Weed, should it be legal or not??

[Ghetto_World]

really i don c wut tha problem wit weed is, its aint addictive, n it has the same long lasting health problems of a mix of cigarettes and alcohol,if it was made legal there would b one less drug fo dealaz to deal, could make ma streets a lil safer ya kno wut i mean, but is it really morally right to make it legal?? wuts yo input, lemme kno!!


Weed ? ?

[Atmo]

Actually, it is addictive. But its the side effects that people get addicted to. I personally dont think it should be made legal, but i also dont think it should be illegal. Decriminalisation is a better alternative.

[Khakionion]

Well, at my old high school, there were a bunch of "englightened" individuals whose main point on this topic was that weed has a very justifiable medicinal purpose. Now, while I believe that could be very true, that still provides no legal outlet for the average guy who just wants to get high. Personally, I don't think it should ever be viewed as "okay" or "cool" to feed an addiction to sucking ash. Anyway, that's my $.02....

[Ghetto_World]

actualy naa it aint addictive, its all tha feelin that people like, so they keep doin it, not the drug hookin em like niccotene doez

LOL, can I quote you on that? That would go GREAT on my sig. No, really.

[Ghetto_World]

ite.... but itz tru!!!!

[Rovastar]

You can be addicted to most things. But when the medical people talk about addictive they mean physically addictive (e.g. physical side effects when you give up)

The demon weed is not known to have this. Although certain components within Mr Cannabis which are know to be physically addictive as a whole the drug is classed as not.

Remember though drugs can be dangerous without being addictive. LSD (I don't think) is physically addictive but can still be very dangerous.

Anyway my thoughts on marijuana are down the lines of decriminalisation. That and I wish I had some weed in tonight to make MilkDrop more enjoyable.

Sorry people I cannot do Ghetto talk. At least not via a keyboard

[Ghetto_World]

the demon weed?????

umm, ite, lmao

drugs are only gonna kill ya if ur fuckin stupid n u mix em wit sumthin, or you do sumthin thas addictive, now wuts wrong wit a lil harmless weed every so often it aint gonna kill you, n it sure aint addictive, so y not make it legal?? cmon people

i'm with atmo on this one . . . i think it would be better if weed was legal, and alcohol illegal, but that's impossible to realize of course . ..

I stand corrected. Guess that shows how much I know about it

[papadoc]

I smoked a joint one time.
It took me 28 years to put it down.

[slacker52]

Papa stop hogging, you are meant to pass it along! What is up with you?

[cmisker]

How do you mean, "should" it be legal or not??? It's already legal! Oh... that's only in the Netherlands! (I don't do drugs do, never did them either... I mean, what's the point in doing them if they are legal? You don't do anything *illegal*, so, it's no fun, especially since you know it fucks you up!)

[Bilbo Baggins]

I think that all drugs should be legalised.

[Swampy235]

If dope is legalized, then we could take the shitload of money that we spend in prevention and put it into recovery clinics. I think that some european countries do this and their drug problems are much better than ours. As cmisker pointed out, the thought of taking legal drugs is unappealing because that natural thrill you get from doing something bad is gone.

[cmisker]

We got a step futher here... (Besides being the only western country where marijuana is legal)... We also give heroin to the heavily addicted.

I'll just bet you have a lower crime rate too.
At least drug related crime.

[Huehuetenango]

you're right about that, papadoc

places where heroin is given in controlled environments to the addicted do have lower crime rates than otehr countries
when the clinics were cut out in britain, the crime rate soared

[QHOBBES]

see the thing about w33d is if someone steals it from you, yous got
to kill them. there is no if, then, or buts, you have to kill them.
if w33d was legalized we wouldnt have this problem.
[sarcastic voice]since w33d is a gateway drug if it was legalized
people would just want more drugs legalized, cause we all know w33d
just leads to harder drugs[/sarcastic voice]
If all drugs were legal we wouldnt have this Drug War with all its
corruptness.

If buying drugs supports terroist (according to US government) then
wouldn't the legalization of drugs stop this?

Are you on illegal drugs dude?

