since I'm moving back to Boston, that would rock! no tax on groceries there :thumb:

Never say never :D
laws are laxing up all over the USA and it would seem Canada as well every day :thumb:

has anybody tried K2?

it's legal (not for long) synthetic weed. They spray chemicals on it though, I don't trust it like I trust weed. It's not nearly as good of a high IMO, but it does the job for something that's legal and they don't test for it in drug tests.

Ever wonder why murderers, child molesters and other "real" criminals have to be let out early? Who are they making room for?

I understand some people have a need to control others and denying them a useful substance is a great avenue for that need. I tend to think though that they might possibly change their mind the first time they see a loved one or themselves suffer with cancer treatments that could have been helped if not for the fact it was illegal.

IMO, if I want to tell a consenting adult what to do to their own body in the privacy of their home, I better be willing for that same person to tell me what to do to my body in the privacy of my home. If not, I believe that would make me a hypocrit and a fraud.

I also believe we should only lock up people who deny rights to others. If I rob a bank after eating cashews, then I should be locked up for robbing the bank but that doesn't mean eating cashews should get the blame and thus be "illegal". That's just silly. Like drinking booze and driving. The driving part is what hurts others, not the drinking.

I do believe you are right. It's about money. And jobs. And even though I've never tried it doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. Because indeed I do have an opinion. See how that works?

I voted for legalization in this poll, but I categorize marijuana as a gateway drug. But so are tobacco and alcohol, IMO.

My gateway drug was marijuana. All the other stuff came later, and I did it all — in part — because I had such an enjoyable experience with marijuana.

I think it should be legal. I think while you're smoking it it doesn't seem all that bad, but I think it does affect your level of motivation and ambition.

yep one hit. TASTES LIKE SHITTTTTT!!!!!!

legalize it. Tax it. Farmers win, economy wins, dealers lose. What's not to like about that?

how can weed be a gateway drug??? I drank a beer and smoked a cig years before I smoked my first joint. Hell I was poppin sudafed at 8 years old for allergies.

Smoking it is bad for you; using a vaporizer is not.

I don't use it but I have no problem with people who do. If it were legalized and I had a vaporizer, I would probably partake every once in a while... like when I have the urge to play certain video games or see certain movies (Alice in Wonderland) :D

if it were legal how would anyone make money? Pot smokers arent goin to pay for pot in the long run.

This is a good point - some would pay extra for the good stuff, but the average person's going to get some seeds and grow it in his backyard/closet/wherever. The government would still have to make growing it illegal, which wouldn't make any logical sense beyond them just wanting to screw us.

There are too many forces aligned against legalization that would lose too much money. The government, the drug companies, the beer industry, and organized crime would all take it right in the ass, and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Not to mention the prison industry.

Why not?

Yeah, just like all the cigarette/cigar smokers and tobacco chewers who grow they're own, right?
