Yes we should legalize and TAX the shit out of it.

Pot smokers dont deserve to go to jail, but since they have less of a positive influence on society we counter balance this with taking all their damn money.

Not sure where your getting this from.  In college, a lot of the smartest people I knew smoked pot.  It seemed very popular among physicists.  I think it was because theoretical physics require quite a bit of imagination to figure things out.  It's quite mind-bending to try and understand some of the complex theories in physics.

A lot of smart and successful people drink too, still doesn't make drinking a good or positive thing.

I know smart people who smoke too but when their high and your not you realize how stupid they become.

I will agree with that, but your previous statement claims that all cannibis users are trash, idiots, losers that have nothing to give society. Drug abuse has been a part of mankind throughout history and many people did great things through both drugs. You should not make such absolute statements that suggest people who do drugs be they marijuana or alcohol contribute less to society because that can be easily proven wrong.

I would argue that your putting a lot of words in my mouth, that I did not say buy..

my first post was with the intent to get a rise out of people.  So you got me on that.

Good job! Makes the thread more interesting! Still  you said marijuana users have a less positive influence on society. How can this be proven scientifically?

It's hard to prove that, less hard however to prove that people who use marijuana are less useful to society then they would be if they didn't.  Outisde a very few with usually mild conditions... much like Alchohol and Cigarettes.

It's largely nothing but a drag on potential usefulness, but things should not be judged on how much more or less likely they are going to make an individual to society, but instead of how they are going to effect the person's expierence of life... and even then, such a choice must only be made by that person.

Afterall, videogames are largely nothing but a drag on personal usefulness.  (some hand eye coordination and history teaching aside.)
