The only worry potheads seem to have is where their next smoke is coming from..oh yeah..and trying to stop dribbling...and looking for their brains...

i guess that's kinda a generalization of potheads

I see, so you're trying to lump every marijuana user into a singular group of peaceful, unrealistic people?

Do you do the same for alcohol drinkers? Tobacco smokers? Or are you just using your dislike for the drug to be theatrical?

That is not what weed does to you, alcohol is much worse for you.

And totally incoherent...

Smoking weed does not make one need a "fix", it is not addictive like even caffeine is.

Well it looks addictive to me..maybe not chemically addictive..but certainly emotionally...

Not physically addictive, no, but it is psychologically addictive.

Why else do you think so many people spend so much on it every day?

If you dont mind let me ask you a question. Do you smoke? I mean like regular smoking?

I remember my first ciggerette, made me dizzy & light headed, it changed my perceptions, not in a big way, but it was a "high", then over the years it just became a habit & by about 10 I didnt even think about a "buzz" anymore.

Sames true of pot. It used to be an amazing "buzz", but after 30 years it was just like another ciggerette (just more expensive), so why did I keep smoking?

Habit. It is an addiction. Thats my $0.02 worth, from a guy who has probably burned a million dollars worth in his life.

is this an argument to make it illegal? because almost anything can be psychologically addictive.
 
is anyone really going to argue against legalizing it? if so, i'd love to hear why....

No. Being illegal doesnt really serve a purpose in this case imo.

I do think there are more negatives than many realize, especially amongst the young, but the same can be said of a myriad of things so I dont see any purpose in its prohibition but I do think there's a need for a greater understanding of the drug as well.

Its not just the benign high we all think it is when we're young.
 
i can think of worse things than having a bunch of people who just want to sit around and eat coco pebbles all day. there would be less fights, i can tell you that much. would be great for the original music scene, too. stoned people love to hear you jam. that would make my side gig as a bar singer even more fulfilling, and probably a lot safer, too. i've seen some incredibly stupid alcohol / testosterone-infused bull**** happen from stage. i have not ever seen a bunch of hippies fuse into a hurricane of fists and flying chairs, however.

well ja? but whats your point? In order for people like Akin and Murdouch to make such asinine statements they must have been doing crack.

Didn't you know pot is good for the sinuses? Clears them right up!

You have no idea what you're talking about. Have you smoked weed? More than once?

I can get high out of my mind, sleep 4-6 hours, and wake up without a hangover or any other kind of reprecussions. Try that with alcohol.
