So he told us, facts proved him wrong, and then he went back to the deep end. Yet it's still the most popular OT thread at the moment. Now I remember why I only check this forum every few days or so.

A real problem with marijuana is that stupid people shouldn't use it. If you are dumb and smoke marijuana you become retarded. Unfortunately now we just have a bunch of retarded teenagers taking dabs in California acting like they are a part of this pot revolution. Guess what dipshits? You aren't part of shit, you are just some retarded kiddies getting high on your parents dollar. The man isn't keeping you down, your parents are the man and when you wake up out of your haze from all those dabs, and, assuming you haven't spent all your parents money, you will be the man too. 10 years from now when you get out of rehab for marijuana because you were the only people stupid enough to get addicted to something that's not really addictive, but you used it in such concentrated levels that it messed with your brain chemistry, you will be blaming marijuana for all your life's problems.

Yeah, I can see a bit of this happening already. When I go to these clubs they are full of grungy punk kids, and they don't appear too bright.

I smoked a bit in college but not like every day or anything. I started smoking a few months ago after a pretty serious injury, the results of which have been serious neuropathic pain in my right arm. I switched to cheeba chews but still get stupid and buy pot sometimes.

I don't know how anybody could use this in the day and function. I use it around midnight to go to sleep.

The CBD stuff is non-psychoactive. It's hard to find it pure, this is pretty good. It's what really helps the pain and numbness.

Don't judge me

Legal pot is fine. I just wish users would switch to edible forms in public places. Pot smoke is no less disgusting than cigarette smoke. Having to go through the smoking wars all over again seems retarded.

Yeah this is something that's going to have to be worked out socially. It will end up being like tobacco, probably with the same sorts of use restrictions and general social stigma attached. I went to Red Rocks in Denver to a see a concert 18 months ago or so and the smoke was hanging so thick in the bowl that some parents got up and left with their kids. That isn't fair, either.

The last thing you need to have happening is innocent pedestrians becoming intoxicated.

Hear hear! I've disliked tobacco smoke and the associated conflicts since I was knee high to a watermelon. The last thing you need to have happening is innocent pedestrians becoming intoxicated with by your need to be stoned. :eek:

Watermelons have knees? What have you been smoking?

That's still a kind of early adopter problem. Noobs will be noobs, but things should be better once the initial pot frenzy is over and the general public has more experience.

I'm more concerned with the idiots that think "it's just a plant, man", and let underage kids have weed. All the research I've seen indicates that Marijuana's risks are quite low, unless you're under age 25. Much younger than that and it messes with brain development, which results in stereotypical pothead dropouts.

Uhhhhhhhhhh YUP.

We've got the stupid pill down, still waiting on the smart pill. Anyday now.

It seems for the most part you can only damage your brain. Sober of any drugs seems to be the only way to go.

We are still, as a society, in the wild-west days of Drugs. At some point science will figure this stuff out, but in regards to weed... Things won't be like this for long.

Some retard is gonna get himself killed using dabs or smoking super strong medical stuff and they are gonna quit letting people just "wing it".

At the moment, if you have a few tens of thousands of dollars you can set up your own grow op and become an urban weed farmer in a few weeks. You can do this as a hobby.

I don't think that will last forever tho. I think it's a golden age of weed entrepreneurship!

Yes, one example proves a lot about the majority.

I actually don't have a problem with weed or weed smokers. I guess I just cannot relate. But alcohol is worse and I'd rather people be high than drunk I guess.


Just making a point that not everyone who smokes is a loser who can't hold a job or contribute to society. Assuming that people who smoke are all dumb doesn't make much sense. We only get the gift of life once as far as we know, explore your mind and experience things, at least that's how I feel about it.

Not going to read all this, but supply and demand.

Obviously if there is too much production and not enough demand, the market will feel it. Every single thing out there has to battle this.

There's no particular need. First everyone agreed with what mizzou just said, then after a page or three we just made fun of Felix and talked about weed in general. Felix is pretty much the only one here that agrees with his positions.

Well now that I've just skimmed the whole thing I see that I left some parts out, but it's still a fairly entertaining read.

It's funny how a lot of you here have given such elaborate arguments for making marijuana legal, when it's clear you're all just a bunch of potheads who want to get high legally. You're not fooling anyone.

Pro-legalization = being a pothead

I could be wrong, but I'll go on record as saying this is one of the worst attempts at sockpuppeting ever.

In the event that I am wrong: hello noob, and welcome to the forums. You're wrong.

How are you not wrong? Actually I guess you were right in that we're not fooling anyone, because we actually aren't. We aren't even trying to, that's all you and your own biases. This thread obviously did bring out a lot of current users, legal and otherwise, but plenty of legalization and/or decriminalization supporters either don't or never have used the stuff. Sorry that doesn't fit your narrow preconceptions, but that's reality.

No, that is a flat-out lie. There's no reason whatsoever to have an interest in legalizing weed if you don't smoke it.

How about that I dont want my tax money being spent chasing, convicting and incarcerating people who aren't doing any harm?
