Default The radical theory.

lol I have this theory that is so bull**** but I had to come out with it. America is always the last country to reform any kind of laws, because even though the country was founded on a revolution the Americans themselves are afraid of change. Slavery ended not too long ago and civil rights for African Americans weren't enforced except for 30 years ago.

Wouldn't it be strange if this whole marijuana controversy sparked another civil war? States are already overriding federal law.

Not that I'm saying it will happen of course but this marijuana debate is being fought at the extremes which is exactly how the slavery debate was.

Never. Remeber in the 70's people thought herb would be legal "any day now." Thirty years has gone by and what has changed since then? A lot of people will disagree, but I think nothing much. A lot of ex-hippies are now AGAINST weed too. That's just one of the many problems with marijuana legalization, "Cognitive dissonance" and hypocrisy.

Think about this... Our parents went through the same stuff as us. I'm very sure that a lot of parents have at least tried it. I know my parents used to smoke marijuana. Do you honestly think they tell us everything?

They smoked pot, grew up, became part of the voting population and it wasn't legalized for their generation. It may not be for ours either. Perhaps with all the advances in the medical properties of marijuana, it will become legal.

I truely believe it will be legal some day, I just don't know when.

I voted 5 years. And I stick by it. Marijuana is getting further along thanx to medicinal use. Its just all the people in power that think: drugs are drugs and drugs are bad. There is no way Marijuana should be illegal. Cigarettes and Alchohol are more dnagerous than weed. how many ppl are killed each year thanx to smoking and driving? Practically none! But like someone said, it is thanx to those soccer moms and morons in office that our keeping it illegal. I dont even know why drugs are illegal. Dont we have a right to smoke weed, or why does the government get to say what we can and cannot put into our bodies, if we wanna smoke crack and fry our brains we should have the right to, its only harming ourselves. Of course, smoking crack is a pretty stupid thing to do, so why we'd want to is beyond me.

The government could benefit from having marijuana legal. Instead of having ppl on welfare they could be cultivating marijuana.

If marijuana were to become fully legalized like tobacco, I doubt the government would want us to grow it.

It would probably be marketed similarly to tobacco. We aren't allowed to grow tobacco plants, we're only allowed to buy it from licenced vendors. It would probably be the same with marijuana.

I can imagine that headshops will start selling all kinds of specialty strains!

A drug which has been used for so long in cultures around the world and which has been banned for what? 65, 70 years? It's benefits over alcohol and tobacco are so clear.
The time is drawing nearer when weed will be legal & socially acceptable again.
once it is legalized in the states the whole world will follow and we will have a 'super'- session to celebrate.
give it 10 years.
I have so many happy memories of times with friends & weed.
Why must this thing which can bring so much joy be outlawed?

It's sad to say, but....too many powerful people in this so-called "Land of the Free" seem to have the idea that a person's life should be measured in misery, suffering, and servitude instead of happiness, joy, and freedom. *soft chuckle*

Cool Don't forget about us GEN X'ers!!

I hope we will see and end to this madness in the next 10 years for a few reasons......

First, us Gen x'ers are now turning 30.. We have been through the 'Reagan era' drug war and have seen our friends become casualties of this war. You can already see our influence in the 9 states that now have medical MJ laws in effect. Within the next 10 years we will be holding seats in Congress and the Senate and even the White House!!

Second, the soccer moms everybody is worrying about are really not a problem anymore. We can all see through the lies now.. We have the internet and politicians like Gov. Gary Johnson spreading the truth to so called soccer moms. People are waking up and smelling the roses . They are seeing there friends and family being sent away for mandatory drug sentences when child rapist and murders have no such sentences.

And lastly, Just about everybody I know has or does smoke pot. They didn't go crazy, they didn't become addicted, they didn't go on a crime spree, and they didn't kill anybody!!! At worst, they got sleepy and ate too much junk food!!

My point is.... Almost everybody I know, knows what the US Government says about there war on drugs is complete crap!!!! All their propaganda from the 60's-90's was and is complete crap!! And we all see it....And we all vote!!!

So really it's up to all of you guys & gals out there how long this takes!!

I'm going to continue to do my part!!


WAY-TO-GO COLORADO!!!
The ninth state to see through the bull****!!!!

I'd go with "sometime, just not in the near future". It's like Fuzz E Logic said. In Cheech & Chong's Next Movie, Chong's talking about how weed will be legal in a "couple years". That was in 1980.
