So do you anti pot crusaders really think booze is better that pot?

[James D Hill]

Did anyone ever say you said it was the biggest platform?

Yes. Yes is my favorite band ever by the way.

 

[OldWorldOrder]

I was talking to AP but the same thing goes for you. How can you support the double standard. Booze is OK but pot is not. Don't you think that is just a little hypocritical my friend.

#1- If you were talking to AP, why did you quote me?
#2- Who said I supported the double standard?
#3- Why do you make so many assumptions?

 

[OldWorldOrder]

Yes. Yes is my favorite band ever by the way.

I didn't. So why did you direct that towards me?

 

[James D Hill]

It's posts like this that keep me coming back to smack you around a bit...

Do you not deny that Bama is a far right state. They sure seem to vote that way. If I am wrong then I am sorry but I really don't think so.

 

[James D Hill]

I didn't. So why did you direct that towards me?

It was AP. Not you. Do you support legaization of pot and if not why. That is what I want to know.

2010 was the first time since reconstruction that republicans gained control of the general assembly. What might that tell you?

You seem to be so sensitive. I guess I better be more carefull next time. Get over it.

When was the last time AL voted for a dem since the dixicrates started voting GOP? You know as well as I do the evangelicals and social conservatives are powerful there just like every other southern state. Yes some of the black districts vote for dem's but the state is conservative and you know it.

Did you bother to comprehend the post? Our last Dem representative in this district was elected in 2008. Was that so long ago?

 

[James D Hill]

Because it's a stupid question. Your posts are nothing but useless either/or fallacies and distortions of the truth. All you do is hurt your own cause, one post at a time.

You are full of it my friend. Is there a double standard towards pot or not? Is the war on drugs a failure? Where am I not telling the truth? Do drunks slide while pot smokers get fired od get thrown in jail for a drug less harmfull than booze? You know the answer is yes in every case.

Then why is it so hard to get an abortion in AL?

 

[James D Hill]

The reason you don't get a straight answer on this is because your question itself is an invalid spin.

Besides, any comparison of the damage pot does to the damage alcohol does, considering that pot is illegal and usually the subject-focus of the comparison, is simply an argument in favor of making alcohol illegal.

The question itself is simply inane.

You don't look at the damage one thing does and say, "well that thing is legal, let's legalize this or that damaging thing that happens to have no redeeming social value whatsoever".

Pot -- the street drug itself (not medical marijuana or Marinol etc.) -- is rightly looked at all by itself without any comparative calibration.

And when you do examine pot all by itself, it clearly is so unredeemingly damaging and deadly that keeping it illegal is the sober sane thing to do as this thread's OP and supporting posts accurately presented without any rational conjecture: http://www.debatepolitics.com/health-care/135971-pot-kills-w-498-a.html

Pot is not deadly. How many people does it kill? The number is zero my friend. What is this BS about rational conjecture? Pot should be legal and is going to be legal and you know it. Why are you tasking the side of moral crusaders? Did the DARE program brainwash you in school. Legalizing pot is logical and is going to happen. 52% now support it and everyday a teen gets old enough to vote and that number is going up not down.

 

[Thrilla]

I see you live in Texas who has redneck pot laws just like Oklahoma does while booze sales are thru the roof. Hell they just about drink as much as we do on the left coast. Funny thing about southerners. They seem to love pot just fine if only they would admit it.

I live part time in Texas... part time in Vegas.. and part time in Colombia.

no matter where I'm at , there are pot laws...laws I sometimes choose to ignore.
I guess i could roam around whining about those laws and how unfair life is, but i prefer to just do what I do and not worry about anyone else and what they do.

I don't know what sheltered existence you live in on the left coast, but there is no shortage of southerners who smoke weed and drink.. and they admit it freely.

lol YOU QUOTED ME WHEN YOU SAID THAT.

Smoke a bowl, dude, relax.

Cool story, bro. You keep asking the same questions, keep getting the same answers, and keep expecting a different result.

 

[CanadaJohn]

When drinkers get hired and pot heads get fired when they both do the same quality of work that is discrimination. Johns Hopkins did a study and found pot smokers drove way better than drunks. Pot smokers can sober up in an emergency while if you drink a fifth of Wild Turkey you can't. Oh did I mention the fact that booze kills you while pot does not.

