Yes because this http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn8 ... brain.html might happen and that would be awful. What you did there is precisely the definition of naive.

I'm a hard worker and a good one at that. The idea that stoners are lazy is such a cliche. I enjoy being put under stress, last night I had a 2100 word essay to complete along with formatting and correcting my bibliography. None of which would be any what enjoyable without a quick smoke of Kush I'd just recently acquired. I'm lazy whatever.....

ye man, i watched a documentary on it and this scientist was saying that that cannabaloids or how ever you spell it fits perfectly with are nervous system or something like that, basically saying that who ever put us here intended us to smoke weed, and to smoke fucking loads of it.

That would literally take a change of the US Constitution as Article VI, Clause 2 establishes the Constitution as "the supreme law of the land."

So one of two things would have to happen for marijuana to be completely legal in the US: (1) The US Constitution would have to be changed or (2) Marijuana would have to either be reclassified or removed from Schedule I on the Controlled Substances Act.

Option one is almost completely unlikely because it would give states the right to make laws that would supercede those of the federal government. Option two is more likely to happen than option one, although I do not see this happening anytime in the near future.

Many jurisdictions in the US have already decriminalized marijuana, but that means little. I once got stopped at a DUI checkpoint with a few grams of marijuana and a pipe that I had literally just hit. They put me through their DUI checks, which I passed, but confiscated the weed and pipe and gave me a small fine. That's decriminalization! Far different than legal weed.

Let me start by saying that im in favour of all drugs being legalised for a number of reasons. However I think that saying that a drug should be legalised just because there's worse legal drugs out there is a bit of a flawed argument. Sorry but there's some danger with pretty much all drugs, and no politician would take this as a reason to legalise another. Also a number of prescription drugs have health benefits if taken correctly, but are sometimes abused.

There's a lot better reasons to campaign for legalisation, such as legalising it would make getting funding into researching the health benefits a lot easier. At the moment its really easy to get funding to say that illegal drugs are bad, but it is hard to get funding to say that yes there are benefits with weed, such as helping with the effects of chemo.

Saying that, as a weed smoker yes I agree with the original statement. It pisses me off no end that alcohol, which lets face it in the UK if it was illegal would be a class A, is sold at less than cost in a number of places, yet some of us have to put ourselves at risk of our careers and worse just to do what we enjoy, and yes is a lot safer. I just feel that if you are going to campaign for it to be legal (which we should!!!!) then this isn't a very good argument.

Also religion has no place in politics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
