You can't honestly think that marijuana should remain illegal while drugs like alcohol and tobacco are considered a-okay to consume and legal, it's just retarded tb.h
>>74301811
its just a Phase, you will get over it.
>>74301811
It makes you stupid.
>>74301811
it doesnt kill you but transforms you into a brainless monkey who does nothing else but smoke pot.
it literally turns you stupid by proxy.
additionally its really just a phase for many highschool and college kids. once your out of education/academia you got other things to worry about than fucking blazing it up all day.
or you know, you dont in which case youre transforming into a useless retard.
I used to share the same opinion, but one of my friends recently really went downhill because of it, he never took anything else not even alcohol. He can't think right anymore, some scary shit.
DEVILS WEED!
>>74302587
This is not a side effect of the weed
Either all drugs should be banned, and yes that includes tobacco and alcohol, or no drugs should be banned. In an ideal world, nothing would need to be banned and people wouldn't abuse anything.
Personally I don't care about it, as long as you are smoking your shit (whatever it is) far away from me, as I cannot stand the smell.

We don't need any more legal intoxicants, especially the kind whose users are oblivious to its effect on the mind.

This thread again. Whether you smoke it or not, you should support the legalization of marijuana. If you want it to stay illegal, you're basically saying it's okay to give up your freedoms and let the government have more control over what you can and can not do in your life. It's disgusting that cops can literally put you behind bars and ruin your life because you have some plant buds in your pocket. Do any of you people that want it to remain illegal know why it became illegal in the first place?
As for people that claim "smoking makes you stupid" or "it ruined my life," these things only happen to people that are already weak minded and make poor decisions regardless of the plant. There are far more successful weed smokers than burnouts in the world. You would be surprised how many successful people you come across on a daily basis (assuming you actually leave your house) that smoke every day.
All drugs should be legal to be honest familia.

But those vices have some form of regulation or authority to control them. Or at the very least, evidence is acknowledged that if taken beyond moderation negative effects will occur.
What pot-heads fail to grasp, with such effort put into glamorizing marijuana as the plant that will save the human race in order to legalize it, it completely overshadows the potential for peer reviewed research into it's side effects to be acknowledged.
What has to be kept in mind is that it's a mind altering substance. Just like alcohol, over time the effects become psychologically ingrained into your personality. In other words you aren't you without your pot. What's your life then other than one high to the next when the moderate doses aren't cutting it anymore?

there's literally no reason except contrarian pissbabies on /pol/. Marijuana can be pretty effective for various medicinal purposes, and is much healthier for patients than a lot of prescription drugs they could otherwise take.
>>74302539
depends from person to person. Was a regular smoker, and it made me crazy insightful. Actually made me redpilled. Lurked on /pol/ almost daily for 3years while being pro-EU, Obama, Labourparty globalist. Still, what made me redpilled was the weed and the ability it gave me to pop out of the bubble society created around me.
Havent smoked in a couple of months because of exams tho. Cant get anything done while smoking.
this isnt the same as being dumb however. it just makes you so just dont really care about day-to-day stuff because you see things from a different angle while high.
your comment just shows how fucking biased you are and that you never tried weed more than like 10 times ever.
>>74301811
Because it is for the weak minded and promotes an irresponsible lifestyle. Other than that I don't care. Legalize it and fuck up your life.
The problem here is that in my country if someone fucks up his life, the government will give him/here taxpayer money to live and carry on with their irresponsible lifestyle. I'm strongly against it.
So if I live in a socialist country with a social security system, I will be against it.
However, if I live in a free country where you are responsible for your choices, aka you fuck up, it's your problem. I have no problem with weed being legal in that case.
I want to add that the argument that "if you drink alcohol but are against weed then you are an hypocrite" is stupid. People who drink to get drunk are not socially accepted. Why should I accept someone you smoke to get high ?
>>74301811
I think it should be legal. It would be a good form of tax revenue, and I don't think it's as harmful as something like cigarettes.
Also, I don't smoke it so I don't care if it makes people stupid.
>>74303385
I actually saw a video from Huffington or some other such bullshit site saying that weed being legalised was racist because nogs who'd previously been punished for illegal possession couldn't enjoy it now that it was legal or something along those lines.
It should be legal and is much safer and healthier than alcohol aka the liquid Jew

