I just looked it up in wiki and its true... damn... What's the reasoning behind this? Why is the law so hardcore down there? Anyway if OP or anyone else are interested in official info about legality of cannabis, heres the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country seems to be up to date. | ||

Marijuana does harm your lungs slightly aswell since you're smoking something, Mary Jane heats up to some huge numbers when smoked which can injure your lungs.

Weed is even less harmful as far as "hobbies" go because i'd imagine you smoke far lesser amounts of it to feel satisfied... Or am i wrong here? I don't practice weed myself so i very well could be. | ||

But then again, getting shitfaced every morning with a bottle of whiskey is perfectly legal, its a cultural thing. | ||

Noone may legally possess it,sell it or use is. It is not even allowed for medical purposes and if cause with any amout, you will be heavily fined or even serve time in jail. The fine and prison time wil depend on the amout you are caught with.. So its safe to say that there is a no tolerance approach to weed. Some companies even fo frequant drug tests just to see if empoyees do weed. | ||

I don't get why alcohol and tabacco is legal and weed isn't pretty much everywhere. marijuana and other drugs are only illegal so that the price stays artificially high. in this way the CIA and other cartels maximize their profits. there is also the ability to ostracize any nation who has a drug trade. for instance, columbia and other s american nations' cocaine operations offered convenient excuses for the US economic hit-men to enter the country in the 80s under the guise of "cleaning up the place" when in fact they just wanted to control the nation's resources, markets, and take the drugs for themselves to sell in the US. | ||

I currently have 4..5...6? I dunno I lost track of these ridiculous 100 dollar fines...when I get caught with marijuana I say to the cops face that he is wasting tax payer dollars and I know that there is nothing he can do to make me pay the fine. In some areas of Massachusetts the police don't even bother ticketing because they know it's futile. In Quincy, MA I got caught and got the sergeant so angry he started yelling at me the top of his lungs..yeah...never got a ticket there. ONE of my tickets I got I have to pay because the police found a way to get around the vague language of the new law. What they do is bring u to small claims court and sue u for the 100 dollars that you owe in the ticket...what's insane is that it costs like 30 dollars to file a small claims...PLUS however much it costs to have an officer in court that day...it definitely costs more than 100 tax payer dollars to collect that 100 dollar ticket. its nuts...oh and it's small claims so the absolute worst thing that can happen if I don't show up is I just have to pay the 100 dollars...and thats exactly what happened...I didn't show up and I just ended up having to pay the 100 bucks...if I showed up I would have lost a day of work and had to pay the 100 bucks anyways....the marijuana law in ma is silly | ||

Pfft, don't be silly! The CIA would never deal with marijuana! Weed is bulky and hard to smuggle and the profit margins are too low per kilo. Heroin and crack cocaine are the CIA's cash commodities of choice. (See the books by Alfred McCoy and Gary Webb for details). Keeping cannabis banned is just their way of clamping down on the competition. | ||

Here in Germany we have the Betäubungsmittelgesetz BtMG. In general, if you are a dealer you will be punished much harder than if you are just owning it. As far as I know, if you get caught with <5g police will take it from you and some state attorney will send you a letter that the crime you committed is not that big of a deal so they wont get to court. My roommate just got such a letter, there it was like "And remember, using drugs is bad and if you get caught again you will probably go to jail" bla bla If you have more than 5g you are fucked (I dont think you have to go to jail immediately, you will have to pay some fine ) because as an convicted felon you get an entry in your criminal record. Good luck getting a job then t.t | ||

I haven't been caught with it, but unless you get an asshole cop they usually just take it away(and probably smoke it themselves later...) as long as you don't have a whole crap load of previous offenses. | ||

I think our law here about weed or any illegal drug is pretty tight..though most of the time people can just get away with it by bribing the police or by paying bail out. Sometimes the NBI would step in and raid a drug house. | ||
