I stopped reading and laughed at "This is an unbiased, well educated fact and opinion" That whole sentence erupts with contradictions.

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22816923]They do get annoying, but they do have a point[/QUOTE] What's this point exactly

Boy I sound like a stoner! :/ [editline]10:27PM[/editline] And they do have proof that weed has positive effects, and it sounds pretty conclusive
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;22816958]Sure maybe you can, maybe all your friends can, but a lot of people can't[/QUOTE] No one loses control on weed. Some people feel like shit, but unless you're a fucked up person while sober, weed will not make you cut off your face. Deliriants and CNS depressants such as PCP and alcohol make you lose control. Also, look up Rick Simpson, he cured people of cancer using hemp oil.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;22816859]Not necessarily: [URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/"]Source[/URL] Basically, the sudy goes on to say that cannabis smoke is far more carcinogenic than cigarette smoke, but due to other toxins, goes on to kill carcinogenic cells due to it's toxic nature.[/QUOTE] I stand corrected, my apologies. I suppose they cancle out then. I'd like to note that i do know for a fact that marajuanas 'toxic nature' doesn't harm regular cells. To everyone acting like i'm saying marijuana is the best thing in existance, i'm not. I respect that some people might just not want to smoke it, but i do believe people need to be better educated on the pro's and cons. I'm just tired of these misconceptions. Also, i did point out the negatives of marijuana.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22816971]I don't understand how they can't And by your logic alcohol should be illegal But it isn't, and things aren't quite in shambles[/QUOTE] Alcool SHOULD be illegal but it's so implemented in society that it is impossible to make it illegal. The prohibition was a gigantic fucking failure but a good project nonetheless.
[quote]Marijuana is good for you. This is, sort of true, but only under certain circumstances.[/quote] One of those circumstances is that it makes your penis smaller, not a large differential and it takes constant smoking over a long period of time. And about the alcohol turning your brain to mush, some wine a day increases life span but it really isnt the alcohol most likely.
[QUOTE=The_Fly56556;22817031]You obviously have no idea about what you're talking about.[/QUOTE] It isn't weed's fault (not technically) if it unleashes their inner monster, they obviously already had that shit down below anyway [editline]10:31PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Batmoutarde;22817039]Alcool SHOULD be illegal but it's so implemented in society that it is impossible to make it illegal.

[QUOTE=The_Fly56556;22817031]You obviously have no idea about what you're talking about.[/QUOTE] Yes I do, much more so than you. Especially considering the amount of research I've done and from personal experience.
[QUOTE=franz;22817099]Yes I do, much more than you. Especially considering the amount of research I've done and from personal experience.[/QUOTE] You're pretty sad if you do huge amounts of research on drugs

Boy I sound like a stoner! :/ [editline]10:27PM[/editline] And they do have proof that weed has positive effects, and it sounds pretty conclusive[/QUOTE] I disagree. I think weed is a gateway drug to more dangerous substances. From personal experiences I've figured this. I also find nothing respectable about someone who smokes weed, sorry if I offend you but I really don't. Especially the idiots who treat it like a toy, and not something that could really harm you. This is a different thought but people also think crime will magically go down just because you can now buy weed at a pharmacy. There will still be drug cartels, there will be drug dealers, and there will be addicts. Nothing will change.

And about the alcohol turning your brain to mush, some wine a day increases life span but it really isnt the alcohol most likely.[/QUOTE] Alchohol will only turn your brain to mush if you drink it way too much. I speak from alot of experiance on this too. My mother abused alcohol and prescription medicine, and smoked one and a half packs of regular cigarettes a day. Those combined killed her in February, and that was one of the most shocking and eye opening experiences I've had. My dad was a stoner for a decade, he's one of the smartest and wisest people i know.
And here you are arguing that it should be illegal, while you don't know much anything about it anyway.
We're not arguing we're bringing "unbiased and constructive opinions"

Your description more describes people who abuse pain pills or whatever. Crime will go down, drug cartels will slow down, drug dealers will lessen substantially, addicts will be there no matter what. Part of the "crime will go down" is that a large % of people in jail are there because of weed, so making it legal will obviously keep those people out.

I'm not trying to either
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;22817110]You're pretty sad if you do huge amounts of research on drugs[/QUOTE] You're so close-minded it hurts. Keep bathing in your ignorance and social stigmas. I really doubt you will ever amount to anything. [QUOTE=God of Ashes;22817113]I disagree. I think weed is a gateway drug to more dangerous substances. From personal experiences I've figured this. [/QUOTE] Doing hard drugs is a personal choice. Sure, weed may open your mind enough to consider trying them, but by no means does it take control of you. You don't forget that hard drugs are dangerous just because you tried weed. [QUOTE=God of Ashes;22817113]I also find nothing respectable about someone who smokes weed, sorry if I offend you but I really don't. Especially the idiots who treat it like a toy, and not something that could really harm you. [/QUOTE] There is nothing inherently respectable about it. It's something people do for personal enjoyment and mind expansion, not to look cool or improve their social status.

There will still be drug cartels, there will be drug dealers, and there will be addicts. Nothing will change.[/QUOTE] Sure, with hard drugs that are kept illegal. Drug cartels are fueled by the illegality, and addicts will happen as long as there are illegal drugs.
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;22817110]You're pretty sad if you do huge amounts of research on drugs[/QUOTE] it's pretty sad that you're so biased on this that when confronted with sourced fact on one that generally proves it's not so bad for you that you degenerate into acting like everyones cramming it down your throat when really they're only debating over it's pro's-and cons with you, and you insist on perpetuating a useless and for the most part false stereotype.

[QUOTE=wonkadonk;22816872]When you smoke marijuana, you get high.[/QUOTE] Dude...No fucking way. Seriously? I don't believe you, I need proof.
Idiots need to stop trying to justify smoking drugs. It's illegal for a reason.
[QUOTE=franz;22817181]You're so close-minded it hurts. Keep bathing in your ignorance and social stigmas. I really doubt you will ever amount to anything.[/QUOTE] Hey there, keep it unbiased and constructive with sources !
Once I go and smoke weed I have the unstoppable urge to go shoot some heroin ^What God of Ashes believes happens Once I go and smoke weed I'm hungry ^What happens
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;22817195]But are these the kind of people we want walking the streets?[/QUOTE] You'll be surprised by how many "normal" people smoke weed. Weed doesn't change your personality unless you make it. [QUOTE=Batmoutarde;22817207]Hey there, keep it unbiased and constructive with sources ![/QUOTE] You didn't provide an argument anywhere close to that, so why should I?
[QUOTE=Super_Poo;22817200]Idiots need to stop trying to justify smoking drugs. It's illegal for a reason.[/QUOTE] And that reason is...
