Legalizing Weed

T115 · September 10, 2012, 1:25pm

Jesus crowd is getting sad in today’s world. Holding the world from moving forward by old beliefs that no one has seen only heard about. I’m not going to get into that because this topic is about weed. Weed has been around for thousands of years. One of the main reasons it became illegal is because timber and cotton was being replaced by hemp because it is a better material.

It makes me think of this commercial from the 50s or 60s where a guy smokes weed and then goes crazy. They acted like that is the effects of smoking weed. People are good at being told what to do and what to believe. Instead of basing your opinion on facts and real life experiences, people just do what they are told. I should have the right to choose if I can smoke weed or not. The government shouldn’t have that control over me.

No?

You mean all the posts about how good it is has had no effect yet on those who actually make these types of decisions?

That’s a shame…[/quote]

Hey Zeb , you haven’t answered my question. What do we get for the HUGE cost of this war on drugs?[/quote]

Less people taking drugs.

(yawn)[/quote]

how many less ?
[/quote]

Much less than if it were legal. [/quote]

bull shit

According to your faulty logic if Colgate wants to sell more toothpaste they should ask the government to make it illegal. Because you think that any product that is legal, institutionalized and large sums of money spent advertising it will actually sell LESS!

Pittski you suffer from rationalization. YOU like pot so therefore YOU think that it should be legalized. And YOU say stupid shit to back up your desire…and actually believe it.

Fact: When a product (any product) is legal and more readily available it will sell more.

Fact: When a product has an advertising budget it will sell more.

Fact: When a product is legitimized it will sell more.

Try another angle …hey here’s one:

“I really really like pot and want it to be legal”

That would make more sense than your current nonsense!

LOL

All you have to do is disprove the facts that I’ve laid out.

Start with this one:

Why does every American company that has ever succeeded big used advertising as one tool to do it. Now tell us why if pot were legal and it was advertised that there would actually be LESS sold.

Either advertising works or it doesn’t. And if it works then why wouldn’t it work to sell more pot, if pot were legalized?

There is a lot of stupid on this thread and most of it has been lead by you.

Advertising is primarily used for branding much more so than product introduction. There is no need to introduce a product that already has a large market most of the advertising would be branding related.

As well it could be easily restricted like beer and smokes.

Tobacco companies used and still use where its legal the free giveaway as an introductory method which I suppose you could call advertising.

In Zeb’s defense I could see a small up in the use , but imo very negligible . Nothing to the tune of the cost of this silly war

The cost of the “silly war” keeps the costs of more kids using pot down. It also keeps more people in general from using pot.

This in turn keeps medical costs down and the pain of more traffic fatalities down.

It’s always easy to look at something that YOU don’t think is working and make a claim that it would be better if that thing were removed. But you have to ask yourself what the trade off is.

Now get busy and tell me how legitimizing pot increasing it’s availability and advertising it will not cause far more users.

You cannot get beyond this with your silly argument. And fortunately those in power who are making the decisions are aware of those three facts. And they’ve actually have gotten this one right. There will be no legalization of pot in your lifetime bud!

I think we should start a war on Ny Quil , it makes as much sense. I would rather some one drive after smoking up than after taking Ny quil .

I personally have learned to deal with pot being illegal.

If I get caught it will only cost you $30,000 a year to keep me in prison

I’ll be glad to pay for the first year out of my own pocket.

No seriously, if you do go to jail at least you’ll be among friends. You guys can hang out in the prison yard and talk about how unfair the pot laws are. LOL

When I go to prison I will have to learn a new trade, because I will no longer be bondable or even employable in to days market , I think I will study Credit card fraud or maybe burglary may be even armed robbery

you will also have to support my ex wife and my 14 kids plus my present wife and 12 more kids
I hope you don’t go broke on the first year

If you are actually worried about it (and obviously you are not) all you have to do is to give up smoking pot.

Also, you still have to tell me how legitimizing pot increasing it’s availability and advertising it will not cause far more users. Since this is the crux of my argument if you cannot answer these questions then the debate is over.
