Regulations don't do anything except restrict freedoms and put money into the greedy hands of politicians. That's all politicans do is pass regulations. Advertise, tell the truth, positive and negative. What we should do is crack down on deception and lies.
That sounds like an enormous amount of cracking down, especially when it comes to the false 'reefer madness' propaganda that's still so ingrained in so many people.
smoking grass is addictive. I think it should be legalized as it's a personal choice if you wish to use it but anyone that says marijuana can't be adictive is kidding themselves.
sincerly a former stoner
Just like sex, golf, football and many other things. And that's a good thing.
I'm conservative and I don't have a problem with legalizing it, as long as it's strictly regulated like alcohol (no smoking pot in openly in public, must be 21 to get it, strict laws about smoking pot & driving, no advertising, public health campaigns about its negative health effects, etc.)
Speaking as a conservative, I say don't legalize it. That would take the fun out of getting high. Can you imagine going to a government-run Pot Shop and using your credit card to buy weed from a state employee wearing a uniform? "I'll sell you this sensimilla as soon as you show some valid ID, sir." Big thrill.
Instead, simply decriminalize it. Keep it a little tricky and a little illicit, but take the cops and robbers part out of it. Most of all, keep it underground, where it belongs. Then the law enforcement folks can go after the hard drug traffickers instead of throwing people in prison for growing harmless herbs.
Pot is for giggles. Keep it naughty and make it cheap again. Don't go all legislative on it. Nothing would be more depressing than turning the phenomenon of getting harmlessly loaded over to the suits -- like everything else.
Because most all of the prisoners that kill or did violent acts are big pot users. Your creating a market that causes death around the world by narcos and distributers.
Just because you continue to repeat this over and over again in every thread about marijuana, it does not make it true.
