Q&A: Should marijuana be legalized?
Question by NJ: Should marijuana be legalized?
I’m not some teenager who loves getting smoked out. I want to know your opinion. Right now it is a schedule 1 drug in most states. It’s not legal for any purpose. Since the mid ’90s, movements have started putting marijuana on the spot. The laws are passed by state. I think that it should be legalized but implements pressing to legalize marijuana are too vague. How strong should the limit be? Who should grow it? Should it be schedule 1, illegal for any use, schedule 2, strictly limited to medical purposes, or should it be used recreationally and medically? Even if you’re a smoked out kid, I still want to hear everyone’s opinions.
This girl I know who loves to do illegal stuff actually said that it should be legalized. She knows it’s bad. After going to Amsterdam on vacation, where she didn’t smoke at all, pointed out that she started because smoking pot is more of a symbol of retaliation and rebellion. If legalized I think that it wouldn’t be as much fun so less kids would smoke it recreationally. Research shows that legalizing marijuana would raise recreational use very little if at all. Marijuana is not nearly as addicting as other schedule 1 drugs or even as addicting as alcohol or nicotine.
Actually the government can tax marijuana. There are marijuana stamps required to have it however the stamps are not printed. Only certain organizations approved by the government can issue joints issued to them by the government. These aren’t taxed because they were issued by the government.
T-LaR3309, “There is no physiological evidence that marijuana is a ‘gateway’ to harder drugs like cocaine or heroin.” Though it may lead to harder drugs, it is psychologically leading. Most people who use marijuana, medically or recreationally, will never become full addicts and move on to other drugs. Because marijuana is not physically addicting, most users will feel no need to use harder drugs. This has been proven by government researchers.

Answer by Linus
Remember: Just because it’s illegal, doesn’t mean you can’t get it.
The war on drugs is a crock of sh*t, I’ll admit.
A lot of the reasons as to why it’s illegal is based on 1930′s philosophy, that has no merit or application today. i.e, if you smoke it, you’ll go insane. Lawmakers stand to make money off of this, and so long as they can, this law will not change.
Maybe one of the lawmakers will get Multiple Sclerosis and learn about marijuana that way, and how (in my opinion), it doesn’t really do any harm. At all.
There are no deaths attributed to overdosing on marijuana. There are hundreds of thousands with alcohol.
From my experience, the people who say “marijuana is a drug and drugs are bad,” are some of the most harmful individuals I’ve ever met – both to the environment and to themselves. I know a lot of people who smoke pot and they are some of the most straight-forward, sensible people I’ve ever met (they all have college degrees).
Marijuana is not a gateway drug. You can say that about ANYTHING. I can say video games is a gateway drug. I know people who sit at home all day and play XBox 360. Is that any healthier than smoking pot? I can say Yahoo Answers is a gateway drug. Can anybody honestly say that Y!A isn’t addicting?
Remember: Just because it’s illegal, doesn’t mean you can’t get it. For this reason and this reason ONLY, I would say keep it a schedule 1 drug. It’s up to you to teach your children not to be conditioned by the fascist bureaucrats who rule with a red white and blue iron fist. Oh great now you got me all fired up…

Well, there’s not much to say really, I mean… any fool with half a neuron firing in their brain can see that prohibition does NOT work – dont believe me? Okay, just wait…. more and more people are learning about the reality of who is and isn’t benefitting from prohibition. Here’s a real-life example… Lets see… Im seventeen, at this point in my life I have had access to everything from methamphetamine/cocaine/crack/GHB/Opiates/2C-xyz-chemicals/even-heroin-once to LSD25/nn-DMT/Mushrooms/Mescaline/MARIJUANA/etc… and thats not even half of what I’ve had access to either through dealers or being offered a substance for free…. my point in that is that if these substances were controlled and available to the public based on regulations (such as age restrictions, mental health checks, doctor’s blessing, etc…) I would never have had people offer me meth, coke, MDMA/MDA/speed, heroin, crack, etc… because the dealers would be cracked down on a lot more seeing as the governing forces that be would care about them more because the dealing would cut-in on their profit from taxation…. its common knowledge that the medicinal industry, second only to war is the biggest cash cow out there… Think about this… if people had to apply for a psychoactive rights license that allowed them legal status of the right to be under the influence of a psychoactive substance (should be nearly all except marijuana – anyone can toke safely – but psychedelics and chemical substances and …

Interesting hit piece on Glenn Beck, your opinions?
Question by 2Hot4Hell: Interesting hit piece on Glenn Beck, your opinions?
Just came across this article a few minutes ago, its bill maher talking about Glenn Beck.

