Fuck yeah, apparently not everybody agrees, but I myself wouldn't mind winter year round.

well, if it does pass, and they do legalize it, which I doubt the US government would let the law be legal... but if they managed to get it into action, I sure as hell hope they make stiff laws against driving under the influence of it a high crime just like DUI. marijuana can impaire your judgement just as effectively as alcohol.

*edit* Plus, one thing I just thought of, but if it becomes legal, you know how many cases in the prison system will then go to challenge there convictions, and the possible influx of prisoners let out onto the street. some of them violent, and the one thing that helped them get convicted, was that marijuana charge.....

Wouldn't it not matter, since the trials were run under the law of the time?

SniperX13 · #12 08-20-2004, 06:33 AM

under the old laws they were convicted yes, but they can challenge it under the new law, which supercedes the old law, and pretty much makes it defunct.

Ergh. Now that's going to be ugly.

I'm not worried about people getting out of jail because this law passed. They broke the laws at that time. Not only that, but even if they say possesion is legal now, growers did not have licenses, sellers didn't pay taxes and of course any other crime committed (theft, assault, etc) would not get washed out by it.

People in prision for possession should be released anyway and just fined several thousand.

Yeah right Sniperx. I DO NOT agree with you man. You drink 12 a pack and your falling on your ass (some people), you dont know what your saying, you cant remember anything. Dude don't get me started on the cons of both. I have NO WHERE NEVER been as shitfaced as I have drinking beer. And all of them poor souls SHOULD be let out of prison. They didn't do anything wrong that our for-fathers didnt do. Yeah I bet there are guys sucking dick for a joint, or running in your house stealing your fridge for a bong hit, get the hell out of here man. There has NEVER been ONE death caused by marijuana. Cigarettes and Beer KILLED MANNY!!! So lets legal the killer drugs, but the ones that make you happy...make it illegal.

ANYWAY, Alaska isn't that bad weather wise. But still if they make it legal the private sector (jobs) still will prolly hold the right to not hire you ya know, and that would really suck.
