| oldschoolfool said: I know there's a marijuana thread,but I wanted to debate this specific topic. If the mods close this thread,then I'll understand. So,why should marijuana be legal. There's no real benifit 2 it at all. All it does is make you a lazy unproductive member of society. What good does that do to be high all the time and do nothing in life,but live for that high. Anybody that wants to use it for medical purposes is just using that as an excuse to get high. according to my reading,the drug produces anxiety,fear,distrust and panic. It also affects your posture,coordination and reaction time. It can also cause dellusions and hallucinations. it can also increase heart rate and cause sleep impairment. How does all that give you these magical medical benefits. I just don't understand what's so great about this so-called magical drug. For the record,I don't understand the point of booze and tobacco,but those things are legal. Why make just another bad thing for you,legal. It benifits no one. If I had my way,booze and tobacco would be outlawed. There's no benefit in any of these things. |
Well I think your post is based on personal opinions and readings based on no scientific study. That it makes you lazy, sure, do you also know some of the most successful people on the planet have admited to having smoked weed at some point on their life, even on a daily basis, President Obama is one example. No benefit to society, from 2010-2011 close to 70million people die in mexico alone because of the drug war, did you know having weed illegal accounts for about 40% of the cartels paychecks. No medical benefit, the Medical and scientific associations of America would like to disagree. Do you at least know of all the products that can be made trough hemp and how it would help to reduce pollution? I would recommend you add a book called The Emperor Wears No Clothes to your reading if you would like to find out more. Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin also used to smoke weed, i guess you consider them lazy unproductive members of society too. "Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see." - Thomas Jefferson.
