shud marawana be legalized

[Clo]

Legalize it, buy it for me.

Fun times.

Commence.

[Unbreakable Will]

Yup

[Jentleness]

Apparently, Californian's every where decided the answer to that question was no. However, I believe this is because the potheads all got high the night before, passed out and forgot to go to the polls.

The purpose of legalizing marajuana was to create a new source of taxable income for the state. Which I believe to mean is that the guy on the street would still be selling his "illegal" pot, but now he will be charged with tax evasion instead of possession to sell.

I do wish people would stop acting like it's more important than say, same-sex marriage, but I still think it should be legal. But I'm not going to act like it's some unalienable right everyone is entitled to.

If you're a heterosexual cannabis consumer I don't see why it couldn't be more important.

[NorthernChaosGod]

What's the point in legalizing it? Are there really people out there just waiting for the green light to start smoking?

But yeah sure, whatever.

Firstly, yes, there are. Secondly, there are a whole lot more people just waiting for the green light to not be arrested over something so ridiculous.

I really believe the people that want to smoke are going to smoke it anyway. Who the hell actually gets caught for smoking? o_O

Unlucky bastards.

You're telling me you don't think it's at all likely that there are people out there who would like to try it but just don't want to break the law?

Because you would be wrong.

Too many people.

Seriously, do you not go outside? Do you have more than five friends? Neither of these things are all that rare.

It should be an unalienable right to be able to put something you grew in your mouth, especially when no one has ever died from doing so.

Not a significant number, no. Especially not for something so many people view as a silly law. I can't even imagine the rationale behind "I want to smoke, but I can't because it's illegal."

Too many people.

To answer both of you, I don't usually associate with retards, so that might be part of it. It's really quite easy to smoke and not get caught. Or I know a bunch of criminal masterminds.

That and it's ridiculously easy to get a card these days.

Everyone has a medical card in California. Reason people were iffy on Prop 19 was because it wasn't clear on many points such as what would happen to medical patients.

And with a medical card it IS legal...and going to the marijuana store is always wonderful! Always free stuff!

meth is better

I assure you that the number of people who don't smoke because their employers test is significant. The number of people who simply don't break the law, admittedly, is probably pretty small, but they exist.

Too many people.

Not everyone lives in a place that offers cards.

Admittedly, I only know one person who has been arrested for possession. He was searched because campus police asked him for ID, and he didn't have any 'cause he's a Mexican illegal. Now he's been deported and took one of my best friends with him. Boo.

Still, it's something that shouldn't happen. "Not many people get caught" isn't much of an argument against legalizing marijuana.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I wasn't arguing against legalization, just that getting caught for it is ridiculous.

Are there actually employers that do regular drug screenings? o_O

My point is that the people who really want to don't care that it isn't legalized. I understand that there are people who have thought about it but haven't done it because it's illegal, but I have a hard time believing that they lay awake at night praying that the next day holds good news for their marijuana desires.

Edit:

Yes, there are.

We can't all be sexy lifeguards.

My internship requires drug testing. Internship!! I even tell my bosses about the excessive drinking I do but pot is a no-no.
