Marijuana

[innocentbychoice]

Taking things to the extreme is always bad, no matter if it's alcohol, marihuana or cigarettes.

I don't smoke anything but I've heard regular cigarettes are worse for your health than pot. And cigarettes have been legal for...Forever now? So it's a matter of personal choice and control. Don't think we'll lose a generation for marihuana, that's ridiculous.

If you really need something to worry about in this day and generation, worry about STDs and teen pregnancy.

I truly feel sorry for you, person, who seems to be in such a stupor. We've got troops in combat in two wars and you're worried about losing a generation to marijuana??? And where besides California is marijuana legal?

The only reason that marijuana and many other drugs remain illegal is because the big pharmaceutical companies would lose a lot of business. Prohibition did not work with alcohol and it isn't working with drugs and it's time we stop spending billions on drug interdiction and start collecting taxes on the sales. We would spend much less money on treatment of addictions, than we currently spend chasing, arresting and housing the same addicts.

These people stay in power by convincing people they are sick because of the poisoned food and water and won't allow them to learn about real cures and treatments. The docs and the jail system are complicit in keeping clients and inmates. They don't want to cure illness and treat addiction. It's all a system to keep their friends empoyed.

I think we're going to lose a generation to marijuana. Much like we lost a generation to drugs and liberalism, we will lose a generation to the legalization of marijuana. You can't deprive the stupid of their stupidity.

I truly feel sorry for drug users. For whatever reason, pot makes them feel better than they usually feel. Can you imagine that? You need an elective drug to feel good? The only question is; Why can't you be happy in the skin you are already in?

I think you're ranking on the wrong type of drugs, man. If you want to talk about a generation lost, I'd suspect your argument would be a little more valid if you were trying to attack meth and pharmaceutical users. I just don't see stoners as an epidemic in any regard.

If you want to talk about a lazy society, talk about heroin users and recovering heroin addicts prescribed methadone then paid out on social security because they're too "doned out" to work. That's more or less the reason why I refuse to get into harder drugs. Weed doesn't make me lazy because I smoke responsibly.

Legalizing marijuana won't turn a generation of workers lazy. It simply keeps people who choose to smoke a drug which is more or less harmless from spending a copious amount of time in jail. Personally, I think that's fair.

The "weed is better than XXXXX" argument has been beat into the ground, though. I don't want to focus on that. However, I will argue that your view seems pretty skewed. Weed doesn't make people happy. It doesn't fix self-worth, self-image, or self-esteem issues. Marijuana makes conversations seem deeper, food taste better, comedy more laugh-worthy, and stress a tad more manageable.

I'll agree that most people (me included) smoke weed as a vice. I'd rather smoke a bowl than drink two beers, but that's going right back to the "weed is better than XXXXX" argument. I think you're wondering why people prefer to have a vice in the first place.

I smoke because on any given night off, likelihood is I don't have a whole lot to keep myself busy with. That doesn't mean I don't go out and socialize... I do a lot of that, too. Some nights it's just me kicking around the internet looking for something creative to do. Weed seems to help with that. I get more into my photoshop projects, I seem to have a creative edge while I'm high that I just don't have while I'm sober, and there's nothing better than a bowl of green, a bowl of cheetos, and an internet meme site.

I just don't think this issue is that debatable because it's not that important to begin with. Legalizing weed won't make the population lazy and unproductive, it won't make the working world grind to a halt, and it's not going to entice anybody who doesn't like smoking weed to begin with. Your argument is invalid.

Tra-la-la, mother fu**er.

? The only question is; Why can't you be happy in the skin you are already in?

This may have been asked of you; if so it bears repeating-- do you realize the implications of this statement in regards to the girls of this board?

Flame on.

If you really need something to worry about in this day and generation, worry about STDs and teen pregnancy.

Not if you're a homo.
