Apparently  it causes brain damage. The correct spelling is   states.

i believe that it is a crime everywhere (federal law, and upheld by the supreme court) to have anything dealing with a marijuana plant in your possession, and also paraphanalia.  interestingly enough, in most places, it isnt illegal to actually smoke it, except if you are driving.

I thought only California allowed medicinal marijuana use.  Lord knows, it is all over the place in the county where I live, LEGALLY!

How would you know they are illegal?  Are you just making assumptions because they are different from you?  I live next door to some US citizens, and they are declining my property values, by having junk cars parked all over the place and weeds growing on their property.....What can I do?  Hope and pray they move and mind my own business and accept that some people are slobs....

Touching weed has nothing to do with it.  Now if you were next to someone you are inhaling what they are smoking.  It's like cigarette smoke, yah know they say second hand smoke is worse than first hand smoke.  It will show up on a drug test because it will be in your system.  Now how much you inhale depends on how much you breathe in.

Because law enforcement makes allot of money off of it. In my state for example, if you get caught with just one joint, it's like a 1200 dollar fine. That's allot of money for the corrupt law enforcement and politicians around. That's the only reason, because they make more than if they tax it. And people say you can't tax it because it's so easy to grow your own. Well, tomatoes are easy to grow too, but I'd rather just go buy them at the store, much less hassle, and potheads would do the same.

First of all, "smokers" are not a protected class, so discrimination is not an issue.  \n\nAnd my comment would be, how would they know you smoke?  They can't keep you from smoking outside.  As long as you do not smoke in the house.\n\nHowever, I will mention that it may be an insurance issue.  When you get homeowners insurance, they ask you if you smoke.  I guess because you are more likely to burn down your house if you do?  I dunno.  Anyway, so it may cost a lot more in insurance if the property owner rents to people who smoke in the house.\n\nOr they may just be being diffcult, but I figured I would propose a possible legit reason.

That is a good question that I don't have an answer for, but will probably be pondering for the next few days. I just wanted to say your question is the reason weed is illegal--because it does make intelligent people think. The govt would rather we drink beer and stay fat and stupid.

Like any city, B'more has it problems. But I'm willing to bet the city with the worst drug problem is a smaller, more backwoods place - perhaps somewhere in West Virginia. The crystal meth problem out there far outweighs what goes on in Baltimore.

Its not a nationwide law, its specifc to the state and even to the municipality.  In New Orleans, they are very liberal with regard to walking around on the street with an open container.  In NYC, you can't do that, you'll get a ticket.

Largely because the people who decide what should and should not be tolerated are smokers.  There is currently a bill in the NH Senate to ban smoking in all eating establishments.  It passed the House, and the Governor approves of it, but the Senate may kill it.  Why, because they all smoke!  I still hope the bill does pass.  NH is the only state in New England that does not have such a ban in place.  It has not hurt patronage to restaurants in the other states. In fact, patronage has increased.  I know there are restaurants I refuse to go into due to smoking.  I have the same problem you do compounded by anxiety reaction to a nicotine allergy.  I refuse to go into a Blakes, Friendly's or Applebees restaurant because of the smoking.  They would get my business if smoking were banned. \nI find that, generally speaking, most smokers are the most thoughtless, inconsiderate people on the planet.  They don't care if their smoking infringes on the rights of others.  They don't care if it is harmful to others.  They make a huge mess by dumping the butts all over the place because they are lazy slobs.  The worst thing is that they drop them into mulch in public landscaping thinking it is a safe spot, when it is the most dangerous spot to put it.  Mulch is highly flammable and you have no idea how many mulch fires and smolderings I have had to put out over the years!  It is their right to harm themselves, but they have no right to infringe on the rights of others who do not wish to be exposed.  Rights have to be earned, not given.  Furthermore, rights come with responsibility.  If your rights infringe upon the rights of others, then find some other way or place to assert your rights where no one else can be harmed or bothered.  That's my 2 cents!

There are a whole bunch of laws that are set by people who don't partake of the activity they wish to regulate.\n\nGet used to the no smoking thing. It's everywhere.

That is OK, as long as it is not heroin, morphine,  or medicinal marijuana. You will, of course, need to declare the contents.

No- too many looney bins in America that would abuse it.  This is home of the freaks.  No respectful citizens- not a good place for legal weed.  Seriously- you know that wierd guy down the road?  He would come over to your house in the middle of the night and try to steal your gouda.\nGo to the Netherlands- it's legal there.

Houston is very close to the Gulf.  As a result, the weather is very humid and it rains quite a bit.  The weather can be nice but not in the summer.  It's very hot and very humid.  The zoning is not ideal, meaning that you can have a residential area but then very close by could be farms, industrial sites or what have you.  There are parts that are very nice but those are more costly.   No there aren't a lot of palm trees and I think it's because it can freeze in the winter or flood easily.  There may be some but I didn't see them when I lived there.  Also, since hurricane Katrina, a lot of the victims were transported to Houston and as a result, the crime rate has risen and there's a bit of unemployment.  It's cheaper to buy a house but the property tax makes up for it.  The traffic is one of the worst in the country with Los Angeles being the worst.

It doesn't cut the proffits of alcohol or tobacco, in fact most stoners I know dring and smoke more while stoned than they would otherwise... it's because of Dupont... they have a financial interest in keeping it illegal... if it were legal, it would cut into their proffits in the Nylon, Pharmacutecle, and Petrochemical industries...  Yes, Dupont deals in ALL of thoes industries, and Marijuana would compeete with ALL of them... Hemp is STRONGER than Nylon... Weed, would replace Marinol, and Hemp oil can be processed into fuel suitable for Gasoline engines...\n\nBush ownes stock in Both Dupont and the Oil Industry...
