And exactly how is it that this drug is destructive to society's fabric, and exactly what is this fabric, and how does it threaten it? (I've heard the exact same line from the govt about pot, sounds eerily familiar)

Nobody is it? Cannubus is both non-toxic, and non-addictive. Habitual? You mean like getting up at the same time every morning, or saying the same thing when you answer the phone, or eating your veggies before your meat.
Your friends that went down the path of self destruction, it was just a matter of time, and it would have happened if they had been introduced to pot, or not.

Never heard of anybody who smoked pot regularly and ever amounted to anything? Ever hear of Bruce Lee, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Willie Nelson, Louis Armstrong, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Rush Limbaugh, President Bush (the current one), Gov Arnold, and let us not forget many of the people you come in contact on a regular basis!!!

OK, let me enlighten you on a couple things. Refer Madness was not a documentary, and according to every scientific study ever done on cannabus, you are wrong!! Have a nice day!!

There's a line to draw ... like a white line ... on a mirror.

i think that drugs should be legalized as long as people who take them do not endanger anyone but themselves. another upside is that governments could tax it and put the money into more useful programs

Legalize all drugs. There is no reason that the government should be involved in a person's life like that. I myself am anti-drug, but it is not a free country when there are pills that you aren't allowed to take.

Powders and the sorts I do not think should be legal...or if they are, they should be strictly regulated by the Government. Simply because plenty of people die due to these substances every year. I'm sure there is a margin of it caused by the "fillers" dealers put in the powders...However the substances themselves are still dangerous and should be considered so.

As for legalising pot. Why! We already have one legal drug to many. Just think about anouther perception altering substance to go driving on the roads of this country. Many think that they have the right to decide for themselfs that they can handle their booze and it makes them better at anything they do, including driving, pot just makes those that are already irresposible even more so. Lost days, lost work and school hours, and the most heinious problem of all, lost lives. If you decide to do a little pot to give you that feel good for the day what can make the foul up that you commit that cost a life feel any better.

Let me, um... "adjust" your words a little, to put what you just said, into a broader context (and I "think", you'll get the point): (

) -

"As for legalising love. Why! We already have one legal drug to many. Just think about anouther perception altering emotion to go driving on the roads of this country. Many think that they have the right to decide for themselfs that they can handle their feelings and it makes them better at anything they do, including driving, love just makes those that are already irresposible even more so. Lost days, lost work and school hours, and the most heinious problem of all, lost wives (

). If you decide to do a little love to give you that feel good for the day what can make the foul up that you commit that cost a wife feel any better"

See where I'm going with this?

This occurs regardless. People can get drugs pretty easily, you know. And MOST drugs do not cause people to rob, kill or cause property damage. Regardless, those drugs are readily available now, so this is a non-issue.

Well, science says it's not. But whatever. I've smoked pot hundreds of times. I never got addicted. But again, whatever. Who cares? Heroin is certainly addictive. So is nicotine. My advise is to not smoke or shoot heroin. But it's your body. Do whatever you want.

Who are you, the lifestyle police? What business is it of yours what anyone does? If they are not bothering anyone stay the hell out of it. It's not up to you to decide what's good for me and I prefer it that way.

It matters when I start seeing your childern and family being effected by your substance abuse or use. It does effect me when you go around telling other families kids it is ok to use even though the parents said no to them on drugs. It does effect otehrs when you go to public places like work or school or whatever and are under the influence and endanger others.
Trust me, you effect others around you with your substance use/abuse.

Naturally occuring substances should be left to occur naturally. Chemicals should be controlled but all drugs should be legal. Noone has any right to say that I can't ingest any substance I wish.
