Poll: if marajuana were legal would you smoke it?

[iwantanewcomputer]

how often? I might on social occasions avery few weeks

 

[HardcoreRobot]

prolly not, assuming my job doesnt change their drug policy

 

[notfred]

The same people that smoke it now would continue to smoke it. People that don't smoke it now would probably not smoke it. People don't choose to smoke weed or not based on its legality anymore than they choose whether or not to drive 5mph over the limit based on its legality.

Nope, makes my lungs hurt.

 

[StrangerGuy]

Are you too stoned to spell "marijuana" correctly?

 

[DragonMasterAlex]

no possible way. My parents were fvcked up, jerkoff drug addicts, why in the *hell* would I want to be anything like their sorry asses?

:thumbsup:

BTW, I don't smoke anything.

I would not smoke it.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Uhh if it were legal and you already smoke cigarrettes, then you should switch. Go read TIME or Newsweek. Marijuana is 100x better than tobacco. Now as for smoking it.... ehh..

I've done alcohol in college but I have said no to drugs so far. I hope to stay that way.

 

[Scarpozzi]

On occasion. Maybe once every month or so... I imagine it'd be EXTREMELY expensive and taxed if you didn't grow it yourself...

i love you mara jane

It would have to be cheaper than it currently is, or else there would be no reason for it not to be on the black market like it is now.

 

[tweakmm]

Yup. I smoke now with it being illegal and pay, depending on market conditions(both black and international), roughly the same price as I would for gold.

Using your logic, ALL drugs should be legalized, heck the number of drug users would pretty much remain constant, right?

Imagine if alcohol was illegal and it was a felony offense to be caught with it. Don't you think a large percentage of the people that currently drink alcohol would stop? And if it was legalized again, a lot more people would drink socially?

I smoked a couple ounces/week in High School and College but I don't think I woulddo it again because I might start smoking cigs again.

A couple of ounces PER WEEK!! An ounce would probably last me 5 years

Drugs SHOULD be legal. Whether people should USE drugs or not is a moral question, not properly a legal one.

You SHOULD be free to destroy yourself with drugs if you want to, as a matter of principle. You own your life, and that necessarily includes the right of use and disposal.

Also as a matter of principle you SHOULDN'T use drugs because they are self destructive and provide little or no legitimate benefit. They are costly and dangerous, and a moral person doesn't intentionally destroy his or her own life.

Morality, however, *REQUIRES* a conscious choice in the face of an alternative. If I CHOOSE not to do drugs when I COULD do them, that's moral. If I don't do them because you disallow it and make it hard to get them, that's *not* moral. It's in fact IMMORAL on your part and AMORAL on mine.

In places where drug use has been decriminalized, such as in Amsterdam, the addiction rate is about the same as it is everywhere else. It didn't do up.

Your second question has already been tested in the US during Prohibition. It didn't stop drinking, in fact it didn't make much of a dent at all. All it caused was the death of police officers when they confronted organized crime, which was caused by the prohibition of alcohol.

 

[vi edit]

If it were legal and you couldn't be fired for it showing up on drug tests from employers, I'd probably make a batch of brownies and go play some frisbee golf one the weekends.
