I´m pro-legalization. The only argument of the majority of people, and I think the strongest argument around, is we don´t know the long term side effects of weed consumption. I´ll give you that, but I´ve never heard of anyone overdosing on weed or having to have their stomach pumped because they ate too many brownies or smoked too much...so it´s my opinion weed is less harmful to humans than alcohol consumption. We can apply every law that applies to alcohol (no smoking and driving, no public smoking, no underage smoking....etc etc.) and have a functioning society.

I was just in Amsterdam this past week and found that legalization of marijuana had no adverse impact on the society at all. If people want to smoke they go to coffee shops...if people want to drink, they go to bars...drinking and smoking is not allowed in either one of them. And everyone is happy...riding around on their bicycles, going to work, shopping, etc etc.

As far as functioning societies go, you'd have a hard time beating theirs.

And concerning drinking and smoking hash at the same place, you can. I was doing it at The Bulldog with a friend 4 weeks ago. It was the first time I lit up in 25 years.

Some things are meant and rule bound to yourself.

What does that mean?

Did Deputy say he did it himself?

I'll take that as a yes.
