it doesn't really bother me

the countries with some of the most lax drug laws are usually the ones with the least problems. look at germany and alcohol or netherlands and marijuana. they don't have rampant drug problems like america does. i think part of it is that the 'forbidden fruit' concept makes it all that much more alluring.

when handled in moderation, i think we should leave drug users alone and concentrate on more important issues. if someone sits at home and smokes a joint, i don't think that should be taking up a huge amount of law enforcement time/priority. we should go for the dealers and traffickers, the murderers, rapists, environmentally destructive companies, etc.

i quite expect that a lot of people in this group will hate this opinion. oh well.

	but at the same time, they have less problems. i'm going there this spring when i travel around europe with a friend. but i know enough about it from the people i do know that have been there and reading i've done. it's prevalent, yes, but they also don't seem to have a lot of underground dealers, chronic addictions, etc that seem so rampant in america.

	Just because you're straight edge doesn't make you better than anyone. It doesn't give you the right to judge. Wow so they legalized a bit of marijuana. OMFG! WOW! DOWN THE CRAPPER GOES THE WORLD! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	__electrixx 2005-11-03 05:12 am UTC (link)
	And when or where did I say that? Way to jump to conclusions. I simply posted this to provoke discussion among the users in this community. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The girl writes three words, and you come out with this? Sounds to me like you're the judgemental one, sir. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	last time I checked this was a straight edge community, so because this is a community made for us we do have a right to judge whats going on. in a drug addict community you have the same right. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	__theanalogkid 2005-11-03 05:13 am UTC (link)
	to each their own. just because i'm straight edge doesn't mean i think that nobody should be allowed to smoke weed or whatever. (Reply to this)

	wreckuptheplace 2005-11-03 05:21 am UTC (link)
	clearly this means every edge kid has to smoke some it's practically a law (Reply to this) (Thread)

	if it means less violence and lower crimes and thus lower victims....then so be it. you have the choice to always say no. (Reply to this)

	it doesn't do anything. marajuana is still illegal. because if you get picked up with it in the city of Denver... it's still a federal offense. Federal laws trump Local laws it's a neat way to catch pot heads in the act though (Reply to this)

	that's awesome! (Reply to this)

	__timetodance__ 2005-11-03 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	I guess its a good thing. Maybe there'Ll be less problems now that it's legal. There are a helluva a lot more important things than drugs to be concerned with. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	its another sign that we are getting closer to a time where is will be legalize completely im still neutral however (Reply to this)

	_hexed_ 2005-11-04 05:22 am UTC (link)
	all it does is make it so people don't get busted locally they get busted on the state level, which is worse. I personally think all cities should adopt the laws of their particular state, but thats just me. (Reply to this)

	vroom_beepbeep 2005-11-12 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	This opinion may be a little late, but I personally think the whole world would be better off if marijuana were legalized, and alcohol abolished. (Reply to this)
