Marijuana and the law

RE: Marijuana and the law
(September 27, 2013 at 1:52 pm)kılıç_mehmet Wrote: Of course you can brag all about how the evil alcohol industry is keeping you from getting your fix from a local store, but all your tinfoil theories won't change the fact that marijuana is a mind-altering, potentially addictive drug that appeals to people that require it to be happy and fulfilled. Namely, people that contribute nothing to society.

I'm a freelance writer and transcriptionist on the side. I occasionally do my work while on marijuana, and not only does the quality of my work not suffer, but I am actually able to focus better and for longer periods of time. If I were to try that with alcohol, itw wojkd klokk liekiw thies. Certainly, in my case, I'm not only contributing in spite of my drug preference, but actually a bit better because of it.

Quote:As I said, if I marketed a drug that provides quick and painless death solely for those who wish to commit suicide to buy it, and people do pay money, should this product be allowed on the premises?

Why not?

Quote:I oppose its legalisation due to the reasons it was declared illegal.
Nothing is declared illegal without a reason.

Nothing is declared illegal without a reason, true, but there are scads of things declared illegal for bad or faulty reasons. Marijuana is one of them.



Quote:Well, its not monopoly that worries me, but that's what is going to happen. Obviously you can't have a weed garden in every household. But that's what you think is going to happen when they legalize it, I guess?
I really don't care whether they create a monopoly on it, or whether everyone in the world has their own weed garden as to make a monopoly impossible, I'm against the spreading of the said drug in society. The creation of a monopoly by international corporations serves this purpose as they do this for profit, and they will naturally seek to enlarge their customer base. And with how you people regard marijuana as some sort of a "magic" drug that is completely harmless and even beneficial, I can see that in the future, both old and young will sit on their asses all day, gorging themselves on munchies, smoking marijuana.

Humor us with the specific reasons you believe pot deserves to be illegal, so that we can correct you.

Quote:So why do you want the whole of society to acknowledge your drug habits and make them legal?

Because my drug use poses no threat or risk to society. Therefore, that society has no right to tell me I can't do what I want, in this case.