If this was actually said, I think that Bush is a fool. He is making wild stabs in the dark. He is searching for scape goats.
Hmm... I can remember reading about a guy who did that... Hitler.

If I remember correctly, the government didnt say that. It was a series of really really really stupid anti-drug commercials. If what I say is incorrect, please inform me, I will delete this post and go hide in a corner.

[QHOBBES]

/me goes to offtopicville
Drug War -> U.S. gives money to Taliban to stop growing poppy-seed
plants -> Taliban uses money given to them by the U.S. to fund
terroist attacks -> U.S. says if you buy drugs you support terroist

So if I didn't buy drugs -> there would be no Drug War -> Tabliban
makes money off OPM anyways -> funds terroist attacks with OPM money

congrats, the U.S. just took 4 right turns

[edit]
They said, "If you buy drugs, You support terroist". Who do you think
funds these commericals, the Illumanati?[/edit]

[slacker52]

god those commericals are annoying as hell, to those that like'em

[fastorment]

I fail to see what exactly y'all bitch' about...

But if i were to say, i'd say that weed should remain the way it is right now, a cheap solution fo someone that wants to get high.

and what the fuck was that supposed to mean?????

[Bilbo Baggins]

I think you missed the four letter word that was coming across in Xerxes post there...

Todays word was joke.

[Ghetto_World]

the word joke has no meaning here, since ive started posing in thise forums all you people have done is mock the way i type and speak, ive had enough of it

[papadoc]

...he called Xerxes a liberal.

The language you type, and I assume you speak, is fine,
out on the street corners of the ghetto, in the mean streets of the hood,
or on the videos on MTV that noone watches anymore,
and appropriate around your friends.
I have no problem with that.

But when you step into the arena of public debate,
that type of language should be left behind.
When you speak or type like that in the arena of public debate,
people listen, because they have to, but noone hears what your'e saying.
You're not taken seriously amoung other's in that debate.
You may have a legitimate argument, but if you can't express that
argument with a degree of intelligence in your delivery,
it goes unheard.

The question you asked sparks a debate, and a good one.
But as you can clearly see...the way you delivery your point,
is getting more attention than the point your'e trying to make.

This is just my humble opinion.
You can take it or leave it.

Weed ? ?

Definately not, if it makes you like this ^

[Ghetto_World]

papadoc, ok fine, i'll take your opinion and do my best to type in plain english, you make a good arguement, but please all of you gotta understand, i tought myself everything i needed to know in my life,no one was there to tell me no your doin this wrong.. speech was just one thing i picked up from everyone around me, im not in the best place to get an education and the public school system sux so my best english wont be tha best youve ever heard, but like i said, i'll try if you all would stop makin fun of my speaking, i'd go somewhere else to express my opinions but i dont have one, all i have around me is death and violence to deal with and no place to actually have a real conversation or to vent...

[papadoc]

Well said Ghetto_World.
No one is looking for perfect English, nor expects it.
Just do the best you can with what you know.
Don't sell yourself short either.
You probably know more than you think.

It seems to me you're looking to learn more,
by asking for views and opinions from others,
outside the world you live in.
That's great. This is a good place for that.
Noone here is scared to voice their opinion on anything,
as you've seen.
Just don't let some opinions you don't like get under your skin.
It'll cause you to get gray hair at an early age.

[slacker52]

good man ghetto, and if you want another place to vent we can welcome you here http://www.theroms.com/forums/index.php?s= or the forums in my sig. btw i do understand ghetto talk but it drives me nuts, and alot of the people i know who talk like that smoke pot...you should see where this is headed...

Correction: Extended Pot smoking, by tranquilizing your neurons, will turn you into a "small minded liberal" in the literal sense of the word.

Papadoc: There's a first time for everything...

[Ghetto_World]

Well said Ghetto_World.

thanks, my names nick btw

and um, im sorry for making absolutely no sense in yellin at you Xerxes but around here there is no yelling, getting mad ends in another dead person on the sidewalk..

(hows that english for ya? gettin better??)

[Xerxes]

Ah yes, apology accepted. Peace returns to the bitchlist, even if it is only a brief respite from the next storm.

[slacker52]

[Ghetto_World]

[steak]
