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

not same to buy. since you don't know how they been growing it. and what kind of shit been added.

buying from the store is better, since the store suppliers have to fallow certain rules.

as for growing yourself, most people in Canada have been growing weed themselves. legal it is or not, we don't really give a flying fook. today, if you got the money for it, you buy it. if not you grow it. growing weed yourself is a wonderful hobby btw.

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.

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.
