I've never seen a mind-fucked alchoholic. Any of my friends that smoke pot regularly for a few years are already a lot slower than they used to be. Alcohol isnt much better than weed, but atleast with alcohol you cant really drink yourself stupid.

[QUOTE=sleepy2lazy].....easier to control, and easier to make certain that its safer. [QUOTE]


Not entirely true, I'd say. I would say comparing when I have drank to when I have smoked, I have less control when I drink. I have only blacked out once drinking, but I still have much less control, and don't know as much of what I am doing. When I smoke, I always know exactly what I am doing and have never forgotten what I did while I was high.

For example, driving. You should never drive under the influence of either, but when you have to, its much safer to drive high than drunk. When you are high you are more alert and you are more focused. When you are drunk you are swerving and just all out retarded. So I don't really agree with this statement.

and easier to make certain that its safer.

How do you figure?? I know of at least half a dozen kids from my college that had to go to the hospital, or that died from alcohol poisoning last year alone. How is that any safer than pot?

The dangerous thing about pot isn't the drug, but the black market behind it. 99% of the problems with weed would go away if they sold it at liquor stores to people over 21, and had the same rules as far as DUI and whatnot. That gets rid of the drug trafficking across borders, gets rid of drug dealers, etc.

That's the ticket! Let's lower the crime rate by making all the illegal things legal!

Where did I say anything about making all illegal things legal? I said pot should be sold like alcohol. How would it be any worse, seriously, I really want to know how.

[HaredX]

Blue is exactly right. Does anyone recall prohibition? When they made alcohol illegal the mafia started bringing it in illegally which caused the crime rate to sky rocket because they were killing off anyone that got in their way, then when it became legal again it cut out the black market and crime rate plummeted. Not only is it more safe to drive under the influence of pot, you can't overdose from pot like you can from alcohol so why should pot be any more illegal than alcohol? It shouldn't. The government could sell marijuana, tax the hell out of it and raise money for anything we need instead of spending BILLIONS of dollars trying to prevent it.

While we're at it, let's adopt Colombia as our 51st state to really bank on the deal!

And why spend money on getting therapy for rape victims and prosecuting their offenders, let's legalise that too. They got my vote! I'm telling ya, the answer is to just make illegal things legal, and we're set.

Let's try this one more time, I didn't say lets legalize everything. I said lets treat pot like alcohol, with rules for consumption and sales. Please point out some reasons why we should not.

And this time, try not to say "Yeah, lets legalize everything OMGWTFBBQ!!!11!" because that argument really doesn't get to far.

[HaredX]

Don't even try Blue, everyone here is so stuck on being right about everything that they put words into everyone's mouths to better their argument. They took me saying that I smoke pot and have 2 successful jobs as me saying that everyone should smoke and love drugs

[A//// Guy]

If you legalize pot then people will only turn to something else that is the "cool" thing to do... like meth.

Mexico just adopted a whole crapload of drugs as being legal over there... so take a road trip ;)

And I still think smoking is wrong and wont open up to it being a "good thing."
