Ask yourself - are drugs the answer?
[QUOTE=Neolithic v7;29492040]Ask yourself - are drugs the answer?[/QUOTE] When it's necessary. Weed is a bit analgesic for chronic pain and also it helps when you're in a depression (I took weed about one month after a hard rupture, and I was very fine. Better than taking fucking Xanax or other shitty drugs like this).
[QUOTE=Neolithic v7;29492040]Ask yourself - are drugs the answer?[/QUOTE] You only live once. It's may sound like a cliché, but the more I think about it and how it affects my choices, the more I find that it is true. Drugs may not be THE answer, nothing is, but you may as well experiment a little while you can.
[QUOTE=Loucouss;29491607]Now, you know why we don't have a governement. We are too high to decide... LOL[/QUOTE] No that's because they are belgians. All they do is fight instead of debating and walk out of the room in protest.
Pot is illegal because using it makes you very likely to bum around with no job for long periods of time, which is bad for the economy. Cigarettes and alcohol are certainly more personally harmful, but not as harmful to a progressive society as pot is.
Marijuana bad for the economy? If they would legalize it in the US the economy would be boosted! Employers can still ban the use of pot. Nothing changes besides fixing the economy. On the other hand, tobacco and alcohol kills people. Dead people can't pay taxes. There's is no thing, no drug no nothing that can transform a person into a bum. A person chooses to become a bum.

Cigarettes should be as well since they cause cancers and support for people with no health insurance (majority of smokers being poorer people with lower class jobs) costs government money. Pot is completely harmless and is a child in a warehouse standing next to a hundred burly men with shotguns.
[QUOTE=Red Crayon;29483372]Weed's illegal because of two main reasons. First, theres no reason to legalize it, all of you guys are just stating because alcohol and ciggerettes are more harmful than weed, it should be legalized. It's medicinal? you can simply take pain killers rather than smoke Weed. Second, there are thousands of kids smoking weed when its still illegal think about how easy they can get their hands on it when its legal. It's not that i think weed is bad i just think its not a issue right now. I'm a stoner too if i say so myself.[/QUOTE] First it is a valid point. Weed is less harmful then ciggerettes and since its legal so should weed. 2nd there is a reason. No more money spent on stopping weed and instead a lot of people giving taxes to the government. 3rd you have to prove why weed should be illegal not the other way around. 4rth it will no longer be a gate way drug and a country that recently made weed legal had there weed usage drop. especially in kids because its no longer cool. and 5th there are many things weed could do for people with cancer, autism or extreme add that other medicine can't.
Pot is less harmful to an individual I agree. Compared with the amount of people who drink it, alcohol produces a tiny number of people who drink any time other than in the evenings after work. Cigarettes cause you to die at 65 rather than 75, they dont have a real effect on the workforce.

[QUOTE=Neolithic v7;29492040]Ask yourself - are drugs the answer?[/QUOTE] Are you kidding me? listen here bud. Welcome to the world of drugs. asprin is a drug and you take it when you get a headache. Nyquil is a drug, you take it when you have a cough keeping you up at night. We western cultures use drugs to solve any problem we see fit, so ARE drugs the answer?
[QUOTE=Red Crayon;29483372] you can simply take pain killers rather than smoke Weed.[/QUOTE] but you cant overdose on weed
[QUOTE=MrB0BS4g3t;29497929]but you cant overdose on weed[/QUOTE] Imagine all the movie stars that would be alive today if they just smoked weed.

Why take synthetic medicen when the natural shit is right there, and easier to aquire in some cases hehee
Fuck, i just got into this and watched most of these, and this really changed my idea about marijuana, before i didn't really care about it all that much, and i thought it had a lot of serious effects, but this video really proved me wrong :unsmith:

Goverment is using up HUGE amounts of money to war against weed.
