Cannabis legalisation

[idleidolidyll]

nah, it's all dry and looks more like sawdust from a fish smoker

it's a much more mellow buzz too cos there is no carbon monoxide poisoning in the hit

using a vaporiser eliminates the lung issue and 'apparently' the weed looks almost the same when all the goodness is gone: you can sell it on to the street kids and not get busted (since there's no THC left, it's just hemp by then)

It's a cleaner hit.. highly unlikely you could sell it on, because the shit just crumbles.

just saw this thread.

trouble with a poll like this is it is NOT absolutely confidential and we all know there are cops lurking on KB.
I wouldn't expect those who do use to answer in the affirmative in NZ given that our prisons are full of victimless criminals already.

I am not too worried, they already know who I am, if they really wanted something to do then I suppose they could look up my(or any other minor offendors) record and pay me a visit, although we both know it would be a waste of time, I like a puff occasionally, but I also own my own house, hold down at least two jobs, and make sure my kids are well looked after and those things come first.

I'm not going to get suckered into a "bell curve" argument by a bunch of yay-sayers in the third standard deviation. Marijuana is not harmless, and neither are its current distribution and marketing systems. If it is going to be legalised it will need to be cheaper than the product is at present. And I'm a bit uncomfortable with making products like this cheaper and more readily available.

I concur in that full legalisation might not be such a good idea, and it would give children easier access to pot than they have at present.

But, to put the other half of your argument in perspective, almost nothing is harmless, especially in excess. Man, even barbequed steak is said to be carcinogenic. Eating too much sugar throughout your life can cause you to develop type II diabetes. The microbes which cause legionnaire's disease could be living in your shower rose. We all know about the dangers of tobacco and alcohol. Shit, somebody even told me the other day that riding motorcycles was dangerous!

Live and let live, people should be free to make their own, informed, choices, and to be free from persecition for doing so. That is why I think decriminalisation, rather than legalisation, is the way to go.

what the fuck are you on about cunt?

I'd rather pick a fight with a stoner than a drunk.

At least they'd buy me a burger afterwards.

(sigh)For those even less astute than Dover:
We already have a shark (booze) in the pool (society) and obviously it is not a good thing..

Certain people seem to think it would be a 'good idea' to introduce a barracoutta (cannabis) to the pool "Because it's not as bad as alcohol" (the shark).

Scummy both you and the police are not even remotely attached to reality.

Must be all the piss you consume huh?

The code of conduct says nothing about needing to be attached to reality - not even remotely!

And was just home from work when I posted the last post so hadn't even had time to have any of the tquila I'm having now.

Sorry, I must have missed the bit about sucking up to losers.

The biggest losers in our society of late have been the police.

You have a point. More Laws relating to what we cannot do just adds to the number of crimes committed I guess but on the other hand if drugs were made legal and the price goes up will this have a knock on effect on increase in crimes to pay for drugs or will the fact the drugs are no longer illusive make them cheaper?

Go back to your bottle grandad.

Is that it? that's your best reponse?

Sheesh, I'm, sorely disappointed, not up to your usual standard of sarcasm, petulance and childish wit at all........
