dude i know this may seem like a totally loser comment but pot is just overrated and to the people who think drugs are cool your a total waste wake up and realize that there are better things to do with your life then get ****ed up and fund illegal things that take place in the towns you live in. One day your realize that that 5 dollars you spent on that bag of weed funded the gun that shot the bullet that killed a family member (maybe even just an innocent bystander), maybe not a person in your family but in someone else's.

They are a big waste of money, and get to messed up in life once you start smoking pot.

Speed is my crack. And I'll only ever be able to afford more speed. Crack is out of the budget entirely, haha.

I had some very smart friends that were big into POT in HS. They definitely weren't the same afterwards.

I've got problems with bad memory already, I don't need anymore help, lol.

[BobErT-]

Yup, im clean now, ive seen to many people get ****ed up in the game with that ****.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

I totally agree, no questions asked.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

good point

[WhiteXFire]

Notice how the article said that local authorities would still be arresting/prosecuting individuals under state and federal law. In other words, passing the local ordinance meant absolutely nothing.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

yeah which would mean people would still be gettin locked up for it

[wrx_snobordr]

yeah, this law is total crap. They are justifying the use of one harmful substance because it will lessen the use of another harmful substance GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR A$SES... what is wrong with people. I see how both sides have a point, but come on, please come up with a stronger argument than this.

[S4toSTI]

Which would mean thats unconstitutional mmkay but whatever this country sucks i am sorry. So much for states rights.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

this country sucks i am sorry
id like to see you living in a 3rd world type of country. **** i dont think you would last. everyone is out to get you in a country that doesnt have a good government(not saying ours is the best). its like everyman for themselves in alot of other places.

...ohh and if you think the legalization of pot would make things better in this country, let me tell you your going far in life.

[slavetothemuzic]

...ohh and if you think the legalization of pot would make things better in this country
Actually it would.

Without getting into a big pissing contest about it, the government line of "pot is bad" is just complete BS. The government has gone as far as running ad campaigns that are straight up lies regarding drugs. Additionally, the billions of $$$ that are being torched to fund the "war on drugs" is government waste on a massive scale. Instead of spending ALL of what we do now to fight pot, it should be legalized (similar to liquor laws) and taxed, which would bring in tax revenue and reduce deficit spending, etc etc etc.

Should ALL drugs be legal? Of course not. It wouldn't be a good idea to be able to pick up a syringe of heroin at the Wawa on your way home from work. What this law is talking about is the equivalent of being able to keep beer in your house.

you know i see your point but im not sure if you ever seen them commercials about buying drugs where the money you spend on drugs is all brought back to the main supplier who, you may not know, is a terrorist. you gotta think why would the governement legalize something that would be funding there enemies?

also if the government legalized it now they would have all the criminals locked up for drugs in jail gettin bailed out and then the govenment would have a huge law suit because the "criminals" would have way to question the government on why its ok for it to be legalized now rather then they put the "criminal" in jail. the goverment would need excessive amounts of proof they have found. which would be too much for the government to further prove to the joury that its ok now but not then.

It would be done within limitations. Like the article said, 1 oz. People who get caught now with less than 1oz don't generally see jail. They get fined.

I'm sure sellers would need a license to distribute, similar to a liquor license, etc etc etc.

It can be done. Easily. It won't, for the same reason that the government won't fight for stem cell research. A bunch of way too conservative religious nuts that contribute loads of money say it's bad, because god said it's bad.
