yeah, but they still grew up with this notion that it was something "naughty"  to be abused. when they first tried it they felt like they had to hide it (because they did) from anyone who was experienced enough to teach them how to be responsible with it.

ooh. i see this topic covered cannabis quite a bit.
sorry, i didn't see this- and i made a new topic about ganja
only because i didn't realize it was being discussed on the forum at all.

but let me say that these were my thoughts exactly and one of the main reasons i started the topic on "ganja"

I do not condone the use of cannabis, any more than I condone the excessive use of alcohol, but in both cases I think legal prohibition to be counter-productive, and merely brings (or would bring) the law into disrepute, and make the problem the more difficult to deal with.

I think it should be legal, especially because it seems harmless in comparison to cigarettes and alcohol. The government is just wasting time and money. Everyone does it anyway. haha

ya know once they figure out how much money they can make on taxes and "high" prices...i am sure they will legalize it...if anything it would boost the grocery store profits and slow people down a bit(which would not be all that bad)
