Why can police do that? Impersonate a drug dealer, then bust someone for buying them. It's bullshit! Breaking their own laws. If someone buys 20$ worth, is it really worth all the time and paperwork to give them a citation, drug classes and maybe some probation?
85-There's a difference between potheads and recreational smokers. Just like alcoholics and the occasional beer with friends. The last part of your sentence barely made sense and your picture is the album art of a band that participates in heavy drug use.
47- it is smart people like you, I and few others that think the weed laws are bullshit. It's a money grab. They make so much money off of weed citations itis ridiculous. Yes they could tax it, but the infrastructure and upfront cost would be too high. The government and most people don't like thinking about the long run. Oh well I'll just keep smoking it illegally since most cops don't give a shit about this harmless little leaf.
When you start, start buying from people you know. Actually, NEVER buy from strangers. You risk buying from a cop or getting hurt. I've never bought from a stranger, and never will.
Did he offer it first, because if he did thats entrapment.
and no, #47, its not worth it. the War on Drugs costs taxpayers lots, which ironically could be made back by taxing legalised weed.
If people on FML were in parliament. I think we could actually do something for the world. I do not smoke marijuana myself, but if we legalize it, crime rates would go down and we would make money from taxation.
139 & 141: Then they could focus more (not that they don't already) on the higer tier drugs like Meth and Heroine. Marijuana is directly from the Earth made by God and if our country is under God I don't see what the big deal is. Although I guess that arguement works for anything.
Ignore all the self-righteous douchebags criticizing you, they're wilfully ignorant about an important topic. Sure, drugs cause harm- they also cause a lot of awesomeness in many light-hearted and indeed long term and very important ways. Just remember to be really careful not to get caught again- don't give up smoking!
a poor argument im afraid... 'natural' plants include weed, yes, and also a bunch of other stuff that will kill you quickly and painfully. If it's God's work, then im afraid he didnt build it all for our DIRECT consumption, at least.
Your point, though, that weed (NEVER killed anyone) is a low-harm drug, unlike most others (WHEN abused or mis-used!)
Too bad weed is a tier. 1 drug. Which means in the eyes of the government it's one of the deadliest drugs out there. So sorry to say but op is probably SOL.
Actually, if weed was legal the amount of people who smoked would decrease. Many people smoke it to be cool. So if it's legal it would take away from the element of "coolness".
269- minors that smoke cigarettes that's illegal, but cigarettes are legal. Marijuana would be more popular I think because of the THC and the effect it gives you.
That's definitely a lie. There are no long term affects of marijuana other than the affect smoke from rolling papers would have on your lungs. The lost of short term memory is caused by the smokers skewed perspective while under the influence. In order to overdose on weed, one would have to smoke over 20 grams in a short period of time. It can be addictive, just like alcohol, but it's less dangerous than both alcohol and tobacco. That being said, blazee it man :)
279 you can not overdose on weed. It can't kill you. The only way it can kill you if a ton were dropped on you, or if you're a dumbass and don't know how to control your high and jump off a bridge or something high up
If you smoke weed two of the many things it will do to you is decrease your coordination, and impair your sense of timing. So, if you were to get in a car and drive under the influence of marijuana, you could hit a pedestrian, hit another car, or even go off the road. That's how you could hurt someone with it.
all the people that say weed is bad for you had never tried it, they are all brainwashed as kids into thinking it's bad, really there are no tests that prove it does any harm
Really 189? Your from India? No? Then you're aboriginal, not Indian. -.-; I have friends from India who find Aboriginals calling themselves Indian offensive, so please refrain from calling yourself something you're not.
On the otherhand, weed is bad m'kay? Sure it has medical uses, but that doesn't mean it's harmless.
