[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;15916691]The funny thing is that we occasionally get meritocratic societies like that proposed by 13-year olds. Hooray for eugenics.[/QUOTE] Which is precisely why we don't let children vote, let alone run the world.

[QUOTE=Lankist;15916650]While we're at it why don't we just assign people jobs based on their physical and mental capabilities. Sure, it completely destroys individual choice, but it sure as hell will advance the country economically![/QUOTE] i demand more kraftwerk

[QUOTE=gerard;15916161]Of course I would want to compromise with them. If it means the legalisation of weed, it'd be worth it.

[QUOTE=Elementality;15909204]because you have no idea about it. no idea about how many jobs it would create and how many deaths it would stop. i know you'll disagree, but it would create jobs like the tobacco industry has and would stop deaths due to stuff like gang related issues. think about it.[/QUOTE] man gangs are still gonna be slingin', no matter what, and they'll probably still be selling cheaper than any shops will. Why would they stop just because it's legalised? Plus there is still going to be gang related deaths due to dope and coke so it won't really have changed at all. I'm not anti weed legalisation by the way, just saying it wouldnt be the amazing cure all everyone thinks it would be [editline]11:46AM[/editline] also personally I don't see whats so important about legalising it. sure I get the whole "it's better than cigarettes and helps people cope with glaucoma." argument, but is it really that urgent that they legalise it? you can still get ahold of it easily even when it's illegal, and unless you're smoking it in the middle of trafalgar square or something then you aren't goin'ta be arrested for it. plus if it was legalised and the dealers did stop slingin' then what would happen to them? they most likely aren't applicable for a job anymore which basically leaves benefits, which is bad for the country, violent crime, also bad, or higher level drugs i.e. heroin or cocaine which is also bad. So maybe we should keep weed illegal, so the dealers have a remotely :airquote:legitimate way of making money

[/QUOTE] The reason why people want it legalized is because there's no valid reason why it's illegal in the first place. US prisons are exploding because of poor people who get thrown behind bars for possession. The problem is, it's not illegal because it's bad but because not only growers and dealers gain profit due to the prohibition, there's also the private prisons, pharma corporations and anti drug forces n shit who'd lose alot of money if weed was ever legalized. Prisons would lose inmates, Pharma Corps wouldn't be able to sell their insanely expensive medication because weed helps (fun fact, they're trying to create synthetic THC because that's the only way to get a copyright on the effect and more money) and the anti drug forces would lose a whole lot of money because weed is their primary 'income'. So you see, there's [I]a whole lot of money [/I]behind the prohibition. It's like a little deal between lawful and the unlawful. Let's enjoy our 'democratic' capitalism.

[QUOTE=Doug52392;15912436]Don't we actually have receptors in our brains specifically designed to process weed? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor[/url] Clearly, from a scientific standpoint, the creation of a specific G-protein coupled receptor in humans specifically designed to process weed is evidence that weed has been used throughout the history of civilization.[/QUOTE] Obviously because evolution happens that quick. Also since when was Wikipedia a reliable source.
There's nothing wrong with wikipedia if it's not about a controversial subject (like the science of marijuana). You're just looking for troll ammo
You're confusing yourself.
i love how every thread on marijuana has idiots from both sides saying its needs to be legal and people who say its bad and should stay illegal, and both have no idea what they are talking about. I think it should stay illegal because if it was legal and easily obtainable then no one would buy it from me and I would be out of business.

Lankist is doing a pretty good job on arguing his side. It is pretty evident because people aren't replying to his statements, but rather going on personal insults or other irrelevant topics. Maybe I'll join in when I get some free time.
It's because he's right, and the people arguing the other side are just idiots that believe everything the government says is true and in the best interests of everyone, and believe everything they see on the news.
[QUOTE=Lankist;15924284]Yet again, avoidance through belittlement[/QUOTE] Boo hoo logical fallacy wah wah wah. Also rape is legal what the fuck are you guys on about.
[QUOTE=Lankist;15909246] It should be enough that we live in a free society, and in such we should have the right to control our bodies, our intake and our lifestyles.

Both the nation's Constitution and founding ideology seem to agree with my point of view.
Hay guyse, marijuana stops heroin addiction. Now you should smoke it regardless of whether or not you do heroin!
I slightly regret even making this thread. Didn't expect to come back a day later and find 4 pages on it... But then I see that its almost 4 pages of an arguement I did kind of start. Seriously though, please, keep this arguement unpersonal, unbias, and make sure [b]you know what you're talking about![/b] :argh: By that I mean dont start saying "lol u stoners go back to drug discusion cus weed kills ur brain and taht is why it was ilegalised" Let's just say that marijuana was originally made illegal becuase of unfair competition when it was used as [b]HEMP[/b], which you can't even smoke.

You pay like a $50 fine or something in CA for posession of 24g or less which is quite a lot of weed and not that much $$$.
