Perhaps, the lack of progress has been caused by the unwillingness of anti-legalization proponents to state anything of relevance. I'm simply waiting for someone to provide a logical explanation as to why marijuana should remain illegal. References to Constitutional law would be most welcome, as would some statistical analyses of drug policy efficacy.
Oh lord.
Carry on.
:doh
Are you going to debate the topic at hand or simply waste my time with quips and stupid smiley icons? Whenever you're ready to discuss the particulars of law and statistics be sure to let me know.
“Weed is illegal because it’s bad and it’s bad because it’s illegal and we can’t legalize it because then people would smoke it and you just want it legalized because you want to smoke it and that would be bad because weed is illegal because it’s bad.” [undertone]Smoking weed is a moral failing, I feel obligated to punish you for it and damn you for trying to disempower me from doing just that.[/undertone]
Why does anyone still bother “debating” these people? Their views are based on emotions incapable of being expressed rationally, so their only contribution is to tacitly deride the opposition with feigned discourse.
Ethereal, that would be a NO.
I am getting absolutely tired of this argument and the blatantly erroneous premises upon which anti-legalization proponents base their position.
There is no reason to argue against the legalization of marijuana...NONE. There is no legal reasoning, there is no logical reasoning, there is no philosophical reasoning, there is no moral reasoning. ANYONE who thinks otherwise, please inform me so that we can proceed to have a true debate on the topic, otherwise, keep your silly, emotionally-based arguments to yourself because I'm tired of hearing them.
What I find most ironic, is some of the most vehement defenders of the Second Amendment resort to the EXACT same tactics as the anti-gun crowd with their idiotic and nonsensical demonizing of an inanimate object. How can you defend guns against a brazenly idiotic premise while utilizing the exact same premise against marijuana? How can one fail to see this!? The hypocrisy of some people is simply astonishing.
That's rather funny after you 'thanked' this very erudite post just a bit earlier...
:rofl
Ethereal played his hand in his first post here:
You have to love posters who enter a debate by saying there's absolutely nothing to debate. Then complain that people aren't debating them.
:rofl

It would appear that you have nothing of relevance left to "contribute" to the discussion at hand.

I mean Grateful Dead just established that marijuana wasn't made illegal because it was unhealthy or because it was somehow bad for the public.
It was made illegal so some conservative could push up his career.
What is rational about smoking pot?

What is rational about drinking alcohol? What is rational about eating fast food? What is rational about cliff diving? What is rational about Parachuting? What is rational about being deep sea diving? What is rational about football? What is rational about driving a Hummer? What is rational about owning an SUV while only living in the city?
I wasn't aware rational was a requirement for something to be legal.
but the notion that this will solve California’s or any State’s revenue problems makes me laugh hysterically.
Yes, we need more people to just get stoned and sit around waiting for their Government checks. This will keep the economy going. :rofl
Solve? No. Help? Yes.
And idiot conservatives need to grow up instead of generalizing everyone that smokes pot as lazy. I know all to well there are more successful people than you that smoke pot.
You obviously aren't aware of anything rational when debating either.
Carry on.
Watching you call others idiots smacks of irony. :rofl
More insults, but no substance. Carry on.
What is rational about smoking pot?
Government has NEVER been the solution, yet all the potheads on the forum argue that it is and if we legalized POT, it would help balance budgets.
What is rational about drinking beer?
Oh god I hope you drink beer.

Had to bold this statement for emphasis LOL.
Yet you turn to the government to make pot illegal, now THAT is the definition of Irony :rofl
Carry on :2wave:
And you think you are rational; by all means carry on. :roll:
Can't handle the truth huh? you like the government to intervene when it is something you want. I guess conservatives do like government intervening.
Carry on. :2wave:
