I think marijuana should be legalized, but that still doesn't mean that I want guys selling it out of their houses where I live.

I've registered complaints with SCPD, and they handled the situation. In one incidence I called them up regarding goings-on at a park near me where there was drug dealing and fights breaking out every other day.

A week later when I went down to shoot some hoops, I heard some of the filth on the handball courts complaining about how the cops came down one night, put them up against the wall and took "their weed and pipes, man."

I giggled to myself.

even if it does eliminate the black market, you don't think there will be other social problems on top of what we already have?

how about you tell people not to smoke it would't that also eliminate the black market?

why do people want to smoke weed anyway?

why don't people take the money they spend on weed and do something constructive with their lives?

I think that people who tend to become addicted to things and ruin their lives will do so in many cases regardless of what is legal or illegal. The social problems caused by legalizing weed would pale in comparison to the damage the alcohol does, but alcohol is part of our social fabric that is relatively harmless when used by non-addicts.

There is lots of things people spend money on that is enjoyable to them that is just as wasteful. I dislike going to the movie theaters very much and it is a big waste of money for alot of people.

Why do people go to the movies anyway?

What the hell makes you think someone who smokes weed doesnt do anything constructive with their life? People like yourself seem to only think the only ones that smoke weed are teens that hangout at 7-11. I guess Michael Phelps never did anything worth wild huh?

I personally think that legalizing marijuana is ridiculous. It is USUALLY (not always) a stepping stone on the way to other drugs. It does kill many brain cells as well. I smoke cigarettes and wish they were illegal when I began because now I have a hard time quitting and if they were illegal when I was younger I would not have started.

For the topic of the drug dealing; notify the local precinct. Go there in person if you have to and politely explain the situation and ask whom you can speak to about it. More than likely they will refer you to a narcotics unit. If nothing happens right away it will be due to the fact as one other person posted that the police need to see it happening. If they decide there is something going on and they simply can't see transactions taking place they will eventually do the "buy and bust" tactic that takes time to do. They have to get someone undercover to buy and normally they need a certain amount of buys before they can take them down.

going to the movie is not illegal.
could be constructive to some people, they could watch a movie write a review, post to their blog, make money from ADs or affiliate <- nothing illegal there

doing something constructive don't mean writing the next best selling novel, the way i see it, its positive for yourself, people around you or society.


so smoking weed is enjoyable, but their are many other thing people could do that are enjoyable and not illegal, so why do people still choose to smoke weed?


i not a doctor but if i have to guess weed is not going to improve Michael Phelps lungs, he is hurting himself and the people around him
