Still, get where I am coming from? If you legalize one drug, you will eventually have to legalize others. Don't let the ones in the wrong win. Pot still is a DRUG!

Then you don't understand the LEGAL system. It's set up for a good reason, and you should learn why before you go putting things out there.

No offense, and I dont mean this personally towards you, but you have been brainwashed.

Caffeine killed more people this year than Pot....Yeah CAFFEINE IS A DRUG!!

Tylenol killed more people than Pot this past year....TYLENOL IS A DRUG!!

Dont even get me started on Cigarettes and Alcohol. I just quit smoking cigarettes 3 weeks ago. Believe me it took almost 10 years to quit smoking, It was that hard!

On the other hand, I smoked pot when I was younger. It hasn't hindered me in any way, shape or form and when I needed to quit I quit and didnt have any issues with it.

As a matter of fact I took Ecstacy in high school and quit that with no problems either.

But try giving up caffeine or cigarettes and watch how hard it is.

95% of your prescriptions sitting behind the counter at a Pharmacy are worse for you than Marijuana.

However you think Marijuana is bad because a bunch of old farts in political office during the 60's didnt like the way that hippies were acting and the fact that they were open and vocal and so they created the "schedules" of all narcotics and got them all grouped together that way and got the public tricked into thinking that they were some awful thing.


Dont forget that the government tried the same thing with prohibition banning alcohol. If you have ever had a drink then you have tried a drug that was at one time considered the same way marijuana or cocaine are looked at now.

Prohibition was pointless and stupid and so is the criminalization of MOST banned narcotics.

It's funny how someone who is really messed up from drugs thinks he is completely normal, even though it's quite obvious to everyone else that he's a total (*)(*)(*)(*)-up. It's a common symptom of drug abuse and addiction.

LOL.....I am 26, almost 27 years old and havent done any drugs since I was like 15-16 years old.

The United States Government felt that I was right enough in the head to serve in two wars.

I currently work in a Pharmacy and I think that qualifies me just a LITTLE bit on the topic of drugs. No im not a Pharmacist, I am a Pharmacy Technician and so no im not all knowing on the topic and I wont pretend to be. I can tell you with 100% certainty though that I know the history of these so called "bad" drugs and also know about the massive amounts of hypocricy that has gone into them being deemed "bad".

So its funny how someone who doesn't know what they are talking about on the subject, likes to make assumptions about someone who they dont know.

I have not insulted you in any way, shape, or form so I would appreciate the same courtesy from you. Disagree with me all you want, heck prove me wrong I welcome that!! But there is no need for insults. Im not sensitive and it doesnt hurt my feelings, but im not spending this time online here to get into arguments, I would rather good, and friendly debate.

Im here to discuss ISSUES in an intellectual fashion. Not to throw around insults. When I said that the previous poster had been "brainwashed" I didnt mean it in an insulting fashion, simply that he was buying into government b.s. If that came across as an insult I will apologize right now.

Good for you!



Thank you for your service.




Cool!!!! Can you get me any oxi-contin?????


Legal drugs, maybe......


Is that a 'no' on the oxy?



Oh, so we still might be able to do something with the oxy?


The history of drugs is only a google away for any of us.



I seriously doubt there are many/any posters here with as much first hand experience with drugs as I have. That ain't braggin', son....it just is what it is.



I didn't insult you, I made a joke.



That's an interesting concept, not sure we've ever had that here before.


Rule #1: Never apologize.

I said it before and I'll say it again...stop wasting corn for ethanol and grow hemp for hemp oil and we have an alternate fuel that isn't taking away from our food supply. Of course you have to grow the female cannabis plant to produce the male hemp plant, but they are denying an economy saving crop to the American people.

Why would anyone turn down alternate fuel that can be made IN THE U.S.A. It will give us jobs, be cheaper over time, and we would slowly be weaning ourselves off of foreign oil dependence.

Look at the mess we are in with fossil fuels now. We can't continue forever on fossil fuel dependence. It wouldn't happen overnight, but why oh why does our government not look into this fuel option. At this point, alternate fuels are the only thing that can keep this economy running in the long term.

The government would be wise to legalize hemp for fuel, but we all know how wise the U.S. government is...

LOL....sorry but no can do with the Oxy.

Like I told someone else in another thread, im awful at spotting sarcasm or jokes online so my bad if you were just joking around.

I think BB just argues to get attention. You're definitely more qualified than him on the matter - as I am more qualified on the economic side of the debate. Weed should be legal from a economic standpoint as well as a moral standpoint.
