Same for growing, up to I think it is 3 plants. Not a criminal offence.

Course, never having lived in a city in which pot IS a criminal offence, I can't say really how Adelaide's decriminalisation of pot has benefited society in comparison to somewhere else...


When did this happen?


It's been like this as long as I can remember.

Well, as long as I've been aware of the existence of pot.

Either way, there'll be an increase in amount of drug users and thus, accidents. When alcohol was outlawed, there were less alcohol users.

Well obviously if you cut off the source of something, less people are going to use it. That's pretty obvious. Regardless of whether alcohol was banned or not, if less of it was made less people would consume it. Yes, people could be in deep trouble if they were caught selling/consuming the stuff, but the stuff was hard to get anyways and the prices, I assume, were higher.

Law of supply and demand, in a sense.

The United States needs more money. Legalize pot and tax the hell out of it. Simple.

On the humane side:

Marijuana isn't addictive, though. At least, it has no addictive chemicals, I believe.

Well, Bookreader. I'm counting your "stupid useless waste of human filth" and hateful rhetoric as something along a borderline flame. I'm trying to tone down flying anger around here. So please be a little more considerate.

Well, the hell thing is okay by me. I'll only bother with language when I get complaints or feel that it has REALLY stepped over the bounds.

No the fact that you said "I hate all potheads" really angers me, as I and other members of this board, use cannibus. What you have encountered are idiots. There are idiots everywhere. Basically, you've attacked a lifestyle choice that is becoming increasingly common (and there really isn't anything wrong with it). What you are saying is effectively "I hate black people, because I met an idiot who is black. Fucking blacks".

The urge of sarcasm is too great.

Yeah, that's pretty much generalizing, which really is unfair, considering marijuana can't really do shit to you after you've taken it.

My only real problem with potheads is that pot slows the mind down (cause misfires in the brain or something, I don't remember the exact science behind it), so it's almost like they are deliberately making themselves stupid. I

In my experience it doesn't so much slow the mind down, but accelerates it, causing confusion and introversion, it tends to cut off connections between the brain and the outside world.
