Legalize Marijuana? Stimulate the economy?

Seriously, its not gonna become legal in my lifetime, unless the Green Party get in lol.

That only applies if you have schizefreic tendacnices anyway. There is no research that shows cannabis to cause such tendancies, only to make them worse if they already exist.

That website takes quatoes from legitamite studies and then prints them alongside wildly inacurate claims such as increased levels of dopemine causing schizophrenia, it's a genetic condition that can be shaped and bought on by the enviroment but only if you carry the genes for it.

So no cannabis hasn't been lincked too mental illness, not in any respected peer-reviewed scientific journasls anyway. It's been lincked to bringing on and increasing the sevarity for one mental illnes that people need to already ne pre-desposed too.

And BB talking from you're predjeduice and from experience are the same bloody thing. Where else is you're predjudice going to come from if not you're experience?

Legalising mj will do f**k all to stimulate the economy, sorry but that is just ridiculous. First it is easy to grow at home, thus being un-taxable. Secondly what exactly do you mean by stimulate? How? Tax revenue on its own isn't enough to get an economy going again, and the amounts will be too little and too late.

Even if mj should be legalised it has nothing to do with this economic downturn, get real.

It would definatly stimulate the economy a little, it would provide some jobs and that's nothing to stick you're nose up at right now.

I mean it's not going to life the world out of ressesion but if it puts a few thousand people in steady employment and strips profits from criminal gangs then that's a gotta be a good thing.

"All the people you know" does not constitute any reliable sort of group, nor is your observation qualified to determine whether someone is unstable or not. I know people who can consume alcohol intelligently, and those who abuse it; marijuana is no different.

I don't think it's a coincadence that all the people that I know that smoke pot seem mentally stable.

I'm starting to think that maybe you just don't like some people you know who smoke pot, you're aurguments against it aren't very rational.

Yeah, I used to think the people around me were just normal when I was smoking it too. But now from the outside, I can see it differently. Na, the guys I know are just idiots. They also treat coke like its some harmless thing too. Like the people who i'm talking about, you couldn't just have them round your house to watch a movie or something, they're so fidgity. Or I couldn't take them to a party etc at my golf/tennis club. I'd be ashamed to been seen with them. And I don't really care what people think. They are just in a different world. Thats the best way I can put it really. Probably won't make any sense.

Other people been talking about the same thing pretty much, thought nor just about cannabis.

It's a good article, goes onto show that just about everyone who's ever done a serious study into prohibition has reached the same conclusions. It doesn't work.
