I hear it's easier for kids to get their hands on marijuana than it is alcohol
i'm not from usa i dunno about that. if it's true then it's probably because the people who sell it have no moral. but well thats what you get from making it illegal and let criminals have the market.
I linked something about this pages ago......Why are you still arguing that marijuana would be easy to get if it was in stores? It would make it harder to get!
i didn't see this topic pages ago because i have a life and have not time to check evrything evry day. also am i not reading evrything back because that is simply to much work if i have to do that whit evry topic.
also do i disagree whit the idea that it will be harder if it is going to be sold openly in any store. only when you sell it in a pesific kind of store (coffeeshops) you will be able to controle the age of the buyers. if it becomes a free product for evry1 to sell. then evry1 will be able to get it. also those you don't want to to get it.
Actually people are getting much smarter with carding. There are still some issues with kids using fake IDs, but other than that, carding is generally enforced here.

I think all drugs should be legalized and taxed. We would be getting money out of it instead of putting money into it, it would generate jobs and since the user has a better chance of getting a purer form of the drug of choice.
If you are not going to be pro active, then why debate at all? You are slowing the debate to a crawl, and keeping it from moving at all. But allow me to explain why marijuana is so easy to get right now, and why legalization would make it harder to come by.
The way things are right now, drug dealers will buy marijuana from a grower, and sell them. If you want drugs, you need to go see this dealer. He takes your money and you get the marijuana. Dealers need to make money, so who cares if a 12 year old wants to buy off them?
The reason it is so easy to find drugs, is because drug dealers are like a convenience store. They are more the happy to sell to you.
So how would legalization make it harder for kids to get? Simple, it takes away the adult buyers, who are going to go buy the pot sold in stores, That has been tested and given the approval for consumption by a scientist, and is LEGAL for them to buy. Why go to the drug dealer when you can go to any store and pick some up?
So now the drug dealers are out a lot of money, so they raise prices. And kids don't have all that much money, so not many are going to be able to buy it.
Legalization and selling in stores will also reduce the number of people trying hard drugs. The number one way people end up on crack is having a dealer push it onto them. For instance, if I went to buy some weed, and my dealer says "Well, I'm all out of that, but how about some crack?" I could end up in a situation where I buy it and smoke it with him. This will completely go away with legalization, because why go to a dealer when you have a cleaner, safer alternative?

Not to mention all of the money spent on policing and jailing users. It would help people get help for addiction as well. Right now, it's rehab, and then jail. Making them legal would change that as well.

your saying this forum is only for misfits whitout a life?
i'm active when i can and when i want. my own life is more importend to me then this forum.

danm you realy have high hopes of how those things will be runned xD
you don't have to test marijuana. because you will smell and tast it instandly if some1 has done something whit it. it's a natures product not human made in a brewery or something. and nature will always make it grow right.
as for the rest of your post. i compleetly agree whit it except that you use the word: "Why go to the drug dealer when you can go to any store and pick some up?"
if your going to sell it in any store. then there will be stashes all over place wich is easy for kids and teens to find - steal - smoke it.

Actually, they might do to marijuana what they do with cigarettes. Cigarettes can't be sold on shelves, they must be sold behind the counter so that cashiers must get them for you. Not saying I agree with it being a law, but I do agree with it as a business practice.

hmmm yea thats not what i ment whit stashes. i ment the stash in the backroom. inmagion a teenager working at wall-markt and walks upon the weed stash in the back-room. he can simply take it and bring some for his friends. maybe wall-markt put a camera on it or whatever. but most smaller stores wont. all those stashes waiting to be put in the store are the places they will get it from. you need to controle the way from grower to buyer. and not let evry1 sell it freely.

This can be said for cigarettes and alcohol as well. You could also argue that there's a concern they could steal anything, which there is that concern. However, I seriously doubt it will be that big of an issue, and those who do try to steal it will obviously be fired if caught. I am certain it won't be a common problem.
It's better to sell marijuana everywhere and risk employees stealing it than restricting where marijuana may be bought. At least, that's my opinion. I see no reason why stores shouldn't be able to sell marijuana. Why prohibit stores from selling marijuana because someone might steal from them? A product shouldn't be pulled off the shelves because it might be stolen.

I've been watching this thread after posting secretly for a long time *maniacally petting over-weight feline*
I don't know about where you live, but all grocery stores have security cameras throughout, in the U.S. . The only place that doesn't have a security camera are the restrooms. So if someone tries to thieve the weed in the back, they won't be getting anywhere without loosing their job and being put in jail for theft.
Hence the reason why they will most likely be treated the same as such: put on the back of the shelf with the chew, cigarettes, and for some stupid reason condoms, while being given the same label by the Surgeon General of the harmful effects attributed to using it. All drugs are products, but not all products are drugs.
