My 2 cents.

Legalize it. I'm not going to use it either way, but I think others should feel free to do whatever they want to themselves. I am not my brothers keeper, nor do I want to be.

If all else fails, the more people Darwin out, the better off the rest of us are.

it doesnt hurt your body , well ok maybe kills a few brain cells but all in all i dont think its any worse then drinking. Ive never heard some one of ODing on pot. Ive heard of many people that have drank until they poisoned themselves. Just legalize it so i dont have to hide when i smoke it.

Ideally... I say stiffen penalties. I do personally believe it's a gateway drug and it's a sin. I think that some fights are worth fighting and the war on drugs is one of them.

Realistically... I say "Confiscate and ticket". Keep it illegal but let's face it lots of people have no problem buying their bahoofus. Just take it and make the ticket like $1000.

I voted based on realism though.

I am pleasantly surprised at how the poll has turned out thus far.

If it were my way, I'd say just legalize it.  It's not any more harmful than cigarettes or smoking in the long run, and there is no empirical evidence which suggests the contrary.

Realistically, I'd at least like to see a nationwide decriminalization of it.  Perhaps a tax system would be in order, and if you did not pay the mj tax, then you get cited and fined.  No incarceration unless illegally trafficking large amounts, such as if someone was illegally smuggling non-taxed tobacco.  There are ways that the government can generate serious revenue like this, instead of just throwing everyone in prison and wasting the tax dollars.

BAD IDEA.

If you legalize it, who the fuck will buy it?  Any dirty hippie with a flower pot will grow his own.

Besides, even if scumbags bought the shit and it was taxed, the states would over-tax it; this would lead to more dirty hippies with flower pots.

In a round about way, nobody would buy it.

Only the complete legalization of all drugs will resort in any less drug cops.  If you "legalize" it but keep criminal sanctions for things like using it in schools, selling it to kids, tax or regulate it then you just continue the status quo.

I find it hypocritical to legalize the drugs hippies want, but not the drugs tweakers or junkies want.  so they should all be completely legalized, as should alcohol, tobacco, and Rx meds.

Half measures like "decriminalization" and California Prop 15, Prop 36, PC1000, PC1210 are ineffective.

Short of legalizing it is practical and thought out and minimizes Police time wasted.  



you couldnt be more wrong about the wasted time issue.  The cops still have to write the same report, process the same evidence, the $40.00 fine wont even cover the overtime for booking the evidence at the end of your shift.  Californias solution is the worst possible solution in that it still requires police resources but with no risk or real punishment to the "criminal".

If there's no effective field sobriety test for it, then maybe it doesn't impair function like alcohol does.

Or maybe the impairment is cognitive rather than motor, so they just haven't come up with an appropriate test yet.

The reason there isn't a field test is because the effects aren't at all like alcohol. It doesn't destroy motor coordination like alcohol does. The best research shows that the only reliable way to tell if someone is stoned on pot is to ask them.



Easy - just start a conversation with them, change the subject a couple of times, and then suddenly ask them what you were originally talking about.

I have to disagree.  the same could be said for tobacco.  Marijuana can be taxed just like tobacco...the government could take its share.

My theory is that there isn't a viable roadside sobriety test.  A stoner driving while intoxicated would have slower reaction skills and an obviously altered concience.  A cop, with todays equipment, wouldn't be able to test his level of intoxication or at what time the drug was "ingested".

You are thinking of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. You can find the text of the act, the full transcripts of the congressional testimony, and some related papers at www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/taxact/taxact.htm

The tax was repealed in 1969 with the case of (Timothy) Leary v. US. Leary argued that the tax was unconstitutional on Fifth Amendment Grounds. The reason was that you had to have the marijuana before you paid the tax and, if you already had the marijuana, then you were admitting to breaking the law by not having paid the tax. A legal Catch-22.

Because Leary won the case, the Marihuana Tax Act, based on the Fed's taxing authority, was replaced with the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which is based on the interstate commerce theory. No more tax.

