So whats your oppinion on weed? I believe it should be legal.
The illegalization only costs taxmoney and drains ressources through the needed investigation and eventual stay in prison. It alienates them making it harder for those who want to quit harder to find help and drives them even further into the addiction. Its less addictive than tobacco or alcohol. It isnt harming your body (unless you smoke it, in that case it damages the lungs as the inhalation of any burned substance would) as opposed to legal drugs like tobacco which damage nerves and bloodvessels, the heart and lungs, and alcohol that basically poisons your whole body. It being illegal gives gangs and cartells a good source of income, just as the CIA which smuggles drugs for the cartells over the boarder (ask Garry Webbs about it, he suicided with 2 shots in the head after writing about it. Not even memeing) while also missing the chance of gaining a lot through money. Through not selling it the goernment loses a lot of potential taxmoney If legal and sold through controlled routes it would make it healthier as the streetdealers like to mix it with unhealthy stuff. It makes you think outside the usual boundaries making you more prone to take a redpill.
Lots of medical potential as >Painkiller >Appetizer >Tourette syndrom treatment >Epilepsi >Substitute for Cancer and HIV medicine (not those that fight those deseases, but those you get additionally to counter the naussea and pain which are often less wellbecomming than weed) >Glaucoma treatment

Because when you normalize weed and remove the stigma surrounding it. You're automatically lowering the bar for other drugs aswel.
You're not lowering the bar in terms of tolerance, but for the people its one tred of the staircaise they don't need to mount anymore. Which enables them to be more open towards other, still illegal drugs.
Legalising stuff that has been banned (justified or not) is always dangerous for the generations to come.
And btw legalisation is one thing, do you ever think about regularization? What are your thoughts on that?

>You're automatically lowering the bar for other drugs aswel. whats wrong with that? wether its weed or cyanid, if they are inserting it into their body out of their free will its their issue. you can use the money you safe from prosecuting druggies for educational programms telling the people what the drugs do and their risk.
>Legalising stuff that has been banned (justified or not) is always dangerous for the generations to come. so just preserve the status quo even if its fucked up, because when we change anything it might be something bad.
>And btw legalisation is one thing, do you ever think about regularization? What are your thoughts on that? depends on how its regulated. for example i would be for regularization to prevent minors from getting weed, or drugs in general. but if it becomes too regulated or restricted it will go the way of tobacco where the plant will be completely altered, and some substances for taste and smell are added which makes it more unhealthy. not to mention the pollonium 210 contamination of tobacco.

I think that would be difficult because I believe a majority of weed users are teens and young adults. At best, there could be anti-weed ads akin to truth's antismoking ads, but they'd have to find something negative to promote. Alternatively, they can find a way to build on the information surrounding cognitive development in young pot smokers. However, they'd also have to account for the 420 dronebots who will blindly defend their plant no matter what.

I don't smoke it but I'd like to sell it.

I don't know if I'd smoke pot if it was legal. Smoking is bad for you regardless. Why put toxins in your body? >inb4 vape faggots Go look up the long-term effects of having THC latched to your brain stem and then come back and talk to me.
Hunter Davis
when making regulations you shouldnt focus on what the targetgroup is, but on what is best. and selling pot to minors is bad as it is bad for the development of the body and brain.
for the bad stuff, there certainly are some aspects. as i said the altering of the bodies development and of the brain. it can be addictive (psychologically, not physically). smoking it does damage your lungs
the 420 blaze it people saying weed is completly harmless are cancer, even though its not nearly as dangerous as some people want to make you believe. saying its harmless leads to minors taking it, thinking that if the illegal drug weed is so harmless, so surely are the other ones too etc.
what should be done is to provide actually true infos on the pros and cons of weed. demonizing or glorifying it is both stupid as fuck
Jace White
from all i know, all the alterations weed does to your brain is only temporary and will change back once you stop it. if you have other sources pls provide them though
David Sanchez
Could we also consider that it's not the weed itself that has the pros and cons, but the THC it contains?
The closest comparison I have is with methamphetamine and amphetamine salts. Meth stays illegal for its abuse potential and adverse side effects, but it's benefits are utilized through the prescription amphetamines that are derived from it.
Basically, legalize and regulate THC for its medical benefits while keeping weed illegal.
Sorry if it's a sucky explanation. I have the idea but I don't know how to word it well, so I hope you get it.

Have you read about CBD at all? What are your feelings on that?

Very degenerate. It shouldn't necessarily be illegal, but society is better off when there's a strong social stigma against drug use, especially drug use that interferes with your life.
Asher Morgan
I think it might make it easier to crack down on other, more harmful drugs, though. The resources we're wasting on weed are probably better spent elsewhere. I'd rather see heroin or method eliminated.
Jason Morris
what is CBD?
Zachary Brooks
It goes both ways though, no one ever wins.
Connor Reyes
>K-HOLE!
Benjamin Fisher
It acts to inhibit the effects of THC on the brain, from less euphoria to less anxiety. By itself, it works as an anti-psychotic drug that cuts down anxiety but in return could lead to you losing some sleep.
I think it has more potentially medicinal benefits than THC, and I wouldn't be surprised if future medicine utilizes the effects of CBD.
