Everyone in favor of legalizing marijuana is a pot smoker.

You know, repeating yourself doesn't make it true.

How about some facts or an actual argument? Got either of those? Something to fly in the face of the ones that have been presented directly contrary to what you've been erroneously concluding?

yeah I am almost positive this is a sock puppet of someone who was trolling a while back (like a year or so), I cannot recall the names he used back then though, same MO, and exact same stupidity.

This just sounds like a lack of creativity on your part. I can think of several reasons why a non-smoker would support legalization.

1. They don't feel threatened enough by marijuana users to spend time and money harassing them.

2. They want the extra tax revenue.

3. They think it will undercut profit motive in the black market.

Would you like some more?

No, I don't want to hear more made-up lies. I want to hear people agreeing with me. I can't be the only one on this site who doesn't smoke.

Why would they complain about that? Don't drug-free people believe jail is where druggies belong?

You quite the intolerant person. Why would you want to imprison someone that has never done you any harm?

You seem somewhat new to this game, so I'll help you out. This is a debate forum, so we try to use reason and research and stuff to present our contentions in a way that is supported by factual data, and forces our opponent to resort to namecalling and juvenile shenanigans in order to maintain their delusion of being right.

For example, your contention that only pot smokers would support legalizing pot has been met with a plethora of reasons they would, as well as firsthand testimonials from non-smokers (such as myself) who support it.

Really the only way you can maintain the whole "only pot-smokers support it" delusion is to call us all liars, and say that we are actually potheads and are just ashamed to admit it.

Then you should follow up with some sort of response to the reasons people have given for supporting it other than being a pothead.

For example, you could say that individual liberties endanger the wholesomeness of the collective. Or research the cost of the war on drugs and compare it to the cost of letting pot-smokers go unpunished, in an attempt to convince people that the latter is somehow more expensive than the former.

Then you need to go on the offensive, to show people who dangerous and evil pot really is, for example:

Marijuana use reduces learning ability. Research has been piling up of late demonstrating clearly that marijuana limits the capacity to absorb and retain information. A 1995 study of college students discovered that the inability of heavy marijuana users to focus, sustain attention, and organize data persists for as long as 24 hours after their last use of the drug.

Basic Facts About Drugs: Marijuana

See how I did that? Now Riverrat will come back with some sort of reasoned response about how if people choose to limit their own capacity to absorb and retain information, that should be their choice, etc...

What you need to do then is to do some research on what happens when people are allowed to make their own choices about what to put in their own bodies, so that you can formulate a rational response to convince her that the government should be in charge of every aspect of people's lives, for their own good...

Hope that helps.:2wave:

Oh, so you're a bitter loser. Why didn't you just say so in the beginning?

It seems there are only 2 ways to do this:

1. Start saying things that are correct so that somebody can agree with it.

or

2. Keep saying the same stupid, incorrect things that nobody on Earth agrees with, but do so in an echo chamber.

That's a pretty narrow minded view there.

I don't smoke marijuana or even tobacco... and yet I'm for legalization. Why? The room that is being occupied in our prisons by casual drug users could be much better put to use for real criminals. :?

Do you really believe what you've posted here or are you trying to be provocative?

Whoops. I won't waste any more of my time.

I don't smoke weed, but I am all for legalization. Reason? Because, unless someone is doing harm to someone else, whether or not he smokes weed is nobody's business but his own.
 
I don't smoke either and I think weed should be treated the same as alcohol.
 
Aha! I was right... sock puppet or sneak-back-in. He's been banned (again).

I don't smoke it and could care less about wasting my time to rally its cause in support, but neither do I oppose it. Lack of support doesn't always infer opposition.
 
I support legalization and do not smoke weed, nor would I start if it became legal.

I don't drink, or smoke cigarettes or pot. But it would be a good idea to legalize it and tax the crap out of it toward paying for Obama's healthcare.
