drugs are bad mkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
actually compare weed to alcohol/cigarettes weed doesnt harm your body just change the way you feel, beer and smokes kills your lungs cells and liver
i don't do either.
the whole key to legalization is just HOW much money can THEY make off it....
they make more money bustin ppl for it so probably it wont ever be legalized...
and alcohol and tobacco: those types of corps basically run the country now so there is no half steppin them
phillip morris aint gonna sell no marlboro GREENS for 20 bucks a pack son; noumsayn? not when jorge or ( insert favorite friend/dealer here) has some kush around the corner for a benjamin an OZ.
you see this constantly in every state: DRY COUNTIES!
wtf you thinik they get their revenue from to promote city projects and re-electrons?
they get it from busting ppls ass coming from the county net to them in roadblocks and taking their beer /weed away then going smoke it themselves.. plus give you a steep ass fine that is going to nothing but the judges pocket and/or the fund they have setup to throw POPO balls n shit.
its a total catch -22 in this country. yeah its illegal for you; but for us... ITS PARTY TIME! i say fuck em all
My friend lives in la it ez as hell to get a prescription
Like say to doc "hey doc i'm depressed and need a perscription"
No test no nothing its a joke, and you shud see how much that joke makes you laugh.

Some interesting posts in this thread. Just to dispel a few things..
Getting a prescription for marijuana is not quite as easy as you'd think. It depends entirely on your doctor and their personal beliefs. Those who view weed in a positive light are more likely to prescribe while those who view it strictly for it's medicinal purposes are much more strict.
And it's not like you can walk into the Dr's office ahead of time as ask about their policies towards weed.
Gov't does make some money from fines and tickets associated with "busting" people who possess. However, if they were to legalize it they'd make MUCH more in the long run because they'd have two major sources of Revenue.
1. The most obvious revenue is Taxes. Make it a legal product, contract companies to grow/harvest/sell according to gov't guidelines, and tax it. They could even go as far as to tax different strains at different rates, so you'll pay more tax on higher grade weed then you would on lower grades.
2. Busting illegal growers. Simply institute regulations on marijuana growing (think USDA for weed) and create a license that must be carried to sell. Those found growing out of regulation face severe fines as do those caught selling without a license. Now Joe Dealer either has to pay yearly for a license to sell or face possibly losing all his profits trying to sell something that people can easily go to the store for. Growers would now face losing money out of pocket in addition to their crops being taken and most likely used for the commercial product.
It would basically create too much of a financial risk for underground sales.
Then all you have to do is institute laws of use (i.e. Must be 21 yrs old; Can't drive under the influence; Can't use on public property... etc) and boom. Legal weed for the stoners and extra income for the Gov't.
It would also free up some space in the prisons by no longer having to imprison people for pot crimes.
i honestly don't care if it's legal or not. i'm still gonna buy and smoke it. they can deem it super legal or super illegal. big whoop to me.
In LA I'm telling you if you "know" which doctor to go to. Which if I lived there I dont think it would be to hard to "know" the right one. You can walk in there and tell him just about anything and get one. Trust me it is not hard at all. It would take no research whatsoever to get a legal perscription there.
I thought the same thing cuz I was facinated by the entire process. He told the doctor he was depressed, and that canibus eases his anxioty, thats it. No test no nothing. You walk into the shop, which they are everywhere if you know what symbol to look for above the door. Glass case, symilar to a skateshop showcasing wheels and trucks. And they are all on display, pick which one you want (which they are named kinda funny names like purple oey gooey not xl5d88 or anything) they are not like dirt cheap either, pretty standard pricing going up to very expensive. And in smaller amounts they are packaged in pill containers like you get normal prescriptions in. But the tags are handwritten not spit out of a printer. Its not like there are tiedie dudes sparkin spliffs with pimp hats on (although that would rock) there are normal people, business people, black, white, mom dad you name it. And you are also alloud to grow like 2 or 3 plants at your house. Its no joke and yes it is VERY VERY EZ

I know the process SignGuy, I'm from Los Angeles, and have friends who've gotten the prescription.
By no means are their crazy background checks or anything, but it's certainly not a situation where you just walk into any Dr's office and say "I'm sick I need some weed" and poof, there's your prescription.
I'm not saying your friend's lying, just that it doesn't work like that on a normal basis.
yeah, me i got plans. Im in sports so i get randomly tested. They search for steroid traces so potheads usually pass IF they mark the thing on the slip saying "ive been around a person who uses marijuana"
I was weary of trying it but now i praise my friend for introducing it to me. Havent lit up in 2 months but hope he get some weed for the summer
The costs associated with keeping minor drug offenders in lock up is mind boggling. What a waste of taxpayer money...

