For fuck's sake, it has been shown time and time again to have FAR less negative effects than alcohol! I just do not fucking get it. I can go buy a handle of hard alcohol, a carton of cigarettes, a prescription to any number of psychotropic medications that have FAR worse side effects, but I can not buy an 1/8 of the sticky icky without the very real possibility of being thrown into a jail with murderers, rapists, and arsonist. Let's not forget the potential of having my rights as a citizen thrown away because now I am considered a dangerous felon. You say I feed the Mexican cartels, right? What if I grow my own? Nope, sorry, that's silly; I would probably go a shoot up a bus full of children or nuns, right? Bullshit! The worst that would happen is that I would eat all my Doritos, feel bad about it, and go work it off on the Elliptical machine for an hour. I'm watching G4 right now. They are having a 420 special, and I REALLY wish I had some bud... I stopped smoking a couple months ago, but now I drink more. All I want to do is have a little something, something to help me relax while I watch some TV after a long, and productive day at work, paying a shit ton of taxes for services I never really directly benefit from. Why is it so wrong for a man to simply fire up his bong and take a hit of the stickiest ickiest? You fucking tell me that Mr. Holier Than Thou Teetotaler? Does it offend baby Jesus or some shit? Will it make God, in all his mighty wrath, strike me down? No, I would simply smoke some weed, live my life, and your life would not be effected in any way shape or form. Drug laws in this nation are fucking retarded. /rant complete. 2/10

pot smokin non productive stank freeloaders!

Because chemical companies making fertilizers and pesticides (necessary for the growing of cotton) and synthetic fabrics demanded (with money) that congress do something about hemp (the competition) so they outlawed pot (hemps cousin) making it hard on hemp.
The fact that pot is a mild recreational substance was a plausible basis to do anything at all so they seized on it. |

Quoted: Because the state legislature have passed laws making it unlawful to posses or consume it. It's call democracy. Anything I could add to this would be extraneous. Seriously though, "stickiest ickiest"? Hey Ludacris, you're late to the recording studio. -1/10 |

It is illegal because of:
DuPont (threatened their oil to plastic business) Kimberly Clark (threatened their paper business) Uninformed Congress (stupid as always) Media sensationalism (not much changes, huh?) Bigotry (vs Mexicans and black Americans) Power (big government) and erosion of freedom and Liberty (big government) |

Quoted: It's not illegal.  Only a ticket if you don't have the $50 permit. Not in Williamson County it isn't. These fuckers will thrown you in jail for the slightest infraction, much less minor possession. I guess it makes the local judges look as if they are hard on crime when it comes to re-election. Dude, I don't even speed in WillCo as these guys bring new meaning to the term "draconian". You don't fuck around in WillCo. I'm moving to Travis county when my lease runs out. It will be good though, I will cancel out some liberal's vote, so that's a plus. |

Quoted:
Stoner You'd be the guy who would draw down on somebody while high. Grow up and get off my lawn. I do not handle firearms whilst under the influence of any intoxicant stronger than a tylenol. Weed falls under that rule. Hmmm..... all these arfcommers getttin' all antsy about high gun owners, when they see no problem with getting drunk as skunks and handling/shooting firearms. When I am drunk or stoned, the guns stay put away. Not that hard to be a responsible adult. |

It is a stimulant, it does not relax you (of course nicotine same thing). You might think it does, but the psychophysical and clinical signs are more closely related to methamphetamine. Does slow down the old internal clock in the brain.
This whole bullshit thing about "theraputic" is bullshit. They have a legal prescription for THC, it is called Marinol. I guess it is not a cool as hitting the bong, eh? Flame away GD, flame away... |

It's very difficult to control and regulate. It's a plant. It doesn't require any chemical process or any type of special expertise to grow. Even making alcohol is more difficult. If it was made legal people would grow it and then it would become nearly impossible to regulate it's sale. That's why. The unregulated market would put out into the general public a depressant that could not be controlled. The assumption is that it will lead to people developing a greater resistance to the depressant and in turn requiring strong narcotics to achieve the same result. Suddenly you've got marijuana laced with things or demand for more harmful substances. Why do people drink heavily? To achieve the same result they must drink more and more. Eventually they can end up drinking things like grain alcohol to achieve the same result they once got with just a couple of beers. A line has to be drawn somewhere in the worlds of depressants. They tried to draw it with alcohol, but that was a bridge too far with its cultural and historical use. The idea is to draw the lines in narcotics at marijuana and hope that it isn't pushed further, because just over that line are a whole host of bad narcotics that would certainly risk harm to society. That's the argument anyways. |

The drug laws in this nation keep tens of thousands of people employed by the state and federal governments, in the prison system, and in the construction industry. As a bonus, the crime stemming from those drug laws is the perfect excuse to hire even more government employees and to pass further laws to fight these side effects. The war on drugs has been good to government. Better than just about anything else in the last hundred years. |

Think about it this way: Alcohol is a liquid and it does take a measure of expertise to make and it's not easy to transport en masse. Marijuana is just a plant. You can grow it and then transport anywhere in bulk. How do you require and regulate such a thing? With alcohol you can require licenses to manufacture or sell it and with that enforce age restrictions on its use. That would be very difficult with marijuana. It's easy to grow, easy to transport, and keeping it to marijuana bars or clubs would not be as easy. |
