Decriminalize Marijuana?

Post Reply New Topic

What are your thoughts on this issue? I vote for decriminilization.

Legalization.

Although it would seriously hurt the petrochemical/synthetic fibre/pharmaceutical industries so unfortunately it wont be happening for the foreseeable future.

I believe it will happen soon. Are you aware that marijuana was an important contribution to the renaissance era? Source=Documentary"The magic weed - history of cannibas sativa"

I was against it for a long time, but now I'm in favor of the government taking control of the marijuana racket, sort of how they replaced the Numbers game with the Lottery back in the prohibition era, which completely wiped out Numbers.

Legalizing marijuana won't wipe out potheads, of course, but it might make a huge dent in the drug trade and profitibility thereof. Many people who won't touch the harder stuff will gladly smoke a blunt.

Richard Feynman was a smoker according to what I have read.

"The application of quantum mechanics to fields rather than single particles, resulting in what are known as quantum field theories, began in 1927. Early contributors included Dirac, Wolfgang Pauli, Weisskopf, and Jordan. This line of research culminated in the 1940s in the quantum electrodynamics (QED) of Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson, Julian Schwinger, and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, for which Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga received the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics. QED, a quantum theory of electrons, positrons, and the electromagnetic field, was the first satisfactory quantum description of a physical field and of the creation and annihilation of quantum particles."

Legalize psychadelics.

When it comes to Psychedlics i am in the middle, they can be extremely beneficial, or extremely detrimental. If they were decriminalized I think that they should only be taken in a controlled environment with trained professionals. Some people come back with astounding insight. Others never return.

I think most drugs ought to be free and available for all adult, menthal healthy people. I consider most aspies menthal healthy, then AS is a state of mind, not a disease. Thomas Jefferson was an opium cultivator, by the way.

Yes I say if you can grow it in your backyard it should be legal to grow and use for your own consumption I'd put magic mushrooms in that catagory also

Decriminalize. The stuff's so much safer than alcohol and really, the links with schizophrenia for the most part are cause and effect getting switched (ie. self-medication not panning out). Yeah, it could be that it may lower some people's natural antipsychotic levels via just pushing the bodies need to produce it down, it seems plausible, but still those people would know who they were probably and not like it as much - things that tend not to do well for your chemistry tend to feel like a bad fit and not give you much fun. At least people don't start throwing haymakers at eachother in coffeeshops or crash into the dividers on the highway.

I think it should be legal for all. Mandatory for some. Kidding on that last bit.

Does it not seem odd that with all this concensus it is still prohibited? It is my opinion that the pharmaceutical industry is definitely acruing a profit from this state of things. Not only from their substitutions but from urinalysis as well. If I were a pharmaceutical company I know Id own a few toxicology labs.
