I think it should be mandatory for all world leaders to smoke weed. The only thing they would be thinking of attacking is a bag of potato chips and a can of coke.

I remember back in the 80’s cops coming to my middle school and scaring the $*** out of me and the rest of my classmates about weed. At that moment I thought smoking it was going to turn me into a criminal and a rapist. The problem in the US is that they try to put hippy lettuce in the same category as other hard drugs. They did a survey in Holland and US few years back and found that fewer teenagers (per capita) in Holland have experimented with weed compared to teenagers in US.

Fleabassist1 I agree with you about 90% of the time but on this one I don’t see eye to eye.

I got a tiny package from the US if you know what I mean, and gave it to my Chinese friend who’s in the government. He still talks about it to this day. He said to me that it was one of the best days of his life and also said that if he could get it in China he would give up alcohol period and if all of Chinese leaders used it, China would be a free country.

I'm old and from the "old school" we always believed that if you smoked weed you would go out and kill people.

I was drunk once for three days on Gin & Tonic, I came home on the third day and dragged my wifes mother out into the driveway and stuck her left leg under my lawnmower.

Did USE, as in U-S-E go up? YUP! Now, tell me what is more addictive, Crack, Crystal Meth, and Heroin (you can even take your pick), or alchohol?


Please drive thru.

Like I said, you cannot legalize drugs that affect a person's chemistry in such a way that they become violent, such as crack and crystal meth. But, other drugs can be legalized. Legalization does not mean you can buy them at your local grocery. If the goal of legalization is to reduce the number of addicts, then obviously whatever form legalization takes has to have that in mind. For instance, an established heroin addict might be able to get controlled access to the drug as part of a program designed to help him live as productive a life as possible. A pot smoker might simply be regulated by imposing high taxes, with the idea that most pot smokers would rather pay a premium to get their supply legally.

The main focus, in my opinion, should be on addiction and stopping the illegal drug supply. Legalization would largely solve the problem of suppliers, dealers, and tainted drugs, and handled properly would not increase addiction. I think legalization would allow us to win part of the drug war.

Drug Users don't care if they're Legal or not they can get them in any schoolyard in America.

50 years ago in the big city's there was a paper boy and shoe shine boy on every street corner in the country, they have now been replaced by the "Drug Dealer.

The "War On Drugs" is the biggest joke ever played on the American People by our Pus Filled Scummy Grinning Vermin Politicians.
