It's not legal everywhere.

It's not healthy to smoke. 

It's not harmless. 

 

ok - Thats your opinion. :)

 

Just look at my signature haha - ITS LEGAL HEALTHY AND HARMLESS

 

what a shit show we have here... My Opinion on legalizing pot is, in this economy where the country needs all the money it can get, im 100% for legalizing it.. its a surprise to me how they haven't already the Government has a Looong history of exploiting Peoples Vice's and Weakness's for money anyway why not add a new one to the list.. Plus the main two states that recently outlawed marijuana have started to see their tax income already, I wont waste the readers time with a bad pun so i'll just say its a fuck ton of money just off of the Mary-J Alone http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=9440209
If you read that link you will notice that state police chiefs plan to get more money for equipment and training from these new taxes
meaning that the Public Safety will go Up from legalizing Marijuana I know that is another topic that always comes up when legalizing a drug..

My Local State, Maryland, has begun voting on Decriminalizing Marijuana Under 10 Grams.. making it a Civil offense meaning that the worst you can get for being caught with pot is a 100$ Fine, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/19/maryland-decriminalize-marijuana_n_2909541.html The Maryland Senate Passed it 30 to 16 and it will now go to the House of Delegates, if it passes it will be legal in Maryland almost everyone here believes it will get passed as last year Medical Marijuana was passed through the delegates 127 to 9

Also if no one minds I would like to put my two cents into this little kiddie argument going on.. One Side is saying that Smoking Pot is harmful and the other side though it has good facts, is ignorant and not willing to listen to others beliefs (Which by the way is not very pot smoker like haha) here's my thing.. I have heard BOTH sides say now that there is NO definitive Issue with THC (IF USED MODERATELY) its HOW the THC gets into your system that's harmful.. so what about edibles? eat a brownie or cookie or anything really get baked while eating baked goods, it creates 0 Tar in your lungs, doesn't make you cough (unless you choke on the deliciousness)
and gets you properly fucked up, I don't really see a down side to that does anyone else? I mean.. if were using this shit to kill cancer and the ONLY problem is that were Smoking it? (Which by the way smoking ANYTHING is harmful doesn't matter what you smoke lets act like we actually have sense here) and also just make one last thing clear and evident (ANYTHING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR SYSTEM IN LARGE ENOUGH DOSES PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER BEFORE) One thing my Dad told me (Being a man that has tried just about every drug around and hasn't gone back to anything except Marijuana while also being a person that sells alcohol and cigarettes to people who are addicted to it for a living I believe him when he says this) "Moderation is key with everything" Caffeine Pot Alcohol Etc You get the point and if you think that's bullshit go ahead and take 3 Aspirin A Day Every Day and Let me know if you don't start shitting blood in a week or two.. OR get Drunk every other Night for A Month and then lay off of it and tell me your not DYING for another drink.. OR tell me that you can stop drinking caffeinated Drinks Anytime you want without feeling Ultra Stressed out and Withdraw like symptoms i'll be waiting with bated breath for that..

 

That's all I Really have that is constructive for this debate Please if you're going to reply have something actually worth while to read Not "Stfu, Kid what are you, 16?" Like seriously if you're that but hurt over someone else's opinion on legalizing a drug, then you have some mental problems that I suggest talking to a doctor about, thanks for reading to the ones that are in fact mature and in it for a good ole' debate

No, that's not my opinion. That's how it is. 

 

And I can't see your banner. I block out stuff that looks like it's written by a 5 year-old (Large, various colored text etc).

"its not harmless" is most definitely an Opinion good sir.. the other two is how it is yes.. I can agree with that

Um. "It's not healthy to smoke" which implies there is harm involved in smoking. And you agree with that. So...? I guess that is your opinion too then, I take it? 

I don't really want to become too active in this debate and I don't really have a opinion, but it's probably not going to be the marijuana killing you, nor the smoke but the stupid stuff you could do while you're stoned (or whatever you prefer calling it).

Um. "It's not healthy to smoke" which implies there is harm involved in smoking. And you agree with that. So...? I guess that is your opinion too then, I take it? 

 

well no the way I took it is "It's not healthy to smoke" its the smoke that's harmful not the marijuana smoking isn't the only way to ingest marijuana.. there are more healthier options that doctors recommend but yes lol opinions!

 

Well, you put the marijuana (read: crap) on fire and then inhale it. How is that good for you? 

I'm all up for legalizing it. There's been so many unnecessary deaths (in law enforcement) due to these drug busts it isn't even funny. If it was regulated by the government, they could make a good buck off it too, not to mention I'm fairly certain it would hit the drug trade that bit. There being a legal way to purchase weed would probably make it easier to be accessed by people, without the need to deal with dangerous people.

 

Also, if people want to get fucked up that's their own business. I couldn't care much if they want to ruin their lives for it. Also on situations where it affects others e.g. operating a motorvehicle while under the influence, ya, that should be unlawful.

his flagrant disregard for mature conversation over a drug which is a shame he is really making pot smokers look bad

Interesting..Reviewing the conversion, this topic was full of bs and immature conversion way before i entered it. And when I did decide to join in for some fucking reason - I posted Facts, Articles, Studies, and my opinion (about the conversation lol). At no point was this post ever a "Mature Conversation". The STFU Kid--Well he is a kid - he has admitted that many times on this website--and he was quoting my post just to piss me off , as me and him have gone through this before... and just to clarify he was not posting an opinion...have i ever got "Butt Hurt" over someones OPINION on this post.

