2 yr license suspension fml.

I agree with your statement, there are PLENTY of other substances legal and illegal that I also don't condone or use. don't make assumptions.
if you think my stance on "stoners" is rough, would you like me to share my stance on slobbering drunks?
also, I make a distinction between "stoner" and "casual toker" if you are a fucking Spicolli, don't count on love from me. if you blast a bat on a Friday night with the old lady and watch a flick on the couch, you won't EVER draw ire from me.
my beef with "weed" is generally that it just isn't weed that goes with the territory.
I agree to disagree with anyone who wants to go around saying weed is Uber harmless, it isn't, and the effect it has on you as a user, and the people around you who don't use is tangible and profound. no debate there.

I do know this from experience, I sounded just like half the kids in this thread at 16 (although in most cases, much more eloquently worded than some posters itt). I am not a right wing uptight god fearing preacher on a pulpit...rather I am someone who can identify the lost opportunities, and true costs of living that lifestyle.

Walktheboard, I don't even? what are you trying to convey? you are so late to the thread that you missed it already.

My opinion is my own, I will share it as freely as anyone else on this board, and if you do not like what I have to say, IDC, don't read it.

I conversed via PM with a couple of central posters here last night, and I think we understand each other a great deal better at this point. There is no animosity there.

I don't believe it's harmless, I agree there is lots wrong with it but I also believe that if people can drink alcohol and not get shit-faced at work, endangering peoples' lives, then surely the same can be said about those that smoke weed.

Addiction is a product of the individual, personal responsibility needs to be taken into account rather than blaming the object, or activity.

I dislike drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weed, religion and most other intoxicants. Do not touch, not my thing but if it's harming no one else I don't think it's our place to draw the line between what's right, or wrong; legal or illegal.

Just because one person doesn't like something, why should the whole of society be forced into submitting to their moral code? Wearing a suit and tie, and lobbying in parliament doesn't make them right.

^ lol chair.

This thread has got some pretty ridiculous opinions and assumptions. OP just learn from this one and use your best judgment from now on. We all make mistakes so don't be to hard on yourself. Everyone with these negative opinions and wild assumptions about weed should take sometime on a Friday night and smoke a bowl.

LoL

I'm trying to think of how many households I know of with 6 figure incomes that toke. Enough is have to sit and count.

Shit I'm posting from one.

[Jonny Cash]

Lol what a riot.. Pacman.. Tell me another mother goose short story, I enjoy them.

Its gotta be some sort of small town mentality.. To be that passionate about bashing weed smokers.. People die in alcohol related incidents every freakin day.. Trust me its not because its legal. Theres no comparison.

If im a damper on society because I think a certain law is bs, and its not potentially hurting anyone..so be it.
Making it legal will affect everything except the normal people who like to have a toke now and then. They know full well how not to be stupid about it.. They smoke it.. Its not a big deal, and life goes on..
this kid will get a slap on the wrist, and learn from his mistake.. Dont be a knucklehead, and go driving around with it knowing that cops are out there looking to nickel and dime you.
Smoking it period, knowing its illegal always carries some sort of risk, but its minimal..such as life..

[Broom Broom]

lol, so here it is right here.

if you think that smoking dope is cool, should be legal, isn't harmfull in any way, it is cool to drive buzzed, etc, and so forth, whats the problem, just tax it,on and on yada yada...
I am sorry to say, no matter how enlightened you think you are while blazed the reality is kids, you cant see past the end of your own nose.

it is harmful, enjoy your cancer.
it does impair reasoning and memory, enjoy being a retard.
it does slow your motor skills and reactions, enjoy crashing into and killing my family.

do you think I would come at this as strong if I had not personaly experienced this?

I am calling you out on it guys, because you are either,too much about one and only you, or, to stupid to be self aware and realize what you are doing.

being a dope smoker isn't a "culture" and the only lifestyle being a stoner is low class.

you want to be a gheto dweller your whole life? fine. this whole movement to de crim/leagalize is based on self serving drive to get high, sorry thats it.

I know cancer patients that don't use, and people with glauccoma who don't use, why should Tom Dick or Sully have a card that lets them toke for a sore back...fucking pussies? not me bud, check the fucking mirror, I am ok with un-altered reality.

peeps having an occasional toke, at home with the girl on a friday night? what ever, no worse than a beer maybe, but guess what. society says it isnt legal.

you get busted? you knew what you were doing. fucking deal with it.

^^spot on^^

Is this thread about marijuana or is it about alcohol? Because I could have sworn it started with the former yet the latter was once again brought into the debate, as is the case in every single discussion on the subject. It's almost as if the pro-legalization people are trying their damndest to ban everything rather than legalize anything. Protip: Telling someone alcohol kills a lot of people won't convince them to legalize marijuana, it'll convince them to criminalize alcohol as well. It's such a stupid argument that I'm honestly surprised so many people still lean so heavily on it.

I wish they would criminalize alcohol. Alcohol is for degenerates.

it's not a stupid argument, it's show the hypocritical nature of our society. Alcohol is socially acceptable so it's legal even though it's more dangerous and results in more property damage, and business lobbyists heavily influence laws regarding production of foods and pharmaceutics

So from reading your post I can conclude that alcohol causes a negative impact on society, therefore we should ban alcohol. How is that a pro-marijuana argument?

It's not a matter of one or the other, people. Just because some things are legal does not in any way obligate the legalization of anything else. Telling someone that drunk driving kills 15,000 people per year IS NOT a valid reason for legalizing marijuana, it's a valid reason to ban alcohol. Stick to the point.
