I double dare yall Shouldn't Marijuana use be a personal choice like cigarette or Ogogoro. Unlike cigarette, marijuana actually has medicine value (abi i dey lie). I know you guys would say marijuana has side effects and would destroy your brain cells blah blah blah but what drugs (soft or hard) doesn't have side effects? morphine and oxycotton are addictive but somehow they are legal. What's the difference between marijuana and opiates that are legal? Legalize Marijuana would help the economy. California benefits from medicinal marijuana sales. Useless states like Ekiti could finally generate some internal revenue from ganja taxes. Another thing is the historical significance of Marijuana. Thomas Jefferson cultivated cannabis at monte carlo , benjamin franklin smoked weed too (why do you think he was studying thunder & lightning ). Marijuana has always been used in many cultures with minimal harm. Finally, Drug addiction is mental health issue and not a criminal one. Smoke weed and you shall suceed . Obama did it, Clinton did it, GWB did it (oops bad example). http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/03/26/obama-marijuana-is-not-a-good-strategy-to-spur-economy/ boooooooo |

I guess this topic is a joke isn't it? OK. Until otherwise, no point in debating it out. |

Weed could be the god we are searching for,moderately used,it opens the inner mind,unlike cocaine,heroine,lsd,ecstasy, alcohol and cigarettes,etc, that are very destructive. Government wouldn't want peoples' mind open,they rather want them to remain religiously fanatic(christians and moslem) and wallop in the dark in their entire short and miserable life. |

Hey, fire it up then Bawo, but don't bogart that joint, my friend. Sho y'right ! I can see a great future for the Coptic Church of Jamaica, should they open a few branches in Nigeria. Weed is the primary sacrament of that church, and with the name of God conveniently invoked, I can see many of Pastor Eunuch's previously straight-laced flock defecting to become Copticians, whose religious observances would revolve around copping some bud from the good pastor, and then copping a serious buzz in the name of the Lord. Hallelujah ! |

bawomolo: that weed you're smoking is making it look like a report to moderator button i actually do sometimes wonder if it would not be better to legalize cocaine etal remember prohibition? i read somewher that opium used to be the drug of choice. . when it was outlawed, people came up with heroin, which was far worse, ,\much the same way as peoplw came up with crack. . .just musing. . . |

The Mexican government would not be fighting a drawn out & potentially destructive war with the Sinaloa & other cartels if drugs were legal. instead they'd be raking in taxes from an estimated $60billion a year industry. hell!! Guzman was declared a billionaire by forbes & thats tax free baby. Legalize all drugs & tax the shit outta them especially the more dangerous specs (LSD, Crack Cocaine etc) Also we wouldnt be having the madness in the FX market right now cos most of my Narco-logisitcs Baron kinsmen would freely root out their $ bills to stabilize the Naira. So i say legalise drugs, prostitution (make this one tax free, cos kitten should be free or at least cheap). |

So i say legalise drugs, prostitution (make this one tax free, cos kitten should be free or at least cheap). oga clap for yourself. What's government business with legislating morality. Wetin concern gomina with ganja smoking or ashewo (besides making sure they are regularly tested for STD's like the porn industry). i actually do sometimes wonder if it would not be better to legalize cocaine etal good point, a drug loses its cult status when the stigma is lifted off it. Most people don't know that cocaine was once an ingredient in COCA cola. Alcohol prohibition made the problem worse rather than solving it.

What point does attacking one state makake for this thread? Just because you don't want to have to sneak to the store anymore to "deal" Mary Jane does not make MJ economical. Wouldn't be a surprise if you have a farm of Marijuana in your backyard. |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by bawomolo(m): 11:13pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
Ebony-Silk: Word is ekiti has a lot of marijuana cultivation technicians :-Xi kid i kid. How is it not economical. We need to diversify the Nigerian economy. |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by Nobody: 11:14pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
bawomolo:Taxation in Nigeria? Esp on MJ industry? This must be a joke. I see that you're obsessed with Ekiti. Wow, are you trying to impress me? Then you better stop |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by Nobody: 11:15pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
this thread would be funny if it werent so tragically naive. |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by DeReloaded: 11:18pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
Heroin can also be used medically Question is where do they stop? Legalize marijuana and people will ask, why stop there? Why not legalize others as well. Lets not mention that people can EASILY grow their own (many do illegially) so the whole taxing shit will barely work. Even if it ever happens, Obama should not be the one do it. Pot heads should find their messiah elsewhere. |

morphine and oxycotton are addictive but somehow they are legal. What's the difference between marijuana and opiates that are legal? Yea you can buy those in any store. *rolls eyes* |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by Nobody: 11:23pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
why not legalise cocaine too so as to stop the border war in Mexico? And after that we legalise opium which is the major cash cow for the taliban and alqaeda in Afghanistan . . . what's next? |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by Nobody: 11:28pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
Then we can legalize AK47 in all states/countries/continents |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by bawomolo(m): 11:31pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
Ebony-Silk: what does that have to do with ganja matter? DeReloaded: it's legal with a prescription right. Anna Nicole Smith had access to them easily. DeReloaded: the point is drug use shouldn't be criminalized. The taxing stuff would work, haven't you heard of illegal breweries or moon shine? Majority of the production can be taxed.
go on brother. |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by DeReloaded: 11:33pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
it's legal with a prescription right. So is medicinal marijuana in some cancer centers. |

Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by bawomolo(m): 11:38pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
DeReloaded: the FG and most states don't recognize medicinal marijuana. It wasn't until the Obama administration that federal agents couldn't bust down medicinal marijuana stores. Codeine was available off the counter until it was realized freaks were getting high on that stuff (benilyn sure does taste sweet) Marijuana possession is now just a misdemeanor in Maryland or so. Good news. A continuation of the post above mines. is Ak-47 an opiate? go back to daycare jare |
Re: Someone Tell Me Why Marijuana Shouldn't Be Legalized And Taxed by DeReloaded: 11:40pm On Mar 29, 2009 |
I dont remember codeine ever being off the counter. |
