Legalize It
So…research shows that there are many benefits to using marijuana for medicinal purposes and that it can be quite the aid to people suffering the side effects of cancer treatment. There are already a few states in the US that allow for the cultivation and distribution of medicinal marijuana…WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? I say: corner the market man! Do you know how much resources are wasted trying to chase marijuana farmers, the mules and then the poor user who is caught with an ounce? To what end?
I am emphatically against legalization of narcotics so don’t bother rebutting with: it is a gateway drug blahsiblah. I am also against minors engaging in recreational use so don’t come to me with that either. Don’t come to me with the idea of contributing to moral decay either: Belize is pretty immoral already and plenty of damage is done with alcohol which is legal.
I am simply saying that we treat it like an industry with funding, regulations and TAXATION. When you control this already booming industry, you eliminate a certain level of corruption, violence and even dependence. There will be a certain level of accountability which is not achievable as the current situation stands.
I sincerely believe that the idea bears consideration. Most North and Central American countries are examining it…there just might be something to it.
I agree, time to legalize the natural things… TOO many folks in jail over a stick a weed… Having criminals backgrounds and being treated as “Criminals” in the same category as a murderer or a rapist.. Criminal is Criminal…

Just saw this and thought I’s share! Was that the reason for the poll this AM. Which House of Representative member smokes?
Yo Mama
The House of Rep poll was for smoking hot NOT smoking pot. AL
Ha ha ha ha!!!! I love it!
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA, it will make the world a better place.
Absolutely agree, the Police and BDF have better things to do than searching and the counting, yes I am told they actually count the plants, before slash and burn. People are in Jail for having one smoke of week on them which achieves nothing but puts those youths in jail with real criminals. I have never used weed but have read and have been told so many times of its properties. I have never read of anyone getting high on weed and beating up or driving under the influence like happens with alcohol from our many, many roadside bars.
it really is heartbreaking to see how many people are in jail for weed…which is just, lets face it, a training ground for how to become a real criminal.
