it's a great headache or nausia how ever you spell that problems
people who have trouble gaining weight and are at dangerously low amounts of bf% also can be helped too
Im just saying what is a drug in your eyes is messed up
and lol alchahol is recreational too
as is tobacco no?
far more addicting and damaging no?
all prohibition does is put power and money in criminals hands and the governments hands
if you make guns illegal all the people with guns will be criminals and the people in power/cops etc
your every day man is screwed then
prohibition of alchahol gave rise to the capones, marijuana puts power in the cartels and government dude
And if all the people smoking weed where using it for it's medicinal purposes fine, but they're not smoking medicinal marijuana are they, they're smoking cannabis green so they can get high. Just be honest for a change. I'd be more willing to outright support drug legalisation movements if they just said "I want to smoke weed because I enjoy it", after all, I enjoy cheese on toast and that's hardly good for me (I'm a fat guy with a medical condition that puts me at risk for heart attacks, cheese is very fattening). Have some integrity rather than lying and claiming you're doing this for medicinal marijuana, we both know you're not.
I'd just like to point out, I don't smoke and I'm tee-total. I do not take ANY recreational drugs of any kind. Hell, I even avoid caffeine now, so again, your standardised comebacks are not going to work on me. Try again, think before you type.
What you don't seem to realise is I agree with you, I think cannabis (and most other drugs) should be legal as a recreational drug. The government has no right dictating what you can or cannot put in your body. It would be safer to the consumer who doesn't have to worry what it's being cut with and it would remove much of the power many drug cartels have as you say. You could also put tax on the product and make some money from it, as well as providing more jobs by now needing people to grow, package, ship and sell it legally which would help the economy. I understand this argument and agree with it... I think drugs should be legal, it's your choice if you want to use them.
I ALSO think you're a damn fool if you choose to use drugs. They fúck up your social life and your health, and squander your finances. They are nothing more than an unhealthy escapism habit and a crutch for people with larger deep seated problems. If you choose to take drugs that's fine, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or accept it as socially permissible amongst my friends.
