Cannabis Legalization Debate

[Space 2335]

Mog, you have convinced me.

 

I am now boiling then triple distilling then boiling my water :^)

 

Read a book called Brave New World sometime, it deals with the sedation of population thing.

tl;dr

 

Do you need me to teach you how to smoke Mr. I've smoked over 5 times!?

Marijuana is a pain reliever and actually doesn't do much productive for the mind

 

Stopped reading there. If you've never even smoked it, you can't really make a relevant criticism of it.

 

If you had smoked it, you would know it affects the mind just as much as it does the body, particularly Sativa (Indica is the body high species). You realize things you haven't realized before, you can think faster, you're more creative, your mind is like pulsing with energy, and also for me, it lets me "think" in colors, hard to describe.

All coming from one person, while I haven't smoked or injested that drug you seem to like. I was arguing that Marijuana does not cure or treat mental disabilities as "zaezae" claimed. Marijuana is not the dream drug you make it out to be my friend. While, I haven't taken kush myself, looking over the several papers I've had to write on the subject can give me a good clue as to how the drug works. Maybe you do feel all those good things you explained, (I'll never know, because I won't be smoking marijuana anywhere in the near future.) but I ask at what cost? There's obviously a bad side that you've been failing to mention for the most part. You're brother almost died, yes? And that doesn't scare you off one bit from using the drug? Either you're extremely incompetent, or just haven't been thinking things through. I won't sit here and lecture you, but I'd like to get my point across. Legalizing marijuana is not a win win situation.

You can't really use 'several papers i've had to write' as a source.

Mate, you seem to misunderstand and show a basic lack of knowledge about how weed is consumed. The "dirty needle" post was a joke, weed is not injected. It is either inhaled or consumed in other foods. There is literally no bad side aside from some paranoia that doesn't even always happen.

 

Your use of the word "kush" seems to indicate you don't know very much about the plant. Kush is not a blanket term for weed, despite some idiots using it as one. Kush is the Cannabis indica species, and quite different from sativa.

Yes and no, what I mean to say is I've done quite a bit of research on the topic for school.. etc. I don't mean to confuse things.

Doesn't even always happen? I'm sorry my marijuana lingo isn't up to date, and also I apologize for the dumb comment(s) on my part.  I won't debate you on sativa because I really don't know much about it, and I'll admit it. I thought we were talking about indica, the more laxative type weed.I don't like how confident you are in the no negatives of it, but I'll take your word for it. Sorry to blow the cannon off at you, my friend.

Might as well legalize it. It isn't really dangerous, and it has medicinal uses. Besides, if it is legalized, it's just another thing drug cartels will lose money on, because there will be no need to smuggle it in, decreasing illegal activity and violence. Personally, I have no interest in using it.

Just wondering, are you joking? If not, have you ever heard of a brain scan? They have been used to show that those diagnosed with autism have weaker neural activity, compared to someone who is "normal". There has also been research on connections between autism and immune system weakness. I've known some people with extremely heavy autism. Heck, even have a family member who is autistic. He's been in a mental health clinic his whole life. He hasn't said a word to anyone since he was 8, and now he's over 30, if I recall. There's more to it than just a "fake mental problem".

Where are any of your sources for this information? Sounds like a whole lotta hooplah to me.

[DruinsBane 240]

Honestly I'm for legalization of most drugs, not for any deep seeded belief that it has healing properties, but for the fact cartels and other like minded sources make ridiculous sums of money, that contribute to gang war, which include murder, rape, vandalism, extra. And the amount of money lost in prevention of said narcotics is excitedly large sum. Legalization of said narcotics will drive down the business of Cartels, if not remove it entirely. And the money saved and gained from the sale of drugs, in a more safe enviroment will stimulate the economy.

 

In a day and age that I can go down to the local supermarket, throw a hand-sign and have some shady guy in a hoody give me my fix for $20 dollars, I'd rather have my dealer in a more controlled enviroment.

[Heff 2460]

Guis the government wants us all to hit up that OG kush and stuffs so they actually supply the mehicans who den transport them in small boats across the border to shady guys in the streets so that they can sell the OG kush which is actually brainwashing us all.

Tl;dr

Don't do drugs kids

I've got siblings and a ton of friends that regularly smoke and I personally don't really care much whether it's legalized or not - but I've never really felt good about anything being used to stimulate artificial feelings/emotions. If you're actually using medical marijuana for a personal issue, go for it... If it's just for fun, I don't really support it.

 

It's all getting legalized either way, but I don't think it's  a problem that's as everybody makes it out to be though.

[Sneaky 189]

I've just seen to many friends turn into dropouts in college I've seen cousins get disowned from my family. I've seen to many bad examples of any drug in general. I'm just not for it. After all the things I've seen to many bad acciendents involving cannabis.

The emotions and feelings you get from weed aren't artificial. They're more genuine than your normal feelings, since weed tends to remove stress and social barriers.

By removing stress and social barriers thats what makes it artificial, its not real. I just don't support drugs really, I know there's the argument of "it doesn't do bad" but I just don't like 'em. If you want a high get a "natural high" and go do some physical exercise, play a video game, or read a book.