Coffee containing caffeine can cause insomnia, nervousness and restlessness, stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, increased heart and breathing rate, and other side effects. Consuming large amounts of coffee might also cause headache, anxiety, agitation, ringing in the ears, and irregular heartbeats.
I don't know if I agree that it should be illegal, but if you have kids, and you're willing to risk going to jail over this trivial shit, you're a terrible fucking parent.
I can't sympathize with this

Yeah he's retarded. A lot of old people can't drink caffeine can give them heart problems/heart attacks. I thought everyone knew that.
You can go to a restaurant and have a beer and be fine to drive. A single beer won't have any psychoactive affect. Meanwhile, smoking pot has an immediate psychoactive release and is going to make driving more dangerous for both you and the innocent people minding their own business. Not only this, but there's no practical way to gauge the intoxication level of somebody who's been using pot. We can't do a breathalizer equivalent for marijuana. There's no way to enforce it the safety laws, meaning they're easier to undermine, therefor putting more innocents in harm's way just so dumbasses can get their high.

Wrong. I would make alcohol and tobacco illegal in a heartbeat if I could, but it's just not feasible in our society.
The great thing about marijuana is that we can still suppress the degenerate faggots who use it by getting them arrested. Die, druggie faggots.
>ther than MUH DEGENERACY please make one good point why weed should be illegal
Really? Just one good point? Okay.
Currently, we have a cultural climate which wrongly says "weed is the safest plant in the world man, it can totally do no wrong, man!" which is unequivocally FALSE. This meme was generated by moronic druggies who read "marijuana cannot cause death by overdose" (true) and decided to interpret that as "marijuana cannot cause any sort of problem in any person's life EVER, ever, EVER!" because they are too fucking stoned to comprehend a simple sentence.
Marijuana has the capability to cause MANY problems in the lives of people who use it, as well as in other peoples' lives. For example:
-Car accidents.
-Workplace-related injuries.
-Non-workplace related injuries.
-Mental illness.
-Apathy.
-Underachievement.
-Degeneracy. ("I love masturbating while high!")
-Et cetera.
The biggest reason why marijuana should remain illegal is this: Fuck you, that's why. Kiss my ass, you degenerate stoner faggot.

Other more dangerous things being legal isn't a good reason for this to be legal.
However, it should be legal for other reasons. On the basis of grown ass adults don't need big brother to tell them something is bad and to jail them for doing it. We didn't make it illegal off of a health basis, because if we did then plenty of other things need to be criminalized immediately.
I broke my leg rock climbing, therefore climbing must be illegal. Because think of the poor children.
If cannabis really did turn everyone into literal bernouts then this country wouldn't be able to function, chances are you've come across a smoker in a professional position and didn't even know it.

To be clear, I don't think anybody actually dislikes the plant. I think everybody is just tired of the cannabis crybabies who think that THC is a panacea and that it cures everything from cancer to lumbago to sciatica.

>>74312221
and let's say we did imprison everyone that smokes marijuana, in order for prohibition to work.
It costs about $30,000 a year per person to keep people in prison. That's not even counting how many new prisons would need to be constructed, at taxpayer cost, to house all these inmates.
$30,000*40,000,000 is $1.2 trillion dollars a year.
That's double our defense budget.
That's 1.5x what social security costs us, the single most expensive item in our budget.
That's not even counting the lost revenue of not having those people working and paying taxes, but rather sitting in jail.

As I noted, caffeine as a pure substance in dangerous, so any sort of powder mix that contains powdered caffeine is probably dangerous.
You're talking about drinking 8-10 cups of coffee a day and being worried about a moderate increase in heart rate and blood pressure. That's total nonsense. Nobody is doing that. In routine doses (a few cups of coffee/tea a day), caffeine is absolutely harmless, just like Marijuana.

