Legalize it for sure

ABSOLUTELY NOT! NO WAY!!!

I have two nephews that grew up without their dad because of drugs. Now my brother is trying to make it up to them now, a decade or two, too late. I had a cousin who took his own life at age 20 in 1979 because of drugs. He hung himself in the closet. My aunt had to cut him down.

I'm so sorry your family has had such a difficult time, ArtZ. I think almost all of us can identify with you on that level. But, I can almost guarantee the things that have happened to your family were not because of marijuana. Perhaps the harder drugs, but weed is very quiet, issues are not enhanced, the most you would do is eat yourself into a coma, or laugh yourself into a stupor. If it is laced with stronger stuff, such a thing can happen, but it is pretty rare. If you are prone to trying to get that elusive buzz, you might go for the stronger stuff. Legalizing weed wouldn't do anything to further or limit that from happening. If someone wants to get the big guns, they will, and the government's control of weed wouldn't stop them.

Here in Oregon, with a medical marijuana permit, one is licensed by the state to grow. You can have 6 large flowering adult plants, 13 smaller plants (under 1 foot), and can possess up to 24 ounces dried. the police, doctors, courts, etc all got together and rewrote the bill a couple years ago and it passed in a popular vote of the state.

you cracked me up bigtime bearfoot gibby...

Thanks Marty, I have been subjected the rants and raves of anti pot alarmists for years who start the day with their legal pain pills, chased by their legal muscle relaxers, then get home and drink their legal cocktails mixed with their legal antidepressants. I don't understand why when it comes to marijauna and hemp that they can't see clearly enough to "Legal Eyes" it.

That's quite a guarantee you offer there Sun&sand can you also offer one that will guarantee some pothead stoned out of his brains won't drive over my grandchildren at the bus stop?

After 30+ years in the medical field I can tell you that marijuana is by far less harmful to your body than alchohol. They're not even in the same ballpark.

seen plenty of both don't want either in my ballpark, thankyou!

Rykat, that' cool but when are you going to stop chasing that dragon?

So does this thread decide the pot smokers from the non??
