Sure it is. Don't like it? Start collecting signatures and get it on the ballot.

No, it isn't. The government made it illegal, it was not passed before the people as a vote.

The government made the law, it was not the people. You seem to have a problem following the progression of what someone is refuting.

NUKE.

my point exacty.

"in the end, social law wins over governmental law."

we need to nurture our society to rely less on government and more on its people to take the initiative to self regulate.

i may have expressed it poorly but hey...

i am stoned.

j/k.

Not at all. He was correct. Politicians are representatives of the people. If they continue to get elected, obviously they are representing appropriately. They are an extension of their constituents.

Even so, if ALL the representatives go rogue and pass legislation before you can remove them, then you still have options.

collect signatures. If that measure fails, then it looks like it was the will of the people after all.

It's actually the will of the government, they had a very pro-active campaign in educating on drugs that are now illicit these days to make them illicit. The people were given information through scare tactics to form opinions that would align with the government's.

Heh. Ok.

Are people still brainwashed? Why don't they legalize it now?

well... it's not a "spice" and shouldn't be treated as such..

That being said, I have no problem with people getting stoned on whatever drug they choose no matter what harm it brings to them.

I simply don't want to be on the same road with them or work beside them or... even have to listen to em.

Fact is.. the image of the pot smoker fits the actual people who are the "advocates" of legal pot... they are stoner losers who you wouldn't want on the same road with you. Their tie dyed red eyed advocacy on "medical" grounds makes them look like dishonest losers to boot.

They are. Have you missed the 'This is my anti-drug' media? It's on all the time.

I don't think it should be legalised anyway, just decriminalised. For "saving" lives by making it illegal and carrying a stiff penalty, the laws effectively destroy anyone's future who gets caught with marijuana now-a-days.

The punishments aren't all that bad. Most people I know have ended up with 1 year probation, deferred so it drops off their record if they don't screw it up. Best friend got nailed with 20 pills (X) & 2 ounces of pot in his car (the pills weren't even his, but the owner was with him). They both got 5 years probation + fines + a few thousand community service hours. The pot charges were dropped completely, even after those 2 ounces weighed in at 3 1/2.
