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.

Couldn't agree more. Though I am for the legalizing of all drugs, with more serious ones being regulated at special places as needed. We all make choices that are seen as "disruptive" when viewed vs the collective, but unless they directly harm others they are exactly that. Our choices. It's nobodies buisness to judge them or try and limit them.

I have long thought about the legalization of all drugs and I do believe it is a person's righjt to do what they want with their own body. I don't believe that over drug use would rise because people recognize and are usually well educated on how bad drugs really be. I know there is currently large meth abuse even though there is a large campaign against the drug, but the propaganda does work. Currently MJ use is on the rise the highest it has been since 1984. At the same time alcohol and ciggerete usage is droppin g. Why? Because government propaganda has done a good job on educating the public on the dangers of these drugs. Marijuana use is on the rise thanks to the medical marijuana increase and people are realizing it is safer than alcohol.
I admit I had to walk away from this issue as I was drinking last night.
