Why not grow it yourself or buy it from someone who grows it? Much cheaper, same product.

one of the best ways to reason legalisation with some people (aside of course from the tax revenues).

well, there's another one. you can buy oil now, so you don't have to smoke it and the effect is all the same. it can even be cheaper to buy oil then actual weed flower. health-wise, oil is better.

You don't, but it's definitely a real thing that medical professionals treat. It's just that potheads don't normally go out and steal things to fund their habit.

And I thought that was frost smoke on all those Canadian postcards.

;)

That's a pants reason to legalize. The reason to legalize would be following a period of research finding that there's no reason to keep the ban.

Unfortunately, here in the US, we seem more interest in legalizing because a great number of people can't be bothered to respect the law rather than because research says that it's safe to do so.

As far as drugs go, pot is undoubtedly on the safe end of the spectrum, but the arguments about safety that people make typically relate to the relatively weak stuff that was smoked in the past, not the stronger stuff that's available these days.

I remember back in college the last several weeks of my junior year being lost to post. Oh wait, no I don't because those 3 weeks are more or less completely out of my memory because of the amount and quality of pot I was smoking.

I don't get how tax revenue can be an argument for legislation, but whatever floats peoples boat I guess.

We'll soon need a weed thread to counter the alcohol thread.

Not really, and I did say "with some people" - not you.
Are you a politician or tax revenue agent? No?

Even if people buy into it, it's still a terrible reason to legalize.

way too softcore

also, your avvy colors remind me of that scottish racist, sexist, xenophobic asswipe on here; might want to think o' changin' it

O_____o

I didnt know George Galloway had an account.

Why should it be illegal in the first place? You don't need a reason to legalize anything, the only thing you need a damn good reason for is when you wish to enforce your morality upon others with the law.

Just your friendly neighborhood libertarian.

They can take our milk, they can take our okay hand gesture, but they can never take our Vault Boy!

Edit: Meh, fudge it, they can have him. I'll switch to the original "vault boy" soon, the monopoly guy. Much cooler.

Do you think the OP had it in mind to start a discussion about drug legalization when he created this thread? :P

I love the unexpected turn of events though. It's pure gold, nobody could have foreseen it.
