what's your opinion on this?
im asking because it's been such a hot topic recently in canada, the government is thinking about legalizing marijuana. im not convinced it will happen though, the usa are pressuring canada not to do this.
my opinion on this matter is that it's more positive than negative. better quality, better control, and a shitload of new revenues for the country.

hehe, no, it's not legal now, but in a few months, you never know what they'll decide.
it's going to be decriminalized, that's for sure imo.

pot is one of the sweetest smells ever.. (good pot that is). Cigarette smoke is about 50x harsher than weed smoke, stench wise.

I'm all for it. There is a referendum on the ballot where I live to decriminalize posession of less than 2 ounces or 2 plants for a first offense. It is just a tiny step toward legalization, but I'll take it.
I'm surprised to see the referendum, this is an extremely conservative area.

okay i'm sick of drug topics, i've begun to realize that chemical use is just another moral, like how it's evil to let your 16 y/o kid drink a beer, but it's fine to put them on ritalin...
i just want to smoke my weed in peace, and i'm sick and tired of topics that make the idiots (sorry, but if you're against legalization that's what you are imo) bitch about my drug use
ENOUGH ALREADY

why dont you start growing weed then so that it becomes legal, since it will become legal the day you start.. :)
havent smoked in a while. atleast not in a month and a half. dont worry, autumn is almost here and then there is not much else to do... i prefer to be drunk in the spring/summer and stoned in the autumn/vinter :)

legal or illegal,....who cares?
just buy your stash and space yourself the fuck out.
Nice thing about the semi-legalisation here is that the coffeeshops that sell the stuff also hold pool and soccertable (?)competitions.

I could grow it if I wanted to (and possibly may be), but with govt regulated weed, the prices would drop so much because the small time dealers could never compete with the govt's mass producing of it.. My wet dream is to be able to walk into a convenient store and purchase a pack of joints for the same price as a pack of cigarretes today.
mmmmm....

no, it will NEVER be "legalised" in western society, and there's a reason for that. the same fucking reason everything else is illegal... because society deems its bad for you. and take it from me, it is.
what scares me is the increasing child like attitude we have towards.. well... everything.
i'm big scared, man. dope is so introvert, i.e. self-obsessed. if we're gonna progress as a species we're gonna have to learn to 'communicate'.
comprendez?

is there a valid argument for the illegality of marijuana? of course it should be legal.
please see this info:

very good information for those interested in the topic. especially interesting and irritating is "the report the WHO tried to hide."

cannabis is not introvert. that's just you and many people's experience. when i smoke i find myself unable to walk the middle ground.... it's either be stoned and hide inside myself, or be high and be very expressive, indulgent and drunk on the moment. the former is what i did years back, the later is what i do now. it's only a matter of balance, like many things.

NO, dont legalize it. Yes someday I might get some record for it if I get caught(the first time nothing happened) but hey thats the price you get for not being more careful....people who smoke are more noticable to visual things...
Back to what I was saying, legalizing weed is not the smart thing to do. And the government here certainly wont do it

blatant echo - all the peple i care about have accepted my "habit".
Lol, drug users, for some reason that's correct but when someone calls me a "drug user" for smoking weed, im sorry i have to laugh at their whole uptighness.
It's fuckgin marijuana.
In truth I think alcohol is more dangerous by fa than pot. More agressive behaviour, overconfidence "yeah I can drive no worries" etc etc.
Not saying pot is good, I just feel that most of the anti popheads ive seen on the net need to take the pencil out of their collective ass.

i simply pointed out that legalization of "pot" will added beurocracy our country desperatly doesn't need.
btw: using "pot" makes you a drug user. And if you are infering to my tone when I wrote "drug user", luckly you guessed right.
I'll remove the pencil from my ass when you remove the drugs from your body :) Neither will happen, so why don't we keep it illegal and not add any more government to our government?
maybe that makes too much sense

drinking alcohol makes you a drug user drinking coffee makes you a drug user smoking cigarettes makes you a drug user
look, i dont mean to have a go at ya man ive just had this conversation over and over...lol..
besides you never know, im not a very regular drug user, so there's quite a realistic chance that i will remove the drugs from my body.....
does that include coffee though ? :)

I'm not preaching, didn't mean to come off that way, just sharing.
I'd like pot to be legal so our country could tax it. That is the only benefit I see in legalization.
Is the beuracracy worth it? If the government can tax it heavy, sure, if not, well, we don't need more government.
