$1 fine for marijuana possession. Hopefully they can get this done.

I have ZERO intention to argue with those who want it illegal. I just want to tell my story.

I have smoked weed since I was 15. I am currently 32 & am the president of my company, which I was promoted to this le 1 1/2 years ago. I used to smoke every day & have no desire to do that anymore, but with the stress that I am under being a broker, it helps. I smoke 3-4 time a week. don't wake & bake or work stoned, but I smoke on "my time." I never graduated college. I just worked hard & flew under the radar with my smoking. I passed drug tests with "cover ups", but the one thing remained. I WORKED HARD & still do. I have watched many friends get busted & even friends that delt go to jail/prison. I even had my place raided once, but they luckily found nothing.

I am a firm believer in MJ for recreational & especially medicinal use. I have watched several people I know suffer & die from cancer & wished they had the option at the time. I currently know 1 person who is using MJ for medicinal use & is working quite well for them. It's not for everyone, but neither is alcohol. So legalize it already.

[MannyIsGod]

If people would act lawfully just because it was the right thing to do, would there be a need for courts and prison sentences?

Not to mention that your idea of the right thing to do is different than my idea of what the right thing to do is. For that matter, I'm pretty sure I've never see scripture that says Jesus Christ arguing for prohibition of marijuana.

Don't worry dude. You don't need marijuana. We can alwyas prescribe you Zoloft or Xanax. That would be a far better situation.

It was really grape juice.

[Extra Stout]

The prohibition of marijuana in contemporary American society has a lot of parallels with the prohibition of alcohol in the America of the 1920's. Among the parallels are its utter lack of effectiveness, and the boon it gives to organized crime.

there's a decent do entary that I watched recently which was of course the normal cheerleader for weed and it's nonharmful ways....

however, it did bring up a point I never thought of before: we will never fully have weed legal in the states....at least for a long while. this is why we have such a big movement of "medical marijuana".

Think of everyone who has gone to jail...for days, months, weeks, years for marijuana. after decades and decades of hard law punishment, how are we supposed to suddenly do a 180 degree turnaround and have our govt say "oh yah, about that weed thing...it's ok now...sorry..."

It will slowly be decriminalized or used as medical marijuana for the next 25-30 years until everyone who has been locked up is in their golden years, or dead, and cannot sue any state or local govt for their previous hardships or downfalls due to being arrested for this drug.

this is why pot will never be "legal" for a long time.

Although I disagree with many of her points....
Angel_luv stood her ground and traded replies with the best the Club has to offer and did so without pulling Tpark/johnsmith/koriwhat meltdowns, I think she deserves credit!

Well I think it is hypocritical to fine people a dollar for doing it.

Either something is illegal and worth fining people over or it isn't. And if somethng is illegal then people should be fined substancially for doing it- every time.

By fining people only a dollar, they are basically okaying usage of marijuana without coming right out and fully legalizing it. That is a double standard, one I find to be unacceptable.

Do you agree about it being a double standard?

I believe that there are federal ramifications if they completely decriminalize it, therefore keep it a criminal offense, but quit wasting resources on such an idiot law (oh and I don't smoke, I have, but really don't like it at all, but I dont care if anyone else does).

[Drachen]

Why not fast food? Because it has not harmed you? It has harmed countless families and killed more people than marijuana with obesity becoming a major, major problem.

If you are for things that hurt people being illegal, you must be for fast food as well. Food is more addictive than marijuana.

Yes but marijuana is a gateway to food. Do you want that on your conscience?

Dubya was right! Weed is a gateway drug. It leads to more dangerous substance abuse, like 89 cent cheesy double beef burritos.

Lets play a game. One of these pictures comes from God's Earth and the other is man made. Which is it?

One is legal and one is not, which is it?

One is causing a major health crisis and kills more people than the other, which is it?

I like a_l, but actually all she did was repeatedly state her position without answering or responding to several points made in the thread.

So many great arguments and yet marijuana is still illegal. =(

Every person who is denied the legitimate medical use of marijuana is someone your ignorance harms. I feel that instead of feeling like you owe it to the world to voice your opinion you should take the stance that you owe it to the world to first LEARN about the subjects you plan on voice your opinion on. What good is an opinion that's based on ignorance?

Very well said!! I know when I was going through chemotherapy and all that horribleness that came with cancer, it would have been nice to have some marijuana to help with all the side affects. But I wasn't allowed to try something that would make me feel much better because it's illegal. Yet I could go out and get drunk or smoke after treatment. I don't understand how something so poisonous and toxic as alcohol/tobacco can be okay, but not marijuana, that is a plant that God put on the earth. People that think marijuana is a horrible drug are "brainwashed" by the government. You need to stop being so closed-minded about it and realize the healing properties marijuana has! Argh!!!!

[iggypop123]

i feel this way. marijuana for medical purposes great! for personal use no. the thing is though allow the medical use and people are going to exploit it that way and use it anyways ruining it for the people who NEED it not just want it to use it for their leisure

[Lance]

i feel this way. marijuana for for personal use no.

Angel I think you married the wrong dude!

[Tenacious D]

i feel this way. marijuana for personal use no.

Are you really that much of a wet blanket? Are you saying Jim Morrison,John Lennon,Jimmy Hendricks,Bill Mahr,Willy Nelson,etc....need to have Cancer to relax and enjoy a nice bong hit? I bet you would have been a popular dude at Woodstock. I wonder how many artist on your Ipod are smoke free and if not are you willing to take them off your music list.
