stupid ppl talking about shit they dont know bout'

k i'm new and yes I smoke pot.The first in my list of things u guys say that piss me off.
1.Marijuana is a gateway drug. It is not the drug but the person who wants to do harder drugs. Most of my friends would never do acid/crack/coke/ect...
2.Marijuana is adictive. Lol it's not, i can go weeks without it (camp) and when i'm home i smoke it every day i'm not adicted to it and most ppl I know can go with out it.
3.Health problems. Cancer is about the only problem that i can think of that is legit. Cigs do same thing but are they outlawed?
4.Iv'e never tried pot. Then how can you say that it's bad if you've never tried it and so many ppl that are successful have. Hell my dad smokes it and he's not that bad.
Now for my ramblin's it is funny that it's easier for me to get pot (other drugs if I wanted) than alchol. I only pay $60-70 per quater btw. I am not addicted to pot. I do not want to do other drugs. Hell, pot isn't even a drug IMO. And it's just weed it's not gonna corrupt the world. It's a ****ing plant, not a drug. And that more pontent crap is BS the DEA even admited it.Marijuana does not lead to crime if I go out and do shit it's not because of pot. Plus doesnt' alchol lead to crime? thats enough talkin for me ima go roll a nice fatty now cya...

*****
When you say "It's not the drugs that are the problem, it's the people", are you suggesting that this nation would be responsible enough to freely use mind altering drugs?
*****
No. With or without drugs, there's still millions assholes. Drugs is just an excuse society creates for them.


*****
When I grow up and have kids, they'll be living in a generation created by decisions made today. If we legalized pot, they'll be growing up in a generation of stoners (obviously larger scale then the 60's ).
*****
So are you trying to say all stoner's are irresponsible people who make bad decisions? No! Marijuana is only a big of deal as we make it out to be. Without all the legal talk it is a harmless peaceful drug.


*****
By the way... I noticed that you said that this country was a better place to live in before the "Drug Wars". How true... However, back then the county's morals were different. Back then, sex and drugs were taboo. Now we now live in a world where everybody is candid about it- and all of a sudden there's an increase in violence. Thankfully, the government's laws have conformed.
*****
It's true that things have changed. And yeah, some things are much easier, but the war on drugs has been going on long enough. Millions of innocent people arrested, accused, abused.... Damn that sounds dramatic
But seriously, it's sad.

Marijuana has already been proven to be highly addictive and harmful.

You may try to use the excuse that beer and cigarettes are already in circulation. You can already see how those things have messed up a ton of lives. Why add to the problem?

Drugs are more than a social excuse, they're real and they've messed people up. Releasing it to the public would be a bad (see: not good) idea.

Also, I'm not terrified of my son growing up in a drug-infested world. If anybody starts trouble with us, my and son and I will kick their stoner butt with some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

***Marijuana has already been proven to be highly addictive and harmful.***

I'm afraid you can't quite say that so surely. There's been conflicting results over that past century. But judging on what I personally know, marijuana has NEVER gotten anyone sick or killed them. And no one I know that smokes weed is addicted to it. I believe a reality of addiction would be having withdrawls when you go without your addiction, there's no withdrawl symptom's from not smoking marijuana.

And you're acting like if maarijuana was legalized everyone would be smoking it. You want to know who is going to smoke it? The same people who are smoking it today! Marijuana is probably the most easily accessed illegal drug. Anyone can go out and find weed right now if they want it.

Solutions for NDIrish

Hi ND,

I just wanted to throw a quick comment to you regarding some of the issues you made earlier.

As far as the "I smoke weed, legalize it" solution. That is a perfectly viable solution. Most proponents of legalization are not saying they want to start farms and sell to the public, although I'm sure some would like to capitalize off of it... But that would probably be the government who would more than likely forbid private enterprise to participate. Users just don't want to go to jail for smoking weed. So, most users who don't know how to grow good weed or don't have the time to grow good weed themselves would probably have to buy from the government if they wanted to buy it "legally". That way, the government would be able to make money off of it, which is something that they're seeking to do anyway.

But, I will have you know, as marijuana is the most easily accessible illicit drug, there ALREADY are extensive networks with growers, distributors, sellers and buyers. In fact, this nationwide underground network has been established for quite some time out of necessity to stay away from Big Brother's prying eyes.

For most people who want marijuana "legalized", they do so because they use marijuana responsibly. They don't grow it or sell it... but they do have to buy it. If marijuana was "legalized" on a "homegrown only" basis, I'm sure most people who use would be quite satisfied with that result. You may/may not still have penalties for distribution, but at least use of marijuana would be decriminalized.

As far as the health issues are concerned, if you've been paying attention to what research statistics are saying, marijuana is no more addictive or harmful than cigarettes or alcohol. In fact, it is much safer than both of them.

Freedom of choice. Freedom of choice. Freedom of choice. You choose your way i'll choose mine and stay the fu*k out of my buisness and i'll stay out of yours.

[Ryan The Bad]

When kids at school are asked "Hey, you wanna smoke?", and they reply "No", why do you think that is? When people think of the word "marijuana" and "drugs", they then also think of the word "trouble" and of the word "law". That's a pretty safe assumption, isn't it? Well, what if we legalized it and took away the fear of getting caught? Could you imagine then how many people would be doing it? Not even including the kids.

The opinion that legalizing marijuana and introducing it to millions of people to get high off of can be beneficial is totally ludicrous.

Ryan the Bad,
ALCOHOL

Everybody read Ninjagod's post one more time.

[Hookah Smokin Caterpillar]

Ryan, please stop being ignorant; Jesus!

Reading your posts would piss off even the most anti-Marijuana guy out there. If pot was legalized and you asked a kid if he wanted to try it he'd still say no, do you know why?

Because it would be illegal for kids to smoke pot anyway. Its illegal for them to smoke ciggs, its illegal for them to drink alcohol, and it'd illegal for them to smoke pot.

Pot is not addictive, do you want to know why?

I'm a daily smoker, with certain days being 2-3 times a day depending if I have herb or not. There were two times in my senior year where I didn't smoke pot for more then 2 months. From October until Christmas break because my mom caught me, and from mid-April until the end of June because of a drug test I may have had to take [I didn't take it by the way] and guess what, I was able to survive. In my religion [Islam] we have a month called Ramadahn where you have to fast from sun up until sun down for an entire month, and while I know I'm not gonna blaze during the fasting portion obviously, I'm thinking of not smoking the entire month out of respect to my religion. Do you think I can do it? You're damn right I can...

Now, not having sex with my girlfriend, thats a different story. If I can do that, then I'm giving myself eternal props. Now thats an addiction

[royceg420]

I quit smoking from Jan. through June this year just because I wanted to quit for a while. Doesn't sound very addicting to me.
