    A socialist society should be truly libreal and free surley pleasure of the masses is are aim ?
    The name weed comes from it being considerd a weed in countries where it grows natrually.
    Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

    I half agree, making the majority happy is the aim, my point is that i believe legalising drugs, even if it was/is what the majority desired would have undesirable effects. Also i think to be truely liberal you would have to live under communism as opposed to socialism where threats still exist.

    marijuana should be legalised, simply because if you are going to keep tobacco and alcahol leal then why not weed? I doubt either of the above are less harmful.

    In sum circumstances it can be used for medicinal purposes yes, but what is your point?

    I said that in response to this statement:

    unless absolutely proven to have any benefits, i believe that drugs such as marijuana should not be decriminalized
    and if proven beneficial in a certain field, it should only be legal for that use
    And to your statement of:

    . Also i think to be truely liberal you would have to live under communism as opposed to socialism where threats still exist.
    What is your definition of liberal? In no sense that I know of the word does it equate to anything NEAR socialism, or communism for that matter.

    It's okay to be dependant on Nicotine, Cafeine, Prozac, Valium, Lexotanil, Aspirin, TV shows, pornography, etc, but GOD ALMIGHTY forbid should you smoke some herb!

    fuck all you hypocrites, really.

    That was a nice pun, but as far as harm goes, you should then agree that alcohol need be banned. I've seen more of alcohol abuse and alcohol leading to domestic abuse and accidents than marijuana.

    Legalise it. Hell, it&#39;s used only in social circumstances most often anyways. People who become dependant on it have found nothing else in life worth living for. They&#39;ve been bombarded with all these images from Madison Avenue on what they should have but don&#39;t. They&#39;re shells of people, who have their emotions fed to them.

    Make a better society, then people won&#39;t need to run away from it.

    You feel that by legalising drugs fewer people will be less inclined to use them-and/or use them more responsibly? I think thats a pipe dream (<nice pun )
    Ironically that&#39;s not really a pun as the term &#39;pipe dream&#39; comes from people&#39;s halucinations and fantasies they would have when smoking their opium pipes.

    There is a diference between alcohol and say weed for example, i can go out, have 2 pints, and be no different to when i went out (i.e. not pissed)-the reason i have drank these hypothetical pints is to socialise and because i have enjoyed the taste. However when i go to my friends dindgy basement to do my joint, its very different in that i&#39;m there soley to get intoxicated, i dont imagine many people do weed for the taste (certainly not for the smell&#33.
    You obviously have not been to a "coffee shop" in Amsterdam.

    I think the real conniseur of cannibas is akin to his wine tasting counterpart, revelling in it&#39;s pungent bouquet - savouring some of the most wonderful aroma&#39;s known to modern man that are derived from cannibas sativa...

    The old Lebanese black - redseal - I can never get anymore was my favourite.... Such a perfume as to leave me in most pleasurable wonderment and exaltation....

    Then apparently you missed that it is indeed similar to a pub with people socialising, relaxing (not necessarily getting pissed out of their minds). People who also enjoy the taste and the smell.

    i actually enjoy Mary Jane&#39;s taste and smell a hell lot more than regular cigarettes, or even cigars. sorry but it&#39;s all relative really.





    I also enjoy smelling my feet after a long 10 hour shift...

    I fail to see where you get off judging people like that. People obviously do enjoy smoking socially just as they enjoy drinking socially. People also smoke simply to get intosicated, just as people drink simply to get intoxicated. I can tell you from personal experience as well as numerous observations, people who are drunk are far more likely to become violent then those who smoke pot. How is it any of your buisness if people chose to smoke pot on their own time?
