Should Marijuana Be Totally Legal: USA

[Mindf!3ldzX]

I've seen more drunks make complete asses of themselves (and more drunks go to jail) than potheads, ever,so I don't see you're reasonings for thinking their would be more trouble for potheads.... consider legalizing/taxing would most likely detour all purchases to the local ABC&M (Alcoholic Beverage Control & Marijuana) locations,which last time I checked it's safer buying a 5th of liqour ,but your more likely to get drunk and make a fool of yourself. It's less safe to go to your local buddy/dealers house,and attempt purchasing a federal criminalized substance, but more safe while under the influence.

I've known lots of people who liked or was addicted to xanax's , and you've never met a fuckup til you've met someone who eats those for recreational use.

Tons of problems,each problem branching from various realistic reasons, but dropping the weight of "Future Proposed" problems on the shoulders of a bunch of high / munchy seeking US citizens is simply preposterous!!!

Deleted, in the name of peace. I did smoke weed, if you dont like it, dont hate. Learn to accept some people are going to do their thing. Lifes too short.

drugs are for losers. And the government shouldnt be taxing anyone for anything, fucking socialists

[Mindf!3ldzX]

If the goverment didn't tax anything,kiss the entire infastructure (roadways,railways,shipping ports,etc) goodbye,or pray your state knows how to help itself.

is an economic problem? is a political problem? a moral problem? is an ideological problem? remains a major problem no doubt, and meanwhile people continue to smoke marijuana

and will continue to do so,using alcohol as an example of how supply comes hand in hand with demand.

Plain fact is when I see anyone lighting up a cigarette or smoking pot, it reminds me of my moms death - period. If enough people start lighting up around me, and I get a whiff of it, maybe Ill finish what they are starting, and cut off their air supply permanently by choking them to death myself.

[Cobalt]

So if I choke someone to death while they are smoking am I a murderer, killing somoene who is cutting off their own air supply to their body intentionally, and risking death? I could say the fumes they lit effected my mind enough to make me want to kill them, and if they are allowed to risk putting themselves to death while polluting the air with toxins that could kill me, why all the discussion?

Cobalt, murder is worse than suicide. And you're clearly too emotionally invested to provide an objective argument. Sorry for your loss.

You'd be in the news as the guy who said he killed a man/woman in self-defense, from second hand smoke.

So if we banned alcohol again like in the days of prohibiton you would stop smoking pot? Well, for one thing you know theres a snowballs chance in quake prohibiton would ever happen again, so it pretty much gives you the right to smoke your pot if you believe in playing the devils advocate. So I look at you and say if you can risk your health and others around you, whats stopping me from cutting to the quick and putting a bullet through your head to speed up the process? You are already killing yourself, and if you dont care about yourself, you sure as heck dont care about others, like if they get lung cancer breathing the orgasms you rlungs have when you exhale your pot...its like a walking biohazard of any untreated disease you may have floating around in the air, and if I didnt drink my orange juice that day, I stand a risk of catching a sickness that you propogate into the clean air, as if you have a right to spread your disease to any ahole tha tis stupid enough to breath it.

Not saying alcohol is the prefered poison, its cowardly to compare one unhealthy character defect to an other, and say its the reason we are allowed to throw more fuel on the fire and make it worse. Ive done that hundreds of time in anger and you become a slave to the addiction, thats all that does.

and will continue to do so,using alcohol as an example of how supply comes hand in hand with demand.

then you can make a new post here and get more traffic to this site.....maybe get more customers for your product.

Yep, cause alcoholism is a treatable illness...speaking from experience. Coming up on 19 years clean....and on the days I work the program and realize I can lead the horse to the water, but cant make him or her drink, I dont get so hard on myself as the cause for all the problems in the world today....and have some real good days, and some real bad ones....but always know other people are out there and have it worse, as this thread reminded me today.

Pot on the other hand, is not a treatable illness....theres no sense putting people in jail that have no chance of ever helping themselves and wasting taxpayer money in an already collapsed system. This whole idea the West coast has about brainwwahing everyone into believing pot will solve all the worlds problems is just trading one addiction for another, NY already tried taxing cigarettes and they are more bankrupt than ever, worse probably than California is maybe.

I've seen more drunks make complete asses of themselves (and more drunks go to jail) than potheads,

[grave_digga]

grave_digga, there's many medicinal uses to the drug. And they don't really have many problems with the "potheads", it's the crack, cocaine, heroine, X, etc....

I knew many weed smokers myself back in the days. Most (if not all of them) ended up as unemployed and/or used harder drugs afterwards. If 4-5 blunts a day doesn't satisfy you anymore you need something other...i also tried weed a few times but i didn't like it. This were all my friends i talked about but after a year there was not much left, all that they wanted was weed, getting high and stoned. I decided to quit with all of them because of the weed. Sad but true. And here is weed also illegal. Just imagine how many people would use this stuff when it gets legal. I don't speak of medical use, that's OK as long as it is looked after. Long time weed using makes you callous (i hope this is the right word, sorry for my< bad english).

Hi Nahuel:

My family is your family in that sense. True, arguing with an addict , is pointless...reason I said what I said to Frenzy was out of respect for my mom, who is the victim, and they truly believe victims have no rights, and in my opinion are worse terrorists than Bin Laden could ever have hoped to be. I wonder who is going to be to blame as this country and probably the world, spins in the toilet for the next few decades, probably me.

@ Cobalt, I understand from near what it is cancer. My father died of cancer when i was only a child (he was only 45 years), but in my house, nobody smoked cigarettes or used other drugs. Probably one of the causes of the disease (specifically stomach cancer) has been the work environment in a textile factory in which many hazardous chemicals are handled. Cancer is a really painful sickness, and I understand perfectly the pain, but try not to argue with Frenzy hard charging that his brain affected by marijuana leaves not see the truth. I know many people who do not consume any drugs and they are really "dumb" or highly structured and can not see the truth of things. And it is certainly true that secondhand smoke can get cancer, and this is likely the cause of the illness of your mother.How can know it? How Frenzy know it? i do not know anyone here in this forum and my English is crap anyway, but do not get anywhere with this kind of discussion. The personal experiences are intransferable in all aspects. Have a good day.

Lost lots of my best friends in High School to drugs - if they had a choice , me or the pot / alcohol, its hands down I lose, because I make them really look at themselves, and give em a swift kick in the ass. As for loss of jobs, unemployment, understood....goes hand in hand 100%. As for medical use, nah, its just a pleasure they are being alowed before they go, sort of a massive cooperative euthanization......does hitler shame.
