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.

Yeah, the last time I checked, the Netherlands was falling apart.

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

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?

For someone with the name of Reality Check, you truly have your head in the clouds.

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

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.

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

I lived in Colorado for years, including the years when anyone could get a medical card if they paid $100.

First, weed is safer than alcohol, many prescription drugs and is certainly safer than being overweight. If you want to preach about the dangers of drugs you'd better be against alcohol, many prescription drugs and fatties.

Second, there was no increase in crime as the weed industry exploded in Colorado. It just didn't happen. As far as I know, it hasn't happened in any of the places that have legalized it. If you want to talk about the associated crime/gateway drugs that go along with increased marijuana consumption; you'll need to have some compelling evidence that a link even exists. If you want to argue some more vague concept of 'It is immoral' you're going to have to have some awfully convincing argument that would need to include defining what is and isn't immoral. It'll be hard to convince people that something they enjoy that harms nobody else, is immoral. It will also be very hard to give a definition of immoral that would make weed immoral while not making a whole lot of other, generally acceptable, things immoral too. But I'd love to hear it.

At the end of the day, the people who are going to have a weed brownie are going to be exactly like people who have a few beers after work. Most of them are *already* recreational drug users and they'll be trading a MORE dangerous drug for weed...or they'll already be weed users and now they've just got less legal concerns (I say less because there are still legal issues at the federal level)

Ah, but you're forgetting the victory for natural selection! Whilst the predispositioned failures of society find another way to kill brain cells (and I'm referring to habitual addictive wasters here, not recreational users who lead productive lives), perhaps the increased paranoia, schizophrenia and general uselessness will kill off a few (through correlated activities) and make it harder for others to procreate. :pac:

Whilst I merely dabbled in my teens and early 20's, as well as many others, I am happy to see freedom of choice available. It's an age old debate, but it's no worse than ciggarettes and alcohol, and as for a "gateway" drug, I suspect that those who end up being addicted to hardcore drugs would have found their way there all by themselves, with or without marijuana!

Take it, have fun, Tax it, make money. Win, win.

Federal Law supercedes state law, so I'd imagine this will be veto'd.

Wow, went to read up on this as I was sceptical, but I read this article and it only gets better...Massachusetts has voted on euthanasia, which is so far too close to call, Maryland and Washington hop on the gay marriage rainbow and Maryland relaxes laws on illegal immegrant children, giving them rights to education...and there's a two time elected black president....I don't know what fu*ked up, parallel universe I woke up in this morning, but I like it!

I think for weed to be federally legalised it might take non-violent mass disobedience to highlight the absurdity/immorality of it being illegal.

The medical use hasn't been vetoed so I don't think it is possible to veto this. They might try to enforce it sporadically like they do with the medical dispensaries but that's just a token measure. It'll be much harder to do now too as it will be far more widespread.
