Never smoked weed. Should it be illegal?

Weed is for babies. People over here try it when they're 16, and than decide that it's better to have a few beers.

Like I said: weed is for babies.

also weed wont make you hung over or gain weight

I can say though, that I have seen first hand the impacts of this "victimless crime" in our neighbors to the south. You might wonder where all the refugee kids are coming from...well, the countries that have been torn apart by narco gangs who want to serve your drug needs. So...victimless? No, not really. Maybe not in your house, or your hood, but somewhere.

Trafficking is certainly not victimless. Trafficking and the associated evils are entirely a product of the prohibition however.

Just to be clear.... do you think weed is for babies?

With drugs such as coke, narco gangs control the methods of production. Not many coca plants in the US but a buttload of cocaine. This mismatch is why there is a price for it. The desirability of the product is why the market is so dependable, and the mania for making the raw ingredients illegal is why the price is so high.

With weed, once decriminalised, everyone has access to the methods of production. Outdoors, you need only plant the seed at the right time in the right climate, probably a few to make up for seedlings lost to foraging animals etc. although people like to complicate things, weed is one pof the easiest plants to grow you can possibly find. Depending on strain it reached maturity in 2-3 months if cultivated indoors.

It's worth mentioning that Mexican brick weed (low-grade weed compressed into bricks for shipping) is a low-cost, low risk cash cow for narco gangs to further their other ventires into drugs of addiction such as coke and meth. I think both of them should be restricted. Weed should not. There are many shades of gray in this debate.

Just for the record, and this will anger all the libertarians but I am completely against the recreational use of pot for babies. I don't care if the libertarian parents don't want the state to decide what their babies can or cannot do.It should be illegal.

Funny. I went camping this Summer with my most successful friend and he said pretty much the same thing. "I really enjoyed smoking weed when I was younger, but who has the time for that sh!t anymore?"

A big ol' J by the campfire would have been the perfect time.

That's because it's ILLEGAL. Legalize its production and sale in the US and the drug gangs to the south go away.

Imagine how bad income inequality will become with a bunch of youth content to sit around doing nothing by smoking, laughing and listening to music. Pot kills your drive and makes you useless.

Hey! I am the owner of 420 Xperience in Colorado. The main problem with legalizing weed is all the paperwork you have to deal with and licensing. I think it would cut down on some of the bad dealers who will sell some fake product with their weed to keep their costs down to get a higher profit.

I know I do it with my weed at my shop. One time for fun I didn't even have weed at all in my roaches that I gave to customers, I did this just for fun. They all were acting like they were high and it wass funny AF. I think they were just trying to be cool for their friends. Anyways if you live in Colorado go onto YP and look us up and I will give you a 1% discount on your Xperience (trademark).

Thanks brahs!

420 ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

P.S. and to the kids: drop out of school and smoke weed!

Yep, alcohol was on his list, me having abusive drunk parents all the time in my life never once negatively affected me... thanks for that all coming statement... just remember that speaking in absolutes almost always makes you look dumb.

Exactly. If you smoke around me that is effecting my right to breathe clean air. If you smoke around your kids they should be taken away for child abuse.

Consistency test. How about perfume, carpeting, air "fresheners" and other indoor pollution? Good luck with all that...

Ok, I'll just assume you were a loser for having smoked weed.

So I assume you'd rather legalize it so we can grow it here and not go through them? Okay good then.
