Marijuana Legalization?

It recently has come to my attention that the city of Denver Colorado has legalized marijuana (up to 1 oz.). What do you guys think about it?

It's still not really legal there. The police will simply continue enforcing the state law.

I think that is a very good law. legalize it, but with limits... this is a very good idea, and I support it.

I'd enjoy smoking legally. I don't do it now, mainly because it's illegal...

exactly! I believe there should also be an age limit, either 18 or 21... probably 21... and they should ID as carefully as they do nowadays for buying alchohal.

until you can grow a bottle of jack for free, this is the way it will be :cool:

I like the fact non-users feel legalizing it is good. I think it's a great case of live and let live. There are health risks but it's not like alcohol and tobacco don't kill enough people anyway.

Maybe I should quit.

I just now realized my spelling error. :D

Their pretty loose around here. I just missed it....Reminds me of a Dr. Hook Song. :D

I tried.

Jon Hasn't granted me that privelege since my return. i.e. I'm on probation. If only Eric was around....

:twisted: .............

While cannabis isn't for everyone(it gives me horrible panic attacks)I think it should be legalized and regulated.

So much money is wasted on enforcment and so many lives are destroyed(go into prison,devastate the family and then they come out either raped or worse than ever).The actual prohibition of it is knee deep in racism and big money intrests.

There is MASSIVE mis-information about cannabis and the old demonizing myths are still around even today.

Unfortunatley,even if a state legalizes it,the fedral government will overide state law(like it has in california with medical use).I remember talking to a security guard who was from canada and suffered panic attacks.He had a strain of cannabis that helped him greatly...

I would rather smoke a prescribed medicinal herb than stay addicted to benzodiazapams(Klonapan).

They could probably fund a lot of things from tax revenue. Imagine all the little coffee shops and things.....

Weird.. thought I was the only one who got bad anxiety from pot. Only way I can smoke is if I have a few beers in me first.
Far as legalization goes, I wish it would be legalized, regulated and sold.
I'd love to go down to the corner 'maryjane' store and pick up an ounce every once in awhile.
As things are now, I go about 2 years between puffs cause you can never get the stuff anywhere.
Really hypocritical that you can legally buy liquor... something that damages so many lives, yet you can't buy pot. Not to mention the whole hemp industry going to waste.

Well?Who voted nay?

I was hoping for some opposite opinions...much more interesting that way.

That 100% looked so good too.

I voted yea. There is no good reason why pot is illegal. Same goes for magic shrooms.

HA! I voted no! :D

Take that u greasy reefer heads! I also think salt should be banned!

Ha! I can walk next door to my house and choose what kind I want. :p I agree though, I think it should be legalized. The government could tax it and make profit from it. The only problem I have is the idiots who decide to drive when they're gettin stoned and cause accidents, injuries, and death. It should be like in Amsterdam, you smoke it in the shop, wait ill your sober enough, then you can leave.

Interesting thread, guys!

I am totally for the legalization of marijuana. Every school day I get in my car, turn on some Charlie Parker, and smoke some reefer before school. I have a 4.000 GPA since I've been doing this, (pre-pot I had a 2.6 GPA). Creatively speaking, there is a reason why musicians smoke marijuana!

A new study came out a few days ago that is looking into a link between regenerative properties of marijuana on the brain (through THC, which imitates Anandamide, the euphoria neurotransmitter), and while I can't vouche for that theory yet, It wouldn't completely shock me.

About the "driving while stoned', it's not as much of a hazard as you'd think it would be. If anything, you drive more cautiously while on the drug, as opposed to alcohol (which makes you drive aggressively). There are instances when it's not fun to drive stoned (i.e. snow, rain, etc.), but in clear-weather conditions its' not bad at all. In fact, my car is the only place I smoke pot in, due to the fact that the smoke isn't lost after you exhale (it accumulates with the windows up).

I voted yes. :D
