Posession of marijuana is illegal. It was banned in Canada back in the 1920's under the Opium and Drug Act and nothing has changed. If a substance is illegal and a person is using it, that person is breaking the law. Anybody who breaks the law is considered a criminal; therefore your statement is incorrect. All stoners ARE criminals. Maybe not in the sense that they'll break into cars to steal money, but they are still breaking the law.

Looks like you're the one who needs the education.Dumbass.

blarblarblar go blow a unicorn. Breaking the law does not make you a criminal.

You've already been proven wrong but what the fuck do you have against pot users anyway.

Police should have entered the rally and arrested random people. You can't get them all, but you can get some. Make an example out of them by throwing them in jail, fining them... We don't need losers like that.

Mom?

I'm white and born in Canada. What do you have against Chinese people anyway.
Say a guy robs a store but doesn't get caught. You're saying he's not a criminal? I never knew there were so many potheads on Revscene...some community you guys have.

Dont walk into the door knob on the way out.

winson604 04-24-2009 08:49 AM

Don't tell me you haven't ever J walked across the street before or drove faster then the posted speed limit you criminal.

fanatiX 04-24-2009 12:32 PM

i think we should just leave Mr. Perfect PB007 alone, he probably is the perfect human being for never breaking rules and such, he might be a cop? i have no clue and also why is he discriminating against mj users? maybe he has emotional issues concerning about that every1 is breaking rules and he isn't? lol

You'll hate to know that a significant number of the doctors, lawyers, and dentists out there (in addition to a many other high educated professionals) all smoked pot when they were younger, and some still do to this day.

In any large group of individuals such as doctors, lawyers etc, you are bound by statistics to have a percentage of individuals who partake in a given activity. However, just become some professionals smoke marijuana it doesn't mean that it's either a legal or positive activity. A professional designation does not mean its holder has a strong moral compass.

What about paxil, prozac users?

If prescribed by a doctor to treat some sort of mental illness then I see no problem with it. Some forms of mental illness are successfully treated with SSRI's such as Prozac.

If however you are referring to recreational prescription drug users, then I would argue they belong in jail right beside any other criminal.

Apples and oranges. Having a beer while watching the Canucks game or drinking a glass of wine at a business meeting does not entail either breaking the law, supporting organized crime or smelling like a dumpster.

yvrnycracer 04-24-2009 02:54 PM

I just wish that car meets got this kind of nice, friendly reception from the police...

He's not implying that you're breaking the law by drinking. He's implying that alcohol is a drug too. :rolleyes:

woob 04-24-2009 04:52 PM

as is caffeine...


But if legality is the only reason you hate on marijuana, then get your head checked. Following the law letter by letter doesn't make you a perfect person.

and weed does not smell like trash, it smells like weed.

It's called FREEDOM which gives the ability to make the choices which your personally feel right. If you don't like it don't preach to people it's not right this place is shit because we express are choice of FREEDOM in which thousands of people died for to give us this oppertunity.

I know your going to come back saying it's still against the law bla bla bla but shut that fuck up and stop trying to make everyone do what you want to do and live with it.

This is Canada. You can protest whatever you want, wherever you want.

So, 5000+ people that all have weed can get together any where they want? Hmmmmmm maybe next year they will have it in Metro Town, or maybe they will go down to the Vancouver convention center. Get your head out of you ass. This "4/20 celebration" was a protest to try a get it legalized. Most if not all protest rallies are held at Vancouver art gallery. I had heard it had special zoning, but I was not 100% sure. That's why I said correct me if I am wrong! Don't have to be a dick about it.

Correct, there is nothing in the criminal code about possession. It has been decriminalized. It is illegal to distribute. You will find that in the criminal code.

Its people like you who live there life's in a glass bubble worried about everything that happens. Like why did you feel the need to jump in? Why do you want to argue about something that to you is apparently irrelavant.

Tell me, why does this matter to you so much? Why do you feel the need to go off on me?


Ps - I did not attend 4/20.

Lomac 04-24-2009 06:40 PM

I'm anti-weed because I get near-deathly ill from even just the smoke. That right there is reason enough for me to fight against it becoming legalized.

cressydrift 04-24-2009 07:11 PM

^ That's fair. Do you feel we should make peanut butter illegal because I know a few people that if consumed would die without immediate attention. Or bee's, maybe we should kill them off.

Cue getting into a bubble.

You don't get attacked with a sudden cloud of peanut butter walking down the street, or sitting on your porch.

Next.

Edit: Yes, people are highly allergic to many things, some of which can't be controlled (bee's, pollen, etc). However, I'm not going to willingly give up control of my life so people can feel euphoric by smoking some plants in the house next door. I can't even go to concerts anymore because of the amount of weed.

You weren't smoking Marijuana if that's the case.

unidentified 04-25-2009 02:44 AM

I really don't understand the people that are so strongly against the recreational use of marijuana for no reason other than the fact that it is prohibited by law. There is tons of evidence out there that shows cigarettes as being significantly more harmful than marijuana and yet cigarettes remain legal. Also, there are a number of things that are legal now that were prohibited in the past so you can't say something is inherently wrong just because it is illegal.

Nightwalker 04-25-2009 04:18 AM

Actually, seeing that vid with that many people all there together, and that much smoke rising in the air, and no arrests being made, makes me pretty proud to be Canadian.

StylinRed 04-25-2009 05:41 AM

im anti-drugs/weed/cigs/alcohol/gambling(although i do buy the odd lottery ticket at times when its 20+million)

i dont have a problem with ppl doin it tho




however i saw a picture of the 4/20 gathering and noticed some kids (pre-teen early teens) that were there and i think thats wrong and the ppl who were there shoulda kicked em out
