Marijuana Discussion

[SockHead]

Should it be legalized? Have you tried it? Do you live in a region that legalized it? Discuss.

 

[Boidoh]

Is this you trying to prove a point for the 18+ board?

It shouldn't be legalized IMO. I haven't tried it. And I don't live in a country where its legal.

lol

I haven?t tried it, but I think it should be legalized, alcohol seems more "dangerous" than marijuana does.

Legalize and tax the hell out of it. Potheads get their win, people who actually need it for medical reasons win, and we get more money. Lookie there, I think that problem is solved.

I do live in a country where it's legal to a certain point (only for yourself to use, you are not allowed to sell it on the streets) I never tried it and I never will, I believe that it is poison to your body. In my country some people even are allowed to use it as a medicine and I guess its up to them to use it but like I said, I never will

This pretty much. As a libertarian, I don't want to tell people they can't use drugs, especially things as petty as weed.

I'm in Maryland. I'm pretty sure that it's legalized for medicinal purposes here, and they MIGHT be working on a bill to legalize for recreational purposes.

I'm moving to Washington state, which is is recreational purposes over there.

Props to Uruguay though!

I'm kind of more open about drugs though, compared to most people. For example, I think most, if not all drugs should be legal. So much easier to regulate, and it'd certainly make the cartels a lot less powerful.

I was always taught growing up that marijuana is bad and I even said to myself that I wouldn't try drugs. Tried weed, loved it. Same goes for alcohol. Tried it, loved it. You can apply that to almost anything. I'm not a bad person because I like marijuana. It's just a niche that I like participating in.

Oh yeah, and it's not legal in Florida... yet

Should it be legalized?

Politics shouldn't be a subject for discussion on a world wide forum.

That depends if you're approaching the issue of legalisation from a political angle, rather than moral/ethical.

On this note, agreed. It's certainly beneficial:

Stress is a major contributor to acne).

Avoiding the smoke is possible though, by using a vaporizer.

I also want to post this. Quick notes for people who don't want to read:

• Reduces cancerous tumor growth, reduces symptoms of Tourette's, reduces amount of and effect of seizures, very effective in treating migraines (which, if legalized in my state right now, I would totally try it any time I got one of my rare migraines), extremely effective for glaucoma treatment, good for multiple sclerosis, ADD, ADHD, IBS and Crohn's by stopping the nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, effective in preventing Alzheimer's, and ladies, it even treats the cramps and discomfort from PMS.

In the above thing, it was recommended to eat in a salad or drinking the juice, because heat destroys the enzymes and nutrients in plants.

Politics shouldn't be a subject for discussion on a world wide forum.

It shouldn't, but this is more of an opinion thread.

If we're going with the moral and ethical route...

Quick summary: She had seizures that lasted from two to four hours. They gave her marijuana LOW IN THE PSYCHOACTIVE COMPONENT. Turns out, her seizures mostly stopped.

If you want a visual response, just watch this video:

Not legalized in Minnesota, but should be.
I’ve used marijuana to help reduce stress, depression, insomnia and anxiety.
Just one of the many reasons why it should be legalized:
Marijuana can be used for many medical ailments. Marijuana can be more a more effective treatment for cancer patients than other drugs, a few include: lung cancer, breast cancer, brain cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer. There have been studies shown that marijuana does not cause lung cancer, it can help slow invasion of cancer cells, and it can help prevent tumor growth in some cancers such as breast cancer. It also reduces symptoms such as vomiting and nausea, and can act as a safe sleep aid, especially for those suffering from chronic pain or muscle spasms. It can also help patients stimulate their appetite whether it’s from cancers connected to anorexia or patients that lose appetite from other diseases, for example, HIV/AIDS. It’s not a poison; too much THC will not kill you. There has not been a single death caused by marijuana overdose.

So, I think it should be legalized, its used for medicine purposes around here.

I use to be one of those people who thought it was wrong and anybody who did it was stupid.. then when I was going through a really tough time in life, had a lot of anxiety issues. I was working with this group of guys who were clearly potheads and didn't hide the fact that they were, were all like 'Try it, it will help with your anxiety and stuff' so I refused.

Than one day the opportunity came up and I did try it, and I really liked how it made me feel. I liked that it eased the anxiety and just made me chill out a bit. I still smoke it now and again with my best friend. Just special occasions. I see nothing wrong with it.

 

[Stevey Queen]

I'm all for legalizing it but I never done it and it's not legal here in Florida. I might try it if I ever get to move to Colorado, which is legal there. But I probably won't like it or do it often. I don't like the smell.

 

[Mino]

It shouldn't be legalized IMO. I haven't tried it. And I don't live in a country where its legal.

There is only one country where it is legal, and that only started this month.

 

[Stacie]

Live in BC, never tried. I think legalizing it would be beneficial though.

My boyfriend lives in California and he can walk around the block smoking it without anyone batting an eye; Was a strange experience, haha.

 

[M O L K O]

I have personal issues with it but I don't mind people using it. Honestly people are going to use it either way, why not make it way to create jobs and strengthen the economy.

 

[KCourtnee]

No I've never even heard of it. Is it a type of liquor?

 

[ThomasNLD]

I live in Holland and its condoned here, but I never used it. I believe it should be further legalized, so there can be safer ways of producing the marijuana. I don`t even smoke in honesty, never did. I could try it in a cake or brownie, but I`m told you won't even taste it, just live through the effect. I dunno, it doesn`t appeal to me I guess. I have been to coffeeshops, I must say I do like the places, but only my friend used some marijuana. And because they serve drugs, you can`t even get a beer there! Bummer.

I`m more an alcohol fan myself.

 

[Evy J]

legalizing it would be cool i mean people are more chill and weed can't kill you what so ever unless you're allergic to cannibus like honestly i use it and it's cool not dangerous
