Don't legalize Weed!

So your thinking legal to grow, but not legal to sell?

Lately Ive been thinking, its my right to put whatever I want in my body, but I dont think society can handle drugs(hard drugs).

Hmm, but if we decriminalize, so its legal to have, but not legal, and not legal to sell, dont we still have the black market?

its decriminalised here in South Australia. You get a $300 fine for possession, just like a speeding ticket. And as you guessed the black market is alive and kicking.

We have something on the ballot in November....this is a little blip

Here’s the twist: these local initiatives won’t just include a lowest law-enforcement priority measure. They will also make it illegal for a city to cooperate with federal authorities in the prosecution of cannabis-related crimes. What’s more, such a law is legally binding.

so that feds can't fuck with us in WA if we pass this

Until they get a subpeana?

DECRIMINALIZE. Think about all the tobacco companies that would get involved and turn something so harmless into something so harmful.

How would big companies make cannabis harmful?

Decriminalization is a terrible idea.

It preserves the worst of the drug war while only marginally benefiting oridnary citizens, and it distracts from the most important issue for citizens, the simple freedom of owning your own body. If you can be fined and hassled for ingesting a harmless substance, then you have no freedom at all.