Are you serious? Drinkers get hired - by whom? Pot smokers drove better than drunks? I wouldn't want either one driving for me. Booze kills and pot doesn't? Any proof?

Here's an article about the possible cancer risks from smoking pot - you might be interested.

[douglas]

A quick google search yields hundreds of studies on the anti-cancer benefits of cannabis. Cannibinoids are considered anti-oxidants and have health benefits. So, before this debate goes the "It has carcinogens, it must cause cancer" route, here are some sites you should read. Every contemporary medical study of marijuana has shown it to be safe for long-term use.

[Master PO]

That is because drug laws where invented by moral crusaders and those who think they know better for you. They where the same morons who started prohibition whick like the war on drug is a complete failure and inriches criminals. Yea I think those so called insults are 100% right on.

although i do not disagree with you assessment of the drug situation, however insults towards people who have a different point of view then you.

the left claims are to have a lock on compassion, tolerance for others,...... we know they have no such lock

According to the drug abuse policy center

I Googled "Drug Abuse Policy Center", but there's no such thing.

There is a "Drug Policy Alliance", but that's simply a NORML front, as it presents, and thus is simply pot-heads spinning their "Gimme My Drug!" whine in a different tone.

Thus a reference to them is meaningless, obviously.

pot have never killed from overdose or anything else.

Of course pot-heads would say that. :doh

But, according to coroners reports presented in the OP of this thread - http://www.debatepolitics.com/health-care/135971-pot-kills-w-498-a.html - there are indeed deaths from pot overdose, as well as from asphyxiation, cumulative brain damage death, auto accidents, suicides .. and the list goes on .. all validated by law-enforcement agencies, and as accurately prededicted by the valid healthcare professionals referenced in that thread's OP.

It really isn't a matter for rational conjecture.

People might have been shot stealing it

Yep, that also occurs, but it's a teeny tiny percentage of the pot-caused deaths .. and, of course not a valid argument in favor of legalizing damaging, deadly pot.

or not paying their dealer

Again, a teeny tiny percentage of the pot-caused deaths, and, again, not a valid argument in favor of legalizing damaging, deadly pot.

These two examples, are, however, evidence that people do win Darwin Awards.

as a anti drug site that hates pot is not legit.

Erroneous and disconnected.

Not relevant.

I have worked with countless drunks and they do show up hung over and grouchy. They also take Mondays off all the time and they show up to work late when working Saturdays. Drinkers,meth users and coke users all have bad attendance for the most part and they are the ones who pass the drug screen.

Meaningless.

Completely irrelevant.

Talking about alcohol addicts does in no way justify legalizing pot.

 

[James D Hill]

Then they should be tried and convicted the same as if they had a gin mill in the basement.

I make home made wine and grow my own weed. Hey Canada John. I Thought Canadians where liberal and laid back. I did not see very many conservatives when I went up to Vancover last winter. What gives with the redneck talk?

Pot does not kill and even if it did would it match the 550,000 deaths from cigarettes and the 75,000 deaths from booze every year. I have smoked pot since 1976 and have been around some chronic smokers and none of them are dead from smoking pot but I have seem booze,cigarettes,pills,cocaine,herion and overeating kill many including my own grandfather who died from drinking at the age of 60. If you want to spread the lie about pot being deadly and people believing you. Good luck my friend. Did the DARE program brainwash you at an early age or did some Jesus freak lie to you to keep you from trying out the magic spice. Your side is losing. Get used to it my friend and pull your freaking head.

If booze is legal then pot should. High and drunk is the same thing. Why do you hate pot so bad? Have you been brainwashed? You talk like some social conservative for being a moderate. Get off your self righteous high horse and smell the flowers. 52% now support legalization of pot and your opinion is now the monority. Why would you have such a backward and downright stupid opinion about pot? Explain yourself.

 

[Geoist]

It's really rather simple. One is legal while the other is not.

Laws change. Prohibition shows us that. I think the question is: how is pot any worse than alcohol (from a moral/ethical perspective rather than a legal one).

 

[Geoist]

If pot becomes legal in all 50 states and federally will companies still drug test?

I think they definitely will, and thats fine with me.
