Sitting around being stoned is not my idea of a life.Having said that, we can't always protect people from themselves--that's being a Nanny State. Some do become dependent on it, but the vast majority of people use it briefly in high school or college and then walk away from it, or use it once in a blue moon. From what I've heard, heavy alcohol or cocaine use depletes dopamine levels in the brain--i.e. you have less ability to experience pleasure without use those drugs. Much more addictive.
I give my kids a sip of wine during Christmas for a toast (although they usually leave it, as they don't like it), but I would not give them a joint, or a snort or needle... And you do this because you are controlling their dosage. You wouldn't give them an entire bottle. Point made. A snort of coke or 1 puff of marijuana would be equivalent to a bottle of wine. They would feel the effects. What you give them does not make them feel the effects and you need to modify your statement to compare the two apples to apples. Alot of this goes to muddying the message to kids... if you can smoke pot, why not the others?... Same muddied message as alcohol. if they were "wrong" about pot, maybe they are "wrong" about all the others... You wouldn't have to position the legalization of marijuana as being "wrong" about it. Do you think that how they positioned alcohol when they ended prohibition? Exactly my point... longer holding of smoke in your lungs, the more absortion of the carcinogen whether hot or not... when you heat something up it expands (capillaries)...Will you please tell me how the equivalent of smoking 2.5 to 5 cigarettes a day (due to holding it in) will quickly kill someone? Maybe we do a don't hold it in and smoke it like a cigarette campaign Anyways 2.5 to 5 cigarettes a day would be considered an EXTREMELY light smoker."It sends the exact same message that a kid gets when you drink a beer."Then there should be no problem with doing cocaine and other drugs in front of kids...Doing something deemed as not physically addictive and not seriously damaging to your health is much different than shooting up around your kids. You can't even compare the two. But you're trying to."Have you ever met a serious pothead?"Abosolutely... and IMHO, a great example of WHY it should remain illegal...So you think that it being illegal will stop people from doing it. Interesting."Live a little, will ya?"Because I don't do drugs, I'm not living a little... rolleyes I do... but I don't need drugs to live a little... life has SO MANY other ways to enjoy it that are MUCH more fulfilling... but to each his own... as long as it legal... biggrinI should have said, let others live a little. Victimless crimes are absolutely ridiculous. If someone wants to do something to their own body they should be able to do so as long as others are not being harmed. I just happen to be a criminal once and a while when I don't feel like putting my seat belt on. I'm such a bad person for that. How about those people who can't get laid for some reason or another and they want a prostitute? Why should they not be able to give themselves a disease if they want to not wear protection. And what is wrong with the way Nevada and Canada does is, prostitutes must have regular health checkups.The government needs to back the F**K up and get out of peoples lives. Not a single one of us were put on this earth by God to be controlled by a small group of very powerful individuals. I know that is not what God had in mind for me.
u just a hater mi boi obama knowz wuts he doin and yur just jelous dat he guna gimme paycheks in duh mail. mabe u can get sum 2 if you ask. (typical obamalite)seriously though, is that how many there are now?!
Just last night, I was with 2 of my friends and we were sitting around a camp fire, and we had weed. My friends got it very very very easily. Were not experts at sneaking around the cops either, it was so so so easy to get, and could get MUCH MUCH MUCH more RIGHT NOW if we wanted too, from more than one dealer.
Of course, I dont get into this stuff because it does "demotivate" you. However, if I decide to smoke weed, I dont think its worth everybody spending their money on if I want to ruin my life. Its my choice.
Are you kidding me? Is this how you perceive supporters of Obama? Unbelievable!!!!!!!
And how do you know this? Your blanket statement is utterly ridiculous..
