Think about it, if weed is illegal because of the "health risks" then McDonalds should be the most illegal substance on this planet. McDonalds is more addictive than weed, and just look what it does to people. 1/4 of the US population is obese, and what is the reason they are obese? McDonalds. McDonalds is more dangerous that ANY drug, even synthetics, but it is not frowned upon, even our children eats it, infact, it is focused on children. That is like giving a 3 year old meth! I say if pot is illegal because of health risks, then why the fuck is McDonals legal? Even for CHILDREN.

Well I dont think marijuana will help with obesity - I know I get the munchies real bad. I also disagree with the fact that McDonalds is more dangerous than synthetic narcotics and for several reasons such as immediate overdose, violent behavior, physical addiction to name just a few. However I do agree McDonalds has its issues such as health risk and yes they do target a young audience to get them on their product. I also must state I don't think McDonalds is responsible for all obese people I mean c'mon have you ever seen some of these people eat then look at whats they are doing to their children ( I think child welfare services should get involved because of the heavy health risk and potential mental harm). Just my two cents

So-called "health risks" aren't the only reason pot is illegal. As imbecilic as they might be, there are other reasons. And there are plenty of things that are unhealthy that are also perfectly legal, not just McDonald's. By the "ban it if it's bad for you" logic, nearly every fast food chain would be illegal, not to mention eating fried Twinkies, drinking too much soda, staying up late, and everything else that can be detrimental to your health. McDonald's shouldn't be illegal and neither should weed.

**Dark** · 08-13-2008, 02:25 PM

I think that just because something is dangerous, does not mean it needs to be illegal. That kind of thinking makes me feel like the government is my parent and they don't think I'm old enough to make my own wise decisions.
It's not Mcdonald's fault that people are obese, it's the people that eat the food! They have a choice, they don't have to consume the food, but they CHOOSE to.

For the same reason I think all drugs should be legal, people should have the right to choose what they put into their own body. No if ands or buts about it.

Merry-juana · 08-13-2008, 03:40 PM

Nah i really do not think it should be legal, but it is just a way to say, if they ban it because it is bad for me, why the hell is McDonalds legal, and pot isn't. I am just saying, why the hell are they applying laws agains one thing and not against another? One word: MONEY. McDonalds brings in 100ds of billions and weed will only bring in 10s of billions, so that pretty much says it all.
Personally, I say all drugs should be legal too, and at the very least, they may not ban anything that is made by God, I mean, who are they to say something that was made in the hands of God is bad.

"They forbid marriage and inculcate abstinence from certain foods, though God created them to be enjoyed with thanksgiving by believers who have inward knowledge of the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected when it is taken with thanksgiving."
~1 Timothy 4:3-4

Now the next false Christian who says that God is against using pot, this is what they will get as a reply.

newcarcaviar · 08-13-2008, 03:48 PM

Picture yourself as a person who eats at McDonalds several times a week and enjoys it. Now imagine the government comes along and just shuts down every McDonalds because of the health risk. Wouldn't you be highly pissed?

It's exactly the same as marijuana and you. Anti-weed people want to take away your enjoyment just like you (an anti-McDonalds person) want to take away a McDonalds person's enjoyment. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you ban it for everyone else. You educate people on the subject and let them make their own decisions.

Personally, I haven't eaten at McDonalds in ages but I'm not going to stop other people from eating there just because I don't want to. I can make decisions and take care of my own body and other people can take care of their own bodies (well, you know what I mean).

Making something illegal for everyone doesn't solve anything.

imFADED · 08-13-2008, 04:16 PM

Last time I checked McDonald's (no matter how unhealthy) does not alter your state of mind.

JuanMoreTime · 08-13-2008, 04:18 PM

People that are obese are going to be that way whether McD's is open or not. What pisses me off is someone blaming others for their problems.

If you can't control what you eat. You will be fat.

If you can't control your alcohol. You will be an alcoholic.

If you can't control your drugs. You will be a drug addict.

Drugs are illegal. Are there still addicts?

Even people addicted to legal drugs. Let's do away with legal drugs.

As you can see with marijuana. Making something illegal doesn't stop people from doing it.

I would like to see it illegal for people not being responsible for their actions. They get fat, throw their ass in jail until they can control their eating.

Fast food can be addicting for people. The documentary Supersize Me he ate McDonalds for somethin like 15 days before he had to stop because it was a risk to his liver similar to that of someone that is a heavy drinker. He also said that he ate that food so much his body was starting to crave it.

I also don't think fast food restraunts are to blame for someone being obese. People are responsibe for what they eat and when they excercise. I was listening to Maxim Radio yesterday and they are doing a show all this week on exercising and getting into shape and obesity is one of the topics. People just don't excercise enough anymore. Look at all the new technology out there to make people even more lazy. Got a remote for the tv, can buy things using the computer instead of going to the mall and walking around, the drive thru makes people just stay in their car to get food and not walk into the place, but I wouldn't blame drive thru for the obesity. Sometimes it's okay to skip a meal if it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or to go without a dessert.

They also got into talking about fast food and drugs. If someone is fat do you tell them even if they really are or do you tell them they are fine because you don't want to sound mean was the question asked. Some people that called in said they are honest and will tell someone they are fat while other people will get pissed at them for being honest and will lie to the person and say they look good and they are fine. It's not rude to confont someone about smoking cigarettes or using drugs but it's rude to tell someone they are fat! It's a health issue, people get confronted about drugs and it's still their choice but they push for the person to get help. Obesity or hard drugs could cause someone to have a heart attack.

Supersize Me was a great punch to the McDonald's corporation but if you go to practically any fast-food joint and only eat their food from morning to night then you will see the same results.
