Whatever...where do you think we get it from? ;)

Marijuana use is becoming more and more acceptable in our society.

LittleBlondeJug: Marijuana use is becoming more and more acceptable in our society.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Scooty_Puff_Sr: LittleBlondeJug: Marijuana use is becoming more and more acceptable in our society.

Not at all! I absolutely believe that marijuana should be legalized.

Alcohol is a depressant, yet it is illegal.

Marijuana is a stimulant, yet it is illegal.

When have you ever seen a belligerent person who was stoned? When was the last time you heard about a belligerent person who was drunk?

Okay, just wanted to be sure. You're preaching to the choir here. (although I believe it is a hallucinogen not a stimulant)

You are most likely correct on it being a hallucinogen, but the rest of my point was correct, I believe.

IgG4: I thought the cops just shake you down and steal your weed in NOLA...

Well they certainly didn't appear to care about alcohol. I was in NOLA when i was 18 and had no problem getting served anywhere in the French Quarter.

LittleBlondeJug: You are most likely correct on it being a hallucinogen, but the rest of my point was correct, I believe.

Either way it seems to make everything better, that's for sure.

You don't want this! (^)

Obnox: You don't want this! (^)

Can't see that here, so not sure what you mean. But my instinct says you are correct. I guess I'll know in about 30 or so.

Absof*ckinglutely.

Legalize weed and tax it.

LittleBlondeJug: You are most likely correct on it being a hallucinogen, but the rest of my point was correct, I believe.

nah you were correct. but so was he. it is classified as a hallucinogen, stimulant, depressant, and intoxicant. truth is, it doesn't really fit neatly into any one category. so, of course, most states put it in the same legal classification as crack and heroin. yay.

Did Dave proofread that shiat he wrote before sending it out for publishing? I don't think so.

My instincts betrayed me. I do want this. Nothing better than that first pull after work. Unfortunately, I'm dry. So sad.

Seriously... when was the last time you saw a stoner beat his wife and kids? That would be never because it just doesn't happen.

Alcohol? Yeah that's a daily beating of wife and kids and pretty much anyone around you.

America is broken in this capacity.

LittleBlondeJug: Marijuana is a stimulant, yet it is illegal.

Marijuana is not a stimulant.

Tax, don't give out tickets. Let it pay for "green" improvements to municpalities.

Give you a ticket for pot possession, if they bother to care at all?

Welcome to Oregon.

/One reason I always come back home.

madmann: Give you a ticket for pot possession, if they bother to care at all?

Welcome to Oregon.

Massachusetts, too. It was voted in by a referendum on the ballot.

jonasborg: Tax, don't give out tickets. Let it pay for "green" improvements to municpalities.

Just to be clear, I agree with you. However, from the city's point-of-view:

(Amount raised from weed fines) > (Amount raised from weed taxes)

Of course, my above formula assumes that they bust every person who smokes up in the City of NO. And good luck with that. It also assumes that every person who smokes up under a "weed-tax" system bought it from a store. As to this assumption, I should point out that I lived here for years before I realized people got weed from places OTHER than the guerilla-farmed levees.

I should also point out that I've smoked up in front of NOPD cops on Toulouse St., who just wanted in on the rotation.

40below: Great, then let's start giving out tickets to murderers and rapists and arsonists and everybody else who breaks a law they don't think should apply to them because it's not "groovy" and stuff.

Naaa... I think we should arrest people who let their parking meters expire.

40below: Great, then let's start giving out tickets to murderers and rapists and arsonists and everybody else who breaks a law they don't think should apply to them because it's not "groovy" and stuff.

Are you a farking moron, or are you just playing one today on Fark?

See, here in the U.S., different crimes have different penalties. Very minor crimes, such as speeding or jaywalking or (depending on the state, marijuana use), have tickets as the punishment.

I know that's a difficult concept for you mongs to grasp up there in your colony, but please try.

jimmyego: I guess I should look it up, but why does a depressant make people energetic, feisty and belligerent, and a stimulant make people eat Cheetos and play Halo?

It's not a matter of depressing or stimulating one's mood, but one's central and/or autonomic nervous systems.

More to the point, though, I had always read of both alcohol and MJ as being depressants. Think about it. What happens when you ingest too much (a bad general rule, but a useful illustration in this case)? With alcohol or weed, your breathing slows, your heart rate slows, etc. With cocaine? Not so much.

One could even argue, by your logic, that crack is a depressant because a high crackhead is damn near unconscious. That just isn't the case, though. It stimulates one's autonomic nervous system, causing greatly increased heart rate, respiration, etc., while under the influence.

40below: Great, then let's start giving out tickets to murderers and rapists and arsonists and everybody else who breaks a law they don't think should apply to them because it's not "groovy" and stuff.

Your illogical strawman argument has inspired me to go club pot-smokers in the street.

Oh wait, actually it just lets everyone know that you are not a fully functioning human being.

Scooty_Puff_Sr: Nothing better than that first pull after work. Unfortunately, I'm dry. So sad.

I'm having to abstain because my parents are threatening to drop by this evening. It's crazy. They support legalization, but they disapprove of those who smoke it. I'm farking 44 years old, and I have to hide my pot from my parents.

/when I was 17 I smoked in front of them

I believe that Marijuana is classified as a "Pyschoactive".

Just like caffeine is.

pathetic

hubiestubert: Good. We waste way too much manpower and money chasing down pot, when there are real criminals that we should be going after...

The only bigger waste of money our than the War on Drugs is the War on Poverty.

That would be 1 down, 3,934,032 victimless crime statutes to go.

Excuse me for not feeling like celebrating.

Interesting. I would've thought that Louisiana (particularly New Orleans) would have a fairly liberal policy about pot. But, looking at the NORML site, Louisiana's pot laws are about as strict as they come. First offense for possession of any amount carries with it a 6 month jail term. No wonder why the DA is pressing for them to lighten up their laws a bit. They've got some of the strictest in the country.

Still, once you hit a certain age smoking pot seems kind of pathetic.

I would deal with someone high any day over someone who is drunk. The guy who smoked a joint isn't going to go from hysterical crying fits to raging fury and try to attack me.

I'm against the recreational use of mind altering drugs of any kind but if you are going to decriminalize a drug marijuana would be the right one. Pot smokers don't drive into farmers markets, steal tanks from National Guard Armories, drive the wrong way on the freeway or lock their kids in the trunk of the car while they smoke.

Now, if we could only get rid of alcohol.

NeauxFear: ...

That's it! I'm goin'! I'm mutherfakrin' goin'!

Uh, I drink almost every day and have never beaten my wife... and only been in one fight while intoxicated (he swung first). Also, I'm a pacifist... so.... wut?