 

When I have seen and helped tons if ppl (Including my father, and sister) treating illnesses and even treating addiction to pills with marijuana... and it brings the life back in to them, brings them closer to there family..brings them BACK to who they were before.. - then see a bunch of ppl on here saying its horrible for your health - its a drug, drugs are bad  - It really strikes home for me. Thats why I get angry and defend Marijuana as i have.

 

With that said - I agree with most of what you have said...especially the edibles part :P - I LOOVVE me some brownies..lol

I can see where you are coming from on the defending it stand point my entire life I have been around it my entire family smokes it so im kinda desensitized to it, however I have seen it in both good lights and bad lights there is one person in my family that smokes everyday never cleans his house because he's too lazy doesn't work and so on and it really doesn't make pot look all that appealing I smoke some what frequently (Never outside that's stupid) though and it hasn't altered my life towards the negative in any way I DO think however that if someone doesn't like pot that's okay they have their reasons.. pot doesn't need people to defend it and pot isn't going to get legalized because its good or bad for you its going to get legalized because it will make the government a ton of fucking money hahaha

Oh, I almost forgot. Let's not forget how the chemical changes in your brain cause disolutionment and the chemical changes which occur within the blood stream cause heart defects. And how the smoke (with it being hot) burns the back of your throat causing the cillia to singe away allowing a build up of mucus and thus breathing difficulty. I have to say, that does sound so healthy.

well sir once again.. the first statement I cant disagree nor agree with because I simply never researched that part of it (never really cared)

however the SMOKE burns the back of your throat causing breathing problems I wouldn't blame Pot for that because the same effects come from smoking anything...  like cigarettes.. which are very legal... and very popular..

Your right - Pot doesn't need anyone to defend it..Just hard to remember that when its personal.

 

Im gonna go smoke a bowl and relax

"Wouldn't blame pot for that" So it just magically burns your throat? You set the crap on fire and inhale the hot smoke? Where does the smoke come from then? And I never said cigarettes didn't do the same. They sure do.

Cigarettes are legal, correct. But in the UK I know they are trying everything to make it as illegal as possible due to the research they have done. There are more chemicals in a cigarette than the average human even know exist. So much so they have even linked it to increasing the risks of lung and throat cancer.

You inhale smoke it is going to cause some serious issues, you wouldn't sit in a burning house every day so why inhale smoke from a cigarette or cannabis?

 

That is why I disagree with legalising it.

It all seems far too stupid to me, having never smoked anything in my life, I intend to keep it that way.

I don't agree with cigarettes being legal, they're about as poisonous as everything else IF not worse! I can understand why though, for it was legal for a long period of time already and just way too popular. Weed I also don't really agree with being legalized, but I think it'd be for the best.

 

I find it hard to believe you don't care for your own health though, that's pretty bad. And cigaretters doing the same thing shouldn't justify the use of weed neither, for it doesn't matter. Fact is, it still causes these issues and your health is at play.

 

I also agree with Luke on the matter.

In my opinion - I think that it should remain illegal so too should standard cigarettes. My reasoning behind this is that smoking can cause incredible harm to your lungs, oesophagus, never mind the toxins that enter your blood which allows it to be spread all over your body infecting your liver, kidneys and your heart. 

 

Yes you may say that marijuana has not directly caused any deaths however what is to say that it hasn't caused any problems later in life ranging from problems such as early dementia, lung cancer, cancer of the throat, or been linked to the weakening of your immune system therefore making you vulnerable to infections, virus', and/or diseases. Please tell me, by means of scientific proof, if this has been proved to be false. 

 

I really do not understand why people guard this drug so heavily - smoking is dangerous full stop.

I'm all up for legalizing it. There's been so many unnecessary deaths (in law enforcement) due to these drug busts it isn't even funny. If it was regulated by the government, they could make a good buck off it too, not to mention I'm fairly certain it would hit the drug trade that bit. There being a legal way to purchase weed would probably make it easier to be accessed by people, without the need to deal with dangerous people.

This Guy! "I'm fairly certain it would hit the drug trade that bit." kudo's to you the two main groups that would be negatively affected in a large way would be the Mexican drug cartels (though they would move to other drugs most likely) and the Taliban (even wonder where the name kush came from? look at a map of Afghanistan and prepare to get mindfucked) on more of a lighter note though just take into account the next time you smoke some OG Kush (to the ones that do smoke) keep in mind that most likely the one that grew what your smoking shot at American soldiers at one point in time or another lol #Facts

I think you guys misinterpreted what I was trying to say.. I was simply stating that marijuana isn't as dangerous as smoking in general.. smoking anything is harmful (As repeated many times by many people) and I used cigarettes as an example of something that is Legal and smoking it is dangerous I think comparing cigarettes to marijuana is like comparing apples to lighter fluid..

"Wouldn't blame pot for that" So it just magically burns your throat? You set the crap on fire and inhale the hot smoke? Where does the smoke come from then? And I never said cigarettes didn't do the same. They sure do.

SMOKE IS HARMFUL TO THE LUNGS doesn't matter whats being burned to me the overall idea of inhaling smoke is a unhealthy decision I don't blame Pot for smoke related issues which is what you had described.. it isn't the chemicals in pot that cause breathing problems its the smoke

So, you agree with that smoking, is bad, so in effect: marijuna is bad too in that form.
