Umm actually an oz. of pot is technically legal to have for an adult 21 years or older in Denver. It was voted on in the last elections. Its still kinda foggy what that means though because its illegal by federal laws still. I think since that law was passed a lot fewer people have gotten in trouble with pot, but you still can get charged with possesion. Well... its a step in the right direction anyways! Some other cities around have put possesion of pot at the "lowest level of importance" which i guess means that they arent going to go looking for people, etc. Well with all these laws coming around, who knows?! It could be legal soon!
Yea there was this big thing right after it was passed because this guys thought it was legal to have it, so when he got pulled over he just told the cop he had some and got arrested, the guy did end up getting the charges dropped, but i think the whole situation kinda confused everyone.
It takes the people to make it happen folks! All of you doubters and nay sayers, you're apart of the apathy that keeps things "the way they are." As a journalist with my ear to the ground, I feel it coming you guys, it's going to happen if we stand up and get behind the movment. The movement is way underway are you going to be a part of the progress? Why complain, try to do something about it. The law enforcement on the ground, now with the huge crisis of meth, they are learning more and more what not a problem marijuana is. Our local chief of police said, 75% of calls they get are alcohol related, "society decided to not accept marijunana, but we did accept alcohol, so that's what we're left dealing with." The ones that know anything know the reports from domestic violence shelters that marijuana decreases violence. More and more it's becoming more accepted, but it's up to the marijuana supporters to follow it through and make it happen. No one's going to do if for you. All of our rights someone has had to fight for them, they weren't just handed to us. Though we may only learn about the bosses wars in traditional school, there are many other wars fought in each of our towns and cities by our fellow workers and community.
Unfortunately, the US government would have to admit it has locked up tons of people over something idiotic first. We can dream. :H
yeah, pride is such a major factor in this whole thing too. personally, i'm with those that just want it decriminalized... I don't care if it's not the same as alcohol, hell, i wouldn't want to lose a lot of the underground culture that weed has... but decriminalization would make a lot of people's lives much, much better.
Fucking dumbass crackhead. I wasn't fucking talking to you so unless it was directed to you I suggest you shut your mother fucking queer ass.
Your new here, so Ill let you in on a little secret. These are FORUMS, and since you havnt realized already - they are meant to be seen by everyone, and the shit people say in them are meant to be seen and responded by anyone who wants to. Otherwise we would just have one big website of Private Messeges, right? And as for what you called me, Im just gonna let it go because the maturity level on what you said is just way below something I really want to put up a fight against.
I think Denver isn't legal. From what I read, the people voted for the local government to de-criminalise it, but the federal government or whatever threw out the law. Might be wrong though.
Geez, geez, geez. You need to calm down. I'm a girl, btwww. And I never said it would or wouldn't be legal, 'cause I don't know. If you had some faith and were not such a hard head, you'd understand where everyone was coming from.
I sure hope your not calling me a dumbass. Never once have I said I think marijuana is going to be legal, If you would have actually read what I posted, you wouldnt be speaking to "all the pissing contestent 15-yr olds". Sure, I have faith.. but you cant expect me to believe that congress will just drop everything and say "fuck it, lets make it legal". Please LOOK UP the definition of LEGAL. Like someone said before, stop fighting a losing war and just shoot for decriminalization (which means reduced penatlies, etc), and MAYBE, just MAYBE in that time people will realize the threat is too small to keep illegal. OR, just smoke it. Thats right, just smoke it... because every time you smoke it IMO, thats my/your own way of protesting.
Why? Its a reoccuring subject that people like to be all gung-ho about... Im simply responding to it. You dont seem to realize this is a FREE FUCKING SPEECH forum... nothing is dropped.
man you guys need to chill out, everyone's on the same side, we all like to get stoned haha, so lets all just take our bowls take one big hit and dream about when we can do it without having to worry about being harrassed by cops.
haha were is dj? (implicitly, this means that you should part your legs a few inches. this would solve the problems this thread is having. im only saying this for the good of the thread)
faith is the beginning of change, both positive as negative you know what we should do? we should emigrate with all stoners to a certain country. legalize it and let the rest of the world go under in it's shitty problems, hahaha
