Haven't had a toke in many years and never did drink much, but personal
experience and observations of others in varying altered states brought me to
the conclusion that pot should be legal and alcohol a controlled substance. I've
seen a lot more destruction to lives and property caused by drinking.

absolutely agree also...I get really angry when I hear these old douche bags
talking about how evil pot is and of course they have never smoked it...so how
can they be so sure???

Well I have smoked pot before and I found one huge thing wrong with it. It is
illegal.

If you ever smoked my bet is you knew it was illegal BEFORE you did so. With
that in mind what exactly IS your point ?
1. You CAN'T overdose or die from weed.
2. Smoking weed rarely leads to violent confrontations with anything but
possibly a massive raid on the fridge.
3. I've never seen anyone so stoned that they would be capable of running over
and killing someone and never even know it.
Funny though that the perfectly legal use of alcohol can lead to death by
multiple causes : alcohol poisoning, psorosis (<-?) of the liver, ulcers,
driving under the influence, fights/confrontations while hammered.
Don't really give a fuck if it's legal or not. Some laws just make no sense and
the ones surrounding marijuana are fine examples of that concept.
One medical researchers findings I once read related that if alcohol were a
recent discovery it would never be legalized due to all the physical and
psychological side effects that can arise from its use/abuse. I agree

it's illegal to pass on the right too, but people do it all the time...
Just because
something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong!!!
lol I just thought of that...think I'll put it on bumper stickers and
t-shirts...

it is illegal because it is too easy to grow it yourself
there is no way that anyone would be able to capitalise off of it
remember, these bourgeois economic goverments want to commodify everything and
gain capital off of every transaction
i certainly don't condone the use of marijuana by just anyone... i use the shit
myself to help me with stress mainly, rarely ever use it for recreation(i have
no friends lol)
but it is a hell of a lot safer than drinking
all drugs should be legal, and awareness(true awareness, instead of propaganda)
of the dangers and rehab should be available to all people

Ah hell man, it could legalized, regulated and taxed pretty easily with
individual cultivation regulations being very similar to how home made alcohol
is currently.
'Sides, a helluva lot of folks would rather just buy it anyway rather then go
through the (little) trouble it takes to grow it. Think about all the folks
livin in apartments, row houses and townhouses who wouldn't have anywhere to
grow it anyway
But ... I don't see it happenin anytime soon anyway .... Hi Ho ;(

My point was pretty clear, I thought. The only thing wrong with it is that it
is illegal. What about the health issues as related to smoking cigarettes?
Anything that burns has the same by products as cigarette smoke. Only with pot
the second hand smoke would be much more fun.

true dude, but would you really want to smoke that shit if it were regulated...
grown by big-marijuana companies? all of the shit they would add to it like w/
tobacco? i think not! and most people would agree... and w/ it being easier to
grow than friggin' tomatoes, a lot of people would be growing it - trust me
as far as living in town houses and apartments, shit dude, most of the finest
crops i've smoked came from that - closet growers(lol there is a pun there)
it is all about capital - trust me... you know how many drug dealers would be
royally peaved if green were to be legalized... don't think for a second that
the powers that be actually want drug use to stop... it helps keep this twisted
economy alive - the black market does, the "war on drugs"(just like
the rest of these "wars"
is really
the war on the working
class...
jgoins, point takin', loud and clear... hahaha
hey did any of yall see the family guy spoofing the propaganda ad where the
stoner chick was deflated (meg) and then stui got a contact high and got
deflated as well?
kinda points out the ludicrousy(spelling?) of these ads...
and of course there is "reefer madness"(1936) some of yall younger
cats may not have seen... smoke a bowl and watch that ridiculous shit lol is
great for a laugh
oh yeah, almost forgot:

I can't understand it when non smokers of cigarettes will still smoke pot.
Smoke is smoke and the same things are in it no mater where the smoke comes
from. Even the smoke of bbq grills.

jgoins, buddy, what have
you been smokin'? I've never been a cigarette
smoker, tried it and thought it sucked, but was once a moderate pot smoker
because there was
definitely something different in the pot. I have no
problem with people who smoke one or the other or both, but there is a benefit
to the pot that I just didn't see in the cigarettes besides the nastiness they
both impart to ones lungs. Someone who smokes both is just cloggin' the pipes
that much faster, but probably in a better mood.

Well I don't smoke pot just cigarettes. I have smoked since I was 14 some 40
odd years. So far cigarettes are stil legal so I will continue to smoke because
i enjoy it and it keeps me away from the doctor. I quit smoking for about 2
years and I was seeing the doctor 3 to 4 times a month. I started back to
smoking and haven't seen a doctor in over 6 years. The same goes for my wife,
neither of us have seen a doctor in over 6 years. If pot were legal and cheap
enough we would give up cigarettes and just smoke pot. It might not be any
better but we just wouldn't care.