Maher: Glenn Beck Is Dangerous, Like Tim McVeigh [Greg Pollowitz]
I finished the Real Time podcast on the way to work this morning. Toward the end, the discussion turns to Glenn Beck at Fox News and how dangerous he is. Dangerous as in comparing him and his new hit show to Timothy McVeigh and to the guy who shot up a Tennessee church. Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch were also singled out and called irresponsible for putting him on the air. Since Beck is saying the same kind of stuff on Fox as he did on Headline News, I guess that makes CNN irresponsible as well? Unbelievable.
And what’s really odd about this is that Bill Maher, who speaks about legalizing drugs on just about every show, and Glenn Beck pretty much agree on that issue. You also won’t find Beck as any great defender of President Bush over the past eight years. Here’s an excerpt from a Daily Beast interview with Beck from a few days ago:
How angry does it make you that AIG is using our money to pay $ 165 million in bonuses to their ill-begotten executives?
It makes me insane because George Bush shouldn’t have given that money to AIG in the first place. Now we have to care about what their contracts with their people say. Now I’m mad at George Bush and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd making this deal. But I can’t believe that Barack Obama wants to break the contract. What are you talking about? You’ve got a contract. Now if that’s what the government is going to do, saying that they have the right to terminate contracts, well, you’ve got to shut the pie hole on it. It’s one or the other. You can’t just start breaking contracts. If you want to do that, that’s why you let businesses fail.
It’s not our contract with AIG, the people’s contract with AIG. It’s AIG’s contracts with its executives.
They made those deals with their employees. How could you possibly back out of the AIG contract because it’s popular? It’s a legal contract.
You’ve also come out for the legalization of marijuana if, under the circumstances, we’re not going to enforce the marijuana laws federally, is that right?
You know what I can’t stand? I can’t stand inconsistency. It’s not about politics for me, it’s about consistency. If we have a problem with drugs at the border, and we’re not going to seriously take on the user, and we’re not going to enforce our own borders, well then, what are we doing?
Would you extend that to other controlled substances?
Look, I’m a libertarian. The problem is that we are so far away from being a society that understands self-regulation, it would be an absolute meltdown at this point. We’re going in the wrong direction. We’ve got to wean ourselves off of government and start regulating ourselves. That’s the same thing with the free-market system. You let people live with the results, good or bad. It’ll fix itself.
What really scares the pants off of liberals when you mention Glenn Beck is how fast his show on Fox has become a hit. (Actually, it’s how fast liberals realized he’s a hit. His audience has existed and has been developed over many years.) He’s not a predictable conservative, but a libertarian. And his libertarian views are appealing to a type of voter that Democrats have been courting since 2006. The left even invented a new term for these voters called “Libertarian Democrats.” The problem, of course, is that this new Libertarian Democrat is attracted much more to Glenn Beck’s philosophy on government that President Obama’s and unless liberals can kill the Glenn Beck baby in the bassinet, he’s going to be a factor in the 2010 and 2012 election.
———-
And for the record I’m a Libertarian Democrat and Beck’s show is the only thing I can stomach on Fox News.

“One Toke Over the Line” – Mountain Dulcimer & Acoustic Bass
This song, by Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley was my favorite as a teenager in the ’70s, even before I became a toker. Now an “activist” for re-legalization of marijuana, I hear an anthem for the silent majority who use Cannabis as a social repast, herbal medicine and spiritual lubricant. The Master of Acoustic Bass is my friend Steve Wishnia, ex-editor at High Times magazine, now an independent journalist. He wrote a great book, “The Cannabis Companion”, available at Amazon.com. The people I have met in the “movement” are truely modern patriots – standing tall for freedoms that the Founding Fathers knew we would have to fight for. Seventy years of government propaganda cannot erase eons of human interaction with this remarkable gift from Mother Nature. Visit my VLOG for more on these issues: cannabistv.wordpress.com “One Toke” is one of several great songs on the “Tarkio” album, available at brewerandshipley.com Oh, and check out the Lawrence Welk version on Tom Shipley’s You Tube channel www.youtube.com And the version I filmed of the guys in DC, 1998: www.youtube.com

World Energy Independence 2012 No more Blood for Oil
We need repeal of an unconstitutional law that has filled our prisons with nonviolent cannabis users. The prohibition against marijuana was unconstitutional from its inception. We don’t want legalization of marijuana which leaves the government to control and regulate it. Thomas Jefferson was a hemp farmer. There are documents in Library of Congress where George Washington states that he liked sitting on the back porch smoking a pipe of hemp. In early Colonial times people could pay their taxes with hemp!
