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.

Weed doesn't actually make you think any deeper or imaginitive, it just makes you think dumb ideas are smart... try having a philosphy major have a conversation with a bunch of stoners and you'll see what i mean.

I would beg to differ one of the smartest guys I know studys physics and he is is a huge pot head. If you expect a better arguement from a person that is under the influence that is foolish. Give these stoned dudes a chance to speak logically when sober and they could match a philosphy major as best as a non-philosphy major can

When did I say they couldn't?
|
Alright so I am at peace, but no smart man would say a person under the influence of any drug would be able to stand up in an intelligent conversation to a sober man. I just took your statement as suggesting some how that would be the case.
|
Yep, that's exactly what I was saying. I was argueing against Whatever's suggestion that somehow weed makes you good at phyisics.
If anyone really did perform better under the use of a drug like Marijuana, there issues aren't thinking related but anxiety related or concentration related, which is another reason why it's important for it to be legal... because while useful in some situations, self medication is a DANGEROUS game.
I've had paranoid friends who've gone off the deep end becase of their self medication.

I have had friends do the same. I will leave this for now by saying that I have seen more people hurt by alcohol, yet it remains legal. So I know you agree for different reasons that marijuana should be legalized. I just care about the issue so much because of the thousands of people that go to jail for MJ use and it is wrong. Tax dollars are wasted and imprisoning people helps no one. PEACE.
