Drug legalization supporters having second thoughts as crime skyrockets.
I don't do drugs and consume very little alcohol.
This is why I think cannabis should be legal. It helps manage if you have brain seizures and also for me, I have it prescribed for nausea. I was diagnosed with a disease that causes me to be sick and vomit and feel nauseous and the weed really helps my stomach issues.
I clearly abuse weed and I am the weed addict you are talking about. I admit this. But so what? People abuse booze, food, sex etc as you also have pointed out Why is weed legally excluded from that while other vices are legal?
Alcohol kills the most people of any drug in existence, not even close.
A sobering reality: Alcohol kills more Americans each year than drug overdoses do
Alcohol dependence represents a more insidious threat than we are willing to acknowledge – to our health, our families and our livelihoods.www.usatoday.com
Yet it is both "regulated" and sold directly by the state.
Food for thought.
Yet the media and our political leaders say nothing about it.
I know so many alcoholics lots who have gone to jail for getting drunk and violent.Because weed on average tends to attract a certain type of person. It tends to attract people with no ambition, little intelligence, don't have a lot of value to society, and tend to be self absorbed.
Not saying all pot smokers are like that but an inordinate amount of them are. Especially in younger people.
For every 1 pot smoker I've seen or known there are 50 I know that drink and live perfectly decent lives, but all the pot smokers I've known tend to just skate by in life, don't speak very good English and aren't good for anything.
Certain vices attract on average a certain type of person. Cigarettes and alcohol users are the vast majority in this country by a huge amount but most are perfectly fine. Pot smokers on average tend to useless. Heroine and meth users tend to be criminals and terrible citizens. There are different levels depending on your vice of choice.
Yeah but those numbers are extrapolated.
95,000 deaths related to alcohol. But how many people drank that year? Every single day 10s maybe 100s of millions of people drink alcohol, every single day.
Let's say 200,000 people a day drink alcohol (I'd bet a paycheck that is wayyyyyy under estimated) in a year about 73 million people drank alcohol.
There are 330 million people in America. 200,000 is .6% of the population. To think only .6% of the population drink everyday is incorrect. So yes 95k sounds like a lot but compared to the real numbers they are quite tiny.
i knew smokers who had a cigarette every 15 minutes,guys who always had a beer with them and im sure there are pot smokers who over do it to,,,,but most do it moderately.....The people I know that smoke pot do it quite frequently.
it will never be outlawed because there may be a hell of a lot of people addicted to nicotine......including many in DC......It is a moot question as it will never be outlawed because of the tax revenue. Your understanding of government is very limited as is your IQ.
you realize how many in shape healthy people have thought that very same thing ....and died a few years later of some disease they did know they had or a malfunctioning organ ...quite a few....If more folks lived a healthy lifestyle like me there would be less death and disease.
music just doesnt sound as good with tobacco.....That is what we are told along with vaccines are safe, but I'm not sure I believe it
I find pot heads to be far more dedicated to their weed than smokers are to cigs.
the guy smoking tobacco cant help it......the guy smoking the pot can stop for 3 weeks or better without craving it physically anyway, like the cig guy who would be going nuts.........They both are dedicated to their drug of choice.
Very true but the odds are better with a healthy lifestyle.you realize how many in shape healthy people have thought that very same thing ....and died a few years later of some disease they did know they had or a malfunctioning organ ...quite a few....
Damn that milk chocolate!!!Drugs are addictive from the first use and their chemicals turn users into slaves. Slavery destroys freedom, but its addicts never seem to figure that out. And the devil is in the details.
many have died who fell asleep with a cigarette rolling out of their mouths onto the garbage pail though.......There is no level of impairment with cigarettes. No one ever died in an accident when the one for the road was a Marlboro.
The folks I know that smoke pot do it quite a lot. I drink beer in moderation.i knew smokers who had a cigarette every 15 minutes,guys who always had a beer with them and im sure there are pot smokers who over do it to,,,,but most do it moderately.....

what the fuck does that mean?....don't speak very good English
pot can be mentally......Both are addicting.
