Legalize Marijuana!!

[mooglebunni608]

I'm doing a report on this in English! <3

I think MJ should be legalized. If alchohol is legal, why not?

The guy was telling a story, and when he told it to our section, he always used the word 'person' and no gender-identifying pronouns that I could hear.

Pretty sure the dude referred to the applicant as a he a bunch, though.

Lovers Spat!

You too should smoke some marijuana to take the edge off and make up.

[Psychotic]

1) Legalise it
2) Tax the everloving smurf out of it
3) Give tax revenues to me.

Problem solved.

it doesnt matter everyone who wants to smoke it does anyways. ive seen people get caught without arrests just getting it taken away.

i dont smoke and i think its pointless but whatever cant approve of drinking either.

Never...

Canada has practically become the pot capitol of the world, next to perhaps Amsterdam. With any luck we'll get Stephen 'I'm a smurfing retard with big red gay lips' Harper out of government and we'll get the ball rolling. They took us a few steps back, damn conservatives. Projected estimates from taxes, tourism, business/jobs; savings from law enforcement, jail costs and legal fees should show canada being at mininum 91 billion dollars income in a year. Our natural resources are the best in the world, why not cultivate the best one?

I'm so jealous. But could you get a job with government with a history in pot usage? It's so ridiculous! You have to be free from pot and have smoked no more than 5 times in your life to get a job with the FBI. Yet! You could be an avid alcohol drinker (which is far more dangerous) and not have to worry! Stupid, smurfing politics! Why can't america just accept the fact that marijuana is the least of our worries and that there are far worse drugs! Two of my friends, big-time pot users, don't look at and never have looked at pot as a gateway drug! It's fun and aside from lung damage (no worse than a cigar) it has no bad effects. I did a report on legalizing marijuana for my philosophy final last year. I know alll about the these politicians pull out of their pants to keep marijuana illegal. It's ridiculous and stupid!

I love my weed and I love how lax Canada is compared to the states. I can sit on my front porch in broad daylight smoking a bong without guilt or worry. Research showed nearly 80% of Canadians smoke weed at least once a month, nearly 60% smokes it at least once a week and 30% smokes it daily. This of course excludes those under 18 and really, really old people.

Yeah, my neighbors are all potheads. I've had a few drags with my next door neighbors. We look out for eachother. The police had been really clingy. They were out and about like smurfing sharks, just looking for someone to arrest. So I went to my neighbor's porch where they were smoking a bowl and I was like *cough* cops... *cough* and they were like *cough* thanks *cough*. So, it's not all that bad here in america. But the laws really have fooled the public into thinking that there's a whole marijuana gestapo running about. But some of us are smarter than that. On of my pot-loving friends got caught by the cops one day with a few of her buddies sharing a joint. The cops were like, "Take it inside! Next time, we'll have have to arrest you." and they went inside and that was the end of it.

Way I see it, liquor ruins lives, families, kills brain cells, Drunk driving accidents and livers. It is legal. Cigarettes only kill and there isn't even a euphoria to accompany it. They also, are legal. Marijuana makes me feel better when sick or have a headache. Calms me down when stressed or angry, makes things funnier (Patch Adams says laughter is best medicine, this coming from a PhD) and is a social drug so smoking pot can create friends/relationships.

Hmmm... pot can ruin lives... in a different way. But no different than cigarettes, really. Aside from some people become completely apathetic but that has nothing to do with THC (the active drug in marijuana). It's just the person being lazy. SMoking pot all the time and not caring. You get that with alcohol. Except, alcohol is worse.

[escobert]

honestly, I'd rather not have be legal. It's much cheaper being illegal The last time I was arrested for pot was like 4 years ago. Just don't be dumb and you wont get busted

Marijuana renders my dad incredibly paranoid (and he's bad enough without it), and I watched one of my best friends descend into something of a sad, pathetic loser after getting too into it. People have tried to force it on me, despite what I've seen (they haven't seen a man of fifty with the effects of smoking it for thirty-five years, but act like it means THEY know better).

I hope they never legalise marijuana, and if you smoke it I hate you. No exceptions.

[escobert]

I hate you too. But I'm sure alcohol is ok with you right? I'd smoke a joint over drinking a beer any day. Alcohol kills people. How many people you know that've died form pot? Exactly.

An irresponsible person who sits dossing on benefits (welfare, whatever) all day smoking that crap and acts like it makes them some kind of genius philosopher is as good to society as a corpse... and for those not smoking the weed, watching a friend disappear under the shroud of pot smoke (figuratively of course) is as good as them dying. And for the to let you to know, I gave up drinking because it's pointless, but then that's totally irrelevant unless you're trying to say that alcohol has led onto harder drugs.

I lost a friend when it completely changed him. I grew up loathing and detesting my father because he was stoned all the time (and of course we, as his immediate family, had to suffer the wrath of his comedowns, or comeups, whatever) so that ruined my life. That's two people lost to me, plus a childhood I'll never get back. I hope I lose nothing else to that filth.

