Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why legalizing Marijuana is bad.....

its the high thats the issue, not the legality.....some people are just wired to chase the high....and for the last 15 years in most places its easy enough to get pot from people that just deal in pot and nothing harder....vast majority of pot smokers do not get it from guys that are also slinging heroin or meth.....vast majority of pot smokers get it either from or one person removed from those growing it....outside of inner cities anyway....

I guarantee you that more pot is coming from outside our borders, so unless all the smokers have a cousin name Jesus in Mexico, they ain't getting it from one person removed.

vast majority of smokers aint smoking Mexican brick out side of inner cities....even 15 years ago most the chit i smoked was coming here via British Columbia from a grower a friend knew or from growers within the state, usually out of Missoula......far more pot is grown inside the borders anymore than is imported, especially from Mexico...

It doesn't matter. It illegal. Birds of a feather.

If you say so, I'm sure I haven't a clue about any intel concerning such.

Nothing should be Illegal if you do it in your own home

Your missing the biggest part look at the paper when u buy a gun It says do u or have u use drugs , They leagalize the junk then take it away your done if u use it

for the most part its illegal for kids to drink aswell but im positive as a cop you know that doesnt stop a damn thing.....least it never has up here.....

Sure, but Farooque, won't let 'em hang out in the back room of the 7-11 while all his friends are cutting up dope. Hanging out with criminals is never good for a kid.

yeh but with states like Washington and Colorado legalizing and 24 other states having varios decriminalization and medical laws....regardless of federal law on a local level it isnt always handled as illegal....for minors maybe but otherwise not treated any different from meds or alcohol....which only increases the "grown local" and getting away from the typical drug dealer...

Appears the only Pot the OP curries is Pol.

I don't use illegal drugs, nor should I need to answer such questions to purchase a firearm

I'm for legalization, or criminalization. One or the other. Right now it is a mess. IMHO, the problem is that most people don't want their kids doing dope...'til they do. Then they don't want them to get in trouble for it.

yeah see that crap all the time...."throw the book a them....oh wait my kid was involved? he is a good kid give him a pass and only punish the 'real criminals'"

actually we flustered the hell out of the local juvinile probation officer when one of our girls got in trouble....nothing major just chose the wrong group to hang out with and sat and watched while they did something....when he told us what her punishment was gonna be cause he knew she wasnt a major part of the activities we flat told him that aint gonna get the point across with her, you better up it

It is a step in the wrong direction.

The war on drugs has failed, the people (and I'm not talking about the far religious right wing folks here) know this and will direct their Politian's in the direction they want to go, just as how prohibition of alcohol was ended.

Thats for shor. There's potheads everywhere.

Nothing worse than a reformed anything.

I would presume he is rabidly against alcohol too. And smoking, and coffee, and.....

A dope arrest and conviction will do more to adversely affect one's life than the occasional blunt ever will.

My motion to suppress the 2 joints found inside the backpack of a passenger of a vehicle was granted this morning. The passenger was a family member. I as not paid my minimal 3500 bucks. In fact, I didn't even get 35 cents.

Had I not pulled a rabbit out of my ass, our 18.2-251 probationary disposition calls for drug counseling and 6 months on your mitt, with allowances for work,school and counseling classes. The problem for most parents, whose kids get tagged for minor amounts of dope,is that they are the ones who get smacked with the attorney's fees and driving their kids around when family member vehicles are not available.

One has to fight it as best they can, though. The drug conviction taint on a kid's jacket rides their back well into their later life. I do have a problem with that.

And, if their arrest in no way is vehicle related,keep the DMV out of it.

Keep it illegal,imo. If a violation and arrest occurs for minor amounts of dope; 500.00 fine,25 hours community service and push it out for 3-6 months. If the kid accomplishes the probationary obligations and mandates and satisfies fines and costs, the charge is then dismissed at the end of the ordered time period.
