I still want to know why weed shouldn\'t be legal. Yes, it\'s bad for your health. Yes, it can kill brain cells. Guess what? Drinking kills your liver. It creates drunk drivers. Smoking creates lung cancer among other things. So, why exactly is weed bad? Because you get "high"? Drinking also changes your perception.

Cotton Industry. Huge blow to them if more people realized how beneficial weed is. They make tons of contributions to lobbyists.

Ooh. I remember that hemp is stronger than cotton, softer than linen and more absorbant than nylon. Ralph Lauren revealed a few years ago that they use hemp in their outer wear products for durability.
Hemp grows in 90 day cycles. And no insect devours it like they do with cotton. It\'s literally weed. Not many insect eat weed.

Don\'t forget pharmaceuticals. They are constantly releasing drugs that try to mimic the effects of marijuana. If people were able to grow their own treatment in their back yard they would lose a lot of money.

Exactly.

i don\'t know...i mean i don\'t think it should be legalized, but at the same time i can see the argument for it..i guess it\'s just that it\'s a nationwide campaign tellin\' our youth not to smoke cigarettes or smoke weed. whereas with alcohol they tell you to drink responsibly ;). i guess the gov\'t would be huge hypocrits if they legalized after tellin so many that it\'s a dangerous drug. I mean i\'ve been told that for so many years, that even tho i won\'t put it up there with cocaine, i still feel it\'s something that i don\'t want my kids doin\'
^^^what i mean by that is of course i don\'t want my kids drinking either, but to see them smokin\' and gettin lifted like that? naw..as crazy as this sounds i\'d rather kick back with my kids when they\'re grown and knock out a beer or two....not smoke weed with them...

So what you are saying is that because alcohol is pretty much the liquid form of mariguana(loosely) It should be legalized?
So then we have double the "drunks" by adding the "highs"?
I think not.
And although I\'m for the use of Mariguana as a medical treatment, if they have to give that up in order to pave way so that it is never legalized, then so be it.

Legalize it. And tax the fuck out of it.
Cops can go after the real criminals instead of wasting tax dollars busting 15 year old Johnny who smokes a blunt in between games of Halo 2.

The liver is the only organ in the body that can regenerate. As long as there is about 25% of it that\'s in good health, dead tissue can be removed and new will grow back to take it\'s place in a surprisingly sort ammont of time. Once brain cells are dead, they don\'t regenerate.
So, if you are a heavy drinker and give up later in life, as long as it\'s not too far gone, the potential for recovery is there.
Brain damage is permanent.

So - what is your excuse for "normal" smoking?
Or drunk drivers?

legalize it and witness your country rise to the level of excellence experienced in Denmark and the Netherlands.

Hellz yeah! It\'s been de-criminalized in Canada. In Alaska, I think they give you a fine. Chizzy knows better than me though, since he used to live there until the Eskimos kicked him out.

They were sick of me always bagging their bitches.

I think it should be legal but who really cares? It\'s so easy to get.

i completely disagree.
I\'ve seen more porblems happen because of alcohol. People get drunk and do stupid things, fight and become dnagerous people under the influence of alcohol.
Not once in my entire life have I ever seen anyone become violent do to mj intoxication.
Also Alcohol kills more braincells then mj, and there have been studies done in other Coutnries that have documented a slight increase in intelligence with moderate mj use over a 10 year period. Very slight, but it still debunks the myth that mj makes ya stupid.
Personally I do not like Alcohol. If I drink enough to catch a buzz i become and I don\'t fell well for the next day or 2 which means my production at work falls. With mj I feel just fine the next day, never have a hangover, and never witness any of the ill effects that most peopel suffer from when consuming alcohol.
mj is a plant that grows wild, has many industrial, medicianl, and recreational properties. It has been used for centuries by almost every culture. The government IMO has absolutly no business is declaring mj an illegal substance.
But lets face it. America has become a lame ass country, and the powers that be are more interested in control of its citizens and capitialistic ideologies then basic freedoms

"Not once in my entire life have I ever seen anyone become violent do to mj intoxication."
the same can be said of mj...when i drink i\'m more of a comedian, but that argument can go either way...and that thing about brain cells? let\'s just say that both of \'em kills \'em...sayin one does slightly less damage doesn\'t help the argument...the fact is is that whether you\'re high or drunk you can still get in a serious or fatal car accident....
"Personally I do not like Alcohol. If I drink enough to catch a buzz i become and I don\'t fell well for the next day or 2 which means my production at work falls.

typical response of a drug head..."with weed i feel just fine the next day" :rolleyes:...j/k ;)...but you not liking alcohol just shows how you would automatically favor mj. of course there are people that might not like either (mj or alcohol)..but in this instance that\'s what it seems like to me....but i can i respectfully agree to disagree with you as ultimately as i\'ve stated before, i can see the points in both arguments....

Potheads don\'t get violent. It mellows people out. Drinking can make you violent tho\'. Either way, either ban \'em both or legalize them both.
Doesn\'t matter to me, I do neither.

hmmm, i\'d still have to say i\'ve seen both...to be honest tho i\'ve actually seen more people become violent due to the "courage juice". hard to say tho... i think if the gov\'t can figure out a way to make money offa mj, but in some type of moral way, i think they\'ll do it. my thing is is that what happens to that message of tellin\' kids not to smoke and such? you see how hard the gov\'t is on the tobacco co. and all of those "truth" ads?...i can only imagine what would happen if mj was legalized...
meh but like you stated this doesn\'t matter to me either, as i don\'t smoke...and the only time i really drink is if i\'m out at the club...
-
Those truth ads are nothing more than a facade, so that the general public think that\'s the Goverment cares about your health. They don\'t. Bottom line, they care about the dollar and they have not figured out how to make weed profitable yet.

They know how to make weed profitable. They just don\'t have a reason to. Especially when big tobacco, and the cotton/pharmaceutical lobbies make it profitable to maintain the status quo.

True \'nuff.

You know whats funny.
You pot heads can bitch about this all you want but in reality...
WEED WILL NEVER BE LEGALIZED!
Ever.
Put that on a TRUTH commercial.
-
Yes it will.
It already is for medical reasons in a lot of states, and they have very loose guidelines.
