like i said in another post here. I'll say weed is okay if its for medical reasons. prescription drugs are okay because some people need them. Abuse of prescription drugs am not okay with but thats a given. Also thanks for the infodstoner said:
Glad am not getting flamed as bad. my apologies if i sounded upset in any previous post.haha whose the idiot? CIGARETTES ARE NOT JUST TOBACCO. and alcohol IS NOT JUST A PLANT. both do not come in stores the same way they were grown, unlike weed, which is completely natural, and needs nothing added to it... AND YOUR ARGUMENT IS IDIOTIC ANYWAY! weed is a plant that was made illegal, after it had been around since the dawn of time. not to mention was mandatory to grow for quite some time... do some research fool... and alcohol WAS taken away, fyi...Giantpanda602 said:
The only reason that disgusting drug was ever actually farmed was because of its actual uses as hemp.dstoner said:
Oh, and I don't care how natural the plant is. Burning something and INHALING THE SMOKE INTO YOUR LUNGS is horrible.
alright, ill let u be on your way lol. also just take note that, alot of 'stoners' (not all, some just wanna get fried on anything and everything they can) but alot of us DO use it as medication in one way or another... personally, im often very hyper and have difficulty concentrating. i smoke small amounts, consistently all day because it helps me focus, and allows me to be more sociable, i.e. not talking 74893274932472 miles an hour... not a pity cry lol, just want u to know it has alot of medical purposes other then pain relief.Legion IV said:like i said in another post here.

I personally think as long as there are laws governing its use, it should be fine. It should be a person's own choice, what to do with their free time/their body. The laws should govern what you can and can't do whilst stoned, and possibly areas where you can and can't be stoned.
i agree 100%, so long as the laws actually apply to the 'drug'. much like the laws in place for alcohol... however completely different rules. marijuana does not affect your ability to drive a vehicle, it could potentially make u a safer driver, unlike alcohol. and public intoxication should not apply to marijuana, as it does not have any adverse effect to your social behavior, as alcohol has the potential to do...Rough Sausage said:
what laws should apply, u may ask? im not exactly sure, i never really thought about it. however they should be made by people who have actually smoked weed, at least occasionally. so that they truly do make sense and are made in the best interest of personal and public safety.
because i've seen the damages first hand... the SERIOUS damages it can have. I could never vote yes to making it legal... I couldn't give a shit if thats how you have fun though... just be careful you know?
being intoxicated yes, but actually smoking it in public is a firm hell no. its like forcing other people to drink with you loldstoner said:
Do you agree with the Amsterdam method? OK(ish) in your home, OK in coffee shops.TemplateResponse said:
As long as smoking tobacco and drinking alchohol is legal, I can see no reason why weed isn't. Same retrictions as alchohol should apply for things such as public consumption and driving, and it's taxable. Plus, if it was governed properly, a decent quality product that everyone knows is safe, will result. I've seen some wierd things in blocks of solid over the years!
I do too. to be honest, whether it was legal or illegal wouldn't have made a difference the guy i'm talking about had an allergic reaction and his throat swelled up to the size of a watermelon. Sadly he was on his own so he died.dstoner said:
I personally think that legalizing would probably make it easier to get it without any of that drug dealer shit. like some fuckers BLEACHING it to give it more kick... you wouldn't get that a Lloyd's Pharmacy, but everytime I think about saying that I think back about my friend and that fear that legalizing it would mean more people would try it. big grey area eh?
I vote to keep it illegal because I can see no reason to make it legal.
The only recognised health benefit I've come across is the use of medicinal marijuana as an analgesic in people recovering from intensive surgery or people with terminal cancer or whatever. For the billions of people who don't have these conditions, there's no health benefit. Also, marijuana usage impairs the amygdala and hippocampus (emotion and memory brain centres), and leads to permanent size reduction, permanently inhibiting brain function. All those old stoner hippies who are always happy? Effectively brain damaged.
Mild alcohol ingestion (2-3 standard drinks daily), on the other hand is one of those very few things where science and the bible agree. It has health benefits to the heart and stomach.

I haven't been. But I guess so.Private Custard said:
being a UK resident I honestly cant see us legalizing it anyway for the next few decades even. we banned smoking in pubs for gods sake! as if someone like David Cameron is going to legalize weed.
Legalize it, It isn't like a small amount of pot is going to do terrible things to people. I use it every once in a while, it doesn't make me a bad person. As long as it stays with high quality pot, then it's alright. You just don't want people doing LSD or even meth. If we were just hanging out and someone would even suggest it I would punch him. No responsible being would want to use that.
You should just make this a government thing, control it and make the legal high quietly safe pot it a better alternative than the meth dealer on the block
