I just hope that the moderators notice that dennisk aka "the opinionated one" has shown self restraint (due to recent meditative techniques) and not participated in this heated topic.

I'm curious if the people who say all these bad things about pot have experienced what it's like to be high.

I am glad to see that the younger users of this forum seem to be the wise and responsible people in this debate.

Doing drugs is wrong and illegal. People doing drugs can say whatever they want to convince themselves otherwise; they are gonna be the sorry ones.

Are you saying its morally wrong?  Who are you, or who am I, to impose morals on anybody?  It might be a good idea for people to rethink what they define as drugs..how many of you drink coffee and know the effects that it has on brain function with habitual use?  Do some research and you'll find that most of the common over the counter prescription drugs and the drugs that are legally available for recreational use are much more harmful than some of the "illegal" drugs we're talking about....AND they are more addictive as well. Think caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, pain killers, sleeping meds, etc.  the list goes on.

Marmot, WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL DON"T YOU UNDERSTAND?

i'm not proud to talk about it,  but just so that boggers don't think i'm talking out of my my friend... YES.  that includes more elicit drugs like coke, meth, red devils, hash, shrooms, and cid.  ALL DURING MY DON'T GIVE A SH*T YEARS.  so you fools who ask what the big deal is, come back to me in 10 years and lets talk and compare experiences and principles.  then we'll talk about how happy you are where you're at, but for now, like i said before carry on and learn from your own experience...i just hope you're lucky enough like i was, to get out of it in one piece.

i've got friends who only do pot. i find they can't get through a week without reefin and when they come down, they lose motivation to do anything.

marijuana may not be coke or meth or heroin, but when it becomes part of your daily life, nothing good comes out of it.when addiction hits, people who smoke erb make it routine to plan their next score, just like trying to decide what to have for dinner.

so down play it or compare it to lesser drugs like cigarettes.  doesn't matter. if you need it for whatever reason and don't care of its legal status...you've achieved the status of a DRUG ADDICT, only living from the FLIP SIDE (wealthier plane) from the addicts of EAST SIDE.

It's illegal.

Doug, WHAT PART OF MY POST DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?  Im not commenting on the comment of legality, Im commenting on the "wrong" or "right" of it.  Read and think before you react, please.

Since when does legal/illegal equate to right/wrong?  Not everything that is illegal is wrong, and not everything that is legal is right.  Its obvious to anybody with a grain of intelligence.

[marmot]

Im sure youre a decent and educated guy but if you consider cigarettes a "lesser" drug...and i take your meaning to be less harmful, you really need to give your head a shake.  I didnt think there was a person left on this planet that actually thought that cigarette use doesnt lead to cancer and a whole host of other health problems...AND they are farrrr more addictive than many illegal recreational drugs.

In that case "Do I think it is wrong to smoke pot next to others and subject them to the smell if they are bothered by it?"  YES
                 "Do I think its wrong to have such liberal attitudes about a drug thus possibly setting a bad example to kids?" YES
                 "Do I think its wrong to start smoking pot just to get a buzz or high and most likely impairing my ability to operate a motor vehicle?"  YES

Note that I did not comment on any legalities.

Marmot, I'm sure you are a decent guy yourself but you can't convince me that smoking drugs is right.

[~IvAn~]

Most of the cops will not even charge you if they catch you smoking it.So its not that illegal.
It has been decrimanlized.Get over it people cause its here to stay

Charging you with a summary conviction of possession of  narcotics under 15-30 grams is the least of their worries, when they have other bigger crimes to fight (e.g assaults, domestic violence, murder) It's really up to the discretion of the officer.As for decriminalization....i don't think Bill C-38 made it pass the 3rd reading.

Then I suppose flossing/snagging is not really illegal either then since the (fish) cops are well aware of the problem but do nothing to solve it. I guess we should all just get over that too....

[Youngin]

Well said biff.

[demco99]

Yep flossing isn't technically illegal either, so yeah, you should get over it. Ranting away on the internet 'aint going to change a thing. Nothing quite like somking bud out on the chuck and then tying into a big spring. I find I become a perfectionist about my gear choice, knots, depth etc. Keep smoking boys..

[Pat AV]

I am very surprised by the far right wing views of many on this topic.

Quick question for all of our American contributors what is your opinion on the war on drugs and how do you think it is working?
