Obama Legalizing Weed?

[Willieh]

Such a reason is far too personal for you to hear' date=' and is not at your liberty. But what is, is that I did start hating and shunning it from my life FAR before I knew it was illegal.

[/quote']

 

I can't think of anything that could make you hate it that much. Aside from maybe a murder caused over a bad deal or something.

 

But that would be because of the fact that it's illegal.

I don't want to debate you on the effects of weed. It is bad for you. End of story. I could go on and on about mental addiction' date=' motivation loss, etc. But I won't because you've heard it all before.

I didn't say it wasn't bad for you.

Its bad enough for you that legalizing it is not a good idea. Especially since it poses a threat to others. Honestly, a person's health is their own business. However, if you can smoke pot publicly, you get second-hand smoke, driving while stoned, that endangers other people. That answer's Willeh's cheeseburger argument to.

Now no doubt someone will make an argument about an obese person crushing people because they ate too many burgers and the thread will get shot to hell.

Second hand marijuana smoke...? Really...? How about the carbon emissions you're breathing everyday because of cars? Are cars illegal. Or maybe the emissions caused by meat production. >_> And driving while "stoned" isn't dangerous.

 

The thread was shot to hell before it was thought of. Obama would never legalize marijuana, there's no money in it.

No money in it?! What you talkin about?! I was just thinking. If weed is legalized, will there be different "brands" of weed?

[Mehmani]

May death come quick for those who have done such an act.

 

I'm beginning to loathe you.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Considering how I present myself as a person who hates to be mean. Such a phrase is venting. And if you connect yourself to that act, rather than just someone who performs it. I pity you. As while it does make one smell foul and rancid, is not the person.

They wouldn't be able to efficiently tax it, and people wouldn't be jailed for it any more.

Yes you can.

lt's that "Gimme that L" type of high. You know, like tasting a piece of chicken, savoring it, and having it snatched from you.

Um. No you can't. I KNOW this. Only smaller animals can get a "second-hand high."

[Tempest Dahlia]

*sucks teeth*

l KNOW you know what l mean, you're just being technical.

I MEAN, lf you're a weedhead, and you see your friend smoking, and you smell how good that smoke is... And how tasty that spliff looks...

Like that. It's not "high"... But you do get that craving for it. XD

That's not high though XD

 

That's like saying "If I go to the waffle house, smell waffles, and start to crave them, I'm high."

 

The word "spliff" just gave me one of the highs you're talking about. D:

I find it a complete farce and lie that the #1 unanswered question the people want answered is the pot issue. My question probably matches 100 million+ Americans: WHERE IS OUR TAXPAYER MONEY GOING TO!? But as for weed; rats...pot is dangerous. I give it 1 year of extreme economic failure from a massive drop in workforce efficiency to make SOMEONE ban it. This is another way to put the country on welfare...to CONTROL the people. Lets ignore Harry Reid stealing our money for a minute and focus on the Fascist in the White House and his retarded sidekick who are trying to take over our lives in every way. If they legalize a lethal drug that causes brain damage and memory loss over time...they will own us 100%. Already they are assimilating our banks, our cars, our medical system, our taxes, our homes, our credit cards, our very Rights are being stepped on. So, legalize weed? NO! It will cause more agony for society.

I was talking about the whole "Marijuana is lethal and makes you stupid" thing.

 

So was I. It has been proven to cause several problems over even short time span.

 

1) Loss of motor skills...how would you like to be killed by a pothead on the road?

 

2) Smoke inhalation is long term dangerous to the lungs, heart, skin, hair, throat, mouth, teeth, gums, tongue, and has been linked to decreased bone density

 

3) THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), the leading chemical is known to cause damage to the memory, balance, hearing, sight, muscular system, motor controls (fine and gross), smell, taste, hair growth, kidneys, liver, pancreas, and heart.

 

4) Shrinkage to key brain areas: Hippocampus (12%), and amygdala (7%). These damages are known to reverse over long term without using

Fact: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

Fact: Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.

Block, R.I. et al., “Acute Effects of Marijuana on Cognition: Relationships to Chronic Effects and Smoking Techniques.” Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior 43 (1992): 907-917.

 

Fact: There is no compelling evidence that marijuana contributes substantially to traffic accidents and fatalities. At some doses, marijuana affects perception and psychomotor performances- changes which could impair driving ability. However, in driving studies, marijuana produces little or no car-handling impairment- consistently less than produced by low moderate doses of alcohol and many legal medications. In contrast to alcohol, which tends to increase risky driving practices, marijuana tends to make subjects more cautious. Surveys of fatally injured drivers show that when THC is detected in the blood, alcohol is almost always detected as well. For some individuals, marijuana may play a role in bad driving. The overall rate of highway accidents appears not to be significantly affected by marijuana's widespread use in society.

Well to boil it down, you will ALWAYS have two sides with loaded research. And 'fact ' is ALWAYS a great way to start an argument. My opinion was stated in my first post. I should not have to defend it. I am not a troll. I don't go around pissing people off. Thank you. You are losing your temper, and I was informed foul language is not tolerated.