What was the justification on controlling distilled spirits "for our own safety"?  Safety is just an excuse for not recieving tax revenue.  I assume the law is leftover from prohibition?



Disregarding the tax issue, distilling is a rather dangerous business if people are either a) careless or b) too stupid to educate themselves. If you don't distill alcohol properly, you run a very good chance of producing nothing more than a goodly amount of poison. I'm sure this factored into it, as well as the tax issue. People are allowed to make a certain amount of beer and wine tax-free for personal consumption. I don't see why distilling is any different. I dunno about it being a prohibition throwback, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Edit: Grammar.



That is wrong.  No where in the process does any sort of "poison" get introduced, even if you are sloppy as hell.  You may get small amounts of ketones, I've heard, but not enough to kill you, and it would taste nasty enough that you wouldn't want to drink enough to kill you.


What was the justification on controlling distilled spirits "for our own safety"? Safety is just an excuse for not recieving tax revenue. I assume the law is leftover from prohibition?



too many people going blind and dying i think. Just a guess though.



The myth about people going blind goes back to the prohibition era.  Moonshiners, or dealing middle men would sometimes "cut" their booze with methanol (wood alcohol) to stretch it.  Similar to how heroine and cocaine are often "cut" for sale on the street.  It was the methanol from tainted supply that caused the blindness and not anything in the distilling process itself.



another source of toxins, at least according to the History channel shows I've seen, was moonshiners using old car radiators for the condensor of their still and the radiators had lead in them

The best thing to do with pot is to decriminalize possesion for up to a pound or so.
Next is to decriminalize the manufacturing of it for a certain number of plants.
Keep all other laws in effect... they will eventually become useless as the
pot user will be just a pot user.
This way takes the crime out it and the money out of it and corruption out of it.

This will never happen cuz weed is big business.
Its big business for cops, its a way to make them appear to be enforcing laws and generating revenue with relatively little risk compared to crimes that really matter.
It keeps many of judges, prosecuting and defense attorneys, cops, criminals, guards etc. in business.

Then you got the whole international trade thing ie. Mexico.
They call it "smuggling" or "traffiking" or "WAR on drugs" but its just trade...

Utterly false, for the following reasons.

First, if made legal, big business can spend money on R&D for the newly legalized cannabis crop, thus leading to drastically higher quality stuff than anyone in a basement can make, for presumably an affordable price.

Second, marijuana is a difficult plant to cultivate.  You obviously do not possess much of a working knowledge of what it takes to grow this species of plant, and I guarantee you neither do "hippies with flowerpots".  The best marijuana could be made by facilities devoted to that purpose with capital invested to the end of making a potent product.

Third, who would spend the several weeks it takes to grow a decent marijuana crop when they can simply purchase it for a fraction of the cost of growing materials and obtain it immediately?  Sure, you could be growing a crop and smoking the commercially-obtained stuff until your own mj is ready, but all this takes time, effort, and an investment in botanical equipment to even come close to what could be developed by a business dedicated to the purpose.  You could have more confidence that commercially-developed marijuana would be more consistent in potency than an amateur botanist's, and you wouldn't have to waste your own time trying to equal it when you can just buy it for cheap.  Moreover, the commercial marijuana would not produce the worries of (or produce less worries than)street marijuana when considering whether or not the drug was cut with a harmful filler. Consider the analogy of home-brewed beer vs. commercial beer.  Sure, you probably have a great home recipe that you invest your time and money in, but really, who does that?  Most people buy beer, and accordingly, most people do and would buy marijuana rather than make it.

There is no evidence that marijuana would have any effect on health insurance premiums. The biggest study of health records to date showed that no difference could be found between the health records of pot smokers versus non-smokers.

If it were legal, it would have to be illegal to smoke it in public.  Unlike alcohol, pot can give you a contact high.  I don't want more people on the road under the influence, and you cannot have a designated driver in a room full of pot smoke.  Well, unless they wear a gas mask or something.