Autists pls.
The main argument for its legalization is in its ability to relieve the pain and reduce the symptoms of HIV/AIDS, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and sufferers of glaucoma to name a few. However the pain relieving effects of marijuana only last a few hours and prescribing precise dosages is near impossible since the compound that causes pain relief, THC, and the amount found in different strains and even plants of the same variety isn't consistent and affects it everyone differently.
Furthermore a more thorough application of marijuana’s undeniable medical benefits is through capsules and tinctures of refined oils with known concentrations, this method of delivery undermines that to incorporate marijuana into medicine requires smoking of it to be legalized.
Smoking marijuana causes the exact same respiratory issues as smoking any other substances so while potheads are shouting "it's healthy for you" their lungs are filling up with tar.
Medicinal marijuana encourages a culture of self-prescription and lying. People say they smoke marijuana because "it helps me sleep," "it helps my anxiety" So? taking morphine helps when I'm in pain but I don't self-prescribe and seek it out illegally.
Using marijuana to treat mental health issues is retarded escapism, in what universe is smoking yourself stupid a form of therapy for being anxious or depressed? If these people are so concerned about treating their symptoms how come they never visit doctors? Psychologists? Sleep pathologists?
The NCBI found that Cannabis intoxication can lead to acute psychosis and a later development of psychosis, on top of that point if patients have existing mental health issues such as schizophrenia, anxiety and depression they can experience worsened symptoms with use
It's no different to trans people, they indulge themselves and avoid seeking professional help like the plague because they know what they are doing is not the answer. And before anyone wants to say

Oh and let's not forget, you also create MORE POTENT product, because it's easier to smuggle in smaller volumes that give the same effect. During alcohol prohibition less people drank beer and wine and more people drank spirits, because spirits were easier to smuggle.
Remember all those statistics about the marijuana of today being 40% more potent than the weed of the 60's? Thank Prohibition for that. Prohibition is also why we have dabbing.
Had weed gained in popularity and remained legal, instead you'd have lower THC weed that was bred in strains for flavor instead of how powerful of a high it gets, it'd frankly be like microbrewing or winemaking. People don't make wine and beer for fucking you up as fast as possible, they make drinks that they like the taste of that go down smooth.
Marijuana would be the same, and in states that have legalized it, that trend is starting to happen. People don't always want to smoke and get completely stoned out of their gourd. Sometimes, they'd like a lighter more flavorful smoke that just relaxes them a little after work.
As you push towards legalization, potency of consumer Marijuana will go down for the most part, quality will go up, tax revenue will go up.

american PSYCHOLOGICAL assocation???
psychology is agenda driven pseudoscience.
it is literally witch doctoring.
this shit is sponsored by the same govt shills who told us "Drugs R Bad M'Kay" while denying their own scientific studies that determined that cannabis was HARMLESS
the same clowns who claimed cigarettes are just as addictive as heroin, but quitting smoking is not terribly difficult (personal experience), while quitting heroin cold turkey can KILL YOU.
the same faggots who told us a few sand niggers in conjunction with a cave dwelling hermit did 9/11 when they knew all along the saudi govt was behind it.
when habitual liars tell you some wacky ass shit, you should ask yourself if they might be lying again.

You realize your body will metabolize 90mg or pure caffeine the same way it will metabolize 90mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee right?
If you answer this incorrectly, you are truly a lost cause.
Let this be your lesson, folks. Dude weedisms are no longer sufficient arguments. Indeed, they aren't even arguments to begin with!
Come back with something predicated on natural rights and liberty, and it might be worth reading.
>>74301811
Alcohol probably shouldn't be either. I can't control my use and it ends bad. Not saying this will be the case for all, but the fact that it is A case at ALL should be cause for discussion.
>>74304084
Thanks for proving him right
I hate this anti-weed faggots, i hope you know that Hitler put our soldiers on Meth? Everything that can improve the mind, can cure sicknesses, can help to cope with life, should be legal, everything should be legal.
If humans can't controll themselves we are proven to be degenerate animals and should use drugs til we destroy our selves. Because we are not worthy of this life, when we can't even controll our urges.
Legalize it, at least for sick persons.
Smoking anything is not good for you, even smoking cock.

