[quote]Marijuana contains known toxins and cancer-inducing chemicals, which are stored in fat cells for long periods of time. Scientific research relates marijuana use to damaged brain cells and respiratory systems, decreased hormone production in both sexes, acute memory loss, lowered immune systems and impaired motor skills. THC and marijuana smoke have been directly linked to miscarriage, in-utero fetal death, stillbirth and infant death just after birth, along with behavioral and biological abnormalities of offspring.
Also, contrary to reports concerning medical use of marijuana, there are no reliable scientific studies showing that marijuana is an effective drug for treating nausea and vomiting. Although some studies show that pure THC, one of the many chemicals in marijuana, has some effect in controlling nausea and vomiting, this chemical is available in a pharmaceutical capsule for use by the medical community.[/quote]
It's a burden to other states because the few people who don't already know how to get weed will if California legalizes it.
[QUOTE=frums;16123384]Cannabis was made illegal for partially racist reasons, nothing to do with health. We should have the right to put any other drugs in our body if we choose to.
That's from very heavy, long term use. Schizophrenia is usually a predisposed mental condition anyway, marijuana does not cause it, but may bring it out, which would have happened anyway.
Heroin and morphine are not very physically or mentally dangerous. The problem is how addictive they are, people end up spending all their money to get a fix, and may overdose if they aren't careful.
Nicotine physically changes the brain to create cravings. Most people don't have the self control to stop. I'd say that causes irreparable damage.
Yes we do. We know that cannabis is one of the most harmless substances on the planet. We know the effects of every drug.
Are you serious?[/QUOTE]
Just like we once knew that the world was flat and that leeches and wasps were a valuable tool for doctors.

But you're missing my main question: Why is it bad to legalize weed in the first place.

The quote in my post above, it's harmful.
[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16125125]The quote in my post above, it's harmful.[/QUOTE]
So are Cigarettes, and so is liquor.
Those are both legal substances, and are far more harmful than weed.
And so what if it's harmful, I didn't know you had the right to tell people what they can put into their body.

Did you see how well the prohibition went along?
And yes the government has all the right in the world to tell you what to put in your body. Marijuana is harmful, we don't want to draft a bunch of useless twats to fight our next Vietnam.

Oh so you're trolling alright.
pot is already legalized in calif p much. just get a card.
i prefer cocaine.
[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16124338]So the people who are illegally growing weed on state parks and have for two or so generations been growing weed on heavily wooded lots to hide it from the police are not actually criminals, but, licensed growers. Wow, I guess you're not just rationalizing your drug use by putting a legal face on it.
[/quote]
Uhh, they would be growing it legally if the bill goes through. But there ARE licensed growers in the state who supply dispenserses.

I'm not part of the counter-culture, there's too much symbolism, crappy music, crappy fashion, and general idiocy. That doesn't mean I can't understand how a foreign system works because it's, well foreign.
[/quote] who said that shit, the only aspect in it a lot of people in california partake is the actual buying and selling of it, and music is everything, because generally all music sounds good while stoned, anyone that picks a certain kind like it for the feel or just like that kind of music overall

I'm glad you understand that this thread is about the legalization of marijuana in California and only California, but it effects regions much larger than California, all of your neighboring states will be burdened by your states choice if it fails to strictly regulate the sale of weed. Much in the way people in Minnesota go over to Wisconsin to buy fireworks.[/QUOTE]
Did you just compare something that can be potentially deadly to others and the planet itself to a harmless plant?
New marijuana tax fails: "Yes, officer, I paid the tax."
You sneak in marijuana, say you paid the tax, all good.

Then they'll probably pay someone to buy it for them. At least then they aren't funding fucking gangs.

Not a troll, if you'd like to dispute my argument go ahead, but I'd like something more than "It's not bad for you, you do worse things".
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;16076728]Yeah... because smoking pot means your a fucking druggie. Yay for ignorance.
How the fuck does this get dumbs? Smoking pot really doesn't mean your a druggie. Why the fuck do people think that?[/QUOTE]
Because pot is a drug. A drug that makes you hallucinate.

Inb4 stoners rate me dumb for disliking pot.
I'm all for legalizing and taxing it, but LA is a cesspool as it is.

LA is fine. Hollywood is a shithole, though.
Legalizing pot will open a whole new generation of culinary expertise.
Hey, look at it like this for the pot haters (ironically includes me sort of)
The government gets out of debt and our crime system improves
nice deal eh?

How can one dislike an inanimate object? What, did pot take your prom date or something?
because pot is a drug and people don't like drugs

Rated "gaybow" instead.
because of a bad experience, it's effects or how it affected you
My dad got fucked up on pot, so I stay the hell away from it.
