    Maxman you love to stir the pot buddy ! =@

    Indeed I do Mike.. I must admit. :D But I don't feel this issue Is really stirring the pot. ;) There's lot of folks that are discussing this issue. So I thought why not have people share their opinion(s) here at RWG.

     

    Either you feel that is should be legal...or you feel that It should not be legal. Quite simple actually. :)

    Personally I would legalise all drugs and prostitution.... and manage it like any legal medication and in relation to Prostitution like say Tattoo studios/sex shops etc

     

     

    ...And dont tell me that dont work....because whats been going on for the last 50 years aint working either and at least we can take more control than we are managing now and the revenues that legalising it would bring..

     

     

    War on Terror? My a-rse.....

     

     

    ;) ;)

     

     

    Oh yeah and ban all personal firearms !!!

    :acute:

    Washington and Colorado have now legalized pot. But many politicians are fighting to reverse the laws In these states In regards to making pot legal.

     

    We have booze that's been legal since the discovery of grapes. Except for prohibition which lasted from 1920-1933.....alcohol has always been legal In the US. Although It kills thousands of people a year due to drunk driving....cirrhosis of the liver....alcohol poisoning...etc etc etc. But not only Is alcohol legal It Is encouraged and glorified by the many commercials and adds In general. Oh btw...drink responsibly. :)  The super bowl should be a good example.

     

    Then we have the drugs that many people take legally through their doctors. Narcotic (opiate) pain killer addiction Is ruining peoples lives and killing people everyday. Yes some do need these pain killers and don't abuse them. But many do abuse them and [censored] their lives up really good. I started having problems with my back due to a bulging disk @ theL4 about fifteen years  ago. I was prescribed Percocets for the pain. At first I would take them as needed. Maybe two or three a day. Well that didn't last long. I became addicted to those mother [censored] and would take up to twenty a day... If not more. I was spending a great deal of time and money going to different doctors to get those [censored]. I finally had the disk removed by a really good Neurosurgeon. The disk was removed and so was the pain. But by that time I had a very nasty addiction to those pills. After about a year I said "[censored] this" and stopped taking them. I went through some of most [censored] up withdrawals you could Imagine. I could not sleep for about a week. An hour or two here and there at best. I had the runs for about two weeks....good fun...and I would throw up at any given time. Every bone and muscle In my body was screaming In pain. It took a little over a month to feel somewhat normal again. I have not had a narcotic pain killer since that nightmare. I hope I'm never in a situation where I have to take them again.

     

     Then we have the good old Benzodiazepines like valium Xanax that are prescribed to millions of people. Yes some people need these medications. But more times than not people get addicted to them and the addiction does more harm than the condition they were taking them for originally.  Addiction Is good for business. ;)

     

    Then we have cigarettes. Not much to say here. We all know about the consequences.

     

    But you wont hear any complaints from the folks that make these products. There making a lot of money and business Is good.

     

    But Marijuana Is illegal for the most part In the US. When I was between the ages of 13-18 I use to smoke a little weed from time to  time. The worse thing I remember was the munchies. Supplies were always at the ready. If we didn't have rolling papers or a pipe we would use the center of a toilet paper roll. It worked great. It was like mini bong. I remember my mother asking me where all the toilet paper was going. :lol:   I never craved pot and never experienced any ill effects from It. I also didn't know anyone that had negative experiences from smoking weed. Unless the popo caught them with It. It's true that some will abuse pot. But that could be said about almost anything In life. But In general It Is harmless and It does have a place In the medical community.

     

    Of course this Is just my opinion and experience with Mary Jane.

     

    I was wondering about how the members here felt about this Issue. Should pot be legalized across the country? I say "hell yes". If you don't live In the states.. Is pot legal where you are? If not...do you think It should be?

     

    What say you?

     

    Oh btw....I didn't Inhale. :D

    Some will say...but thats just one person. The women and her baby are very lucky to be alive. A atomatic or semi auto will do much more damage at one time. But put these types of attacks that kill and maim thousands every year.

     

    Have you seen the resent news about people pushing people on to subway tracks. Several of them killed by the subway or the third rail.

     

    I'm thinking we should ban knifes and subways. If people want to commit carnage they will. Banning auto weapons will not resolve the problem.

     

    So Obama says no magazines with more than seven. So a person brings three or four and now what?

    I would bet good money If those teachers had a gun the outcome would most likely be much different. Same could be said for many of the mass shootings In resent memory. If the bad guys have guns then the good guys should have them also.

     

    We live In a very [censored] up world with a lot of crazy mother [censored]. If you live In the land of milk and honey where such things don't happen.....good on you. Not the case here.

    I am educated, and can read the language. Now, let's "educate" you.

     

    In a statement he gave to police the same night, quoted in his own written words:

    “The dispatcher told me not to follow the suspect and that an officer was in route.“

    Florida prosecutors who later charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder in the affidavit filed in April, special prosecutor Angela Corey wrote that Zimmerman kept following Martin through the gated community despite being told to stop.

    “Zimmerman disregarded the police dispatcher and continued to follow Martin who was trying to return to his home.”

     

     

    So what? That has nothing to do with the incident with Zimmerman.  NOTHING at all. 

    Who cares?? That has nothing to do with the incident either. NOTHING. 

    It is taken as an insult. And your further insult is taken as well. You don't know what you're talking about. 

    Obviously, to any rational mind (insult intended) Zimmerman was "most likely to commit a crime", and he did. If he knew the police were on the way why did he pursue the 17 year old while armed and against what he himself said and wrote being told to stay in his vehicle?
