so thousands of people have gathered in the US states of Washington and Colorado to celebrate cannabis culture as voters in both of these states have approved ballot iniatives to allow personal use of marijuana by anyone aged 21 or older for the purposes of getting high?? What is the world coming to, have there not been various studies done where drug use has been associated with mental illness not to mention the dangers and as for America with having strict regulations in place im really surprised, cannot see the logic in this whatsoever!!

That's not all, for the first time since polls have been conducted now more Americans than not favor legalizing marijuana nationally. http://www.gallup.com/poll/165539/first-time-americans-favor-legalizing-marijuana.aspx
Good, it should be legalised.
Will it be acceptable in court "Yes I shot the man dead but my mind was altered due to being stoned off my little twig."
They are missing a big trick. Didn't the state of Colorado bring in $2 million during the first few months of it's legal status?
Not sure that'd be popular in the southern states, where there'd probably be an increase in the amount of illegal, tax-free, marijuana smuggled in from Mexico, and all the crime and violence associated with it.
Yeah, because that never happens now
Under the current arrangement, drugs laws are reserved to Westminster.
That's the point. The poster is saying that Salmond should say "vote for independence then I can legalise weed".
Welcome to democracy.
It's no different to meeting someone drunk in a bar who is carrying a gun - that's the US for you. Everyone's packing.
And if you take ANYTHING from that analysis don't you think it'd be better to ban guns rather than cannabis?
I mean, really, THIS is your point?
and is it now acceptable in court to claim "Yes I shot the man dead but I was drunk."
Because people there would rather be customers of foreign paramilitary forces, than regulated local businesses?
Not really. The difference attributable to taxes wouldn't be big enough to overcome the transport and smuggling costs. Much of it is already illegally grown domestically in the US already.
An odd comment coming from someone named Jesse Pinkman.
Regarding legalisation, in half the states you can pay a dr $100 and get a script and buy cannabis under the guise of medicinal use.
I think governments should be far more concerned about the illnesses, chronic conditions and addictions being created through chemical prescription. If you have a pain, if you have an uncomfortable emotion, if you feel anxious, etc, it is now quite 'rational' to go to the dr and get a pill. Unless a person has a real chemical imbalance, the prescription of these strong substances really hampers a person's ability to meet life and deal with it in more practical ways.
I can see it now.
Yo Bitch! I have given all that stuff up now since a very nasty incident with a machine gun. I'm now in Alaska building wooden boxes and have been clean for a year now.
I even have a girlfriend who has stayed alive longer than 6 months!
As per legalisation in other countries, when it happens here no doubt smoking cannabis in a public place will be banned.
Worth bearing in mind as well that a lot of people aren't that happy about e-cigs being banned in public areas, so that might easily not happen. I know we don't live in a fantastic democracy but that's not to say we live in North Korea either.
LOL
legalise it I say
It 's total sales exceeded 5 million in the first week
14 million in it's first month
indeed
