Alaska | Measure 2: Legalizing Marijuana

Would legalize the cultivation, use and sale of marijuana for persons 21 and older; the state and local government would regulate marijuana like alcohol and tobacco; doctors would be able to prescribe drugs to all patients, including children; public use laws could be enacted by the government as well as laws in the interest of public safety.

they will have ot legalize it eventually. if they legalize it,they can control it somewhat. its is so rampant that legalizing is about the only thing they can do

yes, weed needs to be legalized and nicotine needs to be banned. i dunno what is wrong with this country, but we've def got it backwards.

it isn't for legalization, it is for decriminalization. they are different. it is also on the balet for orgen and nevada for madicinal use.

Personally, i dont want it to be legalized. I would want it decriminalized, but not legalized. There is so much money to be had in selling MJ, that if we legalized it, it would be taxed, and you couldnt really make any money off it, cuz everyone would be buying it.

I'd rather have it decrimed, so i can still make my flow.

Peace.

 
Up here in Canada, the goverment's hoping to decriminalize it. The first attepmt was scraped under pressure from the American Goverment. I guess the Canadian goverment is hoping they'll be pre-ocupied this time round. Let's hope so, eh.

i don't think most people even know the issues at hand. the reason marijuana was criminalized in the first place is because big tabacco and also the pulp industry (possibly the textile industry as well but i don't think they had their heads up at this point) quickly realised the threat that the chronic posed to their industries and they launched a large propaganda campaign which succeeded in marijuana's classification as illicit drug.

decriminalization will do little. i do not support it and i think it will punish marijuana users more then it will help them. it is a blatant cash grab attempt by the government and does little to solve the fundamental issues. it will be more punitive to dealers, growers, and everyday users. how does this better serve the public? if it is not criminal, why shouldn't it be legal? the government is in a moral conundrum and is taking the easy way out. the canadian senate recently recommended the full legalization of marijuana and the treatment of it as a exportable industry. legalization would make a HUGE impact on the economy. in BC, i predict within 3 years, it would become the largest source of revenue in the province, if not shorter. the semi legit bodegas and cannibus culture shops that operate around vancouver are evidence to the safety and economic stimulus that marijuana provides.

frankly, i've been doing alot of research on marijuana recently and i feel that much of the scientific research is biased and attempts to portray marijuana according to their idealogical guidelines. they get the results they desire. i feel that the methods they use are not reflective of how marijuana is consumed in society and that the dosages that they use are excessive. here are some interesting webpages you should all read:

here's some of the research:

on anandamide:
http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/features/anandamide.shtml

the results don't exactly fit the conservative ideology and it's no suprise that they aren't further publicized. although it was nature magazine that published the results, it still hasn't been leaked into mainstream media. interesting no?

 
there is no way the government would be able to control it, so they won't legalize it. and they saw what happened during prohibition, so they know that if they legalize it they cannot recriminalize it.

sorry i was wrong. colorado is up for madicinal. oregon already has madicinal, and alsaka is for legalization.

^um, there was definitely nothing on the colorado ballot this year for decriminalizing weed. i would have voted for it. it was on the ballot a few years ago though

Economically it would be the samrtest thing to do. The dovernment wouldn't have to worry about controlling it, the market would control it. Upon legalization prices would plummet and any dealer with large amounts of pot would lose money. Growers would be forced to dramatically increase their scale in order to turn a profit. After a few years the industry would be weeded out to a few large companies that the government could then tax the hell out of.

Just my prediction.

 
today these black kids were saying it should be legalized because it is in berlin and theres no drug crimes there. but then someone said that berlin was all white people and everyone agreed it should stay illegal in the US

fuck that. if you wanna smoke, it aint hard to get, and your dumb if you get caught. but i think legalization would just make it cost more, and EVERYBODY would be stoned 24/7, and that would not be good for the nation.

right now in the US pot is the largest cash crop that is sold, more than tobacoo or anything else for that matter. if it was sold and taxed legaly the amount of taxes that would come in in one year is around 25-30 billion.

That's not the point. the point is the government is trying to take away human rights. and as someone pointed out, is EVERYBODY wasted 24/7? sure usage would jump for a little bit, but it would go down. but the government could not control it because its so easy to grow.

don't bring human rights into this. If you want to say its a human's right to smoke weed, then isn't it a human's right to shoot up heroin? A human's right to drive when they are drunk? A human's right to shoot another person? Weed is not even comparable to tobacco, it is much more dangerous ... causing permanent brain damage and a high that is completely out of the ballpark of the simple buzz one may catch from smoking a carton of cigarettes. Drunk driving can be regulated because we are able to easily detect drunkeness. Driving stoned, which is just as dangerous to others, would not be able to be identified in a simple roadside test.

are you seriously comparing smoking weed to driving drunk? how the fuck does someone smoking a joint affect you? it is your personal right to put whatever you want in your own body, and yes that includes heroin. when you start to endanger other people i.e. driving is when it stops being a victimless crime. and there are definitely tests you can do to determine if someone is high. light reaction tests, anyone? how bout saliva tests?

but it does affect people. Maybe not in an obvious way as you would like, since alot of people of lesser intelligence have trouble discerning the domino effects that an action may have. Two of my friends started toking up in high school, now they both live off of unemployment checks. That affects people, that raises the taxes, that takes money out of my pockets that I can put towards paying off my school, that takes away from money I can can put towards the betterment of my own education and that of the children that I plan to have. So don't give me this 'it doesn't hurt anyone else' bullshit. Have you ever had to have a conversation with your friends parents after they call you over to their house to ask you if you know whether or not their son is smokng pot?! Don't tell me that my friend's high times didn't tear a fucking hole in the hearts of his parents. How bout when your up skiing with your friend and its the end of the day, he decides to slip away for a quick toke, takes a couple more runs and then drives home. How does that affect the people around him when they get the call the next morning that he isn't alive.

