legalizing weed in california ?
 
hey people do you think they should make weed legal in california,yes or no ?and do you think it will help the budget crisis? whats your opinion.

Atakicat 05-06-2009 06:18 PM

As for legalization or not, I'm undecided... But as a tax base, it would be a HUGE payoff for the government. I would imagine they would tax it like cigarettes or alcohol, And I'm sure their sales would be through the roof.

legalizing weed
 
thats true.but still if it gets legalized there will probably be under age use like with alcohole .dont u think atakicat?

Compaqmac321 05-06-2009 06:27 PM

thats true....what would the legal use age be anyways
just to be clear this probably ISNT going to happen, this has been in talks to be legal since i was in primary school, so its not going to happen, if anything, taxing it would actually be to hard to do.
plus ANYBODY could just grow there own like they do now.

there already is....people will do it whether its legal or not

Atakicat 05-06-2009 06:30 PM

True, there would be underage use..But that's common now, while it's still illegal.


Yes, what Seph said ^^

MMM 05-06-2009 06:30 PM

so very true. they could plant it in their front yard as a decoration too, cuz it wouldnt be illegal haha

Pexster 05-06-2009 06:32 PM

I rather not do it. I want to be clean! *shines* haha

But Umm....they are only making it legal because California is in debt. No suprise there. -_-

yup
my ex gf is dutch, she said in holland its use isnt that popular amongst them
and the legal drinking age is low, so you hardly hear about younger ppl getting in accidents and such
BUT
ppl ride bikes alot of there so im not sure whether its cus the use is low or the use of cars is low

animefan78 05-06-2009 06:34 PM

yup practically every lawn will have weed growing

shit i have no urge to smoke green, but hell id grow it too
why the hell not, and sell it! its legal right?
id have all kinds of weed, the best on the planet, and be rich, and never even smoke it.
they'd probably put laws on that though

animefan78 05-06-2009 06:37 PM

yup u could do that too ,but i wouldnt

Pexster 05-06-2009 06:46 PM

You guys are crazy, why would you ever do that?!?!?.....nvm *leaves thread*

excuse me?
whats so crazy about making money legally?
theres nothing crazy about that
at all
its only crazy cause its illegal
if selling alcohol was illegal thatd be crazy too

MMM 05-06-2009 06:54 PM

If marijuana were legalized you would not be able to grow it in your yard. Just like cough medicine and alcohol is legal, but that doesn't mean you are allowed to make your own.

animefan78 05-06-2009 06:56 PM

yeah u got a point there

Compaqmac321 05-06-2009 06:56 PM

yup!
thats why i said they would probably put laws against it

Pexster 05-06-2009 06:59 PM

I can't believe they actually let this conversation have it's own thread. It's really nonsense.....

animefan78 05-06-2009 07:00 PM

yup.theres alot of good points and views on this subject.

Kyousuke 05-06-2009 07:52 PM

int he current state of the economy its the right move to make. taxing marijuana will bring in a large revenue for the state of california. most people will find this hard to deal with but living in these times doesnt come with hard decisions. but what most people dont understand is that marijuana is not bad. its just seen that way now. it was made illegal by a paper company who seen its use in making raw materials from it cheaper and better. they made it illegal to protect their interests. if im wrong about this feel free to correct me

Compaqmac321 05-06-2009 07:56 PM

i know a kids thats been smoking weed since he was 13 daily and he graduated at the top of his class....i dont know any ppl that smoke it and are just dumb idiots like what u see on tv.the ppl that are idiots dnt need to smoke to be one..the commercials they put out arent true to what its really like..its just how they make it look. it really just puts u in relax mode pending on who u are
i wont do it cus i dont smoke period...i like to work out so it would mess me up on my circuit training

Compaqmac321 05-06-2009 08:08 PM

in the words of george carlin, "the world is filled with a few winners and a whole lot of losers." it depends on who is smoking it. im an artist , so ill smoke it once in a while to get creative. my aunt is an artist as well and she smokes it for the same purposes. she makes some really killer jewelry. but if you smoke it for no real purpose than to get high and waste time then of course youre going to get THOSE people. but even so everyone has their own drug. coffee, aspirin, sugar, etc. you can say its not a drug, but if you require it for the jolt it gives you, like energy drinks , then it is a drug and you cant say im not addicted to it if you require it everyday.

Yea because making a cough medicine is like growing a plant. And you can make wine by yourself, not a big deal.

alanX 05-06-2009 08:55 PM

My good friends....
Weed is legal in California. However, it is against federal law, and federal law overrules state law.

Legalized in what way? Prescribed for people with health problems or just for people to smoke because they want to get high?

reptilesandsamurai 05-06-2009 09:29 PM

I'm unmotivated enough and don't need any help. But if people want to smoke someweed that's fine with me. I don't buy that crap of it being a gateway drug. Those that do move onto harder drugs would have found them anyway.
