Topic: 5 reasons for global marijuana legalization - page 2. (Read 3588 times)

Here in our country there are group of people who are pushing it to be legalized as it has medicinal value.  I just watched it like a few days ago, a documentary about an epileptic two year old girl.  Because of the hard times her mother seeing her child suffering like that, she learned upon seeing and researching on the internet that marijuana is such a big help/treatment.  There are group of people and some doctors here who are pushing marijuana to be legalized.  On the limit of, it has to be requested by a certain patient who needed the cannabis oil, the oil that was extracted from marijuana that according to them can treat cancer and epilepsy. 

This point can be illustrated in the Bitcoin world so easily... The only statist who imposed a license (nyc) will repeal it when they will see how stupid it makes them.

There is no law in Bitcoin, some companies go bust other raise... The market is dynamic, there are 1000's of Alts competiting to dethrone the King and it's moving great.

The free market is the second most powerful force in the universe, because it's the will of men (the 1st being the Will of God).

Not everyone chose the path of victim hood in the drug war... The cartels and those producers in Afghanistan are ready to kill... And a lot (as much as necessary to guarantee the flow) and the most beautiful thing is that the price reflect the risk making the war on drug simply impossible to win because some children of those profiting of the war on drug consume it (and not only them) making the circle of more violence inevitable.

Anyway all cops and judge played hard in Mexico until the nice guy from the cartel were replaced by a more adapted group, ready to profi from the high price induced by higher risks... At what ever the cost. Furthermore the drug war is wasting limited state resources whose lack will contribute to the professionalism of the drug traders.

More fun is when corrupt politicians receive bribe from the drug trade and then directly or indirectly but some...

Total irrational. I side with the Chinese Emperor who refused the concept of the illegality of a plant.

Birth control pills are way more dangerous to water quality... But it's beyond the intellect of boiling water with radiation monkey descendants ;-)

THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER, ALREADY. They simply don't realize how much power they have. If they didn't, government would have overrun the whole country long ago.

I'll re-post this Karl Lentz post entirely so that you can simply watch the video. The whole video is more than 5 hours, but you need to watch only 10 minutes of it (from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15323373, but re-posted below). CLICK THE LINK IN THE PICTURES BELOW. Don't stop with the video. Learn all that Karl has to say.


Flat Earth con exposed?! This is what Karl Lentz is doing to expose the whole government.

Well if thats the case then id also be happy to do away with any kind of legislation and put the power into the peoples hands so i agree with you here that it should be totally beyond goverment control, although i would be willing to settle of legalisation since thats the best shot we have.


I agree that our politicians were just as bad to go along with the whole thing but alas, It happened and thats what we're now stuck with

I am totally NOT NOT NOT advocating legalizing marijuana. Why not? Legalization means government control, just like illegalization does. Government has too much control already. Rather, let them repeal all the laws against marijuana, and then drop out of the picture, letting the people be free to do what they want.

Totally agreed.
But you can't blame USA for the bann of marijuana. You must blame our useless shitty governments for, like everytime, kissing the ass of USA. Like in most things, our shitty weak elected assholes decided to obey the Americans while they should have just told us "man you're just too stupid to be even listened" and go on with an actual logical legislation...

But hey, USA corrupted nearly every aspect of our life, marijuana is just one of them...

Can you just confirm that you are actually advocating legalising marijuana? If so this is probably the first thing we can finally agree on. This is one area where i actually look up to america for pushing legislation forward (even if it is their fault it was banned in the first place )

What good is life without fun? I mean, if you have all the money in the world, and all the authority in the world, and all the knowledge, and all the power, but you don't have fun, what good is it to live?

The smart people in government, the ones with the authority, the ones with the money, the ones with the knowledge, the ones with the power... they don't have fun. Rather, they are miserable. And they are so jealous of the rest of us for having marijuana fun, that they have made it illegal just so that we will be miserable just like they are.

You know the old saying, "Misery loves company."

having marijuana illegal just make normal people into criminals, As said above its a victimless crime or it would be if it was legal, Its the illicit trade that makes marijuana bad.

As far back as we have documentation, humans enjoyed taking mind altering substances but at the moment the only thing you can take is alcohol. Why not have an option to take something much much more harmless? A recent article i read compared the negative effects of taking marijuana to similar as not flossing. In actual fact comparing marijuana to drugs like heroin and alcohol is ridiculous due to how much more dangerous these 2 are.

And fight global warming by sequestration of co2...

Personally I have 0 problem to use drones hellfire missiles against people like Seansky. Let's say that my daughter started to use weed or heroin. Seansky will want to jail her for a victimless crime and expose her to criminal. I will cheers and celebrate and replay the video of when the missile blow the hell out of seansky... What a great day. 1 terrorist less. And I don't care if it's a few billions people... Drone manufacturing and before God after such mass extermination I would say and answer : 1 for my daughter 2 for the survival of a plant so that thy creation isn't exterminated. I wait for thy judgement.

Remember seansky the monopoly of violence can switch from one election (or coup).

Marijuana legalization could be a billion dollar industry. It could provide jobs for unemployed and a boost in the economy.


Comparing heroine to marijuana 

Can you explain your reasoning for not allowing recreational use?  Not allowing medical use is criminal,  recreational use should be legal imo  because why not?  Coffee, alcohol, nicotine, chocolate and tea are all legal and most of these have far worse health implications than marijuana.

Well I think that marijuana legalization ain't right. Well it should just be legalized for medical purposes only. If it were to be used for other purpose, then it should not be legalized.

Alcohol is a much harder drug than weed, if drugs should be illegal then alcohol should be at the top of the list.  Maybe we should ban coffee and chocolate since these have about the same ammount of risks to your health as weed.  As for heroin and others, it's not really the job for police to tell people what they can and can't take.  I don't think those kind  of drugs should be sold in shops though.

But basically its outrageous that alcohol is legal when it's so dangerous and antisocial but marijuana is illegal.

I dont think it should be regulated. That should be the same in other vices like cigarettes and alcohol no one prohibited it. And I think marijuana is way safer because it has no chemicals its just a pure leave unlike cigarette and tobacco.

Yes, totally agree with all the 5 points. Good analysis

Decriminalizitation of all psychoactive users is the only option that make sense in the context of national security.

And

Legalization of all psychoactive plants is the only option that make sense in the context of national security.

To think the contrary is a proof positive of your potential spiritual membership with ISIS. You believe in the use of violence and coercion on victimless consentfull damage less activities done by fellow human beings. You believe to be on the right side and legitimized in using violence (incarceration, fines, executions) what ever the source of your belief, the Founding Fathers of America never thought about criminalizing plant users. They weren't fools...

You are wrong. Legalization does not mean government control. On the other hand, regulation represents government control. Still, legalization and regulation is the best we can hope for marijuana. At least it will be better than the current scenario, where Marijuana users are treated as the number one national security threat (even ahead of the ISIS recruiters).

Legalization means government control.

Nobody cares about government controlling marijuana, especially not government.

What government is after is controlling YOU through the appearance of marijuana control.

Don't want freedom? Legalize.

I think that legalization of marijuana would be a good thing

"In sum, there is little evidence that decriminalization of marijuana use necessarily leads to a substantial increase in marijuana use." National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine (IOM). 1999. Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base. National Academy Press: Washington, D.C., 102. http://www.nap.edu/read/6376/chapter/1

There are many other studies that came to the same conclusion

I think that the positive aspects would outweigh the negative ones
