I am a police officer and I don't always arrest for possession of marijuana.  Sometimes, I just make some poor pot head who spent his last 40 bucks on a bag of weed, who should have spent it on milk and diapers for his kid, sprinkle it out on the side of the road.  \n\nBut to answer your question, no. I respect officers who use their head and use their discretion wisely, not just make arrests because they can.

Well I'm not a Democrat but I've always surmised that one would have to be high to vote for them!\n\nMy guess is its split 50/50, 50% quit voting democrat when they quit smoking pot, and 50% quit voting democrat after they become a crime victim.

In the Netherlands, marijuana is not technically legal, but authorities do nothing to enforce the law, and it therefore effectively legal. The Netherlands, starting in the 60s, have some of the most liberal laws with regards to drugs and prostitution, though apparently they take a much harder stance on hard drugs (eg. heroin, cocaine).\n\nThe US, among western nations, has some of the most conservative laws. For example, there are only two major industrialized countries where capital punishment is still legal: the US and Japan. In places like Germany, France, Australia, Canada, Spain, and Britain, the death penalty has been eliminated. So too with drugs, the US still insists on fighting the "War on Drugs" (even though it has been largely unsuccessful) as a matter of policy. While marijuana is illegal in most other places, enforcement is even more lax and there has been serious talk of decriminalizing pot in many of these countries. For example, I live in Canada and our Senate (granted, the Canadian Senate is not elected) recommended that pot be decriminalized a few years ago. Such an action would be unheard of in the US, where pot is still upheld as the source of a great myriad of social ills while tobacco and alcohol are taxed pitifully compared to many other Western countries.

Marijuana IS government regulated!!!  As with other drugs that are "illegal"  Once confiscated, it is resold on the streets and that is the vicious cycle of why these drugs are ILLEGAL...therefore making the government money "ILLEGALLY" by arresting, charging and sentencing a person to jail and fines as restitution for their possession of illegal drugs.

I am not for it except in very rare cases. Since CA passed the "medical marijuana" law, who gets prescribed it is a complete joke. 20 year old males who have no real health problems have a "recommendation" from a doctor because they say they have "back pain". Even though they have no trouble breaking into houses and running from the cops. I have even run into a 15 year old who had his doctor's "recommendation" for marijuana to help his asthma!! \n\nIt is widely known that there are certain doctors who will, for a fee, just give you a prescription. They then tell you about a shop in town that sells "medical marijuana". It also happens to be the doctor's shop. It is a complete and total farce.\n\nThe other problem that came from that law is the belief that it entitles people to now sell marijuana. There was no provision in the law that allows this at all. \n\nAdditionally, the people who have the prescriptions think that it OK to drive after they have smoked the marijuana, which is another huge problem.\n\nIn short, in my years of law enforcement, I have seen very few cases where someone legitimately needed marijuana.

Theres nothing wrong with weed. \n\n Its feared for no good reasons other than its illegl.  And that doesnt mean much more than whatever the gov wants it to mean.  there are plenty of things that were illegal at one time and are accepted now so legality doesnt mean bad.\n\nThe only problem with it, and with any other thing is if it becomes a problem.  If it effects their life in negative ways.  I smoke and my grades are fine, my friends (who smoke and dont smoke) are all still cool with me as their friend.

Let them smoke! No one every got shot up because of weed. The man would make mad bread in the legalization of Mary Jane. Little Cesar's stock would go through the roof along with Lays and Twinkies. Pot heads are too busy being paranoid, in a constant state of munchdom or founding new religions. I'm not a smoker but all my friends are. Those kids always crack me up especially when we start science projects and they are geeked out their minds!

Unless you are going for some federal positions experimental use of pot is completely acceptable. Contrary to what most people above have stated- DO NOT deny it or play dumb, agencies don't care if smoked a joint in high school, they want to know that your being honest, and if you have to go up angainst a polygraph, they will try to verify past criminal activities including drug use. And before people start putting out retarded "how to beat a lie detector" solutions here, don't bother, you won't beat it, and it's easier to just tell the truth, especially with something as minor as a little weed a decade ago.

Not true.  Those laws are controversial and apply only to specific localities.  Step outside that locality and you will be arrested.  In fact, the feds freely ignore those local and even state laws and arrest people and successfully convict them.  California is the only state to pass a law like this on the state level and the feds freely ignore it and arrest people.  Actually, they show great restraint in this.  They only arrest the 90% of people who fraudulently claim they are sick in an attempt to smoke pot recreationally.  They ignore the ones who are actually sick.

It already has gone beyond molding into control, laws are passed daily which makes new criminals out of law abiding citizens, laws against personal or medical use of marijuana for example, in many states oral sex with your spouce is illegal, gee lock me up throw away the key for being a reapeat offender there! Laws are too numerious to mention, but yes the goverment has its idea of the dumb non questioning them ordiary citizen and is locking up non conformiss left and right, which is not demoracy

theres a lots of words report on Marijuana \n\n\n Street terms for marijuana: grass, pot, weed, bud, Mary Jane, dope, indo, hydro1\n\nWhat does marijuana look like?\n\nA green, brown, or gray mixture of dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the hemp plant. ("Cannabis" refers to marijuana and other drugs made from the same plant.) \nOther forms, less common in the United States, are hashish and hashish oil. \nWhat are the methods of usage?\n\nMarijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette (called a joint) or in a pipe or bong. \nWhat are some consequences of marijuana use?\n\nMay cause frequent respiratory infections, impaired memory and learning, increased heart rate, anxiety, panic attacks, tolerance, and physical dependence.2 \nUse of marijuana during the first month of breast-feeding can impair infant motor development.3 \nChronic smokers may have many of the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers including daily cough and phlegm, chronic bronchitis symptoms, frequent chest colds; chronic abuse can also lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissues.4 \nA study of college students has shown that skills related to attention, memory, and learning are impaired among people who use marijuana heavily, even after discontinuing its use for at least 24 hours.5 \nWho uses marijuana?\n\nMarijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug. \nAt least one-third of Americans have used marijuana sometime in their lives.6 \nHow does marijuana get to the United States?\n\nMarijuana produced in Mexico and smuggled into the U.S. remains the most widely available. \nHigh-potency marijuana also enters the U.S. drug market from Canada. \nU.S. drug law enforcement reporting suggests increased availability of domestically grown marijuana.7 \nThe availability of marijuana from Southeast Asia generally is limited to the West Coast. \nHow much does marijuana cost?\n\nPrices for commercial-grade marijuana have remained relatively stable over the past decade, ranging from approximately $400 to $1,000 per pound in U.S. Southwest border areas to between $700 to $2000 per pound in the Midwest and northeastern United States. \nThe national price range for sinsemilla, a higher quality marijuana usually grown domestically, is between $900 and $6,000 per pound

As several others have already said federal law supercedes local laws. Whether or not it is enforced is an entirely seperate matter. As a citizen of Nevada however I can say that the marijuana measure will most likely NOT pass. It was tried four years ago and failed miserably and I'm sure it will do so again.

lol...you just wanna smoke....but jokes a side I agree....sadly Marijuana has to major enemies...namely the Alcohol and Tobacco industries.....in fact those 2 substances are proven that they WILL KILL YOU and yet they are perfectly legal to take.....it is big business......just to see how potent this issue is.....for example if the state of California legalized and took control over the distribution of marijuana it would solve their financial problems in one stroke!
