Anyone know how those petitions on We The People are going for legalizing?

[QUOTE=AK'z;32841505]People can still abuse it, doesn't matter if you do it in moderation, some people might do it all day non-stop.[/QUOTE] Just like some people abuse Cigarettes and Alcohol. There will always be the abusers, but you cant punish the normal users for their mistakes and choices.

Funny how conservatives and Republicans are so largely not in favour, I thought they were all about liberty and individual freedoms and the government not telling people what to do

At least with alcohol it makes you feel ill so most of it ends up out of your system.

[QUOTE=furious_d;32841835]Abuse with alcohol can also lead to your death[/QUOTE] Depends what you're drinking. Not many people are dumb enough to try Absinthe.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;32841826]what are you talking about, don't you know weed has no negative effects at all and can cure all forms of cancer[/QUOTE] It cured me after a witch turned me into a NEWT!

If it would be legal and all that, i would be curious if the max amount of weed you can take is the same as in Holland, or even less

[QUOTE=AK'z;32841852]Depends what you're drinking. Not many people are dumb enough to try Absinthe.[/QUOTE] Alcohol makes you dumb(er), so yeah. Especially considering some broke alcoholics would even drink methanol just to get the buzz.

So if a person went out to get heavily drunk, they would lose the dangerous amount.

Who's to say that the ones getting psychosis wouldn't have gotten it already? As I said in a related thread: I mean, whatever happened to the government serving the will of the people?

The federal government would be foolish to not legalize it in the near future. Not only are the economic implications excellent, but if they continue to go against what the masses want, the government will lose face, as well as the courts. It shouldn't be illegal, it's only illegal based on lies and slander.

Not quite as extreme as LSD, but somewhere along the lines of it. That experience can make you lose your train of thought in the long run. I don't use statistics because it's common sense.

[QUOTE=Swilly;32842079]Oddly enough, at least alcoholics can still function.[/QUOTE] I've lived in a ghetto with a couple of alcoholics. Even kids with downs syndrome are more functional than them.

[QUOTE=AK'z;32841776]Abuse with Weed leeds to psychosis. At least with alcohol it makes you feel ill so most of it ends up out of your system.[/QUOTE] the only link between psychosis and marijuana is those who are genetically pre-disposed to schizophrenia.

[QUOTE=Van-man;32842101] Common sense includes using statistics, so show 'em :colbert:[/QUOTE] No because I've listened to Dark Side of The Moon a shit load of times and now realise why it had a big influence on psychedelia with substances.

Having used both multiple times (LSD 5-6 times) and being a frequent smoker, I can firmly say that the experiences are nowhere near the same.

[QUOTE=Javascript;32842106]the only link between psychosis and marijuana is those who are genetically pre-disposed to schizophrenia.[/QUOTE] Anyone can have a psych experience with marajuana, therefore no.

[QUOTE=Javascript;32842126] oh wow. are you serious? pink floyd's best album =/= influence on psychedelia/substances[/QUOTE] Yes I am serious. Do you know nothing about psychedelia? It's all relative.
