Marijuana will not be legalized. Too many lawyers, drug counselors, probation officers etc. make too much money on it being illegal.

Smoking pot is one of the major causes of global warming.

Nice mellow people, but I heard their march took a turn down the wrong street.

Cannabis ... is the strongest natural fiber known to man

Not really. Spider silk, a natural fiber, although one we can't harvest easily, is much stronger.

The same group rallied in front of former U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris' office last July, but was not motivated to lambast her as initially planned.

LOL. Now why do you supposed they lost their motivation to protest ????? ;-)

Just assuming, just, if pot is legalized we’d have one of the strictest and most enforced laws to keep street sales illegal.
No more peddlers tolerated, strictly, with steep fines for violators.
Politicians, primarily locals, will follow their urge to protect the masses for the purpose of collecting taxes, taxes, and some more taxes, then do some additional protecting by taxes, but short of negatively affecting “legal” sales.

Something about the idea, of Stoners marching, is just really funny. Mayne they could have a Precision Bong Drill Team.

Legalizing marijuana would lower crime & free up precious law enforcement resources to go after really bad people. The time has come. It's time to stop putting money in the pockets of organized crime & politicians - oops! I'm sorry, that was redundant, wasn't it?

"The Florida Cannabis Action Network will hold signs at Fruitville Road and Washington Boulevard, making Sarasota one of 232 cities around the world taking part."

Wait a minute. Some dopers holding up signs at one street corner qualifies the entire city of Sarasota as one of "232 cities around the world" taking part?

Pardon me if I'm not impressed.

I have never indulged in marijuana. That said its use and posession should be legalized immediately and without undue further delay.

If some idiots want to get stoned, fine. If they operate motor vehicles, there are already plenty of laws against that. Off to gaol they shall go.

Most folk on dope are too dopey and clumsy and obvious to be dangerous: quite the contrary, it is an easy matter to arrest them and slap on the cuffs — in their current condition they do not care. They are generally docile and goofy, perhaps even entertainingly so.

So where is the harm? Why do we spend squillions enforcing a law against a plant that is essentially a very hardy noxious weed, universally available? And so what if it is dangerous for health? So is tobacco. Alcohol is every bit as dangerous.

Mary Jane should be legalized and free for use as the stupid person’s drug-of-choice. By doing so, it would also be available for legitimate medical purposes, of which I understand there are many: particularly pain relief.

This could be legalized in ten minutes, max. It’s a no-brainer.

Seems a very appropriate location.

It never fails to amuse me how threads like this draw all the closet hippies out to the munchies table.

Marijuana is HARMFUL.

At least that’s what I learned in the 60’s....but,

I don’t remember why......

Hah! They were probably too stoned to care anymore!

A lot of those Mad Max types wrote the stupid questions that Cesspool Matthews used in the Rep. debate.

[Vinnie]

So, they ban tobacco and legalize marijuana?
I don’t think so.

[Moonman62]

A group pushing to legalize marijuana plans to march at noon today as part of the annual Global Marijuana March.

Darn, I missed it. I didn't even know there was such a thing.
