Asura.Chuuuuu said: lol just cuz of that? druggies :P Yep, just cuz of that.. It does have plenty of medicinal value, they just refuse to admit it.. Meanwhile tobacco with 0 medicinal value (other than keeping people from killing each other) remains completely legal, despite the fact that it kills more people in the US every year than all illegal drugs combined. It pisses me off that the govt. would deny people the only thing that helps them.

I'm skeptical.

I'm skeptical. I've known people with AIDS, they load them up with pharms and it don't help, they smoke weed and they're not in pain, and they pretty much instantly have their appetite back. What could he really of gained by lying when he said it was the only thing that helps (and why are there so many that say it) we don't even live in a state where it's legal.. So it's not like him tell me it's not the only thing that helps could find it's way back to his care provider and his card revoked.
Also the govt. and the FDA is a giant hypocrite.. Look up Marinol. It's just synthetic THC.. Obviously Marijuana isn't as dangerous as they make it out to be.. The problem with Marinol (at least back when I knew the people with AIDS) is it's prohibitively expensive.

Anecdotal fallacy, no? (Just trying to get a handle on some of these fallacy things)
I find it very hard to believe that in the majority of cases, marijuana is the only viable 'treatment.'

If you drink alcohol you have no reason or place in slamming Pot smokers.

Slips, you prolly didn't know this but tabacco is gradually getting banned in USA.
Here in Michigan, you can't smoke inside buildings like restaraunts, bars, casinos, so on, nor on some college campuses. And they're taxing the hell out of cigarettes.

I find it very hard to believe that in the majority of cases, marijuana is the only viable 'treatment.' Go look it up yourself, you'll find tons of people complaining about the meds they have to take.. Phrams have side effects, so you 'fix' one problem, only to have another... You stop the pain, but now you're nausea and can't keep food down, so they give you anti-nausea pills, which in turn causes something else, and something else..
Let me rephrase, in most cases it's the only treatment with no real negative side effects..
Chemo and Marijuana or Chemo and like 10 different pills with side effects and can even cause damage to your body.. Hmm...

I think that's all that has to be said then, in terms of illegal activities.

We've covered that I can be a hypocrite before, Flion. That doesn't change the fact that your 'You're not better if you drink' argument help little to no weight.

/sigh
I wish they would just give it to them at this point. Once it's legalized potheads won't have anything to complain about anymore. Such a trivial activity that causes so much of an uproar. Silly.

You're not better if you drink.
Unless you take the laws completely and utterly seriously.

I've driven a little buzzed before, but I made sure to wait like 1 1/2 to 2 hours before driving after my last drink. I got home fine lol This was back when I was a freshman in college tho. Now, I more or less am the DD for friends. I don't care for alcohol anymore. Especially since a friend of mine got into an accident and lost part of her memories due to drinking.

How so? You brought cigarettes into this as well. How are they the same? Or are we going to talk about anything unhealthy? And I'm sure all pot smokers smoke it as an act of protest because they think it's a silly law.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
