because movies are just made for fun. anything that's in one shouldn't be taken seriously. pot is illegal because people rob and kill just for a bit of it, until they get killed by it. it's just to protect us, i think.

My dad listens to Howard Stern and some other Sirius radio shows and apparently a lot of them get high and go on the air, talking about how they are high on the air.

That is something I never really understood.

They probably were sold pot laced with cocaine or something, because pot doesn't make you commit crime, it actually chills you out

maybe. i just know that in some countries there are desperate dudes that really do that. but you've got a point: it just chills you out, and maybe they're sold with coke. i dunno.

Yeah, it's a real common gag for them to pull. I can't remember why they do it. Amsterdam has legal cannabis, bu you don't see tthe, commiting crimes

i actually consider amsterdam a neutral place on that matter, since there your freedom is so high at the point that you can make sex at night in national parks. IN PUBLIC. i'm definetly going there when i get older.

Amsterdam is fantastic. I was way too stoned to fuck anyone though :P

Also, on topic in "Cheech and Chong" they really were high a lot of the time. Or so I've heard.

Some movies ARE made in countries where marijuana is legal.

that's everyone's main argument in this thread, but it's not very valid

Actually it's very valid.

Your argument is we can see pot smoking in movies so why can't we do it in the real world, this example shows the flaws in your argument.

Just because we see it in a film it doesn't justify it in the real world.

unless you give specific examples of how violence is seen as a good thing in movies.

And pot smoking is seen a good thing in movies? If I'm not mistaken the majority of movies see pot smokers as teenager lay-around's that accomplish nothing.

Hey it's just what I've heard. If they weren't high they are better actors than I've given them credit for.

I thought movies like Dazed and Confused showed that that could be something though.

Like I did not get the feeling that they were lay-arounds, they were just kids.

Most movies now I guess.

Do you know what would happen in ghettos if pot was legal...death rates would rise and all that plus killing over the weed.
But right now is not a good time to legalize weed because of the recession not as much people are buying drugs...

Although yes, it is illegal to smoke pot, and murder, and rape, the movies are made for the viewing audience, who likes to watch people smoking pot, murdering, and raping.
For the case of the pot movies, however, they're usually made for the sake of the stoner. People are going to smoke pot anyways, even if it is illegal. So why not make a movie that pleases that kind of audience?

Lol more like the complete opposite, they would turn into street weed markets with music and good food probably. Wait a lot of them already are. Because most people in ghettos actually aren't that viiolent.

Bigot.

I don't know if this is true or not, but apparently there is a form of legal pot that has had the THC removed. Also, pot isn't that big of a crime so long as you're not trying to sell it and don't have a shitload on you. In a few states it has been decriminalized, meaning that so long as you don't make it obvious you have it or try to sell it you're fine, and if you do get caught with it you'll get a slap on the wrist and get it confiscated.


omg I have to think of a clever sig!
