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

[QUOTE=An Actual Bear;32846089]I wouldn't say it smells awful, but it definitely smells funky.[/QUOTE] The smell can range from sweet to skunk-like, it all depends on the strain.

[QUOTE=Van-man;32844281]Well then you'll never understand them. Simple as that.[/QUOTE] They do talk.

[QUOTE=AK'z;32846118]They do talk.[/QUOTE] Experiences with drugs talk? [img]http://w-hat.com/images/emoticons/emot-w-hat.gif?1202358596[/img]

ak'z you really just need to understand that you're incorrect. everything you've said is completely false and irrelevant you have done nothing but cause arguments and spew facts that you pulled out of your ass. you also seem to think that you know everything about cannabis legalization, and you don't. just let it go, and let an actual intelligent conversation take place.

[QUOTE=AzureAngelic;32845122]Out of curiosity, does anyone know what happened in 1977 to cause the sudden spike? Seems kinda odd.[/QUOTE] The War on Drugs happened.

[QUOTE=Javascript;32846236]you have done nothing but cause arguments[/QUOTE] My intent isn't to cause arguements. People stormed in and assumed I was talking as if I knew everything. I'm only discussing the experience here, and there are problems that can arise from the marajuana experience. Obviously not as much so as LSD, but saying it has "No effect" on the mind in some people is just ignorance. At least I'm not the one who looks down on people for taking drugs.

imagine a world without drugs?

[QUOTE=Neolithic v2;32846362]imagine a world without drugs?[/QUOTE] Medicine would not be the same. Hell, I doubt you'd be alive.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;32844821]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] I will. I never mentioned my opinion on whether these substances should be banned or not. :v:

[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]I always find it funny how people can be so against something like a drug yet have never even tried it to begin with.

[QUOTE=Killer900;32846426]I always find it funny how people can be so against something like a drug yet have never even tried it to begin with.[/QUOTE] I'm not against drugs at all. Where did you get that from?

[QUOTE=Miskav;32840473]Considering it actually has medical benefits, which normal smoking doesn't. Yeah it's a reasonably big deal.[/QUOTE] it doesn't have direct benefits, nor does it do anything bad on its own. don't make out it's a goddamn give item_healthkit magicky drug, because its not. it just induces euphoria and such. its not healthy nor unhealthy it is just purgatory

I'm opposed to recreational drug use from a personal standpoint, but am supportive of peoples' right to use those drugs if they so wish, as long as it is being done in a safe and responsible manner. Legalize marijuana, but with similar stipulations applied as alcohol, such as: no operating motor vehicles while under the influence; no public intoxication, or publicly disruptive and dangerous behavior as a result of intoxication; no drug use at the work place, particularly for those people holding sensitive positions, like law enforcement, military, construction, or any other line of work that could be dangerous if performed with dulled reflexes and clouded judgment. Just some basic precautions to ensure that everybody remains safe, you know? Everybody should be happy with such a compromise, right? What happens in the confines of private property should remain nobody's concern but the parties directly involved, so long as nobody is recklessly endangering themselves or others, or otherwise infringing upon somebody's choice not to be involved.

[QUOTE=Vandl92;32846630]There is no reason that this isn't perfectly correct.[/QUOTE] It is a good comment. However, enabling younger people easier access to weed won't go well for the legalisation.

[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] Correction, there have been studies to show that if you're already susceptible to developing psychosis weed can sometimes speed up the process, but then again that's just a theory. In layman's terms weed doesn't cause psychosis, it just sometimes speeds up the process if you're already prediagnosed with it.

I like marijuana. Smoked it straight three years and have enjoyed it. However, I do not condone anyone who does not use it responsibly. I have gone through rough times just not caring about anything. It really takes away all your attention just to have it. I've also been through horrible car accidents from using it and will not advocate operating machinery while under the influence; it really does slow you down. I've also hurt my close friends and acquaintances I would have loved to keep over it. Albeit, these are personal problems, just give it some thought before you start to say it's everything that's good.

and what about the gateway issue?

[QUOTE=Neolithic v2;32847364]and what about the gateway issue?[/QUOTE] trying to make a case against legalization on the back of the gateway theory makes you look really dumb you are likely to drink milk before you try whiskey, but the milk probably had nothing to do with it

[QUOTE=Hans-Gunther 3.;32842938]Never tried pot and I'm not planning on doing it but if it's considered a drug, with all the drug-induced effects then it shouldn't be legalized. Addictions are bad m'kay.[/QUOTE] what is this i dont even

[QUOTE=Neolithic v2;32847364]and what about the gateway issue?[/QUOTE] Are you a troll? Did you know that people can make their own decisions about what to put in and do to their body?

still loling at how AK thinks that every drug experience is exactly the same for everyone hurr my friend said acid is just like pot

Looking down on anything people do with their bodies is despicable. Who are you? You're just another person trying to suppress people you don't like. I don't care what your own anecdotes are, you're not doing this for the betterment of anyone but drug cartels and the pmc's that are used to combat them. Let people do what they want with their bodies, America, wake up. [editline]18th October 2011[/editline] And the things you cite that you say are why it should stay illegal is because it's illegal, it's a self supporting unfair argument that I'm sure someone somewhere planned to make the less intelligent of people be against legalization.

[QUOTE=Neolithic v2;32846414]medicine=/=drugs[/QUOTE] medicine = drugs

[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;32840333]Sooner or later those younger people will be in office. Be nice if it came sooner, but it's not a lost cause.[/QUOTE] And they'll cling to the ideas and the like of their generation and so on and so on.

Neolithic is a bad troll let's stop responding to him.