[escobert]

Please, stop talking out of your ass. I'm sorry your father is a bum, but he would be anyways without pot. nothing is forcing him to do anything. He's choosing. I smoke pot everyday. I go to work 40 hours a week, I play with my animals all the time. I live a happy productive life. yet somehow by miricle I'm able to live a very normal life. Amazing then.

[ReloadPsi]

I'm sorry your father is a bum

I never said he was a bum. He's just an asshole. But if I'm "talking out my ass" then I'll cease contributing to this discussion or reading any further points. Bye.

[Jojee]

Wow, take this to EoEO, guys But yeah, alcohol ruins lives too when abused. The point is to do things in moderation :3 Don't blame the alcohol, blame the individual. xD

*bans Shia and everyone* If pot is illegal they should ban ME because I'm too addicting ^__^

[escobert]

I can'tget enough Jojo! SEND ME TO REHAB!

[Flying Mullet]

"I lost my job, my family left me and now I live on the streets looking for my next fix."

"Wow, what happened to you?"

"I couldn't give up the Jojo."

Damn. Don't you think that was just a little harsh. I mean it's one thing to be defensive against his "i hate everyone. no exceptions" statement but you didn't have to attack him personally, did you? Anyways. Pot for him is an archetypal image of evil. There are people who see alcohol and cigarettes the same way. I'm sorry that he hates me but truth is I've got a bit of experience in drug addiction. It's no fun. I hated that part of my life. But it was me doing it and saying you hate everyone because one person couldn't handle it is akin to saying " this muslim was a terrorist" "so if any of you are muslim, I hate you". It's emotional thinking. But I doubt his opinion can be changed. I had a problem. I have a problem. If I were to blame the alcohol or the nicotine I'd be saying "oh well, I couldn't help it." There are always exceptions. E.g. people with a high tendency for depression or schizophrenia. There have been studies that revealed that people with those tendencies had a higher chance of it getting worse when smoking pot. Buuuut... on the same hand so does alcohol, cocaine, meth, heroin and LSD. So every case made against marijuana can be essentially made against every substance known to man. If you drink Drain-o chances are your going to react very badly to it. If you eat too much food you may suffer a heart attack. In fact, some foods, *cough*McD*cough* have some studies on it showing that their food can increase your chances for certain cancers. Do we ban McD? No, because that person has to choose to eat it. Alcohol? 1. we tried it, didn't work 2. that person has to choose to drink it. Of all the drugs out there marijuana is the only one to be free of physical addiction. You can have psychological addiction but that translates to " I love that stuff!" And frankly as long as the drug doesn't change you into a cop-killing, high-intensity, soulless mass of drug-addicted woo-ha then you're safe. Meth, coke, heroin and even LSD do that. Marijuana doesn't.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I'm angry now! Here's my problem! Why is it that in this country drug addiction is treated like it's normal? Lindsay Lohan gets a DUI and the country goes, " oh man, her parents were so hard on her!" WELL smurf THAT! She's rich! She could have ordered a limo to pick her up! Yet she got behind the wheel. smurfing moron! Paris Hilton throws a hissy fit when she reaches her third strike and has to go to prison. What has this world come to? We aren't human anymore! We just whore, crave, care for nothing, nothing but that next fix of alcohol. We have effectively destroyed our humanity! We should be outraged! Here we have Lindsay Lohan driving drunk and snorting coke and the country goes oh, that is too bad. Poor Lindsay! Yet when a someone smokes pot people go, you're ruining your life! You're gonna turn into a lazy bum! Get a job! All of my pothead (an proud!) friends have jobs. They work their asses off! They come home. They smoke pot. What is the goddamn difference between having a glass of wine?! Who here can deny it! When it comes down to someone with a REAL, in the bucket ADDICTION! Whether it be coke or alcohol or any other damn addictive substance they are pitied and "oh, let me help you to the toilet" or " oh they can't help it. those poor things didn't stand a chance." Yet when someone happens to smoke pot at home the word goes around " man, what a lazy bum, he's no better than a corpse. He is ridiculous! And he needs to be stopped!" Well I have two words to say to that:......................................... IGNORANT MORON! I mean, here I applied for a job at target. They don't test for LSD, ecstacy, coke, heroin, crunk, mellow yellow, mad dog, love potion #9, kleenex, kangaroo or junk. They test for one drug: mary jane, leaf, grass, aunt mary, reefer... TH of the C. What do they think? Users don't exist near target?! I train with cops at my combat studio. They tell it to me everyday! The REALLY bad drugs don't just happen in the ghetto. They're sold to upper class highschool kids. They are sold and used in highschool bathrooms of upscale towns. They're even sold and used in Montana. My cops (yes, they are mine... my precious!) have had to deal with meth-heads trying to get their gun and even crazier shizite!It is time the war on drugs turned its eye away from marijuana. Frankly, all it does is clog the courts up. I'm not saying there aren't bad drugs. There most definitely are. Marijuana is just not one of them.
