Well, I wasn't aware the forum had switched to having just one Adminstrator and no Moderators...and that you were the the guy elected to have the one and only allowed opinion. Maybe I'll just send OKCJeeper a nice message about how I think it stinks that a Freaking Weed Thread has been allowed to stay on my favorite Jeep Cherokee Forum for as long as it has. The only valid use ever for using Weed is for Terminal people who are in constant pain. People who use it for recreational use are just baking their brains and lungs for no good reason. Period!! There, now you can blast me for that opinion, too. You will only do because you know what I'm saying is true.

 

Not to be a douche, But pretty sure this was a open opinion thread for, against, or dont care. And then to tell someone to play in traffic is kinda rude but just my opinion.

 

Hahaha i love this forum!

 

Just a heads up, this thread was locked and removed once. The staff here discussed and agrees we would let this thread stay.

He posted on the first page.

 

Everyones opinions are valid and welcome here, as long as they are kept civil.

Suggesting someone go play in traffic is far from the attitude or atmosphere we welcome. Please keep that in mind.

 

Oh wow, my bad. Really wasn't trying to tell anyone to literally play in traffic. I'm on an iPhone, I was copying and pasting and not paying attention, that wasn't supposed to be pasted in the front of the paragraph. It was supposed to be pasted by the whole traffic kills part. Either way, My bad. Sorry I hurt your feelings..

 

There are 33 known carcinogens in marijuana SMOKE. Not cannibas itself. And as far as smokers of marijuana being more liable to get cancer, there has never been a single study in which the results showed that casual smokers, or even heavy, long term smokers of marijuana are any more likely to get cancer than the average non-smoker.

Yes you are correct in the use for marijuana you are speaking of. However that is one of many. There are many other medical benefits of marijuana.

If you would like to see them, look here.

This^^ is true. But not just for rats, marijuana has been found to fight the progression of cancerous brain tumors, as well as shrink them in size.

Actually, meth is known to cause cancer along with multiple other bad bad things... i dont recommend smoking meth.

 

me too!!

I will agree with Buck, I dont and never have smoked anything. But it happens on a daily basis with hundreds of thousands in washington alone anyways, why shouldnt the state get paid for something everyone is doing anyways rather than shell out money to try and stop it and wasting man hours and public services.

Another point some may not have thought about is, I wonder with the legalization if it will push out alot of the gangs/scum/lowlifes that make a living off selling marijuana here. what are they going to do when there income is bascally taken away, the easy solution would b to move to a non legal state. Hopefully it doesnt have adverse affects and causes these same people to sell other drugs. I guess thats a guessing game.

Also, im not saying everyone who sells it is a lowlife scumbag but lets face it, there are way more than not! Many gangs and such are funded by this drug so maybe they will move on when the drug is no longer a high paying opportunity for them.

 

I remember a friend of the family saying once " I've been smoking pot everyday for the past 15 years and I ain't hooked."
I think eventually this legalization will fall under the everyone's to high to fight back so we can do all we have been wanting to kinda government.

 

Good points Blue, Another question I had was is it legal to grow at home? If not... how are they going to stop the black market people from growing and selling tax free pot? I still think too that the federal government will step in and over ride what the voters voted in.

 

As it is now, with states that are medically legal, you can grow or get it from a coop/dispensary. If it goes fully federal legal, there will probably be a ban on growing/cultivating just like tobacco. Alcohol has same prohibitions. It's against the law to bootleg/moonshine because the govt. isn't getting their share. People will still find a way to make their money illegally, just like with everything else. Playing poker for cash money is illegal except for certain places they allow.

 

Well I still think if obama was smart... He would legalize pot federally, Tax it, and BOOM the US Debt would turn around. The only thing I can agree with on the against side is... How can you effectively test impaired drivers to know if there over a legal limit.

 

drugs are bad mmkay!

 

it is illegal to buy and sell, but not to possess.

don't know why the majority smoke it, you get twice as high if you eat it (ie, brownies).

smoking it is however a casual ...ummm...forgot what i was gonna say....

 

Yes. Three counties in California dubbed the "emerald triangle" produce over $3billion a year. 3 counties, and California is about to go bankrupt. Makes absolutely no sense to me. I agree the driving issue would need to be addressed, the do have some sorts of tests that will show if you have recently smoked, but I don't know much about it, other than its not being used.
