What are your home country's policy of Marijuana?
What are your own personal views on Marijuana?

I live in the United States where federally it is illegal to obtain Marijuana in any substance, but by state it can be legal to which Obama wrote the law that the feds can't swoop in and arrest everyone in the state for their state laws.

I live in Georgia which is in the "Bible Belt", and it was just recently legalized medically for a very specific group of people. This is a huge hurdle for the south.

Obviously, I'm for the legalization of Marijuana.

I personally am not interested in using it, but it's only logical that it should be legalized.

What are your reasons for disinterest?
Is it legal where you live, starting to be legalized, or completely illegal?

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
In the UK it's considered a Class B, meaning I can be put in prison for up to 5 years for possession (after a first time warning with no previous convictions IIRC), or 14 years for production/with intent to supply.

In Ireland it's a tad different, with a ~£1000-2000 fine and a year of prison for possession, or 14 years and a higher fine for supplying/production.

My personal stance is that it should be totally legalised and have some sort of tax added on to counter the effects of more serious drugs like alcohol and heroin addiction. Plus I really don't get all the fuss about it.

I just find the concept of inhaling and exhaling smoke to be gross, which sounds odd to a lot of people. It's your body though and you can do whatever you want with it as you please, my opinion means nothing.

I'm in Texas and I'm very unfamiliar of the laws.

Actually it's legal medically in Michigan: http://norml.org/legal/item/michigan-medical-marijuana
Why do you hate drugs, and to what degree would you say you hate users of Marijuana versus other drugs?

I don't have any interest in using it, but I wouldn't be against legalization in the UK.

Very understandable. I'm a cigarette smoker as well and I find that I much rather smoke marijuana than cigarettes because smoking marijuana it can actually help your lungs,

yeah, i knew that, but that's not quite enough for me and... basically 80% of my state

but i mean, whatever, i'd rather you smoke weed than inject heroin, but it's just the principle alone of altering your perception that i hate, especially when our neurochemistry is so volatile and fragile as it is--why would anyone want to fuck with it

i sure wouldn't
ever

your brain is kind of important--i wouldn't want to alter how it perceives things even temporarily
and no one who values their intelligence should either

Illegal with a fine of something around up to 2000 kroner for 15 or so grams, which is considered to be for personal use. Anything above that is considered intent to deal, which will land you a prison sentence.

I think pot should be decriminalized.

The gateway argument is the most compelling one against legalization I can think of, but I combatting the drug trade probably takes precedence.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I've smoked plenty. From 'bobby brown' to 'knock you on your ass.' Gone though periods of smoking chronic every day (Ergo this alias, coined by NoNeckin) and times where I've quit for over a year.

Actually I have about a gram right now of some fruity smelling stuff, I just cant smoke it with this infection.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Illegal here

I think its pretty silly that a plant is illegal but i dont really care if it stays illegal or not.

In Colorado where marijuana is legalized recreationally not only has the use of illegal drugs gone down, but their taxation on it has increased their economy.

All the local chavs smoke it. Having grown up here I simply am flabbergasted that anyone would genuinely take a good, logical look at the stuff and say "hey, I think it'll be great to start smoking that shit". It has zero positives, and in 50 years time people will look back on weed legalisation and promotion the very same way we look at how tobacco was in the past.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I think PA just pushed some medical bill through the state congress... I think the new governor supports is so that should pass easily then
Wouldn't change anything for me though... The Guard bureau says we're not even allowed to wear civvies made with hemp fiber, lol.

That's kind of interesting because the chemical thc has amazing healing properties that also reduce pain and inflammation. Although it is still relatively knew so mixing it with other medications and antibiotics isn't recommended. I'm glad you have common sense and I hope your infection is cured.

Well technically your brain is under the influence of substances essentially always due to the things everyone ingests. (Food, drink, medicine, things absorbed through simple interaction with them, etc.) Of course, not all of them are psychoactive but It's still impossible to remain completely uninfluenced by substances when everything in nature is made of substances.

Essentially your brain's current state is the result of environmental conditioning. Even the genes that governed its makeup at birth were the result of the environmental conditioning of your ancestors.

Everything has an effect on your perception to some degree. I get why one might want to limit that effect, but it's good to understand the necessity of it.  If that influence didn't exist then your perception would have no conditioning and wouldn't have even manifested itself to begin with.

ftr, this post isn't meant to condone drug use.

ugh, i knew someone was gonna try to bring this stupid-ass shit up

spare me

the thing about drugs is that you are voluntarily under the influence of them

you have to eat food
you DON'T have to do drugs

Chavs drink beer on street corners too. What's your point?
And it having zero positives is wrong also. It has multiple health benefits, otherwise it wouldn't be used medically.

and while you're not wrong, per se, it's just pedantic and irritating

Cannabinoids have been shown to inhibit digestive motility. (Which is probably why they help with things like IBD, Crohn's disease etc.) but I have to detox and flush my system of this infection as quickly as possible so inhibiting digestive motility is definitely not good for me right now.  And smoking anything in general can cause initial symptoms to worsen.

I will say that while THC has some nice properties, it's CBD that seems to be the real medicinal contender.

Ah see I did not know that it caused digestion immobility! Learned something new thank you! I guess that would make sense though
