    <quote>I tried some of the 10x extract one time, and that was the most insane feeling I've ever felt off any mind-altering substance. I'm so surprised it hasn't been illegalized by now. If anyone out there is looking to try this, BE CAREFUL. And have a baby-sitter.</quote>

    LMAO :D Yeah, defintely worth trying. Shame they'rve been cracking down - it's not as liberal as it was a few years ago. Not sure on the details - something like you can't serve food in a coffee shop and allow smoking, maybe a restriction on new ones opening? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything on it.

    But you can defintely still go and smoke a few spliffs and giggle your arse off for a day, by day two you get used to it and it's not so hilarious.

    IMO it should defintiely be legal, all the arguments against hinge on the fact people might abuse it or that it generally has detrimental effects. But you can't stop people abusing things - that's fundamental to humanity. Most if not all people have a vice. And a man's detrimental vices are his own concern!

    The nannying of the state patronises its citizens and frankly is proven not to work. There are 1001 available vices or addictions to choose from, some illegal some not - but anything which can be deemed a vice or addiction obviously needs help, not criminalization. And the idea that high numbers of people are suddenly going to become heavier weed smokers as a result of legalisation is pretty absurd, given all the alternatives which most people are already resisting. Besides, if you wanted to smoke the stuff, most people can get it already. Most people (in the uk) who would try weed already have.

    If it were legalized I accept that there may be an increase in the amount of smoking going on, and more people who have problems with it. But in my view that would be tiny compared with the potential benefits.

    My 2 cents :D

    I remember back in high school it was easier for us to go and get a bag then it was for us to score some alcohol... that proves that it's going to be abused no matter of legality, even compared to something that is legal.

    I been addicted to this before. 5 years ago i think when i was in my high school days and i even sell this for fun only. We smoked 10 sticks of it per day and our day not complete without it.

    I stopped when i almost gone insane one day. Coz I've been hallucinating and everything i see is like an animal and then laugh at it.

    Thank god i stopped smoking that thing. It should not be legalize

    It was exactly the same for us. Alcohol took a lot of planning. Weed required a walk down the street, and even then there were multiple people. We could actually shop around for the best deal. And no, I didn't live in the ghetto.

    Alcohol = dangerous to your health
    Alcohol = legal

    Weed = not dangerous to your health
    Weed = illegal


    hmmm...?

    Salvia D 'there are many Salvias'

    It is not legal everywhere and if law makers have their way it will be illegal in all of the US sooner, rather than later.

    Pot should be legal, anything can be abused. I've witnessed more brain wasting from video game players than pot smokers :rolleyes:

    I also would put up my build, physical shape against damn near anyone and I am an X HEAVY smoker.

    Try to find one person overdosing on marijuana. Just one.
    Now do the same for alcohol.

    Point very well taken!

    As for health effects, it is smoke, which is tar - which is bad for your lungs. However no one can smoke it as much as the average cigarette smoker, meaning you're not getting NEARLY as much abuse to your lungs as you would with tobacco, which is, legal.

    It should be legal and taxed heavily. People are going to smoke it. As long as it is illegal it is creating a criminal enterprise, just like Prohibition did.

    Kind of hard when the government refuses pretty much anyone to do a study don't you think?

    http://www.canorml.org/news/NIDABlocksVaporization .htm
    http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7176

    There are tons of stories of a continued shut down on any real studies. Even the few that have been done are almost always twisted to try to give the governments views, even then they fall short of what the 'dangers' are claimed.

    Several medical groups have also called for legalization for medical purposes such as
    http://www.nysna.org/advocacy/testimonies/med_marijuana.htm
    http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle...physicians_medical_marijuana_policy_statement

    Pot was used by our founding fathers, but you know lets continue to buy into reefer madness.
