The Pot Party

I am not against pot, I am against legalising it.

So, you are okay with people using pot, but don't mind that they end up in jail (possibly for years) over it?


All of our states have different rules and laws (outside of federal laws, but federal laws trump state laws). For example, some don't give warnings or fines, it's just jail time automatically, regardless of the amount. It's a bit extreme, which is why we push for some form of legalization.

Even if we just were required to have a license to grow or possess marijuana, I would think that is okay. As long as there is a legal way to do it!

That is two separate issues.

Are you now asking if I support automatic jail time for a single toot?

Actually - no!

From what I have read about laws and regulations in the UK, it doesn't seem quite as bad or strict, correct? Are there ways to go about it in a legal way?


We don't have much leniency or choice in the US yet, but I think we're heading that way. Mostly medically, which is what I find most important anyway. Basically, to be against it being legal here is to support the current laws, and they can be pretty harsh. Over here, many people who are against pot agree with people going to jail for it no matter what.

Luckily, I think more people are leaning toward us not considering it a crime like we do currently.

I guess for once the polls aren't lying? ;p

I am not really in touch anymore, but first offence is usually a fine unless you have enough to be considered a dealer.

Though, I do believe that the police are only prosecuting the villains, as it is an easy bust, rather than simple pot smokers.

Maybe the shops are just aHead of the times!

lol

"It's high time we get high".... are those some of the lyrics?? hehe

Yes, but she will have to revise her lyrics to the ones I mentioned for our rally ;-)

Pottsville is a funny name, I thought maybe it wasn't a real city at first lol

Even though alcohol is legal, not everyone partakes. The same could be said for MJ. Countries benefit monetarily from their sales from alcohol and would from their weed sales as well. And Heather, Pottsville is a real place. There's a directional sign in Pa. for 2 close-by towns; the top of the sign says Shamokin and right under that, it says Pottsville. A bunch of people have taken pics of that sign!

Like us?

Or.... the Jen version... "If there's a will, there's an eh!" ;p

Heather, when I mentioned the Shamokin/Pottsville sign to my friend Beth Ann, she said that she has a picture of it.

Everyone here is part of The Pot Party, just with slight variations of what they agree with ;-)

I know we're all pretty much on the same page for legalizing medical marijuana!
