Marijuana becoming legal little by little: the bitter victory

One bitter victory, it came after so long. Read this first:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-t...2018-04-24
Quote:Fortunes may be made in legal cannabis over the coming years. As a result, bullish sentiment is building on cannabis stocks both for recreational and medicinal uses.
Adding to the bullish sentiment is the first-ever cannabis-based medicine to get a favorable recommendation from an advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is a big win for cannabis.
The drug, a syrup called Epidiolex, is from GW Pharmaceuticals GWPH, -0.80% GW2A, +0.00% to treat childhood epilepsy. The medicine doesn’t have any psychoactive effects.
Now; I would like to tell the parents and the "religious figures" along with the governments' slaves; what was your fight against marijuana is about in the previous decades; really?
You doomed your children with cigarette addiction and favored tobacco over weed; just to escape the hammer of society. You created the stereotype that marijuana users are "retarded pot-heads" while cigarette smokers are "meh..it kills..but it's better than drugs".
Just to smile 
If you are a strict, by the book parent, a stereotype, do you realize the hypocrisy you raised your kids to? you're a hypocrite scared gimp who exchanged "natural plant=marijuana" with "chemical waste=cigarettes". How many kids with epilepsy lost their chance of having some relief because of you; and how many people with Multiple Sclerosis -like me- are cursing you everyday for you being the number 1 cause of the plant's prohibition in the previous years?
If you are religious, and used your religion to justify this prohibition, watch me puff its smoke in your face when it's legal.
I'll pass it to you, too
It's a victory. Bitter; but a victory.

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.

None of that changes the fact, that tobacco is a "natural plant". Just because something is "natural" doesn't make it good for you.
Also - tar and CO2 are present in cannabis smoke. Generally, inhaling smoke - bad idea.

Unless you have multiple sclerosis, epilepsy or Parkinson's disease.
Generally, it's then a very good idea.

It is a shame so many people have been, and still are, going to jail just for possessing weed.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

How else are we supposed to find enough human chattel to make prisons turn a profit?

Er, what about the strict parents who advised their kids against both pot AND cigarettes?

I believe that most places legalizing it are only doing so for private consumption. You still can't just light up wherever.

Well, no. Cannabis edibles are a very good idea. Vaporizer is a good idea. Smoking is probably the worst way to do it. Except for jagged, fist-sized THC suppositories, I guess...

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.
