    Ha.


    But medical marijuana legalization is on the rise. Soon you can go get it yourself if you have it prescribed because of health problems. Oh and one of those health problems includes the absence of hunger and the loss of the ability to want to eat food.

    not sure if anyone posted about this but a REAL life experiment in the decriminalization of ALL drugs was Portugal. they did this about 10 years ago, and have found a drastic decrease in drug use/abuse and drug related problems (like OD, suicide, violent crime, gang crime etc).

    They have something called a dissuasion committee which basically exists to dissuade you from using drugs, if you are caught with drugs. It is a very interesting system and one worth looking into for anyone who might be on the wall as to the effectiveness of decriminalization. The government of Portugal unanimously agrees that it is effective at reducing use/abuse/crime related to drugs.

    See, that's something I wish the US would try. I mean..it'd probably be chaos at first, but I think in the long-run it could be beneficial.

    I don't think we'll ever see it. The government is too efficient at covering up the truth.

    Fact: Marijuana impairs judgement.

    Fact: Marijuana has killed people because of this.

    Fact: Smoking just a single joint is the equivalent of smoking six cigarettes, making it six times as addictive and six times as harmful to your lungs.

    Excuse me for being an "ignorant idiot," but I don't really care to have a bunch of high potheads running around like they're on loopy pills. No thanks. Keep it illegal.

    Let's all use some common sense for once in your life. Any person with half a brain wouldn't want to do that kind of damage to their body.

    Please. Stop. Your ignorance is making me laugh too much.

    I suspect I could die [from laughing] if I had smoked a blunt and read your comment.

    News flash:

    Just because people don't share the same opinion as you, it doesn't mean we aren't "using our heads."

    well if you can get it anytime you want, then you can easily use it multiple times. thats like saying i can buy advil, and 1 touch will kill me. no, im saying after a while, ,it will. but then again we all die. would u rather die with a joint in hand, or a cane?

    I presume that you are a well educated person, and that your arguments could be just as good as mine, but let me repeat myself: Smoking kills. That is a solid fact. Maybe you didn't learn that in elementary school. Maybe you missed that.

    I..didn't quite follow what you were trying to say. But yes, we all die at one point in time. But the world ends in 2012 so I don't have to worry much.

    [yes, that was a joke]

    Yes, smoking kills. But one basic thought that I've come to like is: In today's day & age, what doesn't kill you?

    Its been reported that the use of cell phones may cause brain tumors/reduce sperm count, is that going to stop you from using your cell?
