Greater availability promotes more usage which promotes further amounts of abuse of the substance.
Is that a logical assessment ?
The interesting thing is though there have been surveys been taken asking a broad spectrum of the population if marijuana
should be legalized or not and the majority said no it shouldn't be........interesting
maybe thats the reason too that politicians don't want to get involved with this idea.
i've been reading several of the comments and many of you appear to be out-of-step with the faithful and discreet slave..
Yes I realise that now Apocryphal22 , I shouldn't read posts so quickly , laughs on me....cheers
As Homer would have said Doh !

Whats your viewpoint folks on marijuana being a gateway drug to the use of harder drugs.
I would have to agree with you Purps, the drug situation as it stands today is a total mess, there are those
who are deadly against it being legalized because the value of will just drop out of sight , the end product and even the seeds sellers
have said no to the idea, ironic as it seems. And as in the perspective of the law societies out and about there are many lawyers
who also are making a killing defending people in the courts up on trafficking charges.
The big problem as it is now at least in my neck of the woods is there is huge profits to be made by the production and selling of marijuana
and the laws have lacks themselves down so much now every subjective criminal is taking a whack at it, including murdering gangsters.
Its actually has got certain communities quite frighten and scared to even go out of their houses, as I said before hundreds of thousands of dollars
can be made in one sale alone and the people who are willing to attempt this are now only facing a few months of jail time.
between rescue and killing of an egyptian..
He didn't break the sacred tablets coming down from the Mount of Olives, its a certainty that god would have zapped him then and there.
the signs are becoming more and more clear.
violent crimes are increasing and lawlessness is the thing of the day.
people are starting to lose their minds due to the increasing job loss and economic hardship.
Are the JWS selling this recent economic down turn as a definite sigh of the GT.........anyone ?
If they are they are truly scum of the earth.
Then again it wouldn't surprise me the least, you can bet that some zealous brother giving a talk somewhere
will pull this rabbit out, even if it isn't officially brought out by the GB members.
Personally I think its morally vulgar for anyone to be placed into subjection and control by such a corrupt organization as the JWS are.
The reason is they take peoples lives and force a bunch of misinformation crap down their throats, exploit them to gather more people to be put
those too in their grasp of control and also bring them money.
The general population needs the JWS like they need cancer of the liver.
By all means write out a DA letter and get your mind back they will only use it to create power and money for themselves.
After all that really was their intension from the beginning and it hasn't changed a whole lot.

Oh jeez unbaptized you haven't been reading Watchtower magazines have you now ?
You are going to sour your intellect with that kind of informative information.
I would instead follow avishai advise and start to study history in the middle ages for example
it will become apparent that the end times should have really happened back then.
The total cost of ignorance can never be understated for an individual or humanity.
Your local libary has some free books there for you to do some research, try it some time you might like it .

I have virtually no respect for the so-called legal system since it is about power, money, and the prison-industrial complex.
I'm not to sure thats a correct assumption thats its only about money, most of the governments of the land know very well
that if they legalize marijuana, they could heavily tax its sales and production and gain financially well from it, but its the end user ,
the general population that they are accountable for in the long run. There is already one very deadly product out there thats open and legal
to the consumers and thats of course alcohol, its acknowledged clearly of what kind of damage that product has already caused, should we put
another one out there and make it even more easier for people to abuse it.
Some folks hold the position that well I'm not the one that would abuse it, so let it be legal then , everyone else can go f..ck themselves.
If pot was maybe the same strength as it was back in the 60's and it maintained that or couldn't be grown to something stronger,
it would very well to me and perhaps others to make it legal and stop the criminality of as it stands today.
Some the reasons why I stopped smoking it was it just got too darn expensive and it got too darn strong, smoking half a joint of BC bud
will turn you into giggling zombie for hours. ( not that necessarily a bad thing )

Legalize it and I imagine it will be alot harder for you to get pot in the hands of minors.
I'm not too sure about that Purps, there is always the taking or stealing out of someones stash
either from parents or an older sibling.
Another problem that persists is people who are constant users of pot as it is now and it is alot stronger than it used
to be, tend to carry on with a irresponsible lifestyle socially in work and their personal lives. This is my observation from people
that have been known to be constant or perhaps casual users of pot, maybe a case of people being too laid back and not caring for
themselves or the people that they associate with.

Well its true Dave that there are many institutionalized products that are sold in the market place that are known to have dire effects
on to the consumers and there have been recent changes for example of saturated fats being removed from the consumption chain.
I know it hits at are civil liberties to consume what we what to consume, I guess the question comes in do we bring something that has
a bad consequences for the greater population in a whole where a substance is more than likely going to be abused just like alcohol is. ?
And it can be assured that there would be a storm of young people that would be the target consumers just the way alcohol is marketed to.
Thats an absolute given .
The very root cause of the problem is young people experimenting with substances , its been said that marijuana is a gateway drug to more
harder drugs like cocaine and heroin and I would have to agree with that, just to use an example there was a Television journalist program
recently done on the Drug invested streets of Vancouver focusing on prostitutes who were drug attics and everyone said they first started
with pot and then they moved on to the more harder drugs like crack cocaine and heroin. So introducing even more people to pot could
very well create more people users of the more harder drugs and potentially create attics of those drugs.
So should we then have an attitude of apathy and say well its their own darn fault for starting into hard drugs.
As for myself I probably wouldn't have tried acid and cocaine if I hadn't first been a casual pot smoker, it goes with norm I guess.
Like I've said before there are consequence to be considered legalizing pot, the people that make theses kinds of decisions
have to consider them all, and not only just the responsible mature people like me or yourself.
By the way I support the use of marijuana for medical reasons.