>You realize your body will metabolize 90mg or pure caffeine the same way it will metabolize 90mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee right?
A pound is a pound is a pound. The primary difference is that you're not going to shotgun a carafe of coffee while your buds are cheering you on. A mere spoonful of pure caffeine or THC is enough to kill you.
The fineness of that line when dealing with pure substances is the risk.
>>74315323
Speaking from a personal experience standpoint, weed is far less dangerous then alcohol.
Weed will just make you lazy, hungry, and stupid. Alcohol on the other hand can completely destroy most of your organs through excessive use.
I don't know how I didn't get liver damage from drinking half a handle of whiskey a day.
>>74315029
Hes just silly.
People can give themselves mild heart palpitations from taking fairly low doses. Not everyone handles it the same way.
Like everything in life, you need a deal of personal responsibility, and moderation. I've got no problem drinking 300mg of caffeine in the morning and feeling like a god in the gym, but I wouldn't ever tell some random person that its a safe dose for them to take instantly and for a long period of time.
>>74303563

Common sense.
I don't need a citation to know that weed impairs your ability to think any more than I need one to tell me fire is hot.

Those are stupid too, but there's no sub-culture built up around them that promotes laziness.
I live in Oregon and all it means is that cops have more time/resources to deal with real crime and schools get extra funding from the taxes off of it.

they tried pure THC in pill form, it turned out to not be a good idea. The pill was called Marinol, it was a synthesized form of THC. The dose was really high and when you gave it to cancer patients they weren't just high they were UNCOMFORTABLY stoned. Like they were so wasted they were hallucinating, and they didn't want to be.
A big part of the reason is because THC by itself is a mild hallucinogen. Normally when people smoke pot the other cannibinoids modulate the effect of the THC. Low CBD high THC strains cause more anxiety and "freaking out" than strains with higher CBD concentrations.
THC by itself has fewer medical applications too. It stimulates appetite which is good for chemo/AIDS patients, it lowers intraocular pressure for Glaucoma, but it's pain relief is really mild. CBD on the other hand is a very powerful antiinflammatory, anti-emitic, and anti-spasmodic, it has a much wider range of clinical applications.
But until governments reschedule it so that it can be researched more and prescribed, you won't get the accurate dosages that you need.

He shows it the other apes, apes recreate the tools.
Boom - humans are created.
Regulations always slow down the Evolution of the mind.
Everything should be legal that nature gives us.
It can literally give us an step forwards in the evoultion of mind, the universe created this plants, these receptors in our brain, just so we can use it.

Dependency on anything is bad really, caffeine dependency is well, just socially accepted, and nicotine to an extent, but any more than that is problematic.
I'm all for people having a drink or two to unwind with dinner. Maybe a little bit more for celebratory purposes on infrequent occasions, holidays, birthdays, weddings, stuff like that.
But dependency on alcohol? Have some self restraint and don't get to that point.
Weed same thing.. a little bit once or twice a week, okay, fine.
Every day? dude seriously get a grip on yourself.
Either way I think you should be making that decision and not the government.

>The pill was called Marinol, it was a synthesized form of THC. The dose was really high and when you gave it to cancer patients they weren't just high they were UNCOMFORTABLY stoned
Citation on this? I can't find any of this in the user reviews from people who actually took it.
They didn't like it because it was ONLY THC, which has less therapeutic value on it's own compared to THC + CBD. There's also a list of Flavonoids, Terpenes & Terpenoids that weren't in it as well, which all have some therapeutic effect as well.
>From a general therapeutic perspective THC and CBD have important effects on one another when ingested together. When present along with THC, CBD prolongs the effects of THC-therapy by inhibiting the breakdown process of THC in our liver. If the THC breakdown is inhibited, its effects persist longer. When appreciable amounts of CBD (>4% CBD by weight for flowers) are ingested along with THC, the CBD may reduce the psychoactivity many patients would normally experience from the THC present. Exciting studies that are currently being conducted at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco are demonstrating that specific amounts of THC and CBD injected into breast and brain tumors can eliminate those tumors completely, in 30 days.

