Moderators hazelnut Posted January 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 1, 2014 Stores allowed to sell cannabis from 1st January (dubbed green wednesday) The sale of the drug will be taxed in the same way as alcohol, and state officials have said they expected it to raise millions http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25566863 Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted January 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm not a smoker and when I was I never tried this stuff, but for it's pain relieving properties alone it should be legal. People who need it will always get it, so why not cut out the black market completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've personally never touched it. I do however think as Dennis pointed out it's pain relief could be beneficial to many people, and probably safer with less side-effects or dangers than many prescription pharmacy drugs.

Winapp2.ini Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Never been particuarly interested myself, but legalization and taxation are way better than prohibition in my opinion (especially since prohibition doesn't work!) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 And the extra tax revenues are also VERY welcome for ANY government, right ? Uruguay did something similar in december 2013 http://rt.com/news/uruguay-legalizes-sale-marijuana-987/ I have to make a tough choice: Do I move to Colorado or Uruguay ?

Derek891 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think it's only a matter of time before the politicians in Colorado will come up with an even more brilliant idea: if you turn in your gun, you get a free bag of marijuana. Note: Using the words "brilliant" and "politician" in the same sentence is considered to be an oxymoron here in the U.S.A.. Start every day with a smile and get it over with. - W.C.

LuLu Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Personally, I think it should only be available to those who need it for medicinal purposes and smoking it in public should not be allowed. It smells horrid, makes me sick and I loathe going to concerts and night time events where I'm forced to breathe it in. I'm here. What are your other two wishes?

Moderators Andavari Posted January 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2014 I loathe going to concerts and night time events where I'm forced to breathe it in. So you could flunk a drug test based upon the secondhand breathing of it. Regardless of what laws are passed many employers still aren't going to have pot smokers working for them since many require getting a drug test to work for them and then people are subjected to random drug tests while working for them. To many employers drug use goes hand in hand with thievery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not a big fan of the smell myself, I guess the solution will have to be to stay inside more on the computer if it gets legalized in New York. oh woe! winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasgandy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 For me it's "medical purposes only", no smoking in public places, smoke it at your own place, Governments can and should charge high taxes, stiff fines if caught driving within 12 hours of smoking it. We can only hope that legal control and sales will put the illegal trade out of business.

Moderators Nergal Posted January 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2014 I actually consider you a top notch moderator of this site. Do you smoke weed 24/7? I'll leave you to wonder on that on your own time, the circles where I come from such a query would be considered quite out of sorts. That said did you know that white and non-white answer yes to that voluntary line of questioning in equal proportions; yet non-white arrests for small personal usage are double (or more depending on the locale). That these arrests can permanently damage a person's credibility, credit ratings and ability to get certain jobs. Anyway, not trying to evangelize...I stayed out of this thread on purpose. But if there was a release of prohibition, you would notice it's existence no more nor less than you do today ,after a cooling off period (see the 1930s).

login123 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think so too. Any sort of consciousness altering drug is incompatible with driving.
