Answer 1

This site will tell you everything you need to know about the fight for marijuana law reform: Extraterritorial and major domestic deployments

http://www.norml.org/

NORML, or the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, is working hard to educate everyone about marijuana. There are a few states who have the chance this November to vote on marijuana reforms. The site has it all.

Answer 2

The fight for legalization is still waging on. I have to say this after seeing some of the answers here, especially the anti remarks, "I hope you aren't a drinker putting down pot smoking because if you are, you are one dumb hypocritcal individual. Drinking has caused more problems individually and socially and taken more lives than pot will ever even come close to! It would be nice to have an alternative to drinking and since there are and have been a large number of responsible adults who have indulged for years, why not make it legal. Wage your war on the real drugs, the addictive man-made drugs; meth, heroin, and cocaine."

Answer 3

So long as marijuanna is illegal, then our children, even for experimentation, will have to become aquainted with the dealer who trades in cocaine, heroine, guns, prostitution and other ventures. That is how , as they say, marijuanna leads to worse things. You make it available from nicer people, still doesn't mean its legal to be impaired completely unconstrained.
Once its out of the hands of criminals, then and only then society studies the negative aspects of such a recreational drug and how to address them.
Marijuanna has been legalized and criminalised many times before so I believe there is a pattern that predicts its legalization again.

Answer 4

I personally think it should be legalized, however I believe it should be regulated like alcohol. I did hear that one of the smaller states is allowing Marijuana to be possessed, but only in very small doses, I think it was either Vermont or New Hampshire

Answer 5

I don't know if it is going to be but it makes sence in my opinion, cause you put restrictions on it (Like beer, ciggerettes) and then charge goverment tax and stop trying to prevent the flow of it into the US, and instead just charge them to import.

Sounds like our goverment, Make money selling, Imporinting it and save money on the preventitive measures. Also it would no longer be sold illeagly and dealers could shape normal (taxable buisness)

Answer 6

I do not think that it will ever be legal in the USA,if a
anything the politics are moving in the oposite direction and a fascist attitude against minority groups is growing

ATITUDES IN OTHER COUNTRIES
mild in Canada.used to be legal in Alaska.in Autralia you can have a few plants in the garden,In South Africa an ounce in your pocket is accepted .In Holland it is sold openly in koffie Bars and the police will direct tourist to safe places to buy.}in England a few years ago it was decrimenalised.
In Marroco it is the culture and all the old men smoke it in the caffees..as in many Arab countries
In Asia in some countries it is a very old part of their culture.
etc. etc.

MEDICINAL
in many countries marijuana is used in rubbung alcohol mostly by old people to relieve body pains especially the limbs.
it is also used for Asthma and nervous disorders
AMERICA
the USA the attitude is dogmatic for other reasons than the narcotic effects of the drug.
before 1920 marijuana was extensively grown by the USA and Mexico for the production of fibre.which made a durable material,cheap and it does not scorch,that was used for all the jeans,ropes,sails for the sailing ships and millions of jute bags that were used by millions of farmers,representing a multimillion dollars business.

after 1920 with the coming of synthetic materials,which were products of the petrolium business ,which were owned by the families or associates of most of the presidents,

this competitive comodity could not be allowed to continue to exist,
and the war on Mariujana was on.

the drug factor although it has been proven beyond doubt by countless tests that it was a relative harmless substance compared to sigarettes,alcohol and others,was blatently ignored and relentlessly the war continued to this day.
although it does worry the church, since people tended to stay up all night and question religious and philosohical beliefs.some times coming to uncomplementary conclusions of what was socially accepted.

alcohol puts people to sleep and they dont question the given standards.


MARIJUANA FIBRE
today Mariujana fibre is making a come back in Europe and Africa and produce designer pantalons and shirts for very high prices because the quality is superior than linnen.

these fibre plants do not produce drugs to speak of and are worthless for the drug market .it is the fibre that is the value.

and organically speaking it is an exelent plant to recuporate tired soils ,after cattle and corn field have practically destroyed the land,because the plant is deep rooted grows on most altitudes,and breaks open or loosens compacted soils as well as secreting nitrogen.

.the stalks can also be converted in to building material such as blocks

P.S the war against Marijuana ,has traditionally been used in Europe,Africa ,USA and Mexico,as an excuse for the Governments to invade peoples privacy,place soldiers and police strategically throughout the countries for control and observation,and to employ more security forces.
American Soldiers are in Mexico today suposedly for Marijuana but the real reasons are more sinister
It also creates the right climate for coruption and abuse of power(which was the norm rather than the exception in South Africa ,during the days of Aparheid ,when it was simple to place a bag of marijuana in some bodies house,who was unpopular with the authorities, in order to arrest or shoot them.)
Note:
i grew up in a drug culture and there was lots of weed around many of my friends still smoke and i am now 62.
for health reasons i dont smoke much any more .
in the early days these transitional drugs were necesary,for great changes in the general mentality,
today in many places,this mentality is here , and in reality the drugs have become obselete .

we wasted a lot of time messing around when we should have been thinking of our future,but at the time the cultural revolution was more important ,but not any more

we have reached what could be reached ,many druggies from the sixties are in leading positions today ,and a lot of changes are in place,(although some countries seem to be going backwards i think, but drugs are not the solution in this case)

my advice to anybody young now is leave the drugs ,alcohol,sigarettes alone ,dont be misled by peer pressure and concentrate on securing a good future.

when you are established and stable ,then is the time to play around with whatever you please ,at least in a democratic concept,

but dont do it when you are young because then you cannot afford to loose the time,and many people of today will look down on you as being a looser
