Marijuana Debate - Douglas, GA

It will give lawmen more serious crimes to investigate like murder and rape and it would make for a more productive environment.

Please explain....just exactly how would you like to see pot legalized?

Ummm....no, it's not.

It is natural. Alcohol should be against the law.

So...all naturally occuring things should be legal and all things brewed with natural ingredients shouldn't be. Hmmmmmm.....

Grow it, tax it. People are smoking it anyway. Legalizing it would free up much needed prison space.

Legalizing marijuana would solve prison overcrowding and generate tax dollars.

regulated the same way as cigarettes and alcohol. age 21 and same regulations and warnings that come with a cigarette pack.

but a better test will be needed for determining DUI's

Who would grow it? And how would it be taxed?

Gov't already grows it.

Which goes back to the original post...that person believed that it would free up law enforcement to investigate more serious crimes. But it seems that wouldn't be true. No, they wouldn't be looking for illegal pot fields anymore, but it would, as you say, have a need for determining DUI. Would you support the taxes generated by the sales to be used to fund law enforcement?

Probably...and they also enrich uranium for nuclear weapons. Should we be allowed to do that as well?

Wow...do you really believe that? About the prison overcrowding, I mean. Just exactly how many people convicted of possession go to prison as opposed to other crimes? Exactly how many beds and cells would be freed up?

I guess the only people voting on this site are stoners, huh? Call us what you will. Anyone who throws around the word stupid is stupid. Go back to your tree stand.

No need for DUI's for pot...someone that is high is a better driver than a drunk any day.

Never smoked marijuana but have heard it only makes you eat and sleep.
If so, how harmful can it be. Alcohol ismore harmful to your health.

Heh-heh...not quite. No tree stand, I don't hunt. Nor am I a good ol' boy.

I'm waiting for someone to actually give a fact related opinion as to why pot should be legalized. All that has been said so far can't be backed up, which can only lead me to believe that a vast majority of those who want it legalized only want it so: A)they can smoke it when and where they want to, B)they can grow it wherever they want to, C)they don't go to jail for possession. NO ONE, except for Banner, has given any thought into their position, much less voiced it.

Sorry, I meant Smarty MC..Banner's on another thread.

if marijuana is legal then we are saying it is ok for drugs in our kids life?
