You dont need 50k+ to donate, Buzzby said the 1/8 of what you spend on Marijuana a year... Not 1/8th of your paycheck... Look, Buzzby says he donates 10$ a month, thats 120$ a year. Around here 10$ gets you a gram, which means sacraficing one gram a month. I think you can do that, I think everyone here could do that, just some people choose not to, and make up bull**** excuses... (Im not saying your excuse is bull****, I'm saying most people in general, then again you dont even have an excuse yet...)... You dont even have to donate 10$ a month. Howbout 5$? thats 60$ a year, and if you have a job, I'm sure you can pay that, even someone with a minimum wage job could sacrafice 60$ a year...

Exactly, so join one of the three groups everyone mentioned... If you want people to unite, then don't go off, rebel, and start your own. Thats not uniting. Three groups already uniting, dont make it anymore confusing...

You can't blame people for your ideas failing... People are entitled to their own opinions. I'd say if a majority of people DON'T like your idea, then it is a bad idea... You need the community to help your idea, and if you can't even get the community to agree with it, how are you going to get people to join it? Also, telling people that its OUR fault that your ideas aren't good, is not going to get them to help you either... Let the people decide if your idea is good, not just you, or a few of your friends.

Actually I meant the price of an 1/8th ounce of marijuana.

If every smoker in America contributed 1% of what they spend on marijuana and accessories these organizations would have half a billion dollars a year to work with instead of the 6 - 8 million dollars they're working with now. Most of that is contributed by a couple of billionaires.

Thats what I thought you ment, but after I looked at it for a bit, I thought it was what I said haha my bad, still same thing. Give up smoking for a week or two... Put the money into getting the stuff legal, that way it wouldnt cost so much in the first place... Everyone gains in the long run, think about it...

Im not blaming others for my "failing idea".

It was an idea i had, and I asked for your thoughts and opinions, which after I got them wished I never asked for them, they were not very kind.

I didnt ask for you tell me "no body gives a f***", and to slam my idea into the ground. As I said before constructive criticism is welcome, telling my my idea is **** in so many words in not constructive. There were a few posts where the people were nice about it, and told me what was wrong with the idea, which I do welcome...

If all the posters are like this in this community, you've really turned me off from coming back.

I have yet to see the posts you speak of. No one here said your ideas were ****, just that the thinking behind them was somewhat flawed. You are taking the reactions way too seriously, and reading more into them than whats there. Just because other, more practical concepts were mentioned doesn't mean your idea was discounted or that we thought it was ****. As other people said, even minimal donations to the right organizations will benefit the cause more directly. If you have the time to go through the interview/drug test screenings of potential employers, you have more than enough time and reources to donate. After all, time is money right? For your idea to have any impact on even a small scale, it would require a substantial investment of time. its not as if you can simply go from potential employer to potential employer immediately asking for a drug test. Most positions require a conditional offer of employment before the tests are ever administered. Can you imagine the amoutn of time one would have to invest just to get the chance to fail a urine test? Eqach emplyer could potentially suck hours of your life away before the test was ever given. In that period of time, even working the most menial of jobs, you would earn more than enough to donote and make a real difference. Your idea isn't ****, it just isnt practical in any way

I just reread the whole thread and found none of the unkindness of which you speak. You solicited opinions about an idea you came up with. People gave you their opinions. No one attacked you. No one said your idea was sh*t and no one impugned your intelligence for thinking it up. They presented why they didn't think the idea was very practical and why they thought that the amount of effort it would entail could better be put to use in another direction.

What's the problem? What did you expect?l

Default Feelings, nothing more than feelings . . .

Is this a product of that "outcome-based" education I hear about? No idea is a bad idea, no question is a stupid question, no grades in school, no red ink on papers . . .

None of my posts attacked you, I stated the obvious. I was telling the facts, not saying your idea was ****. Again like Troublemaker said, you're reading them, and automatically thinking that we think your idea sucks. No, our criticism is trying to tell you, why make a 4th group, when theres already 3 groups that could use your help. It's pointless, and in the long run, would never succeed. Again like Troublemaker said, if you have the time to fail multiple urine tests then you have time to donate a small amount to one of the groups that are already trying to fight for it.
