Now, before you throw in my face "WELL WHY ARE CIGS AND ALCOHOL LEGAL HUH!?!?!?" I'm not into either of those.
Well, I am. And I can tell you from personal experience, that smoking
cigarettes, I ****ed up my lungs. Sometimes I have heart pains, and lung pains. I am addicted, I go into panic and become a dick to everyone if I don't get my nicotine fix.
Alcohol. Ahh, much to say on the subject. I used to take a couple of tequila shots before going to school. I still do actually (In Italy, 16 is the legal drinking, smoking and f****** age). I have passed countless nights hugging the toilet as if it were my best friend, puking my soul out. Sometimes I actually didn't even have time to breathe, because the puke was coming out so fast. I then normally pass out somewhere and feel like complete and total **** for a while later.
Marijuana. The worst thing that has EVER happened to me smoking weed, is a headache. I got it, and I felt really tired. 20 minutes later it was gone. That is it. Out of years of smoking, the worst thing about Green is a lousy 20 minute headache. Being high, you get in contact with the spiritual part of the world, and yourself. You are non-violent, quite giggly, get the most amazing idea's (due to increased creativity). I admit, when you are high, you would not want to be attending any math classes.
You may tell me that I am a retard for doing all these things in only my 16th year of life, but I am anything but a retard. You are the retard, you are brainwashed by your stupid government, you are filled with fear and dread of things that don't even exist. I like to experience all aspects of life and reality. We only get one shot at life, and why waste it by doing things we don't like? If you think your society has problems mate, you have no idea what problems are. I was born and raised in Africa, where
as I child I literally saw people get shot and dragged into big black vans, and I saw houses burning down (including mine), and people lying dead on the road. So, about Marijuana? What the heck are you afraid of, man? Seriously.
those opposed to legalisation argue that the legalisation of cannabis will act as a precursor to increased addiction to hard drugs, and will necessarily lead to an increase in the crime rate itself.
INCREASED ADDICTION TO HARD DRUGS
"Come on man, don't you want some cocaine???"
"No, I just want weed."
"Ok... MDMA? Ritalin? Heroin?"
"No, I just want weed."
"I will give you the weed, and some coke for free, ok? And then you can come back and buy some more"
"No. Just the weed"
This, is trying to buy weed from a pusher. I know from personal experience. Being illegal, there is no control over the market. So, so, so many people pass from Marijuana to Hard Drugs due to these idiots of nature. So, YES, Marijuana is a gateway drug, but not because of Marijuana, because of YOU IDIOTS who keep it illegal and let this happen!
INCREASED CRIME RATE
Difference between legal and illegal:
1) Legal: Business is run by the government
2) Illegal: Business is run by criminals.
Just by making something illegal, it doesn't mean that the problem is going to go away. It just means that there will be increased population of prisoners.
Marijuana smokers are the most non violent people on the face of this planet.
Non-violent marijuana smokers are going to jail, while pushers like the one mentioned above are free to roam the streets.
You are all fake and gay.
And I disagree about not being able to get addicted to it.
True, one may not become addicted in the same nature as cigarettes and alcohol, but a person can still become addicted.
Dude. You can literally get addicted to ANYTHING on the face of this earth.
Marijuana isn't like other drugs (that's because it's a plant, lol). There is NO chemical present in Marijuana that enters your body and says "you need me, bi***". I promise.
You can get addicted to cheeseburgers, jacking off, a tv show, women/men.
The problem isn't addiction, the problem is YOU (a marijuana smoker) that can't hold his toke. Sure, I'd prefer to have a blunt in my hand, but I can live without it.
I'm sorry if you messed up your life, dude. But next time, tell yourself to chill the hell out and stop smoking every single day of your life -.-
But even pure marijuana doesn't do anything apart from laziness.
Once again, there is NO chemical in Marijuana that enters your body and makes you lazy.
There IS a chemical that temporarily disables motivational patterns in your brain, but it varies from person to person.
Proof? I'm a stoner, and if I was SOOO lazy, I would not be writing this reply, wouldn't I? I would be too lazy to even turn on my PC!
Here are a list of smart people, and what they said on this forum:
= Currently marijuana is (in my country) sold illegally by drug dealers who are selling incredibly impure forms that are just extra-weighted by all these additional Phenyl and Aldehyde compounds that are the cause of such negative effects. If cannabis was legal, it could be regulated efficiently to ensure these impurities were not present. Its the same as when alcohol was prohibited in the US the trade grew for illegal "Moonshine", which of course was much more harmful than our modern regulated alcohol. The concept is the same. =
= I see no reason not to legalize it. It's never killed or hurt anyone, and it's not bad for you. It actually cleans out your lungs. =
