If it is stronger then how come it is bio-degradable, that is, why is it that water would not weaken it and cause decay?

Now normal hemp is being recomended for making bio-fuels.

If people got high on hemp that might reduce the use of booze which would reduce domestic violence. Perhaps? Sorry, no study was done to back up that spec.

It wouldn't degrade in anyones lifetime. it would take a long time.

And the booze comment is a real good theory.

Legalizing marijuana would not lead to decreased booze consumption. The two drugs give very different highs and one can not replace the other in the average person's lifestyle. Booze is the party drug, marijuana is the mellow, relaxing one. It's like saying if we legalized acid everyone would switch to that and stop smoking pot.

Yeah true. it's always nice to go booze a little with some friends every now and again. I prefer Marijuana, but booze is good with a lot of people.
But I still think marijuana should be legal.

Of course.

Another way of looking at it, is like.. a bowl, or a gram of hydro, would get you much more high, than two blunts of less than average shwag.

Or one hit of white widow and feel like you smoked 3 blunts. That stuff is powerful. If you smoke a blunt of it you will probably get so high you will of forgotten you smoked.

*sighs* Is this just another thread on marijuana legalisation, or are you going to talk about hemp? If not, this thread gets merged with the other one.

gela · Apr 23, 2008, 05:42 am

well..

Its kind of hard to make a debate about hemp legalisation when no one is against it.

If you can't smoke it, there should be no reason why its illegal..

Well it wasn't supposed to be about marijuana legalization but it somehow started to go that way.

I thought it would be a big debate, most people I ask usually says anything marijuana is bad or some BS.
But I really think it should be legalized. it would help so much...

Is 'because marijuana is bad' really the only reason people have for not legalising it?

Is there any other arguments made against it?

No very closed minded people in this town. I can throw all the facts out and they still deny it.

The town I'm in is the same. Many towns are (technically, I live in a very small city, but whatever).
