Everyone smokes a little weed or has before, I don't see what the big deal is. People need to stop crying about it.

 

What he does is in own time is his own business. If it's illegal and he gets caught, oh well, better luck next time. It's not the end of the world.

 

srsly. if your average joe gets busted smoking weed, gets fired over it, and is basically looked down on; who cares?

why should some double jointed douchebag be any different?

 

I guess my question is:

Should smoking marijuana still be outlawed?

 

people have pushed to make marijuana legal, atleast for medical purposes but failed everytime.

isnt there a backdoor to review why it was banned in the first place? the way it was banned, it's unjust from what i've researched, mainly due to racism against hispanics and blacks, also main competitor to other textile industries and source of paper and ropes, growing weed was manditory, required by the government back in the 1800's because there were so many uses for it. i think it needs to be revised then see if it needs to be legal or not.

 

Just because the laws affected minorities more than whites has no bearing on the legalities of the issue. The law still affects everyone equally.

The history of narcotics laws are long and interesting, but if you want to know what the current federal laws are, read this:

It was basically inevitable when you combine dominant Christian rhetoric with exaggerated stories of drug abuse going out of control across the country. After 40 years of anti-drug propaganda and the "War On Drugs", there's no way in hell any illegal narcotic is going to be legal again. Even after the hippie movement, American's as a whole still have a strong moral stance on drugs.

You can argue how alcohol and cigarettes are much more harmful than weed until you're blue in the face. The Federal government won't listen or rationalize it's decision.

 

I think the problem is, is that he's a role model to a lot of kids, and there he is breaking the law.

 

he's the best there ever was, wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence, at least at his sport, and if he wants to smoke let him smoke, he as using a bong anyway it filters out the bad ****, eitherway he's only hurting his own lung capacity, in turn hurting his swimming ability, but I think it should be legalized for sure, after all it's just a ****in plant

 

he is 8 gold's from this year!! lit him hit the joint lol

 

He still is. He got caught doing something inappropriate and now children can see what happens to successful people who get caught. They get crucified by the media.

 

Heroin is also from a ****in plant. Should it be legalized as well?

 

^ you can buy legal Heroin right now, I have some in my room all you have to do is get really really hurt. I don't smoke weed but i have a lot of friends with great jobs they do. 4 bong rips are a lot better then getting drunk every night.

 

You can buy marijuana legally with a scrip also. I'm not talking about the prescribed dosage pain-killer heroin. I assumed the OP was discussing legal marijuana as in over the counter "I'm 18, here's my ID. I'll take a.....hmmm...just a dime bag for now thanks." legal.
