"Legalize Marijauana"

Are you aware that when viewing a baseball game a foul ball might hit you in the head and kill you? I'm sure not everyone realizes it when they go to their first game. Should baseball games be outlawed for the ignorant?

Random Thugs = The Government

Why am I calling them thugs? Because if you violate something on their big list of acceptable behavior, they have ways of forcing you to stop. This can be through economic pressure, imprisonment, etc.

Let's say I'm laying underneath a tree, minding my own buisness. Suddenly, it begins to rain. There is a bigger risk of being hurt by lightning when by a tree. The best thing I could do to avoid getting struck by lightning is to move. But it's really nice and refreshing so I decide to stay there through the rainstorm.

Then the Government thugs walk by. They see the risk, and tell me to return to my home. After all, it's for my own good. I refuse. The thugs then proceed to lock me in their basement for a set period of time.

Was that moral?

 

are you serious right now? the numbers make all the difference!
OBVIOUSLY theres a very small number of people that die from hear attacks caused by exercising. now double that number and that's what you get for cannabis related heart attack cases.
i can't believe i need to clarify this much...

 

Holyfuck, show me the number of people that die from heart attacks due to exercising? Why do you figure it's small?

I actually wouldn't think that it is small.

God damn.


I'm going to bed, I'll get back to this tomorrow.

 

Of course, considering the fact that a lot of things produce smoke. Smoking marijuana does put smoke into your system(lungs), though, am I right?

EDIT:

Ever heard of a Fantasy-Schizo?

There probably aren't many pages or caches you can find on Google, but I read a book about it. Regular Schizophrenia fucks with your perception of reality, among other things. Basically, Fantasy-Schizo takes what you perceive as "fantasy", (the concept", and applies it to the symptoms of Schizophrenia.

I've spoken to one person who's case this was. It's badass for her.

Just saying.

 

your kidding...read this for gods sake

im out of here, never to return. i can't believe you...how do you take yourself seriously?

 

I'll be honest with you, I don't want to live to be 100. I'd rather have fun while I'm young, enjoy life, and die a little bit earlier. Seems like a good trade to me, considering it seems like most old people are suffering once they get past a certain point anyways. I wouldn't want to live like that, I know that much.

And that is assuming everything you listed is true. People are arguing that the tests aren't valid and stuff like that, but if they are, there you go. I've stopped smoking, barely ever did it in the first place, but I personally don't see anything wrong with it.

How can you get mad over people doing things to themselves? It's not affecting you in any way. Sure, maybe you had something going on in real life, maybe a friend/family member smoking marijuana that has affected you, but how does insulting every single person who smokes marijuana make that better.

I just don't see your reason for posting this. There are so many more dangerous / more harmful things that you could have posted about.

 

I'm fine with people having fun while their young, I just do it in, different ways I guess.

What this is about it how people post and honestly thing that it should be legalized, which I think isn't right.

 

Why? Like Tyro said, it'd minimize gang activity and stuff, and then it'd also open up some more space in prisons for people who are actually guilty of serious crimes such as murder/rape/etc. What I'm trying to say is there are far worse things people could be doing than smoking weed.

 

Let's stick to marijuana, some drugs are a little too strong to even consider, but anyway.

The stereotype of people sitting in their house with friends smoking weed isn't always true (obviously), so I believe this would cause in increase in other things, car accidents, fights, injuries while high, things of that nature.

 

Lol is this guy trolling or is he for real?

 

I agree with Charlieb on some points. Like if someone wants to do harmful shit to their body, so be it. Just don't go to a hospital and demand treatment afterwards; it's bullshit.
I also agree that it shouldn't be legalized, it should be decriminalized. By that I mean:
1) Letting someone grow in their own home.
2) Being able smoke it in public (restricting windows and places where children play) and in or around their own home.
Plus, there are much more efficient and healthier ways to ingest marijuana, without smoking it. They are: baking it, vaporizing it, or making tea with it.
I having been using marijuana for many months now (whether it be smoking it or not) and have not found any negative side effects to it. (The paranoia part is annoying, but I'm a paranoid guy in nature). The long-term effects listed on your post are shown in a minority of users. And it is mostly determined by the strength of the bud, and the sensitivity of the user.

Decriminalize it folks.

 

If you did this then you would have to break out every marijuana drug offender in prisons, so no.

