    Live life to the full, you gotta try everything. The old mature men that think weed should be illegal tend to be the loosers that got the crap beaten out of them at school! :)

    OK, I smoke it like 2 or 3 times a month in social settings. Don't think that does me harm. But I know people who make it a life style. Some can handle it, others are being affected by it. I really don't know to what extent people should be governed. I think no one should smoke anything period but then again I just put out a cigarette. Life is not that easy that simple solutions can come up and take care of the bigger problem which is that people feel a need to medicate themselves in the first place.

    I think the whole debate over dope is a bit of a joke when you have legal party pills that are killing kids and P which is destroying plenty of lives - and damn quickly.

    down here

    • we've legalised prostitution - and boy now we have bigger problems
    • lowered the drinking age - and now we have a more kids killing themselves on the roads etc in drinking related accidents
    The old argument that legalising it will take control from the gangs is utter bull****. It just makes it harder for kids to decide whats going to be ok and what isn't - because the whole lot f**** with your head - it's just how much and how quickly.

    Cheers! hic!

    You know what, I agree with everything you've just said. I just didn't want to look like the asshole that spoils the party for others.

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention, the Government want to reduce the age for consent to 12!

    Provided your sexual partner is no more than 2 years older or younger than you.

    Because 12 year olds never get manipulated by their peers or anything.

    Reminds me of the old saying...

    I AGREE that it is not good having drunk kids roaming the streets.
    However I think that if they want to get wrecked then they can suffer the after-effects.

    At the end of the day it comes down to responsibility...i think everything is ok in moderation. If kids havent been brought up to be responsible then they need professional help. (or to be shot LOL)

    Maybe but we had a kid doing 200ks round a corner sending a text message who killed himself and 4 mates, 1 lived to tell the story. Dunno if their parents feel quite the same.

    I don't know if I want it to be legal or not. I don't know enough about the effects it would have on society (can't get much worse :rolleyes: ).

    Weed is bad for your lungs, BTW. If you want to do an experiment, take a hit and exhale onto a rope...and watch it turn BLACK!

    There are more than 400 known chemicals in marijuana. A single joint contains four times as much cancer-causing tar as a filtered cigarette.

    Ok, so far a great Zappa quote and a classic goverment propaganda flick have failed to be recognized.

    I'm either too old or there are no merican's here?

    Either a person has a addictive personality or they don't

    If they have an addictive personality, then they will be screwed up any addictive substance be it legal or not.

    The country is full of normal successful people that on the weekend once in awhile smoke pot, take Extasy, snort coke etc. The president has gotten high, along with the majority of adult americans at least once.

    If someone can't take care of themselves because they smoke pot then most likely that person is a sad sack anyway.

    It costs around $30,000 a year to house someone in prison and there are thousands of pot and other drug offenders in prison. If you think that its worth it to spend $30,000 a year of our tax moeny to keep some stoner off the street then you are retarded.

    I agree it should be decriminalized. It should be treated like alcohol I guess.

    I would just be worried about the effect that would have on kids.

    so before you can buy you have to have a personality test, be told if you are at risk and counselled. I can just see it!

    That's the parents problem. If they do their job, it's a non issue. PEROID

    kids can easily kill themsleves with many things, but with proper supervision they don't.

    What bleeding heart bullshit. Mention kids and it's a social issue?

    How about you are a losuy parent and don't blame other people instead?

    People play politically correct at the expense of common sense. I'm sorry, I refuse to act dumb just to go along with the crowd.

    P.S. You and them are used as general terms. It don't mean Rob.
