Preliminary polls show it's going to be very close.

I don't have much to say yet, other than I'd like to see it legalized so we can finally stop wasting so much money on putting non-violent people in prision for smoking a plant. I've written a LOT on this topic, and am looking forward to seeing what people in this forum think about this issue. But for now, I would just like to ask what people in here generally feel about this issue, and what they'd like to see done.

Peronally I'm surprised Oregon hasn't had something like this proposed before, as they've already decriminalized it state wide...

Anyway, have at it!

Just keep 'em smoking and driving... and thats all I need.

It's been tried before in Nv and shot down. No matter how it comes out the Gubment still considers it a crime to possess no matter what State laws a legislature passes. Federal trumps state laws any and every day of the week.

So... Nevada and Colorado are voting on legalizing the operation of an automobile or heavy machinery while intoxicated. You've clearly thought this through.

[loserOlimbs]

Whoops, meant keep them from smoking and driving.

I don't want them driving while their stoned, not a pretty sight!

Now I can agree with that. I think legal in home personal use (or in church) is all I think is necessary to make most happy.

That is until you get the SUPER MUNCHIES 10 min after smoking some Skunk and then climb into your car with crappy brakes heading for 7/11 and running through the front plate glass and kill 12 other hippies who we're there for the same reason..

Karma, it's just not for breakfast anymore

No, its just like booze. Neither state says its legal to drink and drive and the same would be the case for reefer. The drug war is one of the greatest shames perpetrated on the American people. Billions of dollars go into interdiction, rehabilitation, etc and the problem only gets worse!

The problem is weak willed losers who havn't any will power and succomb to peer pressure. There would be no drug problem if you just say no. (Hey man, I got some sweet weed and crank. No Thanks man) --- See how Ez that was.. You start doing public executions of dope dealers and that would help the problem. And I don't mean 10 yrs after conviction. You get convicted and it's an automatic 1 month in solitary and then it's bye bye.

What an ingenius insight. I think the democratic party has an opening for new spokesperson, since Howard Dean is proving to be not quite radical enough. You should send in your resume.

Yep, same as alcohol...I'm tired of people weaving in front of me when they're straight..

No, Howard is good where he's presently at, plus I can't get that scream like he does.
You want results or fluff. The world was built on radical ideas. Good and bad. and you think I have "ingenius insight". Thanks, I knew you'd smarten up hanging around me.

I feel sorry for anyone who buys drugs and and gets high on a daily basis to hide from their problems or depression. I definately do not support legalization, regardless of whether or not it is unhealthy. Some people need to learn how to face their problems and actually do something with their life. There are hundreds of millions of people starving around the world that would die (figure of speech) to live in north america with a job and food, and meanwhile we have people sitting around here thinking they live in happy land, wasting oxygen and space with their pathetic existance.

I know some people like this. Their life is: work, get high, party, get drunk, sleep, work.... The cycle loops over and over. One of them almost died when he, drunk and high, hit a tree, speeding away from cops in an unregistered vehicle with a suspended license. I dont even think that broke the cycle though.

I'm voting in favor of it. Nevada is limited to having no more than an ounce (I don't even really know how that is), and it can only be enjoyed at home. Not outside, not in restaurants, not while you're sitting there gambling. The taxes imposed are a good thing. The state would also save money by not having to arrest and incarcerate pot smokers.

Yep, it's about time the state gets in on some of the money. Sounds like everyone wins.
