The fact that a group of people criminalized what people take into their bodies is infuriating. The fact is they want to protect our bodies and minds but is it theirs to protect, are they saying they must protect they're people because i don't think i ever signed anything with any government signing over my rights. the control of illegal substances is slavery. END IT

This is such a load of bullshit - what crime does marijuana lead to other then having it and driving under the influence - nothing violent(as stated). What disease does marijuana spread? And to state it leads to heroin and cocaine use is FALSE, alcohol leads to more coke than weed does, and heroin is a particular drug typically used by socially depressed individuals.Also what is this shit about rising emergancy room episodes from weed - who the hell goes to the hospital because they smoked a bong - dont know about you but I never saw an emergancy room at my Taco Bell.

"What’s really disappointing, however, is that there are still some who cling to outdated 70’s-era perceptions that marijuana is just about fun and partying and “self-expression.” It isn’t. Marijuana is actually about dependency, disease, and dysfunction."
Whats sad is when someone is so closed minded and wants to complain about outdated thoughts when they are 20 years behind the views they are complaining about, this a-hole should put is Reefer Madness tape out at a garage sale and pick up a modern book - whoever made these statements needs to do more homework they know about as much as I do iron working and you dont hear me telling people how to do that. I hope this jerkoff finds a big fat sack in his kids room, then gets arrested for DWI when he goes and drinks it off then spends the next couple of months as a fresh fish for some hung like a horse lonley man!

that is all bull shit, all the same stuff could be said about alcohol (and i think most smart ppl know that pot and can be much safer than alcohol in certain aspects) i think all those politicians were the nerdy kids in school than never got high and they were always jealous of the cool ppl that partied and smoked weed

srsly peeps lrn2 read teh thread.

How about this? We have a mock debate. I'll role-play (and anyone else up for the flaming ) an opponent. You can argue with me instead of the OP, who's just trying to get some help.

Good timing for you eh? Make sure to publish copy of your paper here on marijuana.com.

-gonna name my headshop that and make a donation on every purchase to NORML,
in a few years when I get everything together to make it happen so I dont go out of buisness in a few months

It should remain illegal because it seems the governmant does not want me to be happy

[quote=GREENFOODGAMES;952434]Eh, I give up for now. It's futile. Jewbutca doesn't seem to mind and it's his thread.

Best of luck with the shop. Headshop=legal dispensary in CA right? Maybe give the customers a discount for donating too? You'd recruit some advocates, money talks after all . I'd probably donate to these guys too: LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition).

As far as reasons people remain against legalization, this part of LEAP's site has some info. Drug War Distortions

pretendo

thats cool, im actualy doing a reasearch paper on a legalization/decriminalization debate for 12th grade english, and your on a good start to first believe in your opinion you must study and know the opposing opinion and what they believe
