Seriously. We'd save so much on prisons and bring in so much revenue it isn't even funny. Marijuana is a larger cash crop than any other in America. Think about that. More money is spent on weed in the USA than we spend on Corn or Wheat... and we spend a of a lot on corn and wheat. Imagine if it were taxed and regulated what a huge infusion of cash that would bring to our economy. Stupid republicans.
Its almost impossible to explain how pot affects you to someone that has never done pot. Marijuana impairs you in some ways, but it does not affect cognitive thinking. The myth that when someone is stoned they're stupid is completely false. When someone is stoned and they seem stupid to you, its because they're not paying attention to YOU. I think the problem resides in mul asking really.
Not true. if no one smoked weed, if everyone followed the law, we wouldn't have to worry about gangs that sell it and all the havoc that they cause.
Truth if I've ever seen it man
@ weed being the cause of gangs! See, now I KNOW that you've never done weed!
But... how would we ever get by without that good ol' prison labor? The prison-industrial complex needs love, too.
We've become a country that is largely financially dependent upon building new/operating existing prisons, and the criminalization of marijuana has led to a lot of that.
I've done a lot of it. do it maybe 3-4 times a month.
Hmmmmm. I smoke chronic and it comes from peaceful hippies in humboldt Cali. I don't know what laced schwag you're getting from gang members, but if you don't want gangs selling it, legalize it and regulate it; don't say, "if everybody followed the law," because man, that's a pipe dream (parden the pun). The very fact that it's illegal makes it a black market drug that is sometimes sold by gangs. Legalize it, and the gangs lose their control of it, but don't expect marijuana to just disappear. Think about your argument for a second.
Anything that impairs you're judgment is bad, and shouldn't be taken IMO. It leads to a lot of problems.
just my .03 (inflation)
I live amongst said happy hippies and can vouch for them being about the farthest thing from "gangs" one could ever hope to find.
Unless, of course, tie-die, birkenstocks, patchouli, juggling, and hacky sacks have become the norm for inner city gangs.
WTF... I don't understand you then. In your mind, are you willfully being irresponsible? You sincerely think you're doing wrong when you're smoking weed? If, by your own admission, weed is responsible for gang activity what the are you doing smoking it? I mean, I don't even think you understand the reasoning behind your own deductions my friend.
! then strong pain tranquilizers should be outlawed!
The two largest anti-marijuana lobbies in terms of dollars spent are
#1. Anheuser Busch
#2. The industrial-prison complex
Disgusting.
I said it before, I don't mind being a degenerate. smoking is bad. Period. If the world were perfect no one would have the urge to smoke it.
california medical clinics are a beautiful thing ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you.
you're flipping the situation. that's not what I meant.
Disgusting, but makes perfect sense. They'd both take a huge hit if pot were legal.
#1. Anheuser Busch
#2. The industrial-prison complex
Disgusting.
I'm not flipping anything. We're talking anything that impairs your judgment is wrong, right?
I think you're getting pot mixed up with crack. Striving to obtain crack is responsible for a great amt of crime; pot is only responsible for the increase in Cheetos sales and the success of Adam Sandler movies!!
If the world were perfect, people would still be looking for ways to make it a little more perfecter. Such is human nature.
Yea, but if you're hurting it changes things. That, to me, is sufficient reason. I've experienced that.
It's still bad and it doesn't make sense to use if you think you are responsible enought to do it. You can be responsible while high, but it doesn't always mean that will be the case. Things around you change, and when you've got to deal witht them stoned, they're harder and you're usually less successful.
they isn't a controlled setting to smoke weed in. It's not a science lab where you have control over the variables etc. Things are actively happening and changing around you and you should ideally be mentally fit (the ebst you can) to deal with them.
2 years ago I smoked weed pretty often. One day, I hit my head on a coffee table (corner of my eye). if i'd been high, it would've definitely made a bad situation worse. It would have impaired my driving a lot, and who knows, what if I was pulled over and they saw that I was high on my way to the hospital
I don't know about you, but I control a of a lot of the variables in my own living room. In my whole apartment, in fact.
And of course smoking pot would impair your driving, but that doesn't really prove your point. Driving while high would be an irresponsible choice. Conversely, not driving while high would be a responsible choice. Same with flailing about your coffee table.
