[QUOTE=Ca5bah;22817678]Heheheh, I smoke weed + k2, etc occasionally and I hate alcohol. Alcohol makes you unable to function whatsoever. I agree though, if anything were to be banned alcohol should be.[/QUOTE]
It was for awhile, but hell, that did not work out.
Weed was an alcoholic and beat my mother.
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;22817195]But are these the kind of people we want walking the streets?[/QUOTE]
Oh god, those dangerous pot smokers who sit inside, get high, and don't bother anyone. They should really be locked up just like rapists and violent offenders, because they pose just as much of a threat, right?
When I'm drinking I fluctuate between anger and depression. Sometimes I spiral into a blind rage. When I'm smoking, I'm chill as hell. I can stop smoking whenever I want, the drinking, not so much.
I've never done drugs in my entire life, but I've studied them, talked to users, known users and people who's been working with users, both as law-enforcement and clinically. So, I got a nice and very unbaias perspective of drugs in general.
And I must say, OP's pretty much correct.
[QUOTE=Keeshond v2;22816602]Marijuana has no carcinogens.[/QUOTE]
Burnt marijuana DOES have carcinogens, much like any burnt plant or animal matter. Incompletely-burnt hydrocarbons are well known carcinogens. However, THC suppresses cancer cell growth in the lungs, negating any effect of inhalation.
Of course, eating or vaporizing marijuana will negate this point anyways.
[QUOTE=credesniper;22816853]I still think it should only be USED(not sold) for medical purposes relating to cancer. Using it as an anti-depressent is silly. I know the word "drug" doesn't fit with marijuana, but I personally will still refer to it as so, because people use it as a substance to get high.
I just don't like the idea of marijuana being legal/easily obtainable.[/QUOTE]
are you stupid? any chemical that alters the bodys normal function is a drug. saying weed isnt a drug is saying like saying a headache tablet isnt a drug.
Oh lord, I must post this.
This is so true that it isn't even funny.

Yeah, i already said i was wrong about that on page one. Sorry.
Gateway theory only has merit because weed is illegal, so it leads to more exposure to the black market. Legalise it and there would be no increase in people on harder drugs.

I can't agree with you more.
If it were legalized then you would completely get rid of the "Hey man, want to try something a bit stronger?" factor.
sounds like op is UNEDUCATED about alchohol! what an asshole!
When I used to smoke, I hated being called a pothead. Just because I smoked every other weekend as a recreational thing with friends, I'm labeled something?
Burning anything produces carcinogens, whether it be weed, tobacco, paper, or Tostitos. Some good information in the OP, but still pretty dumb.
How many GD threads have we had like this? I swear there's at least once every month.

i speak from experiance on alchohol, perscription medicine and tobacco.
My mother died from abusing these factors. In the last months of her life she was increasingly illogical and incomprehensible.
Smoke weed erry day, as the OP states.
Oh boy, here we go...
Thanks Keeshond
i came into the thread expecting the usual gd responses to a weed thread, but this is surprising, it's actually somewhat coherent; good work.
420 smoke weed erryday
OP: "I'm a liberal douchebag and I smoke weed errday"
Opposition: What?
OP + Liberal Minions: "FFFUUU I LOVE WEED"
Sorry, it's almost 5 AM and I haven't slept in a while. I'm still not entirely sure if what I wrote makes any sense, but it's super hilarious to my sleep-deprived brain.
But, really, stop trying to force this stupidity onto everyone. If you do it, great for you. But when you try and spread around how good you think it is, it becomes annoying. Y'all are like the Jehovah's Witnesses of potheads.
Keep it to yourselves and let the world keep on turning.
Boy, am I sleepy.
In my experience, many people who said "Weed is terrible, it's bad for you and blablabla" took back their statements after they actually tried it.
Many people here oppose weed, maybe even endorse it, while they probably never even tried it before. Before you come here or anywhere else with your 'opinion', have some experience to base it on first.
Furthermore, OP looks good but could use a little more elaboration on subjects, and added cons.
For every intelligent thread there is, there's always some fucktard named xXxsMoKeW33D4LyPh420xXx that makes some retarded argument that screws it up for everyone.

Clearly, most people aren't having many problems getting weed.
I love how the people on this forum who are against marijuana have this sense of moral superiority. Get off your high horses. You're not better than someone for not smoking, nor is someone inferior because they smoke. This moral high ground is bullshit. It's the reason our prisons are overloaded with nonviolent offenders arrested for simple possession. Let's look at the situation logistically. If marijuana were legalised there would be an estimated $1 billion reduction in taxes paid to maintain, house, and feed offenders arrested for marijuana related offenses.
[i]"American taxpayers are now spending more than a billion dollars per year to incarcerate its citizens for pot. That's according to statistics recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics.
According to the new BJS report, "Drug Use and Dependence, State and Federal Prisoners, 2004," 12.7 percent of state inmates and 12.4 percent of federal inmates incarcerated for drug violations are serving time for marijuana offenses. Combining these percentages with separate U.S. Department of Justice statistics on the total number of state and federal drug prisoners suggests that there are now about 33,655 state inmates and 10,785 federal inmates behind bars for marijuana offenses. The report failed to include estimates on the percentage of inmates incarcerated in county and/or local jails for pot-related offenses.
Multiplying these totals by U.S. DOJ prison expenditure data reveals that taxpayers are spending more than $1 billion annually to imprison pot offenders."[/i]
And that's from 2004. One can assume that the statistics have since increased.
This isn't even to mention the huge blow it would deal to the drug cartels currently running amok in Mexico.
