For me, it's not a matter of getting high... it is escaping pain. I've had 3 surgeries to my spine... and one more coming up... and I am in pain. Been that way for 4 years and oxycoton/ vicoden etc has bad side effects and my pain management doctor and neurosurgeon have said this will be my life so I'll be very happy when everything is set up.

Soooo, yay 420

And I hope for your comfort that everything goes well

I don't smoke but it should be legal. One day...

agreed. tax that stuff and make money.... i like money:twisted:

its getting there. having a state such as nj that has mandatory minimum sentencing to give in to medical marijuana is the first step. next step is decriminalization. i can live with that.

I'm glad there are no '420' posts because of there were we'd axe them as we have no drug rules here. Plus the whole 420 things is stupid. most stoners are too stoned to remember anyway lol

they need these medical rules though, but I'm sure big pharma is fighting it bad, and they are big employers in NJ and that matters

note: keep this apolitical or we kill it.

keeping it on the apolitical side....making marijuana legal would open up a ton of jobs in the industrial and retail sides of things. we could always use more jobs in new jersey :nod:

Yes, so I'll have the chance to deal with more DUI's and stoned people along with drunks.

how would it be any different than now. its not like marijuana use would go up, it would just keep non violent ''offenders'' out of jail and using up government resources arresting, prosecuting and housing these ''criminals''. alcohol is legal but still illegal to be behind the wheel while inebriated. the same rules would apply

I was going to make a post but I forgot to

me and my cousin were just saying that last night

nj doesnt allow for PTSD... yet... but who knows, my other issues may qualify me.

Exactly.

This is still a thing?

1997 much?

That's classic. Probably in the majority among your peers.

It would put alot of Drug dealers out of buisiness causing them to find other illegal ways to make money!!

I say make it legal. Drug dealers would go out of business and our over crowded jails would have more room for people who actually deserve to be there like murderers and molesters, etc.

Tax it and make money

Its a good idea but I know that most Drug dealers would turn to more violent crimes like murder, Breaking into peoples homes and **** if they lost alot of there customers.. I had friends that were dealers in Camden, and Philly growing up that had no Highschool deploma, and no credit or job experiance that only knew how to deal drugs and there biggest customers were people who purchased pot.. That would be the only thing that would scare me if they made pot legal! What would all these drug dealers do when they loose 50% or more of there customers??

Or that we would have to let a lot people out of prison who were convicted of pot possession or dealing all at once?

you all realize there are other drugs to be sold than just weed, right?

legalization of marijuana would maybe hurt some recreational dealers, like rich kids who do it to be popular, but true drug dealers will still fair well. so no need to worry about them losing their jobs.

But, legalization would mean the govt. has been misleading me with lies all these years?

Weed won't kill me?

I feel betrayed.

The fact that it would be legal means it won't be as low keyed. Its done less publicly due to the deterrance of getting in trouble.

i am for the legislation, however, they did just find the exact chemical within marijuana that helps in the medical field. This is a big plus for the medical marijuana fighters, a big hit for the people who want it legalized for more nefarious causes. Although i dont smoke, a lot of my friends do, and i do not consider it a drug drug, for recreational use it could be taxed which is what we need, it could open jobs, and there could still be driving and smoking regulations like there are about booze. Although i did find it ironic that my friends and i spent most of 4/20 talking about business, politics, theological debates as well as quantum and theoretical physics...yeah we're cool lol

I personally dont smoke, and i think potheads are 3rd class citizens, but THC and its derivatives are one of the most beneficial compounds ever discovered, all the benefits and a shred of the side effects compared to other drugs used that THC can cover... Nasty, i'm gonna have to disagree with you on the job thing, I believe, especially in NJ where there are LOTS of Fortune 1000 companies based, that it will hurt jobs... Why buy an appetite enhancer, pain killer, sleep aid, arthritis reliever, cognitive relaxer, stomach relaxer, etc from all different companies when you can buy 1 medicine down the street at the shop next to the local 7-11 for much cheaper, easier, and with less side effects?.... I think it will cripple pharma companies in NJ
