More on the War on Drugs

@SM you will have to leave the discussion , I have been at this for over 40 years , I will not likely quit because of you :slight_smile:

The reason drugs are still kept illegal has to do with the immense profit margin. The rest is just a side show.

on a lighter note :slight_smile:

only in america

CATO , very impressive :slight_smile:

funny shit , I see where you get your dis info . One question did Michael Savage pick out your name ? :slight_smile: that is funny

Marijuana is the most dangerous drug :slight_smile: He should look at sugar and then again in the mirror

Anyone who thinks that Marijuana should be illegal but has no problem with alcohol being legal is a hypocrite. Steroids too, for that matter. There is no reason why people should be going to jail or being convicted of life altering ā€œcrimesā€ for either of those two substances. It’s nanny stateism at it’s finest. Both can be obtained legally with a ā€œprescriptionā€ in some states. In the case of pot, TENS OF MILLIONS of people smoke, illegally, every day, in the privacy of their homes with out harming a soul. It’s bullshit politics from a bygone era of fear and ignorance.

Did we learn NOTHING from prohibition? When there is a critical mass of people who demand a product, making it illegal only serves to drive up the price of the supply, put money in the hands of criminals (who do OTHER things besides sell pot) and costs the state money to incarcerate the ā€œoffendersā€ of said bullshit law. Not to mention wrecking their lives, lifestyles, children’s future and livelihood with bullshit criminal convictions for a ā€œcrimeā€ that didn’t hurt anyone.

It’s fucking stupid. But so are most politicians and most of the sheeple who vote for them.

And for the record, I DON’T smoke weed. I haven’t in years. I get drug tested for my job and I won’t jeopardize that. But I’ve been around plenty of people who do. Imagine the horror of a few people sitting in a living room passing a joint. And laughing. For FUCKS SAKE, we CAN’T have THAT!!!

LOCK 'EM UP!!!

In most things, so am I. I just don’t feel the need to micro manage and control people’s private lives. In my opinion, if you are in your own home and you aren’t hurting anyone, you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want. Many ā€œconservativesā€ for whatever reason (religious mostly) feel the need to ā€œlimit the sinā€ and tell people how they ā€œshouldā€ live. That sounds pretty fucking liberal to me… But whatever. Hypocrisy is everywhere.

in my opinion the root of the word ā€œconservativeā€ is to conserve fiscal assets .
The war on drugs has been a fiscal black hole

Alcohol causes tens of thousands of deaths each year. The only reason it’s not illegal is because it’s so deeply ingrained in society. To say that pot should be legal because alcohol is legal is like saying I’ve got a broken arm so I might as well break my leg too.

Terrible comparison. Marijuana has never caused a death or anything close.

You’re an idiot. Smoking marijuana causes cancer. Cannabis has all the same carcinogens that tobacco has and in much higher levels.

You are a fucking moron.

All studies show they may be a risk and then state that other studies show that it does not. They also mention that those who smoke marijuana may also mix it with tobacco, smoke cigarettes, and/or drink alcohol so, it can not be blamed on the marijuana. Never mind that the studies are for SMOKING. What about edibles, oil, vapor, tinctures?

If marijuana contains all the same carcinogens as tobacco then you’d have to believe that tobacco smoking does not cause cancer in order to believe that marijuana smoking does not.

But you didn’t mention edibles, oil, vapours or tinctures did you idiot? You said marijuana has never caused a death or anything like it didn’t you idiot?