Well that's just not true. I'm pretty sure it's been proven that weed actually messes your lungs/throat up faster then cigarettes do, the only difference is that people smoke way more cigarettes then they do, say, joints. So, you're doing it less so it's not effecting you as fast. Unless you're smoking out of a vaporizer, if you smoke weed as much as the average smoker smokes cigarettes, you're lungs would be pretty messed up.
I'm not against legalization by the way, just saying.
they are talkin about like 50 an ounce..
like greenlake said it doesnt matter too much to me cause ill do it anyway but it still would be nice if you could do it without any worry ya know?
Have fun with testicular cancer!
yeah, my vaporizer is a life saver.... literally haha
little info on the lungs:

bunch of stuff at the bottom:

i wasn't aware you could get testicular cancer from weed....
Im all for the legalization of natural weed key word being natural. FYI I dont smoke, by personal choice. But anyone who says Ol' Mary Jane has no affect on the body is an ignoramus. Im really curious to see where this goes. Because something like this could very well pull California out of the sorry state its in.
All pot heads Im rootin for ya.
Im Already Is.
yeah but who smokes 20+ joints a day? I smoke a LOT and it still doesn't compare to smoking dirts. but for sure, use a vaporizor when you can. the Volcano saved my life!
Its more long term affects than anything, But you why live for tommorow when you can die today... Right lol
Im Already Is.
i totally agree. i'd like to see it nationally decriminalized before its developed as a GNP, taxed and sold. Lets see just how much money we save by not processing the stoner for 48 hours of lock up.
and i've been avoiding buying a vaporizer for year... well... not avoiding
i've just never been at a head shop with enough disposable income to justify buying it.
but i think if i'm gonna be a lifer, i might as well make the investment, if for anything else, my health. (and the fact that its the most potent way of getting THC into your system. something like 96% makes it into your system; 2nd best was bong at 67%)
sorry for the 2x post
honestly, it payed for itself in under a month, compared to a pipe you need like 1/8 for a vaporizer, plus no smoke saves the lungs, and they're just so convienient, they're portable, odorless, descrete ect
not sure where you read those figures...but i dont think they're entirely accurate....
according to the research papers ive read on it, the thc intake benefit is slightly higher than smoking....the primary reasons for using them are little to no smoke (when used properly) and the fact that not as much ""drifts away" so to speak...
if i ever go back to tweeds though, it'll be with a vapo
probably homemade though..(no not cheapo homemade, my roommate is a mechanical engineer working on his doctorate....think better than Volcano quality, and built for around $100 tops)
I was just pointing out that its still bad for you. And by the way, I try to tell people about Volcanoes all the time, and you are the first person that knows what it is, ha ha.
haha i saw one of those on super high me. I wondered what the fuck that was cuz it inflated a HUGE bag with smoke and he sucked it all in
it was on an episode of mythbusters on TLC, or Discovery, or whatever educational network it comes on.
but, in all honesty, i could have heard the figures wrong. after all, i was high when i watched it
of all the studies i've looked at, that would definitely be the upper end of it. But very modestly speaking, by vaporizing instead of smoking, you are getting well over double the dose of the active ingredient...it was on an episode of mythbusters on TLC, or Discovery, or whatever educational network it comes on.
but, in all honesty, i could have heard the figures wrong. after all, i was high when i watched it
Nothing in the world will ever make as much since as this.
Im Already Is.
ive never found the need to get into drugs.
i mean ive thought about it but i see no point.
i know it feels good or whatever but its like..you smoke up and then your just a waste product for the rest of the day.
not to mention your down a couple bucks..
it will never pass for the sole reason that the taxes on it will be ridiculous; and instead of paying that money you can go next door or upstairs and get some shwag from joe schmoe for a 20 spot. its bad enough to pay a c note for some kush; when the gov gets ahold of it it will then become a buck fitty or even 2 bens.........
they make more money off it anyways now busting ppl for it through court costs and bail money.... so why would the gov take a step back when they are making theirs right now as it is?
i mean they are already talking about taxing smokes 1.50 per pack now ( and they sell them tens of millions per week)...... just how much you think a dub is gonna cost once they gets involved?
Every time a Judge sees a case that costs the Gov't money. And to get bail'd out you only need to put up 10% of total bail.
I invite you to read my previous posts. Trust me when I say the Gov't would make MUCH more by legalizing it.
