Ok....? I just said I'm not, and was just playing devil's advocite.
But its cool though.
But its cool though.
Good rant. Spoken from someone who has witnessed what "harmless" pot can do.Begin rant:
I graduated college. Dad passed away. I wanted to make a difference and spent 8 weeks learning to be a EMT. I volunteered for 5 years on local squad and seen first hand what drugs (all kinds) due to people. I can say they ruin lives. Your statement is asinine.
Perhaps a more accurate statement is weeds hasn't ruined or impacted your life in the ways you described. Good for you. Think outside your little world for a moment.
Drugs ( including weed) impacts peoples lives everyday. How about the mother and father who sent a child to jail for dealing or possessing weed? How about the child whose parents rather spend money and time on weed rather than with their child? How about a family who lost a family member or had a family member disabled because someone was driving stoned? How about the people and their families fighting the war on drugs? Theses people's lives aren't impacted or ruined because of drugs (including weed)?
The world is much bigger than our little place in it.
End rant.
Thanks for your time
I agree, weed is mild compared to other drugs. It is an oxymoron to suggest people do drugs responsibily and that I would have no issue with legalizing drugs. The people who do drugs and risk others makes me take a hard line stance and say ban them all.
Wife and children are my life. Exposing them unneccessary risk isn't acceptable.

well here's what i feel about drugs in general. people are gonna find a way to get high...no matter what. we can rid the planet of every known substance and i'll be generous and give three days before someone finds something new to get high off of. i think more funding needs to be spent towards education than just prevention. while i don't condone heroine use i think the needle exchange program that other countries have is a great idea. while we are enabling them in a sense, we are at least giving them the chance to prevent sharing needles and spreading other diseases.

It is possible to be responsible with certain drugs, people just are not. I imagine the irresponsible people make the majority of folks in this chat be against legalizing drugs. I bet none of them care what people do to thmeselves just how the irresponsible people may impact their families or friends. So they jump on the "Just say No Bandwagon"
You might start another debate among the dads who smoke weed, be careful with that comment.

I know kids who toke up with their moms.....interesting eh?
I'd rather be mentally addicted to heroin than Physically. I'd rather be mentally addicted to anything than physically dependent . I'll bet there's members here that are addicted to porn. But it would be far worse if they got sick if they didn't get it.
Weed isn't ^^^^ folks, sure there's some strong ^^^^ out there. There's also some whiskey down the street at the store. Call that a non excuse to make it legal but it is what it is. Alcohol is legal cause it dumbs you down, weed is not for many reasons but one is cause it opens up your mind and eyes(contrary to popular belief) and the govt don't want you to see things for what the truly are. It is a tool. (not to be used or abused daily IMO)
I'll let the master explain better... You'd do well to listen!

I will watch it later as I can't view videos at work.
Like I stated in a post a couple pages back. I can fully function on 2 beers but you give me a couple tokes from a joint(which I haven't touched in 20 years, honest) and I'm HIIGHHH. To me alcohol and pot are like night and day.

People have different reactions to different things dude.
Its starts off that way until you don't get high anymore and you are just taking the drugs to feel normal.

When someone says 'mental addiction', what they mean is psychological. All of you here are psychologically addicted to something. Could be anything, orange juice, superhero statues, french fries, Judge Judy, etc. Get it? Probably not.
Reading this thread is so frustrating because everyone who is speaking out against weed, and I mean everyone, is woefully uneducated and at best regurgitating falsehoods that were proven as myth more than a decade ago in some cases. A decade. You just been listening to the american government's lies and it probably doesn't stop there. Where there's smoke there is an idiot. Really, you would all change your tune if you would just study what it is you are pontificating about. What kind of nerd doesn't read?
So when I am reading this thread I'm going "Wow there is nothing you can say to an human who can read but still doesn't know what they are talking about and is ok with it?" Really is that how you want to walk around, not knowing what it is you are talking about?
And to those concerned with what would happen to the country if weed was legalized, there are countries where it is legal and they don't have any of the current trouble the U.S. is having in any one area of concern. That alone should shut your @ss up and cause you to want to find out what you are actually talking about. Run Forrest, Run... to a g0d@mned library for (FB) Odin's sake.
Then again, my predictions for who is intelligent and who is not on this forum is made easily moot by reading this thread because it is made obviously clear, intelligent people talk about actual facts and the rest blow it out their grandma's cellar doors.
And lastly, if you are not smoking/eating weed in the U.S. you are actually a minority. EVERYONE smokes weed. I have had a working relationship with members of the police force in my city and they will tell you the same thing. They would come in depressed and it would be because they had to raid a weed dealer's house and they felt like giant hypocrits for following their job description. So guess what, your fears of a society that is full of mostly high people, on the job, off the job, on the way to the job... is already a reality. How dumb do you think you sound being afraid of a future that is already all around you?
