The federal government has repeatedly forbidden any states to decriminalize the sale or use of marijuana, as in California a few years back when some folks decided it would be a good thing if people suffering from AIDS or cancer treatment drugs could legally take a few tokes so that they might not feel quite so miserable every minute of every day, but the Fed said "Hell no you don't" and that's still the general consensus to this day. I doubt that I will see the decriminalization of pot in this country in my lifetime.

Yes. In fact, it's legal in all 50 states.

The only place I've even heard of weed be legal to smoke is the Netherlands (Amsterdam), and it's not even legal to grow it there.  You have to buy it from a "coffee shop."\n\nSo, I'm going to assume that since I've never heard of weed being legal in Australia, that it is indeed illegal to use and of course grow.\n\nTrust me though... I wish it was perfectly legal everywhere (to use and grow).  Maybe someday...

my general answer,\nI do not think that it will ever be legal in the USA,if a\nanything the politics are moving in the oposite direction and a fascist attitude against minority groups is growing\n\nATITUDES IN OTHER COUNTRIES\nmild in Canada.used to be legal in Alaska.in Autralia you can have a few plants in the garden,In South Africa an ounce in your pocket is accepted .In Holland it is sold openly in koffie Bars and the police will direct tourist to safe places to buy.}in England a few years ago it was decrimenalised.\nIn Marroco it is the culture and all the old men smoke it in the caffees..as in many Arab countries \nIn Asia in some countries it is a very old part of their culture.\netc. etc.\n\nMEDICINAL \nin many countries marijuana is used in rubbung alcohol mostly by old people to relieve body pains especially the limbs.\nit is also used for Asthma and nervous disorders\nAMERICA\nthe USA the attitude is dogmatic for other reasons than the narcotic effects of the drug.\nbefore 1920 marijuana was extensively grown by the USA and Mexico for the production of fibre.which made a durable material,cheap and it does not scorch,that was used for all the jeans,ropes,sails for the sailing ships and millions of jute bags that were used by millions of farmers,representing a multimillion dollars business.\n\nafter 1920 with the coming of synthetic materials,which were products of the petrolium business ,which were owned by the families or associates of most of the presidents,\n\nthis competitive comodity could not be allowed to continue to exist,\nand the war on Mariujana was on.\n\nthe drug factor although it has been proven beyond doubt by countless tests that it was a relative harmless substance compared to sigarettes,alcohol and others,was blatently ignored and relentlessly the war continued to this day.\nalthough it does worry the church, since people tended to stay up all night and question religious and philosohical beliefs.some times coming to uncomplementary conclusions of what was socially accepted.\n\nalcohol puts people to sleep and they dont question the given standards.\n\n\nMARIJUANA FIBRE\ntoday Mariujana fibre is making a come back in Europe and Africa and produce designer pantalons and shirts for very high prices because the quality is superior than linnen.\n\nthese fibre plants do not produce drugs to speak of and are worthless for the drug market .it is the fibre that is the value.\n\nand organically speaking it is an exelent plant to recuporate tired soils ,after cattle and corn field have practically destroyed the land,because the plant is deep rooted grows on most altitudes,and breaks open or loosens compacted soils as well as secreting nitrogen.\n\n.the stalks can also be converted in to building material such as blocks\n\nP.S the war against Marijuana ,has traditionally been used in Europe,Africa ,USA and Mexico,as an excuse for the Governments to invade peoples privacy,place soldiers and police strategically throughout the countries for control and observation,and to employ more security forces.\nAmerican Soldiers are in Mexico today suposedly for Marijuana but the real reasons are more sinister\nIt also creates the right climate for coruption and abuse of power(which was the norm rather than the exception in South Africa ,during the days of Aparheid ,when it was simple to place a bag of marijuana in some bodies house,who was unpopular with the authorities, in order to arrest or shoot them.) \nNote:\ni grew up in a drug culture and there was lots of weed around many of my friends still smoke and i am now 62.\nfor health reasons i dont smoke much any more .\nin the early days these transitional drugs were necesary,for great changes in the general mentality,\ntoday in many places,this mentality is here , and in reality the drugs have become obselete .\n\nwe wasted a lot of time messing around when we should have been thinking of our future,but at the time the cultural revolution was more important ,but not an

Marijuana is not LEGAL in any state.  What you are talking about is the de-criminalization of marijuana that some states are adopting.  This means that it is LESS criminal in those areas and it can be anything from a minor infraction to a misdemeanor instead of a felony to posess it.  There are some cities in Oregon and Seattle that also have de-criminalized marijuana laws.

