I tried to follow the conversation but your posts read like incoherent gibberish. That's a "you" problem.It helps to follow the conversation so you get the context.
I actually didn't know that. I never got into pot, strictly because it's illegal and I'm very much on-the-grid, regular UAs and everything.I wish to god that the media would stop calling it marijuana. There is no such plant species called marijuana. It's called CANNABIS.
Oh come off it, even alcohol and tobacco affect the people around you. Alcoholics, lung cancer, smoking in public, DUI, numerous fire codes, medical/car insurance rates (especially if a non-user has a user on a shared policy)....I'm all for legalizing pot but that argument is pure bull****.Legalize it. Not only is it less harmful than alcohol, it's inherently immoral to imprison human beings for non-violent behavior that effects nobody but themselves.

whatever.
This site has the best software for debating and dialoguing, the but people and moderators and moderation "rules" are ridiculous. Rent-a-cops busting people for going 1 mile over the speed limit. I don't have the patience for such absurdity and suffocation over benign speech.
Talk about a nanny state! Yuck.
I'm outta here.
If you cannot conclusively prove that each and every single smoker anyways uses a vaporizer and only smokes in their home, you have no point to begin with.If you can tell me how my smoking via vaporizer in the privacy of my own home effects other people, I will concede.
It's a controled substance which bars you from operating equipment or a vehicle while under the influence there-of. You really don't know much about this topic. Jesus dude get a clue and get back to me.Alcoholics? What does that have to do with weed?
Well let's start with the fact that the government body which will be regulating weed is the same body which currently regulates alcohol, tobacco...and firearms.Alcoholics? What does that have to do with weed?
Do you know the people I know? I could say anything and you have no way to verify it. Ask better questions.Even still, how many people have you met with lung cancer from weed?

So you agree that smoking pot affects other people.DUI? They shouldn't be driving under ANY substance.
I'm in construction, I'm dead serious.Fire codes? Wtf? Really?
It's the business of every signing party on that contract. If you are on a shared policy, your smoking is affecting others by raising their premiums.Medical/car insurance rates? It's none of their business.
Against what? Smoking pot? I said I'm all for it.RabidAlpaca;1061487889E said:If you'd like to provide some actual reasons against it, I'll be here.

Back in the day I smoked what my fiends called Australian Purple. Do you know what the correct name for that species is, if it's even a species at all? I honestly have no idea. It was smooth, and should cannabis become legal again that's what I may go looking for.Marijuana (word) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word was invented during the Reefer Madness era and has no real connection to any known language. I guess one of the best ways to demonize something is to create a foreign sounding name for it.
You can watch Reefer Madness, the propaganda video that started the whole criminalization campaign, here. If it weren't so laughable I'd cry.

.....And where do alcoholics come in again?
I've heard that pot affects short term memory....you may want to lay off the puff-puff for 24-72 hours before coming here to debate me.Legalize it. Not only is it less harmful than alcohol, it's inherently immoral to imprison human beings for non-violent behavior that effects nobody but themselves.
Of course. They abhor a free market.
the best argument for legalizing Reefer is not claims that it is harmless or less harmful than booze but rather keeping it illegal is FAR more harmful than legalization

I don't have to. My argument is that smoking in and of itself doesn't effect anyone else but the smoker. Your point seems to be that it always effects everybody. By your logic, you could take anything, to include eating bologna sandwiches as having effects on society.If you cannot conclusively prove that each and every single smoker anyways uses a vaporizer and only smokes in their home, you have no point to begin with.
And? Why do you keep bringing up alcoholics in a debate about cannabis?It's a controled substance which bars you from operating equipment or a vehicle while under the influence there-of. You really don't know much about this topic. Jesus dude get a clue and get back to me.
So after I ask you why you bring up alcoholism in a cannabis debate, you quote the ATF? That doesn't even make sense.Well let's start with the fact that the government body which will be regulating weed is the same body which currently regulates alcohol, tobacco...and firearms.
Nope, and I don't need to. Nobody you know has lung cancer from weed.Do you know the people I know? I could say anything and you have no way to verify it. Ask better questions.
No, it doesn't. Some idiots doing stupid things on it, just as with alcohol, huffing paint, or anything effects people. People's actions are people's actions. I swear, you're like one of those liberals screaming about how guns kill people and not the people themselves. Hypocrite much?So you agree that smoking pot affects other people.
Guess you're opposed to grills, stoves, coffee pots, tv's, electricity, wool, matches, cigarettes, etc. for being fire hazards as well.I'm in construction, I'm dead serious.
It's illegal, nobody puts it on their insurance questionaires.It's the business of every signing party on that contract. If you are on a shared policy, your smoking is affecting others by raising their premiums.
And yet you get angry and attack people who allegedly are on your side. Cute.Against what? Smoking pot? I said I'm all for it.
Your argument is just bull****. I fully support legalizing recreational pot immediately, but your argument is lame and pathetic.
****
You smoking pot will affect others....but that's OK. If you don't want to pay a higher premium while on a shared policy with a smoker, get your own policy. If you don't like a building full of smoke, don't do business there. Other people will be affected....but that's OK. Other people are affected when I open-carry a gun...and that's OK too. While other people are affected...they are not harmed...or they at least have the ability to remove themselves from a situation if they feel they are being harmed.
