How many countries have legalized *********? I see it coming to America in the next 10 years or so. I just wonder how far we are behind the rest of the world.

Just call it "Mary Jane".
And uh, in the UK you can get done for posession or a load of other really niche situations where your hand may touch the leaf of the plant or whatever.
Yet I still smell it mixed with tobacco in the street quite often so I guess no one really cares.

As a young man I used to smoke a lot of greenery. Before going out we used to pre-roll everything we had and if it was a nice night, we'd sit on a picnic bench in the local park and smoke all night long. The police used to patrol through this park (there was an access road through the middle) but in several years of using this as a spot to hang out, only once did the police bother to come over and check out what we were doing.
This to my mind is policing at it's best. Yes, if they had come over we were breaking the law. However we never caused any trouble at all, so there was never any reason for them to come visit us.
As for UK laws, drop it on the ground before they get to you. It becomes your word versus theirs and will never make it to court. ---

I heard from a news story that a politician in California is considering legalizing the sale of MaryJane to help ease the massive debt they've accumulated.

I'm surprised it hasn't been considered. Especially considering the calming effects of being baked - Crime might go down! Shortly followed by a plummet in people turning up for work...

Yes because, without a doubt, a sage plant which recreates the effect of a severe acid trip for 2 - 5 minute when smoked is on par with weed.
Not that it isn't fun, but it's not really an every-day drug. 族---族

Here in Germany it's technically illegal to possess, but most courts won't bother to prosecute a possession charge if it was clearly for personal use because the German Supreme Court overturned the law outlawing ********* in 1994. So basically, it's illegal but only enforced for traffickers.

Not legal in the UK thats for sure. Although alcohol, lighter fluid and glue can be bought from most shops, all three are much worse than "the green stuff" when abused by human beings.

If the police catch you smoking it, you have two options.
1. If they know what it is because of the smell, you can pretty much bet they smoke it themselves. 2. If they only suspect you of smoking it, let them know that they are also smkoing it by being near you and breathing the smoke.
Either way, the police are just as guilty of using it too  --

If you know what cigarattes smell like, then see somone smoke a joint (even if you dont know it is one) it will smell different. seeing as you know the only other thing that people normally recreationally smoke in public, you come to the conclusion that they are smoking weed. Simples!
And completely off topic, why is pedobear in your sig michael? Though, in hindsight; I really should put in some sort of spacer between my post and signature |

An know a fair few current and ex coppers, and drug education is part of the training course. They pass around examples of various forms of the more common drugs, in particular the varying different forms of cannibanoids. Makes sense really, you don't want over zealous youngsters nicking folk for possession of oregano or OXO cubes do you?
Allegedly, not all the samples made it back to the front of the classroom. 
Interestingly enough I was present at a drug bust some years ago.
I went with a mate to the house of a local supplier, and waited outside in the car with another mate while he went in. "I'll only be 5 minutes" he said, as he dissapeared up the entry.
10 mins later, he's not come out and we surmised that he was probably having a social smoke, spliff etiquette dontcherknow. After 20 mins, we decided enough was enough, so we went in after him.
Upon reaching the back gate, I could see into one of the upstairs rooms of the house, where I noticed a girl I used to be at school with who had signed up with the rozzers after leaving school. Didn't think anything of it at the time, as I'd been to parties locally where she'd also been present, and I knew she liked a smoke; she was prolly there for something herself thought I.
Unfortunately, although I knew she was a copper, I was unaware that she'd been transferred to the local drug squad, and that she was there in a professional capacity.
Knocked on the door, and it was opened by this 6'3" troll of an over-muscled (seriously; he had muscles in places I didn't even have places), glaring skinhead, with a look on his face like I'd just murdered his mum in front of him. I've rarely seen anyone so frightening. Bear in mind I'm still in my late teens at this point; I was terrified.
"Is (my tardy mate) there", I quaked. "Yeah... he's busy. You want some mate?", he thundered threateningly. "Erm.... no, I'm OK for now thanks." I muttered, my ringpiece by now happily munching its way through my underwear, "Just tell him we want to get a move on and we'll be in the car"... and I started to edge out of the back yard and towards the relative safety of the street. "Hang on lads." he says, and produces a warrant card!! Feck; he's a copper. Then the penny dropped.
We were escorted into the house and into the front room, where another only slightly less terrifying copper was snapping on a pair of rubber gloves. At this point my poor sphincter had finished my man-at-Birkenhead-market boxers and was starting in on my jeans.
"Don't worry lads, we just need to check your pockets", he says with a wide grin, obviously having seen the look of abject terror cross my face. We were duly searched, but luckily I didn't have anything incriminating on me.
We then had a half-hour wait for the arrival of the dog van. Having found various small amounts knocking about the house, they felt a full search of the premises was in order.
When the dog van did arrive, in bounded a ****er Spaniel that looked like it had been on three successful amphetamine busts that evening already. Said dog proceeded to bounce around the house and furniture in a frenzy until plod decided that there prolly wasn't anything else to discover, shortly after which we were released, whilst the owner of the house was carted off to the local bridewell.
So, yes... coppers do smoke, although I'm sure it's not all of them... honest.
Incidentally, the dog missed a 9 bar (9 ounces of resin for the sheltered lifers amongst you) that was hidden under floorboards in the bathroom, and the amounts found elsewhere didn't amount to anything more than a simple possession charge for one lad daft enough to still have some in his pockets by the time the rozzers gripped him; they couldn't even make anything stick on the (alleged) dealer as he'd (allegedly) thrown his stash across the room when he'd heard the door go.

