make sure, as with other spices, that the
product was true, and passed hygeinic and purity standards.

The end product would be distributed both medicinally, as teabags,
capsules and inhalable powder, but also as a fine smokeing herb,
sold alongside pipeweed and tobacco for consouirs of a fine smoke.
Here, high grade buds would fetch a high price on the auction
market.

.. A 15 year aged in violet flowers - sensamilla bud from
Inverness, Scotland fetched 15,000 dollars in last years auction to
a collector in Texas.

When you visit a smokeshop, the buds are amazing. Its as if the
world's best glassblowers made their finest work for the display of
this weed's dried flowers. Each cannabis bud is suspended in an
amazing vacuum conntainer filled with helium gas. The buds, like
wines, absorb the smells and odours of the nearby plants and
shrubberies.

Upon getting to visit such a grower, equal in revenues to an
equivalent whiskey manufacturer like "Jack Daniels", Your
correspondent sampled the 1967 Golden Gate Park Trashweed, preserved
perfectly to this day, that as we breathe back 30 years, the air
is thick with love and possibility.

Behind a druggist-like counter is a wooden fitting of box cabinets
to the ceiling. In every space, as with a bookshop, are thousands
of Vacuum glass tubes of different cannabist vintages from various
nations and times.

Police have no worry. When they stop a driver, they merely test
their reflexes and eye-pupil response-times. These reaction times
are the court-submitted evidence of intoxication, and apply to ALL
drugs. The test is administerable by the roadside and has
superceded blood-alcohol as primary roadside evidence.

The smaller dosages of market packages allows the market to stock-
down. People who used to keep a lotta weed to support their
smoking can now rely on a constant supply from the liquor shop or
the grocery store. All are certified to weights and measures, and
available over the counter to drugs store patrons.

Each citizen is unique. Each has a normal consumption of drugs, say
cannabis or alcohol. To exceed a normal 1-person consumption of
drugs in the supply chain requires a state-license. Regulation...
bankrupts all the illegal supply chains, and in one fell swoop wipes
out the largest source of funds that fill the coffers of organized
crimes.