Maybe that's one of the reasons that suicide is illegal ... what you do to yourself affects more than just your body. So think about that before you decide to be so stubborn and close-minded.

East_Coast... if it were legal everyone would be stoned 24/7? what makes you say this? just because something is illegal does not mean that the fact that it is illegal is the only reason people dont do it. i am 20, its perfectly legal for me to buy cigarettes. i could chainsmoke 5 packs a day if i wanted to, but do i? no, because it's hazardous to my health. same thing with marijuana, just because it becomes legal does not mean everyone would do it. making it legal does not make it any less physically or mentally dangerous.

 
here's a little something something i wrote for a psych course recently. i did a fair bit or reading and because i was limited in words, i was unfortunately unable to go into neccessary detail. not to mention i researched and wrote it in the 7 consecutive hours before it's due date. maybe i'll go into further detail and review with it later. here's what it was though:

In 1908, William Lyon MacKenzie King introduced Canada’s first legislation to suppress the use of opiates: the Opium Narcotic Act. To this day, this legislation has served as the framework for the rest of Canada’s drug prohibition legislation. However, King’s Act was at the time “created solely to eliminate an undesirable element from the labour pool, and gave no regard to medical, social, or any other scientific research to back up its necessity or wisdom.� Historically, the reasons for prohibition of marijuana have had less to do with the effects of the actual drug and more to do with extenuating circumstances. Now nearly one hundred years later, new psychological and scientific research is examined to attempt justify the necessity of this archaic legislation. The accumulated scientific evidence of the last century shows that the prohibition of marijuana is unnecessary and counterproductive.

Though there are 460 known chemical constituents found in marijuana, the primary active ingredient is ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as THC. Of these chemical constituents, over 60 over them are classified as cannabinoids . Cannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and affect the impulses between synapses. Cannabinoid receptors are hosted in numerous areas of the brain including: the cerebellum which controls movement, the hippocampus which affects memory and the cereberal cortex which controls most of the body’s functions. These cannabiniod receptors are linked to experiences of pleasure as can be explained by experiments with anadamide, alias bliss. Somatic effects of the consumption of marijuana include an increase of heart rate, cerebral blood flow, and stimulation of appetite due to a drop in blood sugar levels.

While there is little dispute over the physical alterations THC causes to the brain, the repercussions of such are subject to more debate. Many of the contentions used to justify marijuana prohibition include marijuana’s contended detrimental effects to cognitive functions and marijuana’s portent effect as a “gateway drug� which supposedly stimulates violent behavior and crime. These are the two key components which those of conservative ideology preach in support of the prohibition of marijuana. Unfortunately for the conservatives, modern science has shown all of these conclusions to be fallacious.

The nature of THC binding with synaptic receptors intuitively suggests alteration of the brain’s function. It is the highly propagandized impression that this alteration for the worse. In recent tests of cognitive function with marijuana users, it was concluded that “acute marijuana smoking produced minimal effects on complex cognitive task performance� and that “we cannot really establish that cannabis use has negative consequences for brain functions, even in chronic users.� Though it has been shown that THC negatively affects memory and cognition, these detriments have been shown to be recoverable and reversible with the removal of THC.

The Canadian Senate Committee found in 2003 that “cannabis is not a cause of violence or crime� and furthermore that marijuana “does not lead to a trajectory of delinquency.� This is counterintuitive to the popularly believed rational that it stimulates criminal activity. However, the Senate Committee that because of marijuana’s “relaxing and euphoristic psychoactive effects and it’s effect of relaxing muscle tone� that such belief was widely false.

The accumulated knowledge of the last century has invalidated the prohibition of marijuana. The illegitimacy of marijuana prohibition has been recognized as early as in 1944 in New York La Guardia whose findings have been time and again mirrored in other reports such as the Baroness Wootton report (1968, United Kingdom), the Le Dain Commission (1972, Canada) and the Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs (2003, Canada). These reports found that prohibition merely “created a sub-culture with little respect for the law and law enforcement� and whose recommendations ranged from full legalization to minute decriminalization. The impairment of cognition is also mentioned in these reports, yet the impairment is generally recognized as being minute and irrelevant. The pharmaceutical and economic stimulus that marijuana could provide far outweighs the potential negative impact of the substance. The misspent funds on policing and the thousands of citizens with unnecessary criminal records should also be considered in this case. The prohibition of marijuana is the result of misdirected legislation one hundred years ago. In light of recent psychological, medical, and social discoveries since the prohibition of marijuana, new legislation should be introduced to incorporate marijuana as a functional tool of society.

TheArtist, so you think your friends should be thrown in jail? everything you do affects somebody in one form or another. with your logic, alcohol should be illegal. of course it affects people indirectly. some people can't handle weed just like some people can't handle alcohol. i think you are the one being close-minded. What people like your friends need is rehabilitation, not jail time.

dude obviously we should legalize weed, then my pappy can schmoke it outside the house too haha. Oh yeah dude think about it though, they'd have to keep it away from the tobacco corporations or they'd start throwing rat poison and nicotine into our weed... But it should be legal.

And as we proceed,

I find the people who are pro-legalization are more informed than people who are against it. Those who are against it just keep repeating the same ideas and they're own personal opinions about marijuana. None of it is actually a fact. It's all opinions and stories.