 

Ok I assume you are serious, so let me begin:

First I want to start off with saying that you are a complete dumbass, and now I'm going to dismantle every single one of your arguments and show you how stupid you are:

Oh really? You do realize that coffee gets you high? Yes, we are so used to coffee, that we don't even categorize it with other drugs and don't even consider a drug, but it is. Medically, coffee gets you high, and one 12 oz Starbucks coffee will officially make you intoxicated with caffeine. Oh yeah, and don't forget about tobacco, nutmeg, and making yourself pass out by breathing really fast and standing up, as all those things get you high.

Lol.

Tobacco: 435,000
Marijuana: 0

According to a CNN article, the chances of getting testicular cancer are about 0.3%. So multiply that by 2 and, OMFG I HAVE A 0.6% CHANCE OF GETTING FUCKING TC IM NOT SMOKEN WEED NEMORE OMFG TY FOR TELLING ME NOW I GET TO KEEP MY BALLS OMG.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/09/health.pot.cancer/index.html

God fucking dammit, you only experience these symptoms if you are a CHRONIC SMOKER. If you do anything CHRONICALLY you will experience negative symptoms. Chronic eating will get you fat and increase heart attack, lets ban food! No just fucking don't eat as much and you won't experience those symptoms.

So? A number of studies show that if I do anything too much that I will have problems. If I eat too much I'll die too, so lets ban food yay! No dumbass, the moral of this story is to do it in moderation.

You idiot, you forgot to mention in your biased report the rate of these side effects. It's fucking MINUTE. Barely anyone experiences these symptoms. To experience these symptoms you have to either be the unlucky person born with a strange reaction to thc, or smoke every day for 7 years. I've met people who have been chronic smokers for long periods of time, and yes they are fucked up and they seemed to blame it on weed except their own abuse of it. I smoke moderately, I'm in college, and I know hundreds of people who smoke and I have yet to meet a person that is negatively effected by smoking weed.

Once again you dumb fucking asshole didn't even mention the RATE at which this happens.

http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/129/marijuanarisk.shtml

OMFG A 0.2% CHANCE OF A HEART ATTACK OMG DANGER DANGER.

Point is, the media fucking corrupted and rotted your fucking brain. You're not alone though, as many dumb fuckers think the way you do. All this hype about weed gives people a bad image of it and then they start making shit up and being biased when researching about it. Weed is the least harmful out of all the drugs, and no shit doing it a lot will fuck with you.

 

Heh.

Op is an idiot. How about popping into the IRC for a chat Charlieb1212, I smoke every day, currently running for an IT scholarship, own my own business and have made dynamic PHP based sites for multiple clients.

Hop on the stickam, I'll show you my school 2009 Opens Athletics Champion trophy. I smoked on the night before I won the races at the carnival, and the night after I received the award in front of the school.

OP, as you grow older and mature, you'll (hopefully) break free from this propaganda fueled ignorance bubble you surround yourself with, like too many others.


-.-

 

The amount of times I've seen a topic like this is countless. I seriously don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

It's clear there's going to be those who don't smoke weed rant against you, and tell you it's bad. On the other hand there's going to be the weed-lovers who will argue against the haters on how good it is, and how it helps you relax.

Due to personal experience, the negative effects of weed much outweights the positive effects of it.

 

Hey dumb ass, watch this documentary;
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9077214414651731007&ei=LwNASvCaBJOEqQO-_eSWBQ&q=The+Union


What you don't understand though is the fact that if it was legalized from the start, we most likely wouldn't be going through global warming. Could use the hemp as bio fuel. We would have more trees because we would be using hemp for paper, meaning realising more oxygen into the atmosphere.
Watching the documentary again was great.
I forgot how they tested to see if marijuana killed brain cells.
By pumping nothing but marijuana smoke into monkeys faces without any oxygen 5 minutes a day.
You lose braincells if you go about 4 minutes without oxygen.
It's honestly an amazing documentary.

 

Can't legalize anything that gets you high. Then why is alcohol legal? It gets you drunk (although being drunk and high are totally different things, but they both are mind altering drugs)

Show me one source that cites one death from marijuana.

All these studies states it "MAY" or "MIGHT" but never a case has been reported of testicular cancer from consuming marijuana.

All of these effects has been scientifically proven to be wrong. Never ever a case of these bs effects has been reported. By the way, sex while high is the best how can you say it diminish sexual pleasure?

Marijuana is being prescribed to some patients with depression in the US and Canada. What does that means? All of what you wrote is invalid and has been scientifically proven to be invalid.

It was estimated but was never true. Then running half a mile means also you could have a heart attack. Stop exercising and working out then.

I don't know who should use common sense here?
