nice and informitive site Mr David Reilly, chief investigator for the study, said the average profile for the interviewees was of regular marijuana use from the age of 17, lasting for 19 years. Some 94 per cent smoked it at least twice a week, and 60 per cent smoked it daily, with a typical quantity being two joints a day of the potent flowering heads of female plants. "We have nothing startling. We don't see any evidence of high psychological disturbance among the people, we see very little evidence of health problems except for respitory problems," said Mr Reilly April 3, 1997, Los Angeles, CA: Habitual marijuana smokers do not experience a greater annual rate of decline in lung function than nonsmokers, according to the latest findings by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine. The results of the eight-year study appear in Volume 155 of the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Donald P. Tashkin, who headed the study, is one of America's foremost experts on marijuana smoking and lung function. |

i personnally feel that pot is a safer drug than aspirin or beer because you can not OD or get killed by it in any normal circumstance. now, i smoke pot because i feel it is an enhancer. i know there is a few members here who have had girlfriends, heck! they may have a girlfriend now!... anyways, you know what it is like have to watch some hienous disney movie. with pot, suddenly lilo and stitch isn't so horrible and can be quite amusing at times...... but without reefer that movie so terrible. i just chill out at home with my girlfriend and we smoke pot. dig, no one gets hurts. its a habit thats cheap to afford compared to drinking. for example. 120 bucks (Canadian) will get me Friday and Saturday wasted, whereas the same amount will get me a half ounce of weed and last over two and a half weeks. and thats why i dont drink anymore |

hrmm, or you could just pick out a better movie... seriously though i have no qualms about legalizing marijuana at all. and i am surprised that there is even much of a fuss over it, especially in a society that is as drug saturated as the united states is already. drug companies have so much sway in our government that it is not even funny. in recent years many horribly dangerous drugs have been prescribed to children and nobody seems to show any remorse but when it comes to legalizing marijuana, something that seems just so harmless, people become very uptight all of the sudden. i just think that some of the arguments that some people use for and against legalization are ridiculous. |

well said and i agree. |

the government would make a few hundred billion a year if they legalized, taxed, educated, private and corporate licienced, and kept it reasonably regulated and taxed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
write up a proposal and give it to your local representative. the more you can include about money and the government making money, the better. in the meantime, i will rudely scoff at your claim of "a few hundred billion a year" and chalk it up to the pot smoke choking your brain of its last few cells. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure they could make billio for example at mccleans site they say bc producers make 2 billion a year we have, what, like 13 provinces... so you do the math |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, 2 x 13 = 26 (billion). where's the other $274 billion? not to mention, those figures are completely meaningless when you are talking about projected tax money as opposed to the current illegal drug economy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah i see, my math seems to be particulary bad tonight! true dat on the other point but in my eyes i could see the government making quite a bit more than the illegal producers even if the same amount of people smoked pot |

well people, there's still time to vote for legalization! we are only at sixty two percent cooome ON!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not a real vote, why do you care? |
||||||||
|

im an obsessive freak if you read any of my posts in this yinder post you would have came to the quick conclusion of " this man is reefer mad!! " so in short and short your inquiry is now thusly solved! |

cannabis will never be legalized in the united states. i'm probably more convinced of this fact than anything else i can think of. this is why i'm not voting; it serves no purpose whatsoever. otherwise i generally favor legalization. if anyone cares... |

yeah, in the usa they are still "at war" with pot here in canada the worst that will happen is you lose your stash! and the general mentality of canadian society has been loosening up over the last decade by leaps and bounds. for example, a few years ago our prime minister put the papers through for decriminalization, and it was big news, but not in the bad way |

Now, this is just an opinion, but it happens to be the truth: 1) Nobody should be forced to do anything, or NOT to do anything, in any way in any relation to anything, 2) unless his behaviour would otherwise impinge on others' liberties. (So murder is still unlawful for a reason. Too bad war isn't.) As far as the "legalization" matter goes--- It's ridiculous, people are not answerable to anybody except themselves in what they do in relation to themselves, and legalization simply means leveling the playfield, cancelling the harm that was in the arbitrary bureaucratic choice in favour of some "policy" (i.e. personal opinion of a bully). Legalization is not a privilege, it's simply an apriori right, at least if human rights are of any concern. Just to be clear here, I think there is no argument that would justify outlawing any drug or substance or guns or jaywalking or anything. A stupid law is a stupid law is a stupid law. It's all hypocritical unless we in the same stroke legalize heroin, opium, coca, datura, magic mushrooms, all sorts of 99% home-tilled alcoholic beverages, angel dust, rat poison, you name it. I'm all for it. And I'm tired of these "but MJ is not so terrible, it should be declassified as a hard drug" arguments, since this implies you'd be happy just with a partial liberalization. I wouldn't. Or maybe I would, but I wouldn't be free. And that's the point. People aren't imbeciles unless they're treated as such. |

i mean, i'm voting "no" when my congressman comes up for re-election. convictions cause convicts. |

I hope pot is never legalised. It would please far too many pricks who wear jester hats, listen to The Levellers and make paper-mache effigies of George W Bush to take to anti-globalisation marches with their stinking hippy friends. I prefer cocaine. |
