NJ Passes Medical Marijuana

as i said before, i am undecided whether it should be street legal....

BUT... if we want to help the economic crisis, make it legal. start growing it and have govt taxes on the stuff. And using hemp for all kinds of resources... would stimulate many industries.

 

In my opinion, any hallucinogen, depressant, stimulant, etc other than like caffine or something present in normal foods and drinks is a crutch, and a person who gets so bent out of shape over the prospect of not having it is a weak individual. Maybe you have a crappy job and "need to let off steam," or you're just a cool 20-something with one of those nefarious, ever-hip "open minds," whatever, but if you can't handle life sober, then you're weak. Simple as that. You're a slave to a temporary moment of artificial relief.

 

i don't use it, but i see no reason why it shouldn't be legalized altogether. especially with alcohol still being legal. and like others have said it could generate a lot of taxes. i am surprised it hasn't been legalized, because honestly it's pretty mediocre as far as severity goes.

 

did you hear about the guy who over dosed smoking pot? yeah me either..legalize it.

 

here's a question for the legalization folks: are you cool with full legalization with some restrictions like must be over 21 and no driving under the influence? or must legalization happen with no conditions?

 

On this one I know a bunch of guys who live in poverty because they would rather smoke than quit and get a good job (most good jobs do testing). That says something.

 

Good replies. Most of those same guys who won't quit to get better jobs are dead set against applying DUI laws and that infuriates the piss out of me.

I don't know enough about how long THC affects to body so I can't really comment on the testing but I'm Guessing the booze is fast and shorter acting where as THC could impair for longer periods. That would be huge in health care (where I work) since you really wouldn't want your surgeon a little stoned as he cut into you.

 

I miss the 'high' i used to get from the 70s weed. Acapulco Gold FTW!!

 

Years later and NJ has one medical marijuana patient in the whole effing state . . . . C'mon Christie step up and let us get our medicine . . . legally

 

Every proposed location to host a "marijuana store" has been met with protests from the local town's citizens, and the town board vetoes the deal. I think there is one up north currently. One.

These retards......... They have liquor stores and bars all over the place but they think marijuana dispenseries are going to bring in the rift-raft and crime??

There was one proposed in Maple Shade, and the residents were outraged. Meanwhile, Maple Shade is two minutes from one of the largest open-air drug areas in the country - Camden, and five minutes from THE Largest open-air drug area in the country - North Philadelphia(specifically the West Kensington/Fairhill neighboorhoods). All of their kids are on dope, but they are worried about medical marijuana dispenceries.......plus NJ has the strictest regulations.

OMG, NJ might become like California. Yeah, so what? Real horror stories coming from California. But people might rob the weed stores. Yeah so, they rob banks too. Should we outlaw money because banks get robbed.

 

what are you high right now??? there is no "A" in definitely. lol. I kid, I make that mistake too.
