I don't know

they need to get over and make it LEGAL IMO.

it's stupidity.

if tobacco and alcohol is legal THIS should be legal as well. it's no worse.

I don't smoke it, nor do I advocate it, but I do think that it is not worth the money wasted on policing it. In my opinion, legalise it, tax the crap out of it like tobacco and booze, and move on to bigger and better things!

Policeman arrests 'pot head'

A police officer arrested a man in a convenience store in the US after noticing a bag of marijuana stuck to his forehead.

The 29-year-old was spotted walking away from the toilets of the shop in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, looking anxiously at the inside of his baseball cap.

When the man approached the officer, he looked up, and the officer noticed a small plastic bag stuck to his forehead that appeared to contain marijuana.

The officer retrieved the bag from the man's forehead and asked, "Is this what you're looking for?", a police news release states.

The man, identified as Cesar Lopez, was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

Police said it is not uncommon for people to store drugs inside the sweatband of baseball caps.

I agree with you on this issue.

I'm in absolute agreement with Sparks.

It's been legalized here for quite a few years for medical reasons. I do know some that use it for pain, the get a script for it. They swear by it but I don't think I would ever try it myself . I don't think it's important enough to make it a crime.

I am not an advocate of it, for recreational use. I don't know enough about it for medical use. I do wonder, though, if there is anything different about pot and alcohol/tobacco use. Do recreational users of alcohol/tobacco go on to harder core drugs? Do recreational users of pot go on to harder core drugs? Is it the same %?

I have 'heard' that more recreational users of pot go on to harder core drugs than not. IF that is so, I would not be in favor of legalizing it- though it has been de-criminalized in my state.

I drink alcohol. I have for years and years and years. I have not gone on to smoke anything (though it does seem like my money goes up in smoke). I wonder if this is similar to others experience?

Actually,

Drinking alcohol has more of a 'material' after effect. Smoke dissapates. You can see your urine when you are done with your booze....

---------------------

Legalizing pot probably won't happen soon.

For every 'dollar' worth of pot taken off the street the authorities get a % for the bust in government subsidies.

Here in Cah Lee Fuh Nee ah (our governor smoked, has yours?) They have done raids on pot farms/houses and the authorities will give a price in the millions for a few hundred plants..

I thought I sucked at math.

It's all a ruse to make money for the local yokels and the departments.

It's almost like the people who deal in oil and gas prices, they project what the barrel will cost before they pull it out of the ground, then try and convince everyone that is the price and make money off of it.

I have my views on this subject based on my personal experiences, but this is a family forum so I'll keep those to myself.

I'm for legalization though because if it is out of the hands of gang members and thugs it will be safer for everyone. I feel that this issue is similar to abortion...a lot of people think it is a bad thing but if it is legal and performed by someone with a brain and professionalism a lot less people will be hurt by it. I would rather people get weed from a licensed facility rather than some shady arse near my kids elementary school.
