Thread: Marijuana Decriminilization Passed(MA)

Up to an ounce. This is so everyone knows your state could be next. Get involved with Marijuana policy changers. Talk about it with your friends, get the movement going into other states. Yes we can make a difference.

That is incredible news! I didn't think I would be coming across any of that on this Obama presidency duh yeah day, but peeling back the war on drugs is about the best thing that can be done for the United States, and freedom is a virtue in the first place.

Does anyone else here live in Massachusetts?

I am freaking happy. I think that they should make it legal, and make alchahol that is greater than 20% illeagal. Any other thoughts on the matter?

Mod, plz merge with original(better, imo) thread.






Oh, and RiaD, I do agree that they should make it legal, but I disagree about the alcohol aspect... that should also stay legal, and in fact, the drinking age should be lowered.

In Italy, France and other places where there is no(or not enforced) drinking age, the amount of teen drinking is exponentially lower than the US, as well as alcoholism is much lower. This is because alcohol isn't placed on a pedestal, it's something they have access to all their life so it's not nearly as "awesome" as teen in the US think it is. They don't feel the need to go overboard once they finally can drink.

I didn't see the other topic didn't say anything about Marijuana in the topic headline.... I didn't know their was a contest for the better thread...

Making any substance illegal causes crime. Hands down. Prohibition does NOT prevent use. It puts a MAJOR revenue bracket into the criminal element and DEMONIZES USERS WHO ARE JUST PEOPLE WITH NORMAL PROBLEMS.

If you belive in prohibition IN ANY FORM....FUCK YOU. You support terroism, Terrorists, The illegal arms market trade, The persecution of enlightened, troubled, or medically dependant individuals (for both have reasons for use).

That's right. The truth is prohibition ONLY supports the DRUG DEALER. You hate dealers? Decriminalize and legalize ALL DRUGS.

A drug dealer arrested in a major bust is nothing more than a help wanted ad on the front page.

You're joking right? I love tequila and vodka too much. If you don't like it then you gotta stop buying the bottom and middle shelves. Top shelf is where it's at


Thoughts on marijuana: Eh. It's fairly harmless, less so than alcohol so I see no reason for it to be illegal. However, there are going to be stupid people who abuse it and have health problems, but that's no different than alcohol and if they like it that much then they're going to do it anyway.

And I guess it's better to do it in Massachusetts where everyone has health care, now we just have to pray that Obama manages to expand that to all states.

I disagree with UM that the war on drugs isn't good. I don't think that we should have Navy Seals in Columbia, but keeping drugs out of America is a good thing. Marijuana is harmless, heroine is just dangerous and should remain illegal forever.

However, I do believe that doctors should be able to get access to whatever they need. Heroine is actually still used in the UK for certain things. The only reason it's getting phased out there is because drug companies are making better drugs.

Cigarettes should also be banned. I'm lucky enough to live in one of the states that have banned smoking from bars, and everyone is much happier. I'm sure that MA doesn't allow smoking marijuana in bars, some of us just don't want smoke in our lungs.

I say destroy the tobacco fields and plant livestock corn for ethanol. They live in the same climate and ethanol is in high demand right now.
