quickie poll for legalizing.

[thesightless]

well? seriously, dont vote dilute the vote by voting yes b/c you are a smoker. i wanna try to get an "outside view on this.:"

[picklemonkey]

I used to smoke, haven't in years... the shit makes me crazy now. It's dangerous, but muuuuch less dangerous than alcohol. Legalize it, restrict it like alcohol, and tax the fuck out of it, like Cuba will be when its embargo ends.

[thesightless]

yeah, same here. used to smoke a ton but havent in about 3 years. i would not go back , but i do think it should be treated like alchohol. i.e. give a DWI for people who are retarded while behind the wheel. but let em have it. who are they hurting if they smoke a bowl in thier basement? you hurt more people by driving you car 3 times a week.

dont vote if you use the internet either

But if you poll the non-smokers view only, then your 'outside' viewpoint is possibly biased and not an accurate representation of the general public.

Why not open the poll to everyone?

[Jibgolly]

there are pros and cons to it being legal. the pros are obvious, but what i'dd like to know are the cons.
there has to be some reason it still isnt legal yet!

[Garrick]

because everyone thinks its a "gateway" drug to other things.... that is one of the main cons in peoples' minds.

lots of polls are skewed to make it appear that it creates violence too. in some cases that might be true, but i think in most its the exact opposite.

sorry, i just wanted to hear the viewpoint of the non-smoker, because to them, it doesnt truly affect them(medically) so i tried to keep it a matter of their ideas. obviously those who smoke will want it. those who dont shouldnt really be affected if someone wants to lite a spliff b4 watching the wizard of OZ with the dark side of the moon

personally i feel like I never hurt a soul when i used to blaze. so i just wanted to hear your points.

I would like to see made legal over here in the U.K but i can't see it while Blair is in power :cry:

[skahound]

I don't smoke and in fact I've hated most of my experiences when I have smoked. Legalize it though.

[danahs]

anyone know the details about it being legalized in montana?

[brakada]

I was... and still probably am a heavy smoker, so I didn't vote in the poll, but I can name quite a few pros and cons.

pros:
- the market (and the quality of the weed) could be controlled
- the government could get its share out of it by collecting taxes,
- an age limit could be imposed (I am simply a little bit concerned about 10 and 11 year old kids who smoke pot)
- I think weed could be used for all sorts of things (medical and industrial use)
- noone would be a criminal just for smoking pot or owning some for personal use (which IMHO should never be a crime)

cons:
- weed would definitely become more expensive,
- there's always a matter of health problems connected to Marihuana (it isn't exactly healthy no matter how you look at it),

Honestly, besides the health hazard I don't think there are any other serious cons...

They should legalize it everywhere --> works fine here in Holland
Don't smoke btw ....

[nbpgt]

im pretty much to the fact that if something doesnt affect me personally & you do your thing on your side of the fence.. have at it.. smoke till the ozone depletes..

hm.. but then it would affect my pastey white skin.

if weed is going to be legall, is gonna be cheap!