People used drugs for all eternity, incense used in ancient greece temples where "oracles" told the future, were heavenly burned and breathed in, creating an mass trance like state, where people brainstormed.
Other example are tribes, from which we also descended, using mushrooms, weed, mixtures for rituals, seeing new things they couldn't possibly invent with their noisy mind all the time, most of the geniuses of our time told us that they got their ideas in moments of stillness, that's the same, they were alone, full inside their mind, creating things in another world, what is their mind.
people that always live in the outside, never get this, that's why jews don't want weed, mushrooms, etc to be legalised, they are afraid that we could see through their lies.

I don't have a problem with the drug itself. It's the type of people who do weed. I only had 1 experience through a "friend" who would smoke it all the time. All he would do is talk about weed, his car smelled like weed, he would boast about being high, get his "munchies" and we always needed to stop someplace to feed him. Seriously annoying.

To be fair, though, the difference in LD50 between pure THC and Caffeine is only about 28-32 grams. That's not exactly a lot.

I support the legalisation of all drugs, but their consumption/being impaired in public should be illegal and face heavy criminal charges. Public healthcare should also be absolved of their duty of care when it comes to people fucked up on drugs. If you want to take the risk you had best get private health cover/insurance.
Keep it to yourself in your own home ffs.
>>74301811
NBC did an investigation a week or two ago and found that there's almost a 50% increase in weed-related traffic accidents in states where weed is legalized. Traffic fatalities related to weed is also up nearly 50%.
This is NBC, liberal-leaning pot-supporters who typically only show stories touting benefits of weed.

>>74318176
a large part of that is because those are the states that actually have guidelines for detecting stoned driving, and can separate it from other forms of DUI.
Other states do not have any real tests for DUI for marijuana.
In states that have legalized it they have kits that swab the inside of the mouth and they can detect whether or not the driver is actively stoned on pot within a minute or two.
In states that have not legalized it, they don't even have established limits for stoned driving.
>>74318588
Don't be stupid, man. This is data that anyone can collect.
It's also common sense that if you make a brain-altering substance legal, then more people are likely to have it, and more people are likely to drive under its influence. To say there would be no increase would be absolute bullshit.
You can question the numbers if you want, but the fact remains that legalization is literally killing innocent people.
>>74318842

Obamacare made a minimal impact on the structure of US healthcare. You are still getting jewed as hard as before, don't worry, you are still a good goy.
When people have the biological pressures of pain or survival on them they are not rational decision makers (if they ever are) and the market mechanism breaks down. Without a baseline of minimum care private providers have a flame they can hold people against until they cough up whatever shekels are demanded.
>>74319378
You can't compare Portugal or any other country to America. It's like gun and alcohol deaths. We have more, because we have more cars, we have more roads, we have more people, and we have a different ratio of people who would abuse drugs. It's apples and oranges.
You're just looking for conspiracy where there is none. It's like cellphones; cellphone companies want to sell phones, they control a huge industry and links to politics, but we still know they cause tons of deaths. There's no conspiracy to hide it. Pot is nowhere near on the same level as phones.
>>74319594
>When people have the biological pressures of pain or survival on them they are not rational decision makers (if they ever are) and the market mechanism breaks down.
This is really immaterial because we also have guns. If people turn to crime to support their healthcare habit, we'll just shoot them in the act.

We can totally compare other countries. The majority of people in Portugal didn't go nuts, and drug use decreased. This was ALL drugs, not just Marijuana. Overall only a small cluster percentage of people will end up doing what you'd suggest and they have their own problems that are not just from drug use.
>That second paragraph
I think not using drugs has fried your brain, because that shit made no sense.
The increase in the number of traffic accidents and crime has negated the tax benefits collected from selling it, just as naysayers predicted.
Pot is causing a net deficit on state budgets. It won't be legal long, because money is all that matters to politicians.
>>74303131
>freedom

