Record-High 50% of Americans Favor Legalizing Marijuana Use - Polidicks

[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;32840278]I am an occasional smoker and I don't think it's a good idea personally.[/QUOTE] Is it just me or is American political discourse the best place to overhear the most hilarious hypocrisies

Hey, maybe he's scared his supply of good shit will dry up if it gets legalised?

I have never smoked, but personally I think it should stay Illegal. Besides it smelling god-awful, the way it turns people into basic retards is beyond annoying too. I have been around enough people who do smoke and have been to parties here, but have yet to find a reason why people do it. A reasoning of "lets get high mannnnn and feel like were trippingggg" is not good enough for me.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32840583]Better than Herman Cain or Mitt Romney.[/QUOTE] mitt romney already fucked my state over and i don't want him even going near the other 49

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32844671]Ban alcohol too then[/QUOTE]Agreed.

[QUOTE=teslacoil;32844735]On second though, I don't like your post, and I'm sure you smell bad, so lets ban you too.[/QUOTE]The only difference is I don't post to act cool and to be a rebel to society.

[QUOTE=Terragen;32844782]The only difference is I don't post to act cool and to be a rebel to society.[/QUOTE] Because I'm posting to look cool and rebel? Are you kidding me? I'm posting for this thing called logic.

[QUOTE=AK'z;32842727]It does if the body isn't use to the level of alcohol in the system. Then again if the vomit function is disabled as someone said, then clearly the arguement doesn't stand.[/QUOTE] AK'z, I like you. I really do. You are great poster in the music section. But there is insurmountable evidence towards the safety of Marijuana and insurmountable evidence that shows Alcohol is much more destructive. I would reccommend you look into the Reefer madness controversy that happened during the early 1900s

[QUOTE=teslacoil;32844793]Because I'm posting to look cool and rebel? Are you kidding me? I'm posting for this thing called logic.[/QUOTE]That is not what I was saying. You were comparing my post to my opinion.

[QUOTE=Terragen;32844706]Agreed.[/QUOTE] Ban everything else that poses a risk to yourself and others too firing guns, driving vehicles

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32844863]Ban everything else that poses a risk to yourself and others too firing guns, driving vehicles[/QUOTE]That too.

[QUOTE=Terragen;32844857]That is not what I was saying. You were comparing my post to my opinion.[/QUOTE] Exactly, because your opinion is ridiculous.

[QUOTE=AK'z;32843865]No, I don't want to smoke weed and trip on acid in order to understand what a drug experience is like. Words may not be able to describe the experience, seeing as people are being so vague here about the actual experience.[/QUOTE] Psychedelic experiences are unique to each and every person. Two different people taking the same psychedelic will have wildly differing experiences due to differing beliefs, subconciousness, 'set and setting' and outlook on everything in general. Each person will have a unique experience that will be very hard to describe to other people since it, to the person, will defy the borders of normality. Literally a "You have had to be me to understand it" experience. [editline]18th October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Terragen;32844881]That too.[/QUOTE] And there goes your importance in this argument.

[QUOTE=Terragen;32844782]The only difference is I don't post to act cool and to be a rebel to society.[/QUOTE] don't take this personally but you're an idiot you couldn't even make a rational comeback to what he said so you feel the need to write some hideously absurd post about acting cool, well done

[QUOTE][img]http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/f9nyco05-um-ww_mfbuo9q.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Out of curiosity, does anyone know what happened in 1977 to cause the sudden spike? Seems kinda odd. Also this only furthers my belief that the entire world is going to change once the old people of last generation are out of power.

[QUOTE=Terragen;32844881]That too.[/QUOTE] Did that seriously just fucking work

You know, like any legitimate legal reason?

There's a massive medicinal benefit that the common man cannot reap due to lies and deceit. If you knew the story of why it was illegal, you'd understand why it's absolutely buttfuck retarded that it's still illegal. I use cannabis to deter my auto-immune disease, Crohns disease. I smoke more or less every day, yet I still maintain a 3.9 GPA as a sophomore in college, and I'm double majoring and going to law school. This idea that all stoners are useless retards is completely irrelevant. While yes, there are complete retards, but 98% of potheads are functional members of society. Don't quote me on that, I'm just using it as an example.

[QUOTE=Swilly;32843275]I get high, I have to lay on the ground or I'm afraid I'll fall over. Even when I'm in bed, I must be laying on a hard surface. Its why I do it only during the day.[/QUOTE] On a side note, this is actually because marijuana decreases blood pressure, and decreased blood pressure in the brain can trigger the fainting reflex.

Colorado is looking to push out a recreational MJ bill that would effectively legalize it, you just can't sell it. So my time will come in January.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;32841639]Anyone know how those petitions on We The People are going for legalizing?[/QUOTE][url]https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/legalize-and-regulate-marijuana-manner-similar-alcohol/y8l45gb1[/url] Almost to 60,000 now, and the deadline for getting 5,000 is in 4 days so hopefully we hear something from then.

[QUOTE=HawkeyeTy;32840271]As nice as this is, I don't see the States legalizing pot anytime in the near future. Obama's pretty much flat out ignored what he said during his campaigning about it so it will probably always be illegal on a Federal level while he's in office. Which sucks.[/QUOTE] What a surprise that Obama isn't living up to his campaign's promises I'm kind of surprised that weed is still illegal, but then I remembered that it's America, and everyone knows that you can't have freedom without the government telling you what plants you can and cannot smoke.

[QUOTE=Miskav;32840473]Considering it actually has medical benefits, which normal smoking doesn't. Yeah it's a reasonably big deal.[/QUOTE] It has a lot of negatives as well, there is no such thing as good smoke for your lungs. Plus a lot of medicines around have the same "benefits" weed do but there legal.

[editline]18th October 2011[/editline] Legalize it anyway though.

I wouldn't say it smells awful, but it definitely smells funky.
