Not if it is being grown legally, according to the rules, which states that the area where it is being grown has to be secure from minors (like a locked room or closet).

It is no different than kids "sampling" product from their parent's locked liquor cabinet. Why are you trying to make it so different?

Wait. Don't answer that. I know you are not here to learn.

We need personal responsibility, people, not a nanny government watching and telling us what we can do or not do in the privacy of our own homes!

Wow. Just wow. Millions of users, daily, 50 years, not one case, yet you cling to your sad belief. It is the longest long-term study we've ever had! You are just COMPLETELY closed-minded.

Sad indeed.

Well, as a liberal I believe that if you are an adult you should be allowed to make choices of what you want eat, drink, or smoke as long as you aren't hurting anyone else.
I smoked for years and quit. I rarely drink. I even more rarely ingest pot. I have never hurt another person while doing any of the above.

That argument goes both ways though.

considering no one has actually compiled data, its hard to claim "no one" has ever gotten cancer from it.

Why in God's earth did you peg progs with being pro-marijuana and cons as being pro tobacco?

Show me proof that marijuana causes cancer.

At least weed is useful and does something to you.

Cigarettes are a nasty stale stinky habit. Some people like the smell of weed.

I don't know anybody who loves the smell of cigarette smoke on their hands and clothes, much less their breath. This is why you see these nasty ass smokers throwing their lit butts out their car windows.

Why on earth not?

Has illegalizing marijuana been working?

You should smoke weed.

There is not ONE documented case out of hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

Wow, what does it take? Crazy, crazy, crazy. You folks that are trying to hang you hat on marijuana causing cancer are grasping at straws.

Are you saying that if ONE case did pop up somewhere, that it would somehow justify prohibition and all the deaths it causes every year???

Pot is a carcinogenic? Really? On the same level as cigs? Really? Where is THAT proven? You keep saying that, ignoring what other posters are saying about that. Repeating it won't make it so.

IRL, I could care less whether people light up a cig or weed in front of me, even though I don't partake in either.
Ah.....I think virtually every city in the country has outlawed smoking indoors, because society has deemed that it does "infringe" on others enjoyment. Plus smoking in a car with kids, in a house with kids, etc. What about smoking pot around people and kids? Would that not "infringe" on their enjoyment?

Apparently it was 5 years ago. If I dwelt on what anonymous dorks like myself wrote on a message board five years ago, then I am in desperate need of a life. This is just entertainment, what we write here, really isn't that important.
