The only difference between dope and beer is that it takes only a couple of minutes to get bombed on weed, whereas it takes a couple of hours for the same effects from beer.

Just a random observation for fun . . . Since posting this poll, I've had several folks tell me that grass should not only be legal, but should be manditory for gov't leaders . . . Why? Well, world leaders would be way too busy ordring pizza and way too chill to fight with one another! U.S. Rep. -- "Hey, Arab Dude, our folks hare havin' a hard time makin' ends meet and high fuel prices are really makin' it hard to chill. Ya think you could ease up a bit on the prices?" Arab Rep. -- "No prob. U.S. Dude! We'll hook you up if you'll play that Hendrix tune one more time . . . " ;D  ;D |

Legalize it. It's not a big deal like some people like to spin it. It's just not. I don't smoke currently, because I get drug tested. But we are people, and people like to enjoy themselves on occasion. Just be responsible like you would for anything else. It's going on whether it's illegal or not, and most people have no clue how many people smoke a little here and there. A better world for me is a place with fewer restrictions on personal choices and reasonable laws for true violations of human rights.

Aloha, Y'all
Pukaman here. Interesting discussion. MJ has been used medically for over 5,000 yrs without one death caused by overdose. It still has those qualities today. Is 5,000 yrs enough for a tong term study.?
If the arguement is for the safety of society, Aspirin is responsible for thousands of deaths a year. Prescription meds are estimated to kill over 100,000 people yrly.
God put the plants here. Pharmies bring you Valium and Prozac.
Who ya gonna Trust ?
Personal responsability is the key to any behaviour and action.
Why do those against Socialized medicine approve of their taxes being used to blow up brown babies with Smart Bombs, while their children don't have a decent school ?
Get off the "dangers of pot" and DO something about the Poisons in our childrens' food air and water.
Food for Thought. Enjoy the Beauty around you... Aloha...
Pukaman

If Marijuana was legal how would that effect drug screening? we all know that marijuana stays in your system for several weeks. You could of smoked a joint two weeks ago and still test positive.If it was legal and your place of employment required random testing could they require you to attend treatment and/or face termination? even tho you hadn't smoked in weeks? would you be legaly considered under the influence? I don't believe the courts,employers or law enforcement would want to open that can of worms!

If it were legal, why would they test for it at all?

I guess because just as you can't drink and drive, I assume it wouldn't be legal to drive stoned. But how would they test? It can stay with you for a month.

So many good points made - and nearly as many intelligent questions asked; I'm impressed!! This here cat has imbibed in the past, so I'm well aware of the actual effects, both short and long-term. And I've done a fair amount of OBJECTIVE research about the intoxicant component of cannabis (THC) - it actually ENLARGES the blood passages, allowing for increased bloodflow - which is why it is medically perscribed for glaucoma patients. An increased bloodflow also equates to an increased metabolism - which is why THC is also perscribed for chemo-therapy patients (gives them back their appetite, but also soothes the stomach, by counteracting the overproduction of stomach acid; hemp was touted as an early "antacid" in the late 19th Century). So, there are more than one legitimate medical reasons to support hemp's benefits to mankind, as a "drug" (I'm deliberately overlooking the practical uses, such as super-strong rope, clothing, insulation, etc). Sadly, hemp has become a victim of politics. Rather than go into a long diatribe about how and why, I'll just say that this little weed deserves SERIOUS study - AWAY from all the political fertilizer, which ironically, has allowed it to THRIVE, contrary to intent (well, the fertilizer is as pure as you can get)!! Why not further the increased blood flow research - how might this help, say, clogged arteries? Could an increased blood flow lessen the number of stroke victims? Ease muscle pain? How can we overcome the stigma attached to pot? Simple. Legalize it under the same restrictions as alcohol, then TAX it responsibly - allocate 50% of collected revenue towards further research, study, and treatment of abusers...........(the same should be applied to all other legal substances - put our money to WORK, instead of giving these career politicians the wherewithal to be what they are!!) So much rhetoric and propaganda surrounds hemp, that it's doubtful that any meaningful debate will ever occur - and if you don't believe me, go out and rent a copy of the 1931 film "Reefer Madness" - then, compare that film to the '04 political campaign season..........Mad How Dean, and Ter-EH-sa's husband Lurch spring to mind almost instantly, if you follow my line of thinking!!!  ;D ;D  |

If Weed is legalised, it can be controlled, taxed and therefore made safer... preiod.
