I, for one, think that everything should be legalized, AKA no government, I’m sure we would do okay.
I’m with you man. Drug prohibition is a failure beyond comprehension. It’s created a massive, violent, sprawling illegal drug industry with connections to terrorism and gangs. Legalizing drugs puts them into the normal channels of commerce, allowing them to be made in plain sight with some form of quality control, wresting their control from violent groups and pouring the profits not into the pockets of Pablo Escobars, but into the hands of more legitimate cultivators and chemists. Prohibition of alcohol created the violent gangs that ruled the booze distribution rings and fought bloody wars over territory in Chicago and New York. And we are continuing that pointless cycle now.
Oh, and also, to people calling for bans on alcohol and other drugs, QUIT TELLING US HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES! And quit trying to sic your state thugs on me to ruin my life over putting something into my body of my own volition. We should be FREE to make our choices in life and deal with the consequences.
Having to listen to the nattering of authoritarian prudes about doing anything even remotely self-destructive brings my blood to a boil. They seek to exterminate the fun of others when it in any way jars their self-imposed cocoon of isolationist twatism. Some of the stoners I run into act like jerks, therefore NO WEED FOR ANYONE! GO STATE, USE WASTE EVERYONE’S MONEY IMPRISONING NONVIOLENT PLEASURE SEEKERS ATTACK!!! IT’S SUPER-INEFFECTIVE!
Thus, they propose their sad, useless little bans on illicit behavior and expect Daddy State to come in and make the world a nice, sterile, drug-free paradise via draconian laws and infiltrations and insipid propaganda. But see, they’ve been trying to do that for years, raising penalties and printing leaflets and whatnot, and guess what? SHITLOADS of people still use drugs!
Life is meaningless and you only get to experience this fantastic, glorious reality one time before you crumble into dust and are swiftly forgotten. If it brings you joy, by all means use the wondrous chemicals that abound on this planet to elevate yourself to happiness in the company of your friends. That’s my philosophy.
That was awesome.
Everyone who does weed is an idiot? Not really.
Weed is pretty much socially accepted here, in my generation. Almost everyone around my age does it or has done it. They’re all regular people. It’s barely addictive (no more than, say, sugar) and has little negative effects, as long as you don’t go fucking insane with it.
I get bad trips from weed and weed made me puke so it’s alcohol for me - preferably vodka but i’d drink anything rum,whiskey,campari,beer,wine… alcohol is alcohol (except raw absinthe). My parents know (I’m 17) i drink and they have no problems with that (they drank too when they were 17)
I don’t do serious drugs that’s just plane stupid i get drunk like couple times a month and that’s it
it sounds to me like you are doing a serious drug…
I’m anticipating a huge spike in the use of drugs like kratom and salvia when they get outlawed.
The problem with arguments like “WELL ALCOHOL HAS CAUSED THOUSANDS OF DEATHS BUT WEED HAS NOT” is because if weed was legalized the death tolls with spike up.
Everyone would be able to get it, instead of a drunk driver killing a family driving a van, It’d be a driver that was high.
Now people saying Weed is perfectly harmless, are painfully wrong. Every “scapegoat” product like Alcohol, Drugs, Cigarettes have side effects.
I have nothing personally against legalizing Weed, but the it’s not adding to the solution, but it is adding to the problem because instead of Alcohol and Cigs killing people, It’s now All 3.
In my experience, people don’t really do anything when they’re stoned. I just sit around with my friends, maybe watch a movie.
This is redic, weed doesn’t make u do crazy shit or cause people to be reckless, it just makes everything more chill and things like food and movies better. I’ve been in a car plenty of times when the driver wuz high and nothing bad has ever happened, I’ve even driven a couple times high.
Yeah it’s not like people begin to throw bricks through windows causing the cops to come and question me because I’m one of the people who happened to not have their window broken. Not to mention some person came over with a baseball bat trying to find out who did it.
Yeah… It does. I’ve seen it happen. I’ve also been in a car with a drunk driver a few times and we nothing bad ever happened, I’ve also driven home drunk without anything happening.
Uhhhhh, I’ve never done that when I’ve been drunk. Stereotypes work both ways.
No it’s just at the party we had a few days ago we let my sister invite my friends, big surprise, they all happened to be idiot stoners. They were high at the time so yes, people do screw around when they’re stoned.
If you think this is because of the weed, and not their shitty personality, I will find out where you live and throw a brick at your window.
Find proof that someone has overdosed on weed. Drivers on pot are safe drivers. Want more proof?
If you want to learn more, not just about pot but any other drug, go to Erowid.com like Obelisk suggested.
I say this to a lot of people, and I’m going to say it again to you; please do not talk about something you know little about.
The “I’ve seen it happen” is a logical fallacy called anecdotal evidence. That shit don’t hold up, bro, find a source and some research. Protips; you won’t.
Thanks for proving my point.
Don’t use the “drunk people do worse shit” argument if you are ready to defend it if people do shit when they’re high.
I agree with you, but I wouldn’t call pot websites unbiased. :retard:
Im a starting forward on my schools varsity hockey team and i’ve been smoking weed for about 1 1/2 years, it hasn’t fucked up my performance at all.
LOL
Please, next time. Try harder.
They are indeed, VERY SAFE LOL
What was it you said… Don’t talk about something I know little about? Yet you link websites that are obviously pumping out biased bull shit. :facepalm:
Pro Tip: Stop being butthurt because I insulted your precious drug and learn to accept facts and read my post again, you’re an idiot because I clearly said I could careless if it was legalized or not, but I’m not blind to the obvious side effects and dangers that would come with the legalization of it but GOD FORBID IF YOU FOUND OUT THE TRUTH.
I’ve smoked weed before, I have nothing against it but like I said, it’ll cause problems and there will be a lot more reported deaths because it DOES limit your ability to drive and reaact, It also has side effects.
People who say “WEED HAS NO AFFECT ON ME WTF”
I’ve been drinking for 5 years now, yet My liver is supposedly in “great” shape. So your arguments can be used both ways as well.
nietzschesaurus’s links were backed up by references, yours were not. Your last link wasn’t even about weed, but about PCP.
No-one is saying that weed has no side effects. It obviously does when you’re under the influence. It’s just not all that harmful in the long run and not very addictive at all.
