You Really Want It Legal?

there is more to it then just donating.. you can get yourself educated with your state and local marijuana laws or even bills that are being itroduced to legalize MMJ. You can volunteer for NORML and attend their meetings. You can go downtown and ask people to sign petitions to force your congress to legalize MMJ. There are more things to do then just donate money man

I may be mistaken, but isn't RIU against illegal trafficking or at least most of its members? I know many people are here to learn how to grow for themselves so they don't have to deal with a pushing dealer. I know some of the members grow and sell to dispensaries(sp?), which is pretty legitimate. I'm trying to figure out if most of the opponents of legalization in this thread are trolls, ignorant, or just plain stupid.

sounds like we have a snitch or cop on this thread

legalizing will icrease availablity to those of the legal age and will also decrease the price for theconsumer witch is always a plus. if it ever does become legal im still going to grow my own shit though.

I really don't see any negatives to it being legalized, but I would grow my own also.

legalizing marijuana properly thru taxation and regulation would put the black market out of business and put allot of us to work legally. By regulating it marijuana the price would eventually drop below the price of the black market marijuana. This would also (slowly but surely) help keep marijuana out of the hands of minors.

I agree with you and was actually going to say the same thing about how it could keep it out of reach from minors. However the opposing argument to that would most certainly be that legalizing it would just make it more readily available in general. It would take the "dealer" out of the picture who sells to anyone and instead puts in to the hands of a licensed distributor, but when I was to young to buy alcohol I still found ways to get a hold of it. Definitely less so then now though.

Well said greenearth. I sleep well at night knowing I haven't put a dime in a dealers pocket in 4 years. Their selfishness makes me

Wow that was NOT well said. Not sure, but if you're talking to me you got it wrong. I smoke buds because I enjoy it, not to be cool . There's nothing like burning after a long, hard day. Or any other time for that matter.

I beg to differ.

I believe a lot more people will become social pot smokers because it won't be against the law and it will be much cheaper.

A lot of people don't smoke Herb because they have been brainwashed into thinking its a bad drug. I used to believe the same until I started doing the research on it.

BTW Welcome to RIU MJK.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or if you are just trying to get a few people angry and generate some responses. Anyways it isn't even socially acceptable among most of my peers especially my coworkers, so I definitely don't do it because it is "cool".

Thanks We Love. I wish I had found you guys 4 years ago. The amount of info to be had here is amazing. I would have had a lot more "trial" and a lot less "error."

And I will keep growing. I can't help myself. I read somewhere years ago that smoking marijuana is not addictive but that growing it is. I couldn't agree more.

Growing is highly addictive... and easy

"When" they legalize it? Are you a prophet sent from the future? Also, exactly what James Bond said. You're just a pathetic little forum troll that somehow contradicts himself by mocking pot smokers, yet... aren't you one?

Legalize it!!! No questions

utbob said:

The end of making a couple million a year for throwing some seeds on the ground? I dunno but you got to admit there are some pretty hefty financial advantages for the shit being illegal. I would think most commercial growers would be strongly against legalization (except the ones already in prison).

I think they're trying to be realistic about the whole thing.

But rather than reading any rational discussion about what to do about people within the movement sabotaging it because they won't make any money if it's legal (just for instance) I guess I'm just going to read the same old same old.

What I'm shaking my head over is how you "legalize and tax" people seem to forget that TAXING IT WAS HOW THEY MADE IT ILLEGAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