Edited by: DubanFP on 26/02/2009 21:21:49 In CT we've legalized possession of small quantities of it for private use. Still illegal to intentionally grow and sell though. Also although like you said people are willing to legalize it, but nobody is going to stand up and actually do it within the next 10 years. The problem is that it would be akin to political suicide for whoever does stand up and propse the actual bill. _______________

Edited by: Slade Trillgon on 26/02/2009 21:40:06 As of two days ago California, I heard in response to the state goverment laying off a bunch of people, are seriously thinking about going against the Fed and legalizing MJ.
I have smoked weed for about 12 years now with periods of abstinence. I smoke now in very small quantities and typically for medicinal purposes that I will not go into due to it being a whole other story. I also have a background in the use of a good number of other drugs that I am not necessarily proud of.
A funny side story. I was blazed this past Sunday and I was thowing darts. I happened to be throwing with a county cop I know and one of his K-9 buddies. I schooled both of them and they both throw more frequently then I But then again they were drinking alcohol 
Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Just get some Salvia, from what I've been reading it's actually legal.
The first time I smoked salvia I felt like I was getting sucked into the reality of the show that was on TV at the time and literally felt like I was having to grab the sides of the TV to keep from getting sucked into it. That is something that could be very disturbing for someone that is not familiar with being in altered states mind.
Originally by: Keta Min Salvia is something totally different and not particularly pleasant for recreational use either.
That being said, one of my closest friends, of 23 years, who has hardly smoked weed and when I say hardly, I mean less then 1 gram in his life, smoked a little salvia. We were hanging out after a pen and paper session a year ago and salvia came up. His younger brother said that he had some and his older brother instantly said he wanted to try it. I said you should put on some good music. My friend chose Pink Floyd. He smoked the salvia and then procceded to thoroughly enjoy the 2 minute experience.
So, in conclusion, any mind-altering substance, used within controlled situations, can create eye-opening experiences. But if one is unable to control the urge, or call, to feel that state again and agin is where the problem lies.
Addiction is something that, no matter the form of the substance, will kill. Funny thing is that we have not found that point with Mary Jane, for example lung cancer , yet it continues to be criminalized in many areas. The answer to why it is criminalized has not truly been uncovered, but there are plenty of theories out there as to why.

That is a bull****, the smell of weed is so distinct, anyone who has once ever smelt (smelled?) it or has been told about the smell will recognise it.
We have it and I don't understand what the bloody fuss is about. Every foreigner always acts like its the god-damn holy grail. I have tried it 2, 3 times in my life and its effect is hugely overrated, then again it seems to have the most effect on people with poor physical condition. (skinny kids with a poor diet who already chain-smoke and who cant sprint fifty yards before they cap out)
So, yeah, if you're desperate to try it drop me an eve mail and I'll tell you all about it but its hugely overrated.

Do you really want the government controlling the distribution of weed? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that, rofl. I bet the prices would be ridiculous.
I guess it'd be nice for people who don't have dealers though.
I smoke in public all the time and have never been "busted" or anything like that. I guess the cops around here are extremely lazy or just don't give a ****. Or they smoke themselves. >_> _____

I would not call it the holy grail, but it can be argued that the plant itself is potentially one of the most usefull plants known to man. Brief history of Hemp. For example, before industrialization, hemp was used solely for rigging and sails, for pretty much all boats.

In the California link I posted above, California is suggesting a charge to become a seller(I heard like $2500-$5000) and a $50 tax per once sold. So the price may inflate minutely, while the sellers will still keep a massive profit Time will only tell if the sellers are nice enough to drop the price after the taxes and business license charges are added in.
