Marijuana becoming legal little by little: the bitter victory

[dyresand]

LOL... You do realize, that tobacco is a "natural plant" as well, right? Not saying, that cigarettes are good, but "arguments" like this won't help making the "retarded pot-head" stereotype go away.

The contents of cigarettes/ chewing tobacco are enough to poison a whole population.
Just for the record; nicotine is the least of your problems when you smoke: TAR and CO2 are your main concerns.

it's the processing of the plants when it comes to tobacco the stuff they use it's what kills you. the filter on a cigarette does more to harm you than any good. 
and just smoking, in general, isn't good for you at all. even if it's marijuana you are just better off eating it than ruining your lungs and vaping is no better either.

I believe that anybody should put whatever they want in their own body, and it's not the government's right to punish them for it. Decriminalization of all drugs across the board, obviously including weed. I think weed should be legalized, taxed and sold too, but as long as people aren't getting arrested for it that's all I really care about.

Of course, this thread is really about medical, yeah? There isn't even any THC in those things (if there is, it's a minute amount and has no psychoactive effects.) I don't see a rational reason to oppose it.

Also applies to tobacco here. Can't light up indoors unless there is a proper space with ventilation. Heh, being a smoker no qualms with that and I enjoy tobacco better outside.

As for the drug itself, lel, the weakest of them all. Alcohol comes to mind as way more destructive and yet legal. Hell, xanax or prozac are worse. Imo making it legal would give some tax revenue back, instead spendin on a losing war to wich all the revenue goes with greater profit to the big dealers, at a risk sure, but what a business venture is out of risk these days.

I don't agree with heroin. That is a bad mistress. And I know a bit about the subject. Or Meth, but never tried that one. Never liked the uppers.

Former uppers guy here. Yeah, bad. Very bad, very not good. ...that's my review.

The stipulation with that is an industry *cough* prisons would lose out a big population. So when it comes down to it we have that right and well freedom taken away for our own "safety" when in actually were no more safer because of the narcotics legally pushed by pharmaceutical companies. I can easily say this because it holds weight to it but the opiod epidemic lately is well artificial in nature due to drug companies pushing more products that are addictive and well to powerful. We can stop the opioid epidemic by putting the foot down on the pharmacutical industry to stop them from pushing this medication. This is blantant legal drug dealing which shouldn't even be legal at all. But i would be a hypocrite saying that because i think all drugs should be legal to a point where it doesn't out right kill you like in the case with krokodil where it rots you...
