Or will it ever be legal? I love America. I've lived here my whole life. I've discovered beautiful things, and it's sad that one of the most beautiful things, marijuana, has to be illegal. My main reason from smoking regularly is the fact that I don't want to get caught and get a criminal record. I am 22 years old, a pretty young guy, with a future ahead of me.. I don't want to ruin it all because I got caught with some pot.

I feel, as many others do, that if marijuana was legal, it would be a much better world, and would eventually become more socially acceptable. People will realize it has many valuable uses, other than reactional smoking.

In America, anytime soon, will marijuana be legal? Is it a losing battle to try to get our government to legalize it? I know some states support marjuana for medical purposes. Is this a big step forward to full out, legalization?

Any thoughts?

The only thing that keeps me going sometimes is my faith in our fellow persons, the tireless campaigners who strive for the reform of the archaic laws of the country. Just take a look at how many states have decriminalised for medical use, and the compassion clubs etc. I realise this is different to legalisation, especially for recreational uses, but when the little future Johnnys and Janeys see their mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles all smoking weed with no harm and their minds are rid of the foul propaganda the country will change.

I think thats it is a battle worth fighting for. The rest of the world is already moving towards either decriminalization or legalization. The US is going to start losing some valuable allies in the War On Drugs. England is moving toward decriminalization right now. Canada will get there soon as well. US companies will see the amount of money that could be made from marijuana and push the government for legalization. I'm sorry to say this, but I think that tobacco companies will be the way to legalization. If they start growing marijuana in some of their tobacco fields, or even set up indoor grows, they could make a lot of money, and still be able to sell tobacco since alot, but not all, of marijuana smokers smoke tobacco. I'll probably quit cigarettes if marijuana were legal. Maybe not Anyway, the world is changing and the US will not be able to stand alone. Not when that much money is involved.

One thing I have noticed is the massive increase of mj in the media. How many shows (tv and radio) use it as a prop now - something which means gradual acceptance to me. I mean, somtimes I am amazed that I can watch tv for an evening and see 3 separate referrences to mj and its use - pretty amazing to me in a country where it is illegal.
However, I think there is still a long, hard battle ahead.

...Be patient...Be safe... Be as active as you can be...

Yes the tide is turning, it will take some time...

BUt the proofs are coming in that are needed to properly bring evidence to the courts and legislatures of the land are coming through on almost a weekly basis. Check out the news on the home page...especially the Science and Tech news where the info new discoveries confirming the uses of mj.

My latest research just turned up interesting findings on cell necrosis and apostosis ...the way cells die and are removed from the system...very important in terms of the immune system and the body's defenses agaisnt foreifn anti bodies, the lymphocytic system, the immune system, and cleaning the body of dead or diseased tissues (malignancies, et al.)

Previous research has shown cancer to be a strong pain reliever, anti inflamatory without the serious stomach side efect or metabolic side effects of anti inflamattory drugs on the market used for arthritis and other serious joint injuries, body pain.

Each proof of its benefits, its safety in moderate use, etc. brings us closer to acceptance.

ANd of course there are grass roots groups like the ARMU and NORML. get invoved, get educated, get out there ...no wait..

...have a cookie ...now get out there

I can't help but to think thaat maybe one day in the future Mary J will be legel. If i don't see it and my kids don't see it but maybe my grandchildern might. At least it will be done in the furure and change the world for the future generations and i will to know that maybe I did something to help that case.

Eventually Ppl will have to see the obviuos. I think that someday it will be legel when i don't know and really if it were right now we would still be looked at and called a pothead

lets face it. its not ever going to be legalized. even though other countries are and have moved toward legalization, were not. the damn government is brain washing and has brain washed millions of americans into thinking weed is the worste thing in the world! plus they make too much money by locking up these "terrible marijuana users". it sux. it just makes me very quite sad that every1 in america doesnt know the truth about marijuana. i wish all americans have a chance to check out websites like thse ones.

But in time, when the rest of the world has either legalized or decriminalized the US will see how much money could be made. Marijuana can be grown in any state of the lower 48. It could be exported and taxed. American companies will be making money off of marijuana and then they will be the principal suppliers for America. The only other way I can see mj being legalized would be if popular opinion changed and the majority of Americans were for legalization. Politicians, in order to keep their power, would have to legalize or they wouldn't be able to make money, which is what politicians care about most. Both of these situations are possible, but i think that both depend on the rest of the world changing first. England is getting there, and i bet Canada will go that way as well. The American people will not be able to ignore that. But we can't win if we don't fight. The best way is to change someone's mind, even if they never, ever smoke. Just so they realize the truth and vote yes on legalization. Thats my $0.02.
I'm sooooooooooo high.
