no,no,no dont legalise it well not in the UK anyway
Bertster7 with you being from the UK im suprised you even said yes
if the british goverment legalised it it would be Taxed to hell & back
What i pay for a qtr of a oz (£10) you might aswell double it
why legalize it i can go up the road and get what i want or as much as i want
i dont give a fuck about the police if they pulled me over when driving home i'd just eat it
BAD,BAD, idea
Never legalize cannabis

But nothing is black and white - my link shows the good it can do, your link shows you the bad it can do. Using my link, you'll come to the conclusion that it's "pretty good for you" and using your link, you'll come the conclusion this it's "pretty bad for you". Neither of these statements is the whole truth by itself, but also neither of them are wrong.{XpLiCiTxX} wrote:
I was referring to the line, "and is actually pretty good for you." Oh really? If pot was, "pretty good for you" then it would be legal right now, but obviously it's not legal now is it?Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Scroll down to the "Effects on the Brain", "Effects on the Heart", "Effects on the Lungs", " Effects of Exposure During Pregnancy". Well then, I guess that proves that marijuana is "pretty good for you", right? Moron.

Like most things (e.g. most pharmaceutical drugs), cannabis is both 'pretty good for you' and 'pretty bad for you'.
10 on the 1/4? - I'd like to know your source for those figures - sounds like on those ridiculous official 'street price' quotes - you know whenever theirs a big bust reported in the news and it says "They seized xKg of cannabis with a 'street worth' of £some-stupidly-inaccurate-number"...Orgtheone wrote:

as a former smoker I'd say no, I've seen guys I work with doing some really dumb and dangerous shit while high and end up in the hospital, and the last thing I need is a stoned school bus or dump truck driver on I-75 in Atlanta, humans are dumb enough as is and sure can't be trusted to "use responsibly"

If it's legalised the government wouldn't be in control of the distribution. It would be handled by private companies, who would want to deliver a high quality product at a competitive price to keep their profits high.Jinto-sk wrote:

Weed is a very demotivating drug and makes you LAZY as sin.
Legalise it and a large part of your nation turn into lazy bastards, unemployed ain't gonna go get a job just roll another doobie and worry about a job tomorrow.
I swear down pot smokers motto "I'll do it tomorrow"
Like the life changing effects of alcohol, stoner apathy is born from 'abuse' not 'use'.Bertster7 wrote:
I agree totally about the 'I'll do it tomorrow' attitude that leads to stoned apathy - but alcohol has simillar life changing effects.
Cannabis does have it's practical uses - it's just not good for 'linear' thought/action - it's very non-linear - great for creative thinking.
There should also be an age limit - there's mounting evidence showing that cannabis use in pre-teens and young teens can bring on, maybe even cause, mental health issues in some susceptible individuals.Bertster7 wrote:
Mental health issues are not caused by weed. You are just far less well equiped to cope if you do have mental health problems after prolonged regular usage. If you are at all mentally unstable, don't smoke weed. Naturally there would need to be health warnings on weed that was bought under any legal system in a simillar manner to cigarettes.
they get paid by the fed for making such busts, so they go straight to the lowest quantity sold and tally up the price, just like most other products, the more you buy the more quantity per dollar you get, so they use the smallest amount sold, usually a 5 dollar bag, which is something like 10 grams of weed (someone correct me, it's been a decade or so), so they look at the pile and say " how many 5 dollar bags can we make out of this?"

I i beileve 3 quarters of crime in aus is drug related and atleast half of that would be to do with OD'ing and getting the drugs..if your chemists or cafes for instance sell the shit in messured quantities you basically cut out half of the crime rates

the more you get the cheaper it is if you go to any local dealer £10qtr is the minimal price you'll find it for and i'd put serious money on that

$15AUD a gram from good locals in aus

what is this "mariijuana" you are all talking about???

Depends what you're smoking. That's about as cheap as it comes. For some nice high grade skunk more like £60 a 1/2. I don't bother with much other than that, apart from the occasional bit of pollen or other fancy hash. Had some Thai Stick the other day, that was nice, but £15 an 1/8 for weed is a bit pricey.Orgtheone wrote:

I'm thinking that - £10 a 1/4 I'd pay for a better quality soap-bar, for top quality green you're looking at £25 on the 1/8 (obviously with savings for bulk) true street price - and I'm thinking it may also be regional - I live in Cambridge - we pay London prices for everything...Bertster7 wrote:

Brilliant video on the subject.
Myself being a stoner, I would say yes, as I have never had a negative thought against anyone whilst stoned...

i seriously believe that back when peopole started smoking tobbaco/marajuana that the only reason that marajuana is illegal now is because tbacco was the first to be produced in large quantities. if marajuana would have been produced in factories like tobacco it would be legal today but as is it will always be a fight but will never become legal.
