I hope so. We are wasting way too much money on the Mexican border dealing with this drug when it clearly is no worse than alcohol.Always makes me wonder if weed will ever be accepted in our society like alcohol is?
I hope not.I hope so. We are wasting way too much money on the Mexican border dealing with this drug when it clearly is no worse than alcohol.
Prohibition tends to cause more problems than it is worth.I hope not.
We need to move away from "social norms" like weed, alcohol, abuse of prescription drugs, etc.
These things tend to cause people more problems than they are worth, from my experience.
I don't recall this thread being about prohibition.Prohibition tends to cause more problems than it is worth.
Doesn't make my statement any less true.I don't recall this thread being about prohibition.
I recall the topic was "social norm".
Ahhh. Does that change your answer? I was thinking it more along the lines of prohibition.I don't recall this thread being about prohibition.
I recall the topic was "social norm".
What is degenerate about weed?It's shameful that we are accepting drug use as social norm. Thus proves that our society is degenerating. Keep it illegal and discourage it, not encourage and paint weed as "normal."
It already is.Always makes me wonder if weed will ever be accepted in our society like alcohol is?
Essentially the same things which are degenerate about smoking, drinking, whimsical tattoos, cutting class, etc: The behavior isn't justified with a viable use.What is degenerate about weed?
The same thing that's degenerate about other drugs that so many people use, like caffeine. Nothing.What is degenerate about weed?
That's the great thing about America: it is not up to you to decide this for me.Essentially the same things which are degenerate about smoking, drinking, whimsical tattoos, cutting class, etc: The behavior isn't justified with a viable use.
Right on. I think it is because certain conservatives don't feel it is moral to alter your brain function and perception with mind altering substances. They want to push that morality that they define on us. They can go **** themselves.The same thing that's degenerate about other drugs that so many people use, like caffeine. Nothing.
Some folks are just more uppity about their chosen drugs.![]()
Sounds like you have a few tats?That's the great thing about America: it is not up to you to decide this for me.
No, I will never ever get a tat. Or wear an earring or other piercings. I am wearing God's skin, man. But I will smoke a big ole blunt in his honor.Sounds like you have a few tats?
I'm inclined to agree with the general sentiment, but I wonder if adopting a harm reduction model might not be more effective.It's shameful that we are accepting drug use as social norm. Thus proves that our society is degenerating. Keep it illegal and discourage it, not encourage and paint weed as "normal."
Ahh there it is.No, I will never ever get a tat. Or wear an earring or other piercings. I am wearing God's skin, man. But I will smoke a big ole blunt in his honor.
The results of the study do not surprise me. However, in my case I have no other "deviant" behaviors other than smoking cigarettes. I don't drink. I am overweight. I just like to get high. It's wonderful.Ahh there it is.
There was a famous study don a few years back by a professor who had tattoos. He wanted to prove that the stereotype of folks with tattoos, who binge drink, smoke pot, etc, was false.
Much to his surprise, his own research validated the stereotype. Various "deviant" behaviors are associated with each-other by a common personality type which seeks them out.
So you're right, I don't get to decide these things for you, but you don't get to decide these things for you either. There are predictable behavioral trends and this is one of them.
