Perhaps just a level decrimialization would be a good compromise?

it's lost income at a time when income is needed and makes sense. the longer we wait to take over the money part of it, the more the dealer's make, and they buy guns, which is better? this is a no brainer, and makes less sense because the people that are so against it, have no clue what it does. it became illegal so mexicans couldn't vote, not because it's dangerous for responsible users, just like the sauce.

BAH!
If it is to be legalised, let it be legalised for its own sake, not as just another excuse to keep feeding the beast that is the state.
For those who have never tried pot, here is a video of the Hulk fighting a bear...

Right...But somehow the federal-state separation does allow autocrats in black robes come in and strike down props 187 and 8, by judicial fiat.
Like Willow said...Why even bother voting anymore?
yea but i have met and seen a lot of people who are against 187 and 8.....but are definitely for this one....as a matter of fact i run into very few people against this one....why i even know some RASCALLY Republicans who are all for this Pot Thing.....

"For my brother, Im sure it started out as a social activity, something fun and exciting to do with his buddies. He was a teenager when he began smoking pot, and I remember the pungent odor, seeing marijuana cigarettes rolled tightly in white paper and the paraphernalia in his room.
I was a child then, so I didnt think much of what was happening.
As a society, we have decided that there are certain drugs that were willing to accept. Whether we choose to indulge or not, many of us love our cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, which, by the way, have disastrous effects if not used in moderation.
Lets not add marijuana to the list."

"With Mexico's legitimate sources of foreign exchange wilting and with the government facing a bloody and open-ended war against the cartels, the prospect of a settlement must be increasingly attractive to Calderón. Legalization would legitimize the drug trade as another important export sector of the Mexican economy, along with oil, tourism, light manufacturing, and expatriate labor receipts. According to the New York Times, Calderon has opened up a dialogue with opposition political leaders in a search for possible alternatives, and has called for a national discussion on the possibility of drug legalization. Calderón's two predecessors, Vicente Fox and Ernesto Zedillo, now support some form of drug legalization."
You not only are totally ignorant with regard to this topic you are arrogant in your ignorance. Because there is no chance that I can educate someone as self-assured as you obviously are the best I can do is refer you to a book called, Marihuana, The Forbidden Medicine, by Dr. Lester Grinspoon, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatric Medicine, Harvard Medical School.And since your link DOES NOT address the issues of increased usage among the population, increased levels of people being stoned at their various jobs, or missing work or becoming incompetant, etc. Also, there's nothing in your link about the effects of long term use of marijuana.....you don't have to die in order to be adversely affected by a drug, you know.
Yes, decriminalization would put a serious crimp in profit for the criminal element, but it would NOT eliminate it.....as any pot grower would tell you, they don't need the gov't version of what they can personally do better. Inadvertently, you create a small criminal class that would still be prosecuted....
Next time, Mikey...just present your case and lay off the sarcasm and condescending attitude, because you'll look less foolish when someone takes the wind out of your sails, as I did here.

Another excellent book on the subject is, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, by Jack Herer. Both are available from Amazon and I can assure you that if you take the time to read both you will be capable of discussing this topic intelligently rather than parroting and paraphrasing the Reefer Madness nonsense which you clearly have been indoctrinated with.
Doesn't matter....The opponents will find some moonbat on the bench to declare their vote unconstitutional.
who would have thunk it five years ago...
soon i will be able to smoke a joint while sleeping with my new hubbie...
only in california!!
thanks arnold.
But make no mistake.... legalizing pot will introduce a whole new level of problems that comes with people "legally" getting stoned that parallels what we are now dealing with regarding alcohol. IMHO, it's just not worth it. Perhaps just a level decrimialization would be a good compromise?
If you dopers think you're gonna' have a lot of fun smoking the legal weed you're wrong.
First off, it'll be more expensive because it's gonna' get taxed. Plus some do-gooder politician is gonna' attach all sorts of fees on it to fund anti-drug education programs in California and drive the cost up even more.
Then, the THC (the only reason you smoke it anyway) will be minimized in an effort to "keep you safe". It'll be found to be some sort of harmful substance, in some way, trust me.
So what you'll end up doing is going back to the illegal, homegrown, full THC weed in an effort to get away from state regulation and meddling.
