We are a Democracy (Demos/Cratos = People/Power). Therefore...We have rights. WE hold the power. We give consent to government. We have the right for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is the government's JOB to give us a good life...to secure and protect our rights. And if it fails to do so, it is out DUTY to do something about it. I see all these posts and frustrated words about how the government needs to legalize. I swear, everyone I know blazes and I wonder why doesn't anyone do anything?!? If I smoked enough and had a car, I'd definitely take action. It's dumb that it's not legal...it's dumb that the government brainwashes the people with fake beliefs about marijuana. All im saying is that...democracy requires attention and vigilance. We lose it when we get more excited about the Super Bowl and not things such as the elections. I probably shouldn't even say this..because I am not taking action either. However, I am never always talking about how it should be legalized. If I was..I'd do something because someone needs to start making the change
That's true...but I still hate the fact that people get busted for it and that a lot of public sees it as bad and worse that alcohol. I guess it's w/e but I'm just saying..if people want a change. It would open a lot of new jobs too XD new shit starting up. I think that would be pretty dope. But than again, big corporations might take it over and make some kind of a mess out of it...ehh idkk anymore!!
No, we have power. We just give it up because we're scared. We give up our rights and power in hopes of protection and security. For example the 9/11 attack...everyone panicked and gave up their rights. Suddenly anyone could be searched..put to jail..etc. If we didn't have any power, we'd still be under the rule of the Divine Right...but because we have power we have gone a long way from there.
Seriously man? Like WE NEED to get this shit legalized... Im so sick of people looking at stoners like there criminals houses getting raided for stupid shit man. Seriously this kinda attitude is going to GET US NO WHERE.
We the people, do have power. The government will push us and shove us in all sorts of directions until we do something about it. They will do everything they can get away with, until caught. What it comes down to is the government looks out for those who PARTICIPATE in government, if you don't participate then you can eat shit, and they won't help you. You wonder why all the politicians always help old people, it's because they know seniors will vote and they give them something for it. Moreover, my biggest gripe is that we have career politicians and not public servants that truly want to change lives for ordinary people, which in turn helps them because once they are done with their office they will become an ordinary citizen again.
true...but I feel like MOST people want it legalized and it's the government that doesn't. At least in CA! I don't care about the other states
how about we fix the government, corruption... etc.. FIRST somehow someway putting bud on a pedestal...
I definitely think that's the bigger problem here, but again I feel like the corruption is a result of career politicians.
^ Yo that was some shit huh? If the prez laughed about any other topic, he would get fucking blasted by the media. Legalized or not, I wish people would AT LEAST view it as a legitimate topic of debate.
I guess people don't want to fight because everyone assumes that it will become legal. LOL and it will...just WHEN?? I mean..what steps are been taken right now to legalize ? inform me cuse I don't know a lot of things
Well, I'm unaware of anything on the national level. Some states are debating MMJ currently. Nationally, organizations like NORML are lobbying constantly, and thank god they have some money to do the menial lobbying they can do because the pharm industry has bookoo bucks and they lobby hard as shit to keep weed illegal.