I bet there's nothing illegal about it. They say it's "herb" that you can smoke, they never say specifically what kind of "herb".

Why WOULDN'T pot be legal?  Lets talk about what is legal and what is not legal... Alcohol is legal - People can get drunk all they want.  The fact is when people get drunk, they often get violent, and alcohol is a leading cause of family violence.  With weed, the worst thing people do is get the giggles and crave fast food.  Pot is not like other drugs (IE coke or other chemical drugs).  Pot is not physically addictive.  Its a natural plant from the earth, not processed in any way.  How can a PLANT from God be illegal?

They have more sense than the rest.\n\nIncidently, it is legal except in Clark Co. which includes Las Vegas and the county (which name I don't recall) in which Reno is located.

Well.. I am Dutch and I could ask the same question for my country. It is tolerated for more then 30 years in the whole of the Netherlands (so not just the city of Amsterdam), but still not legal. That's mainly because of pressure from other countries and the European community, even if we have the lowest amount of harddrug addicts because of our drugpolicy.\n\nI find it completely ridiculous that it is still illegal to smoke a plant!\n\nSo, if it is still not legal here after such a long time of tolerance, I don't know where you come from but if you are Americain I wouldn't bet on a quick legalisation.

I don't know but asking the question 150 times\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AmRKGsI3J2ONF6Q_sTee.kIezKIX?p=legalize+pot\n\nWill not help you get the answer.

No. Singapore lifted its ban, so that's no longer the case.  Don't know about Amsterdam, but I'm skeptical of that one, since you can smoke hash there without risk.

Doesn't matter. It's not legal at a federal level.  States can pass things all they want it is still illegal.  States don't overwrite federal laws.  They can only be more strict, not less.

No- too many looney bins in America that would abuse it.  This is home of the freaks.  No respectful citizens- not a good place for legal weed.  Seriously- you know that wierd guy down the road?  He would come over to your house in the middle of the night and try to steal your gouda.\nGo to the Netherlands- it's legal there.

First, I am going to have to research this about Colorado...to answer your question from my views, no, it is wrong to tell anyone what they can or can't do in their own homes! I bought a half of duplex and we do have homes assoc. but I will never be told what to do in my own house...I am also a taxpayer! The witch hunt on this Smoking Ban has gotten out of hand! Citizens are going to have to stand up and be counted...whether you smoke or not, it is not the real issue..it is the gov't and their under-classmen who have decided to start and approve some of these absolutely wrong laws. What's next? How many kids you are allowed to have? How much you can drive your car? We are allowing all the commercials on TV which endorse all the "call your doctor for a RX" and all of the medical ones that are trying to get people hooked on prescription drugs! I hope everyone wakes up and sees what it is doing to our country. We have gotten away from the greatness that this country was built on...Back to the question...I don't see how they can ban owners from smoking in their own condo...I quess they would be buying mine back for a hefty price...I can't believe that this was ruled admissable in the court system. Isn't Colorado, the same state that is banning smoking but also trying to legalize pot? Go figure...wierd...I'll be anxious to hear all the answers. Great question!

I do believe that it is illegal everywhere in the US, but it does seem as though the police are cracking down more on the "harder" stuff.  But please don't get it in your head that you can't be busted for pot....a friend of mine went to jail for a week for a roach in her car ash tray.\n\nNot sure why people call it pot.  I guess people come up with new names for it all the time so other people (like the cops) won't know what they are talking about.
