I read it. Why does that have anything to do with my post?

His post said something about pot heads not being 'dangerous' or whatever; thats why it's in relation to your post.

Well that's an opinion, and I guess mine differs.

I've seen lots of dangerous potheads. Whether or not the pot enhanced or instigated it is up for debate.

Oh, and you can't drive while high! It's still 'Driving while impaired.' It's not as though legalizing it would let people do whatever they please with it

You can have a drink of beer without getting drunk. You can smoke cigarettes without getting high. I've never smoked weed but I'm pretty sure it doesn't take more then a few puffs or two to get high. If people can't even handle drinking and driving why should the U.S. government legalize marijuana? So more people can recklessly kill themselves and others?

Probably because you see nothing wrong with alcohol that kills livers and causes thousands of drivers drunk a year to kill ppl in accidents, as well as cigarettes causing lung cancer are fine being legal yet pot that hasn't been proven to do any of those things should be illegal. inb4 runonsentence.

If you want them all illegal, fine. If you want them all legal, fine. If you actually read Jaerik's post which was thought out, you would see that. Wanting one but not the other 2 or vise versa is pretty hypocritical.

If you can't understand that then there's no point in continuing.

I don't agree with your opinion so I'm retarded? Good one!
Blatantly putting words in my mouth? Cool!

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I was simply arguing that because people already abuse the vices we already have, I don't think it would be a good idea to legalize more. Furthermore alcohol won't ruin you're liver unless you're constantly drinking aka an alcoholic. Furthermore, I do think cigarettes should be illegal. They do nothing but harm people in health and financial ways.

Unless someone can prove that marijuana is more dangerous or more harmful to human physiology than cigarettes or alcohol, I say legalize it and STFU.

Why do we make drugs illegal? As far as I'm concerned, you can shoot yourself up with an overdose of heroin and die for all I care. Your body, your choice. You can also go jump off a bridge, if that's what you really wanna do. We don't make drugs illegal because the substance itself harms people, or we'd have banned alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine by now as well.

We make them illegal because the harder drugs like crack, heroin, PCP, etc, causes them to perform actions that endanger others. Violence, aggression, hallucinations, etc. It leads to chemical dependence, which leads to crime as people mug, rob, or burgle others to get the scratch together to get another rock. It causes serious strains on the medical system. It isn't about them at that point, so the public has a vested interest in controlling it.

I have never met a violent pothead. Have you? Ever known of someone who's overdosed on pot? (Hint: you can't.) The only way they've been able to kill a lab rat with marijuana is by dropping a 20lb brick of it on its head.

What's the worse thing reported in those studies? A slightly elevated risk of schizophrenia? Big friggin' whoop. In exchange for saving a few people from a "slightly elevated risk of schizophrenia" we're okay with a drug war that costs hundreds of billions per year and has gotten over 6,000 people murdered just in the past year. I was especially fond of the pot smugglers that draw-and-quartered the Tijuana police chief a couple years ago. Was a nice touch when they left his severed head on his wife's doorstep. But hey, totally worth it, right?

My grandmother drank herself to death over 20 years. Destroyed her liver, got another on the public dime, destroyed that one, then died of alcohol intoxication after downing a straight quart of screw-top grocery store vodka. (They didn't even have to drop 20lbs of it on her head.) Nobody cared. Her body, her choice, right? Alcohol's legal, and nobody argues it shouldn't be, 'cuz we saw what happened when we tried last time.

Even though I don't smoke, I have a real hard time listening to people lecture others on pot use while sitting there holding a Guinness. You are many times more likely to stagger out of there drunk, (without realizing you're drunk), get behind the wheel and kill someone, than any pothead I've ever known. Most potheads I know can be stoned out of their mind and still 10x more cognizant, aware, and less likely to hurt someone than just about anyone I know after two martinis.

Don't even get me started on cigarettes. 160,000 people dying every year from lung cancer and other smoking-related complications, dragging down our medical system and making the rest of us pay for it, and you want to sit there hand-wringing that marijuana use is dangerous because it has a tenuous connection to benign short-term memory loss? Give me a ***' break.

Legalize pot, or try banning tobacco and alcohol again. It's the only way to be internally consistent.

You can get pot either way. The whole idea behind drug decriminalization is to regulate the industry (drug smuggling), provide a further way of making money, and helping people with addictions recieve treatment instead of throwing them in jail.

My point is, it's READILY available already for abuse. Keeping it illegal hasn't changed that at all.

I understand the whole concept and I can see how it could work... but in the same way I think it could backfire and just end having more people abuse the drug. Also, if you legalize marijuana, who's to say we wont legalize cocaine in 20 or 50 years? If it works like you say it is, then all the angsty teenagers are gonna just move on to the next illegal drug.

We need soma!

I'm far less convinced, I guess, on the decriminalization of harder drugs. I understand your point in saying "well where does it end?"..

I still think it would be BETTER though, because like I said:

We need to start treating people, not jailing them. They manage to get drugs in jail anyway, get out, continue using.

But you know, I'd prefer (under decriminalization) that if the Government regulated the industry and taxed people for use, that our money go there to possibly help build bridges and roads.

Course, we can keep funding the warchest for South American drug cartels to finance their bloody war in Mexico. That's ok too I guess. lol

I hate your *** fingers! I hate seeing them on your face! I hate your avatar! GOD!

Also, I demand you post at least 3 sentence in your next post. You haven't said more than one sentence per post this entire time. >_>