>>74320459
You're smoking too much dude, there's nothing complicated there. Cellphones cause more deaths than pot, and cellphones is a much more profitable industry. If people were capable, or even willing, to carry out conspiracies to hide traffic accidents and fatalities, then that would be the place you'd see it. But it doesn't, because we see stories about distracted drivers on a regular basis.
Pot matters far less, there's far less money or social benefit involved. In other words, literally nobody cares enough to skew traffic statistics, especially when potheads are going to smoke no matter what those numbers say, just like stupid cellphone users will still drive and text.
I've been diagnosed with severe depression and all the anti-depressants I was prescribed were orders of magnitude worst than weed. The side effects, the withdrawals (oh god the fucking withdrawals), and the mind-numbingly boring mundane feeling of everyday life. These so called anti-depressants spiraled my depression out of control and I had to use weed to combat the physical and psychological withdrawals I was having from the toxic shit my doctors prescribed. Don't fall for the anti-depressant meme. Doctors are no different than kikes. I used weed to wean off the other garbage and now it's been 6 weeks since I've been completely drug-free (including alcohol and caffeine). I have never felt any better. Fuck ANYBODY that says that weed has absolutely no medicinal use whatsoever. Y'all have been indoctrinated with propaganda bullshit.

you fucking retard, the whole reason why the pothead pseudoscience has been allowed to flourish (the ALL pot cures cancer and every other disease with 0 side effects argument) is because it's schedule 1.

The difference is that they have the money to keep their noses white, its the days or weeks without it that drive the addict crazy. imagine being super thirsty like you ate pretzels after working out, but there isn't any water now imagine you still have no water for 4 days. That thirst is comparable to the craving for cocaine after a day without it.
>>74320718
It's a false analogy. Cellphones don't have the same stigma and government agendas attached to it like weed does. It's been hunted for decades due to guys like Alsinger and competing paper industries trying to drown it in pseudoscientific "dangers".
>>74324723
Sounds like genetic addiction as opposed to what cocaine actually does to the average human. Not everyone falls to the chains of alcohol, only alcoholics with particular genes or poor self control do.
Additionally if they kept their noses white that much then it also inavertedly proves that cocaine isn't as medically/physically/mentally as harmful as the government would like people to believe.

>>74320349
I don't understand how any of that is a counter-argument. Weed will still be common on the streets, in the same and perhaps a bigger way than alcohol is. Teenagers can get a hold of anything, no amount of laws will change that.
I don't agree that pot should remain illegal, but you asked us to give you reasons why it should. Promoting personal responsibility is always more worthwhile than passing a frivolous law that limits a persons' freedom, and the personally responsible thing to do is not smoke weed because it makes you a dipshit.
>>74324149

Suddenly, when marijuana demonstrates a use for them, they're fine with it, but someone treating sleeping disorders, emotional instability, eating disorders, cerebral palsy and epilepsy? Absolutely unconscionable!
They literally treat marijuana like morphine instead of caffeine, which is by and far a better comparison.

You're all degenerate. Weed is the drug of lazy hippie morons.
ADHD drugs are the real drugs of champions.

I'm medically underweight and have what's essentially bipolar with a decent control over manic periods. Marijuana helps keep my appetite so I can put on weight and allows me to control the depressive periods as well as my manic periods (because, I've found, meditation doesn't help depression, just manic). I noticeably lose weight when I run out of money and can no longer afford weed, which usually results in contacts that get stale, meaning even if I gained money I wouldn't be able to pick up weed anymore.
Maybe I am a hippy, or maybe I'm just desperate for a greater control over the imbalanced chemicals in my body.
Legal, recreational marijuana (so I don't have to argue with my baby boomer doctor that I actually do benefit) would at least partially solve some of my problems. I'm sick of dealing with dishonest dealers who see nothing wrong with price manipulation and underweighing, especially when they're convinced their client only has one dealer. Expecting me to deal with them is a form of injustice.

Alcohol is the laziest drug

As opposed to

>probably have a slower day at work
At least the stoner is still working.

Or in other words, you're a degenerate. Weed is degenerate.

We don't need to legalize narcotics just to help human jetsam float through life.
The only drug you need is euthanasia.

with what? Secondhand smoke? Too bad it won't kill me, anon.
