Linus you are missing the point. If marijuana was legalized there would be no cartels fighting each other, and I don't see why you would think so. Cartels focus on hard drugs, they don't give a damn about marijuana because you can't make the money with pot that you can with hard drugs.

I thought I debunked this in another post... Cartels do operate in marijuana... 1 2 Many companies work in more then one area at a time.... If you still dont see my view, then you obviously didnt pass "Reading Comprehension 101".. because it was explained IN MY LAST POST. |

That's only two cartels. And how much of the weed in this country do you think even comes from any of these cartels? |

linus i think you're missing everyone's point as well... cartels don't put their main focus on marijuana... they may run some... but they don't carry enough to do what you're claiming will happen.

Yeah, hemp products, not growing it.
Right, because normal corporations are in the habit of killing off those that oppose their bills. 
A few points: 1. Most Marijuana is locally grown, at least everywhere I know... 2. Once it is legalized, it can be regulated by the governement in a more managable way, and be taken over by large corporate interests. "Drug cartels" simply won't be able to compete, and even then, it'd be in their interest to go legit. 3. Addressing the OP, I have not seen a single good reason for it to be illegal. The only ones people put forth with any backing are those that are hypocritical unless you also call for the banning of Alcohol, tobacco, and ANYTHING unhealthy or mind altering. |

The crips and bloods did not fight for drug territory for nearly 10 years after they first formed, and the gangs were not even formed for drug related reasons, so please dont use that as an example[/QUOTE]
What is your logic in saying that these people will get attacked?
You missed my point. The people being killed by the drug cartels, what makes them innocent? Aside from the random deaths committed by the people in the cartel that occur during non cartel buisness hours, since those have nothing to do with cartel buisness and would happen anyway, what makes those deaths innocent?

If weed was legal we would have a better world. How many times have any of you been at a concert or sporting event ect. and somewon was really loud obnoxious and violent, where they smoking pot or drinking beer? Pot mellows you out. Way I see it if pots legal we would have a slightly less violent society.

I lol'd, cause George Bush Sr. (I think it was him, tell me the right leader if I'm wrong) was riggidly opposed to hemp. He was shot down/ rescued in a war (again, not sure if it was bush) Heres the funny part:
The fuel lines in his plane, hemp. Parachute componants, hemp, rope/ riggings on boat that pulled him up, hemp. I'll find the source if I can, but I doubt it. |

Linus, find a "cartel" that only sells marijuana. Most of those coke dealers were problably just selling it on the side because it's easy to grow and easy to sell. If it were legalized, they wouldn't start killing people over it. Hell, marijuana would problably start to go bad by the time it was shipped from Mexico to your local area. |

If everything about it were "right," it wouldn't be illegal. Since it is, then it's wrong. Let's not mince words here...what you consider 'right,' others won't. And here's the real kick in the pants for you...Laws are written with the intention of protecting society as a whole...not succomb to the whims of a few. Your personal freedoms don't include draining society of it's resources because you'd rather stone yourself into a purple haze than get a job. (not YOU personally, you as in 'the general populace') It doesn't matter what you and I think...it only matters what the government says...and they say it's illegal and if you get caught, _____ happens to you. Period. All the belly-aching in the world isn't going to change it. Here's another thing to consider...there are way too many people NOW - that are dumb as a brick while running around SOBER...now we should support them when they are dumbed-down even further? No way. I already pay out 28% in taxes to support all the government entitlements...like welfare, food stamps, CHIP (medical stuff like welfare), the estranged-institutional-bound (mental issue), the 500+ lb, obesemonstrosity that can't even get out of bed to urinate, let alone work. You all are not my responsibility. Me and my family are. That's it. I will support the anti-drug laws until my death. There are way too many goof-off-juveniles that can't behave themselves WITHOUT drugs/narcotics...now give them a reason to be more stupid? I don't think so. There's only one good thing about this whole mess...job security for me. Edited by druidsdecendant - 15 May 2006 at 3:51pm |

I'm not sure why everyone is making such a big deal out of this stuff. Just because it's not legal doesn't mean nobody's going to smoke it. If it was legalized right now, I really don't think anything would change exept people would just go to a corner store to get weed and not call up their dealer. As far as I'm concerned, marijuana is as legal as it's ever going to get and I'm not one to change that.
