it has been decriminalized in 30+ States......It is a misdemeanor ...to posses "personal use" quantities Yep. I was just going to say that but you beat me to it. Mass was the last to decriminalize under an oz. Its now a civil matter with a fine of $100 attached. That sounds much more reasonable to me. Of course you cant be in possession of a grip an expect to avoid jail time but then its intent to distribute and thats another can of worms. My personal feeling is we should observe Amsterdam's policy of legalization in your private residence or in designated public areas. |

Yeah but its de-criminalized and becomes a civil offense. Much more reasonable.

I always thought it was funny if I was outside smoking a joint with someone and the police would ride by.. why didn't they care? it was summer time and the police had the windows up anyway for the AC or winter time and the windows were up anyway.. just put your hand down as if it was a cigarette..
and there are officers out there that dont care if you smoke weed in public.. I was in an area in philadelphia one day.. smoking a joint.. oh crap here come the police.. turns out.. *not sure if this is still true, I don't smoke anymore* the police out there really didnt care if you had a little joint.. I was amazed  |

On the streets of Philadelphia the police have bigger fish to fry. If you had been in the suburbs, they might have had more incentive or then again, maybe not. Its a HUGE hassle for them to bust someone with a joint. Generally its a notice to appear and you are on your way unless you have bench warrants.

MM – glad I stopped in - anyone ever hear of the Harrison Act or the “Marijuana” Tax Stamp Act of 1937? How about Timothy Leary or his famous 1969 court case (that he won)?
In brief (very brief) the Harrison Act was a dismal failure and in 1937 became what is called today – the “marijuana” tax stamp Act. It required that anyone purchasing stamps provide their name address and the names and addresses of the ‘clients’ (even doctors). Nothing ever prevented federal agents from making arrests from these records or turning them over to local law enforcement. This was a federal tax act, still on the books as of 1969, when Timothy Leary found himself in court over that act. He claimed the stamp was illegal and violated his Fifth Amendment rights (re: self-incrimination). Yes, he won and the Supreme Court shot the tax stamp down – which led to the ‘federal’ “Control Substance Act” in effect today. However, as of a couple years ago, the last I looked, nearly half the 50 United States had implemented similar stamp acts. The law suits have been enormous and still go on today. I remember in 2005 a guy from Tennessee making an appeal; because the tax they were charging was not a fair tax but an illegal punishment. It may still be in appeal, who knows. The point is, they confiscated the drug (MJ) then proceeded to charge a tax, (like 1.5 million) which he didn’t pay, of course. That led to the trial. You can search it for yourself – amazing. There are dozens of web sites devoted to making MJ legal. Personally, considering the responsible way in which individuals in this country use alcohol, I can’t imagine adding MJ to its legal ranks. My Philosophy: Use it as you wish – suffer the illegal consequences, that’s my position. Millions of people have suffered, and died, at the hands of the ‘responsible’ drunk driver. And then there are millions more who cry for yet another mind altering substance to become legal. ???? The words of an old folk song come to mind; “When will they ever learn?” |

People OD on alcohol, they become violent, they drink and drive. With smoking there is no tendency for violence, it does not affect motor coordination in the same ways and to OD you have to consume an unrealistic amount...it is safer in my eyes than drinking. |

I have never heard of anyone to OD on weed.. and just like alcohol.. its the person.. if they are not responsible they do stupid things.. whether its alcohol weed or robitussin.. and there is no tendency for violence cause everything is so f*kn funny |

Alaska (Can possess up to an ounce legally, personal) correction: Alaska (can possess up to 4 ounces on your own property) Not legally though, still a misdemeanor offense with 1-4oz in any possession. Under an ounce is legal within personal residence. not true. marijuana is legal in the state of Alaska because of the right to privacy clause in the state constitution. in 1990 there was a vote to criminalize marijuana in 1992 it was ruled that the state constitution could not be changed by a vote of the people but rather only by amendment of the state constitution no such amendment has ever been made thus is it still a crime to poses marijuana in any area that is not protected by that constitution or in any amount that exceeds that allowable by the state constitution which stipulates 4 ounces or 1/4 pound for personal use |

Yes, marijuana should be legal. It's an herb not a drug. It has caused zero deaths. It doesn't kill brain cells. In fact studies have shown it improves the brains function. It helps with many health conditions like cancer, multiple sclerosis, hiv/aids, glaucoma, epilepsy, anorexia, chronic pain, nausea, add, autism, mrsa, and the list goes on. Also it's a renewable source of energy. The use of cannabis hemp would help stop deforestation.

Actually.. Marijuana helps make the brain stronger and faster.. its called the 'Buffalo Theory'.. Its like a herd of buffalo.. the herd is strong with many buffalo.. predators come along.. and prey on the slower weaker buffalo.. thus the stronger survive to procreate and create a stronger herd.. weed acts the same way.. killing the weaker slower brain cells.. making the brain faster and stronger.. so hey.. SMOKE IT UP!!!

However with that privacy clause in place it would be difficult to get charged, though still possible. |

It seems likely that in Alaska if you were charged with possession, and you had a past record or warrant, the possession would be more likely to hold up. Thats normally how it goes. Things compound themselves.
