speaking of smoking..."Nevada to vote on legalizing marijuana"

[mark414]

RENO, Nev. - Gambling, prostitution, and now pot? Organizers of a Nevada ballot measure hope voters in a state where almost everything goes will go one better and legalize marijuana.

If it passes Nov. 7, Nevada will be the first state to allow adults to possess up to an ounce of pot that they could buy at government-regulated marijuana shops.

The Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana, which has pushed medical marijuana and decriminalization laws around the country, thinks Nevada — with its embrace of certain vices and its streak of Western independence — is a perfect venue.

In an editorial last spring, the rural Lahontan Valley News argued that gambling, Nevada's most powerful industry, caters to "visceral pleasures," and that it would hypocritical to oppose the legalization of marijuana on moral grounds.

1. Heebus!

Y'mean one out of 50 might actually do the Sensible Thing?





Woody Allen walked hand-in-hand with Louis Farrakhan
'Face the Nation' had Cindy Crawford and Bo Derek on
The Earth fell out of its orbit and careened into the sun
And Bob Dole ran for president and won

Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to Timothy Leary
Someone proved conclusively the Single Bullet Theory
...was wrong

5. Legalizing marijuana would solve more problems than it would create!

I swear I'll pack my parrot and move! It's easier for me to move across country (east to west) than moving from the northeast to the west. The keeper of my heart, Miss Frodo, might catch a terrible cold if I were to try to move through a cold climate with her.



We have many problems that the additional tax revenues from the legal sale of cannabis could help to correct. The illegal growth and sale of pot has made it the largest cash crop for many years.

Did you know it only became illegal back in the 30's? :wtf: This hasn't curbed the smoking anymore that prohibition stopped anyone from drinking alcohol. Wake-up America. The current laws only serves to teach smokers to find ways of breaking the law.

7. You nailed it on many counts, Joanie

Criminalizing it just made it go a little bit underground. Done in the 30s, since it was a "black man's vice," and we all know we can't have them growing their own drugs that make them happy. :eyes:

Just legalize it and have done with it, already. Geez.
