Weed Legalised in Two States!!!!!!!!

brosy

Congratulations to Americans on voting to legalise cannabis in Washington and Colorado.

A victory for all.


And well done to Obama as well

It's a step in the right direction.

I'm surprised it wasn't legalized in more.

Hande hoche!

Doritos sales to soar.

A victory for all? I'm sure the 47% who voted 'No' would disagree.

I really think there is likely to be a domino effect. Cash-strapped states are going to see it as a revenue stream and see that other states are making money off of it.

Sadly, that's the worst possible reason to do it. I mean, nevermind the rights of adults to make informed decisions about how to live their lives....let's just TAX IT because lord knows elected officials aren't going to sit idly by while their budgets are decreased.

Legalised for all or do you need medical reasons?

The divorce referendum held in Ireland in 1996 was won by 818,837 to 809,739.

And that result is also a victory for all.

For sale to anyone above the age of 21, I think.

Divorce is never a victory for anybody.

Considering it contravenes Federal Law, can Colorado and Washington go ahead and approve the sale of Marijuana straight away or will there be a stand-off?

Probably not, but it's certainly better than having to be stuck in an abusive marriage for the rest of your days.

The repercussions to society will be irreversible. It's not about not making them smoke or stopping people having their 'fun', it's about trying to keep some morals and sense of decency in a society which is rapidly falling apart. Some are too pig-headed to see it.

It's just another way of keeping the general population placid and unquestioning. Keep them doped up, they'll stumble around laughing away to themselves while the noose is tightening around the collective neck.

It may not seem it at the time but it's a victory for any child stuck in the midst of constantly warring partners.

the 'moral argument is a rather weak one at best, You are free to follow any moral code you wish, but do not expect me to follow your rules, any more than I expect you to view the world my way

so the consumption of weed should be linked to morals and a sense of decency? I think you have it backways who the pigheaded people are :rolleyes:

It will be interesting to see how this is implemented and how tightly regulated it is. Ultimately I can see it becoming legalised all across the United states which possibly means the UK and eventually Ireland too. Although thats a bit down the road yet

Fascinated to see how this pans out with the Federal vs State law!

I didnt know weed was dangerous. Can you point me in the direction of reputable scientific research please? I only ask out of interest I've searched most medical journals going and have found nothing

Another? What other dangerous drugs have they legalised, genuine question?

Sky King

What are the two states it's now legal in?

Hashish and herbal I presume?

I am surprised some of them managed to put the tick in the box let alone the correct box.

I'm surprised how someone who has a few pints of beer of a weekend is able to put the tick in the box let alone the correct box.......

See how that works?

Before people fall into the trap of arguing with this person (like I almost did) please be aware that their opinions are based purely on prodigious and have literally no scientific back up to support their claims. Despite you putting very objective and supportive arguments in front of them they will refuse to take a neutral stance on the issue.

I enjoy a good debate not the kind where people put their fingers in their ears and act like a child

I say this as a genuine answer but nearly every drug you can get including "over the counter" drugs are dangerous. but when taken appropriately they cause no lasting harm

Suryavarman

Weed hasn't been legalised in two states. As you have noticed, Barack Obama was re-elected which means he will continue to allow more drug busts than GWB ever did, no matter what state law says.

I wonder will Ming be moving to Washington or Colorado?

Funny how the people responsible for teaching morals and a "sense of decency" have done more to harm societies than a few stoners!

I would say Brian Cowen, Bertie Ahern, Mary Harney, Brian Lenihan, Willy O'Dea, etc, etc have done a lot more to wreck this country, decrease the standard of living and at the time encourage the consumerist society that got us where we are today... Ming just wants to grow a plant!

So where do you expect this moral leadership to come from, and why do you think that wouldn't happen just because some plant was legal or not?

You have a questionable understanding of what is moral or not. What's immoral is throwing peaceful people into a cell because they choose to smoke weed.

Keep them doped up, they'll stumble around laughing away to themselves while the noose is tightening around the collective neck.

Conspiracy theory forum here for that shite.

Then you could say the same about anything. Consuming too much water can kill you.

now consider this;

Its relatively easy to Overdose on water and get hyponatrunia when you compare the amounts required to OD on Paracetamol for example. And to really bolster my point it is nearly impossible to OD on weed to the point where it would harm you. The quantity required is just too big and its metabolised by the body too fast
