[QUOTE=J!NX;32926461]Addiction is a change in chemical make up of the brain making someone physically have side-effects of not using it so... no... you can't.

[QUOTE=Ylsid;32925290] Okay, so they haven't found [i]conclusive[/i] evidence so it appears, but just how much it looks like it could fuck up school life isn't worth it. People should not be allowed to share substances that have the potential to cause this much harm in such a short timescale.[/QUOTE] Some people are naturally more at risk of developing mental health problems as time goes on, whether it's in the family or caused by long and short term environmental triggers. I don't remember ever having any weed (or any other drugs - definitely missed out on something there) and my school life was a mess for all of those reasons listed anyway. So I'm inclined to believe that cannabis isn't one of those triggers and that most people who go on to develop problems like anxiety or paranoia would have done so without using it.

Go watch some documentaries. This sounds generic, but I have friends that are A students, one that's been doing math classes grades above him for years now, and they all enjoy their THC and cannabinoids. Go watch the Union or something. I am kind of pissed that you want to "protect" people from themselves when they truly don't need some ignorant psycho protecting them, even less so protectors that are in it for the cash, will lock you up, and not the facts.

A negative one as well.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;32917801]Does shooting someone make me an arms trafficker?[/QUOTE] That'd make you an ammo trafficker.

I just want all Canadians to know that this bill [b]will[/b] pass because the conservatives have a majority Harper wants to make an unrecognizable Canada and that's what he's doing right now

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32930478]I just want all Canadians to know that this bill [b]will[/b] pass because the conservatives have a majority Harper wants to make an unrecognizable Canada and that's what he's doing right now[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, yes. Lets just hope the supreme court over rules some of this nonsense.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;32917801]Does shooting someone make me an arms trafficker?[/QUOTE] no it makes you a murderer and you will probably go to prison.

This is news? I thought it was obvious that sharing was still trafficking as they really only define trafficking as transfer from person to person.

honestly, smoking cannabis is just irresponsible and immature, and I think most people knows that

[QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32937410]honestly, smoking cannabis is just irresponsible and immature, and I think most people knows that[/QUOTE] It is not, and I think most people know that.

This is one of those dumb laws that's near impossible to enforce.

[QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32937410]honestly, smoking cannabis is just irresponsible and immature, and I think most people knows that[/QUOTE] So is drinking alcohol. But fuck that, I wanna have fun without giving a damn about what everyone else think. And that's what I do, so fuck people with a opinion like yours.

Hey, why not see which one can throw little Timmy the farthest?

[QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32940578]yet this is FP, where people try to act "smart"[/QUOTE] And you're a prime example of that. [QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32940578]also, alcohol being legal is not a reason to legalize weed[/QUOTE] Except alcohol is both more addictive, can easier kill you and you're also more likely to make you do really stupid things when drunk, compared to when high.

[QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32940578]yet this is FP, where people try to act "smart" [editline]24th October 2011[/editline] also, alcohol being legal is not a reason to legalize weed[/QUOTE] The risks of weed are less than alcohol, there's greater benefit, and there's less chance of addiction.

[QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32937410]honestly, smoking cannabis is just irresponsible and immature, and I think most people knows that[/QUOTE] I know 40 year old plus professionals in the entertainment and movie industry that regularly smoke weed. Your statement is bullshit.

[QUOTE=Neolithic v5;32940578] also, alcohol being legal is not a reason to legalize weed[/QUOTE] yes it is

[QUOTE=Van-man;32944203]And you're a prime example of that. Except alcohol is both more addictive, can easier kill you and you're also more likely to make you do really stupid things when drunk, compared to when high.[/QUOTE] Except you're seeing things to black and white. If alcohol causes so much damage, do you really think the solution is [B]more drugs?[/B] (how long until people want other things legalized?) Without question, in the long run the best for everone would be a society without drugs. So let's keep weed illegal. Alcohol and tobacco can't currently be banned obviusly, but as the state (and other entities) informs people of the dangers use will hopefully dicline (see the vastly decreased tobacco use in younger generation) and one they there won't even be a need for alvohol and tobacco. And I think with no drugs (instead of two) a lot of the hype will die down and people can focus on other thing. A lot of "freedom radicals" will dissagre with me, but I think it's time to realize this - there [B]CAN'T BE[/B] a society without limiting peoples freedom, infact that is one of it's prime purpose, how else can we have laws? Most people like society, so accept it or move into the woods I guess. How well would you do on own? [editline]25th October 2011[/editline] tl;dr it doesn't matter wich one is worse, both have no place in society and should eventually be removed

A society without drugs would be a boring society. They definetly have place in society.

No offence dude, but if you can't cope with your life/find it boring without the use of drugs maybe you should take a good long think. This exactlybis the problem with drugs.
