Topic: Should weed be legalized? POLL - page 4. (Read 5580 times)
Alcohol kill more people than anything else, and it is legal. How does that work?
I do not partake, but I do not see a reason why it should not be legal.
Of course it should it needs to be recreational hands down and I dont understand why it hasent been nationwide yet.
Laws make problems, nothing more. Any law, or lack of law dealing with weed (or anything including crack, murder, traffic violations, and tax evasion, ect) only serves to hurt people.
An arena where legislation is impossible, where institutionalized, state-violence-backed laws are obsolete is what I'm voting for.

I don't want any government interference on my own business unless it threatens another human being.
Hashish is just "plant concentrate". You can shake the plants on a sieve to collect the resin or "pollen" or THC, you can do it dry or cold and wet.
We're talking about the plant itself, not the cartels. You legalize weed, then the cartels will no longer find weed to be profitable as every medical dispensary around the corner will have one. Then they won't murder you over weed.
I can't say the same about other drugs though.

Yeah, why murder an innocent green plant? Has it ever done anything to you? No one has ever died because of it.
The Mexican Cartels would disagree with you about this. But yes it is a natural plant... Until its THC level is artificially boosted by humans, and transformed into pure hashish.
GMO Weeds are next.
So I vote yes for the weed you find in the forest, untouched. And no for the weed with blood on it.
I'm gonna quote this here as it's relevant to this discussion:
Yes, and we can look at concrete data, at least when it comes to addiction.
I was involved in the pro cannabis liberalization and drug consumption decriminalization movement 13 years ago in my country. I grew up before decriminalization. I grew up seeing junkies in every corner, I played near used needles and syringes, cases of addiction in family, neighbors... Practically everybody new someone close with heroin addiction.
13 years after decriminalization things are much better, there are syringe exchange programs, rehabilitation programs, everybody caught using something had to have a few meetings with a psychiatrist, several of my friends had to go, fortunately, I was never caught, and it was always my opinion that send 20 year old college guys who smoke joints to psychiatric consultations a waste of resources, many people with serious addiction could use the attention.
On the other hand, we have US War on Drugs, and has far as I know drugs are winning big time.

It's all supply and demand. it depends on the events occurring after it is criminalized or decriminalized; the level of enforcement and more.

I don't want weed legalized, or for it to be illegal; this implies government knows better than you do as to whether everyone should be allowed to use it or not.
I'd rather politics simply stop encroaching my personal life. The ban on weed is completely moronic; even with weed being illegal, it is still used by many people. The ban does nothing (as with all bans) but make criminals out of once innocent people. The only thing a ban can possibly do is result in a new form of taxation; catch all the people with item X and make them pay extra for it, and all that money goes straight to the state. And remember: "It's for your own good." And yet, we already know what's best for us, so we're already comfortable knowing whether we want to smoke weed, or if we do not want to smoke weed; this vote is made easily by either smoking, or not smoking.
But I guess it doesn't matter to me; I don't smoke the stuff. And if you smoke the stuff, you already know the law is a meaningless, and expensive inconvenience; time, and time, and time again, we prove that threats of violence cannot sufficiently govern behavior, else murders would be a relic of the past.

There shouldn't even be a long-term stable authority to beg for an innocent plant to please please legalize it.

It is just a plant. You should be not only allowed to grow it at your backyard for your personaluse, but also grow it for profit to stimulate economy
