    Default Marijuana: Your Opinions

    Hello everybody! I thought I would start a new thread.

    What are your opinions about Marijuana? Have you ever used it in your life, do you smoke occasionally, or are you a regular smoker? Do you think it should be legalized? Ok for medical purposes?

    I smoke marijuana pretty much on a daily basis. It is basically my anti-depressant. It really mellows me out and makes me less high strung after a long day of school or work. I used to smoke a TON more than I do now, I cut back a lot, even quit for a couple months. When I stripped, I used to smoke at work all the time. It helped me feel more social since when I danced, I was too young to drink legaly. But I'm 21 now, but unfortunatly I had to retire from dancing.

    Any potheads or ex-potheads out there?

    My opinion on pot is that it should be legalized and taxed much like cigarettes.

    I also feel that there should be penalties for driving under the influence of pot much like drunk driving, because much like booze pot is a downer and does affect the reaction time.
    I am not now a pot smoker but back in the day I usually had a fatty blazin 24/7, unless I was methed out lol

    Regular. Like two or three times a day. Mary Jane and I are quite aquainted.

    Legal but controlled, like alchohol. I think adults should be able to smoke it if they want, but i don't think they should be driving while, or just after, they do it. Responsible usage. I don't want my paramedic smoking reefer, for instance. On his or her off hours is one thing, but WHILE (S)he's saving my life, no, i don't want her high on anything.

    I've never touched the stuff myself. I've never done any drugs. I guess there's an up side to that, because whenever my friends got into trouble, they'd come running to me to help them.. LOL My best friend.. sheesh.. I never knew just HOW MUCH he smoked until we visited him a couple years ago in TN. Yikes.. He smokes Mary-do-ya-wanna like cigarettes. He's bold too.. We were driving with him in his truck, and the boy lit one up and puffed away while driving.. LOL

    He actually DID get my hubby to try it. I got it ALL on video.. heh..

    Anyhoo.. I believe that it should be legalized, and taxed like Cigarettes, like Blade said. They really kick our asses with taxing those. Damn.. If I didn't get them online, I'd be paying damn near $7.00 a freakin pack. NO THANK YOU! I'll stick to getting them from the reservations online.. LOL

    I think pot should be treated like alcohol... but better since it doesn't destroy your health. Do you know there are actual receptors in your brain for THC! Of course... it does make me lazy... I don't do it during the school week.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    I used to smoke constantly and I loved it, but I took a break for a few months and now I don't smoke at all. I don't think it should be openly legalized, meaning I don't think they should just advertise by saying "okay it's legal now", but I think it should be legal in the sense that if you get caught doing anything with it, you won't get into trouble.

    I've tried it a few times and it is simply not for me. The time loop that I seem to enter freaks me out. I don't have any real issue with it being legalized except that I do think the cases of smoking and driving would go way up. It's just too easy to pull out a joint and puff your way into nearly instant oblivion.

    Never done anything of the kind. Hell, I barely even use alcohol. Too much of a control freak, not to mention I make an active effort not to toxify my system in the first place. Decriminalization would be a good start and give us more space in prisons for real felons rather than Johnny-Dimebag-in-my-backpack users, not to mention better 4th and 14th Amendment protections.

    I guess my reality has never been so inherently dissatisfactory to where I felt the need to augment it chemically. But, in like so many other things, I'm odd that way.

    Two cents.

    When I was in high school I smoked pot quite a bit,didn't mind hash either, but into my twenties and 30's not as much, and I haven't touched the stuff in over 4 years, hopefully never to go back. To say there are no effects on your health is the biggest load of crap out there. You can get throat and lung cancer from smoking pot, especially from the stuff here in Canada, the THC levels of the stuff grown hydroponically here is off the charts. I had a couple of roommates that used to grow 2-3 plants for their own use as well as to sell to friends and this stuff was strong. Pot also effects your brain, not that other things out there don't as well, but people should know that there are side-effects from this. If you are going to make it legal the government should be the only ones selling it, as organized crime or whom ever doesn't pay taxes on their profits, so lengthy jail terms for anyone selling it would be my only requirement. I have no problem with anyone doing it, as it does take the edge off of things, but when your short/long term memory goes just remember what caused it.

    I haven't burned in almost 3 months. Although I may in the future start to experiment with cooking.

    I don't do it. Have tried it, once, but didn't care for it.
    Plus I'm lazy enough on my own.

    LOL Raven! When I smoke I like to clean too! Well, it depends on the pot. Some pot makes me lazy and some pot makes me want to do stuff like clean.

    Thanks for all your responses!

    My thoughts exactly.

    I smoked often prior to deciding to have a baby and I know lots of people who smoke , some of those don't even drink alcohol- ever ! I myself could easily never drink again if pot were legal. Hell ,I barely drink at all since I quite dancing- a glass of wine with dinner once a month or so but that's it. I HATE hangovers and get them easily, especially no that my tolerance level has evaporated.

    I don't smoke now nor do I allow it at my house or in my car but it's solely for legal reasons. I have more than myself to think about now. But I do miss it at times .

    Maybe it's just the people i have been around who smoke pot, but it seems to make them act a fool, or just fall asleep.

    I smoked once or twice but i don't like "a joint"
    do you call it "pot"?? that's funny because in holland "pot" means "lesbian"
    a joint is the sigaret with marijuana inside this is how we call it in Holland
    A joint makes me dizzy and tyred. Cleaning my house after smoking??? your are sure you smoke marijuana?? or garuana

    I've seen both the positive and negative ramifications to pot.

    Negative- those 'potheads' that remain unemployed, do nothing all day, experience long term behavioral problems from it, completely lose their drive and motivation through daily use, etc.etc.

    Positive- I've seen it used as an antidepressant, something to calm and soothe, medicinal purposes for cancer and patients with recurring pain and the like. I've seen it save lives from a medicinal standpoint for cancer patients- converting daily use of codeine, vicodin and valium into smoking a bowl or consuming it in foods. Radiation, chemo and surgery already weakens one's system- the bombardment of harsh toxins replaced with natural 420 is a life saver for the healing process, as well as instigates eating/hunger which works miracles for recovery.

    For social use, I'd rather see people use marijuana than alcohol. There is no hangover and people generally dont get violent on marijuana. Anyone that has done security will tell you that for some people, a few too many drinks can turn some people into real violent assholes. The most I've ever seen marijuana do is cause people turn into eating machines.

    Here in California, it is controlled for medicinal purposes. People can obtain licenses for it's use AND growing, and there are various cannibus clubs where it can be purchased and used legally. I'd like to see similar nationwide.
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.

    Last thing we need is pot users driving like we have people driving after they drank.
    Just another million deaths a year to add if we legalize it.

    As for the "If we legalize it, we can tax it"

    U.S. makes TRILLIONS in taxes, we are fine in the tax category.

    When was the last time you heard about someone smoking a joint and going out to shoot someone. You hear that crap about alchohol all the time. Now, you might hear about someone smoking a joint and forgetting to go shoot someone...

    Gabe, by legalizing it, the US saves TRILLIONS in legal costs. Who do you think pays for all those trials? The Judge?
