    Who said Decriminalization wouldnt mean wouldnt mean lower prices either? The risks would be to a very low minimum either way...

    i have to totally disagree on this point... i've spoken to former heroin addicts that have told me cigarettes(tobacco) is tougher to quit than heroin... i myself was a cigarette smoker and i shit you not... goin without weed for a month or so was a alot easier than tryin to go without cigarettes for a day... people depend on the short stimulant rush of cigs... keeps them calm keeps them awake... same with alcohol... i've seen alcohol addiction... and its no where near marijuana smokin is at... people will nickle and dime for a bottle of wild turkey or mad dog 20/20... if anything... i can say at least theres nothing less addictive than marijuana... i can personally say i've met people who FEEL they need to get high every day... and i guess that addictive... but they wont fuckin go nuts over it

    Obviously there are enough growers to support all the other smokers, because they do it right now. Everything would go on the same as always, except if they caught you with it you wouldn't be as fucked.

    Thats right man! so many people would grow if it were totally legal.

    Joker man, i think there is some kind of official study that says cigs are more addictive than opiates. Congrats on quitting!

    Does any one else share my opinion that everyone is addicted to something?

    I define addiction as something that is not needed to live, but that someone feels they cannot live without. So it doesnt have to be a substance.

    The more you think about it, everyone is addicted to something, you can get addicted to almost anything, its part of human nature and by no means always bad. I think religion would be the most common addiction.

    pot isnt pysically adictive, but someone could come to depend on it, or, say... cable TV.

    y'all just got me thinkin! peace.

    Decrim is a total bitch move. No compromise brother. Quit the heady meanderings and wake up to reality. Rules are created by other lessr beings. We should change that and not on a compromise. It's wrong, period. Quit trying to act like the baby and stand up!

    Peace, love yall.

    THE REV0LUTION HAS BEGUN.

    Fuck that we have to legalize it. We specifically need to legalize personal cultivation then the government would never touch any of the organic goodness I can and lots of other people can personally produce. If they legalize it, they will tax it, but they will also open the door so that people can grow their own. Then you can get it for free, and gauge what pesticides, etc. touch your buds. Its the best way to go. Plus I don't feel like having my herb confiscated and being fined whenever a cop finds my stash. Sure its better than jail but if it were legal then I can keep it and puff it down. The way its supposed to be.

    SirTokesAlot.... i agree with u with saying "taking part in something illegal is half the fun" (although maybe only 20% of the fun?) and i dont know y every one blew up on u for saying that even though i would give up the risk part of smokeing weed in a second if i could smoke without risk lol... as far as legal status goes, i think either decriminalization OR legalization would be a great step forward... either one, just hope one or the other comes soon ;)

    Yeah everyone who freaked on him for that comment was just being stupid. You honestly can't deny that it gets your adrenaline pumping to be doing something that's not only illegal, but for the most part considered morally wrong in our society. It makes you feel like a rebel, and some people are just too busy being "mature" and thinking they're better than everyone else to accept the fact that it being illegal is part of the fun. Although, like you said, I'd be fucking happy as hell if there wasn't any legal risk.
