I REALLY didn't see this coming...

There are so many contradictions in our society all together, that I don't even know where to begin. We could argue this for the rest of our lives.

Like I said, I don't condemn anyone for smoking pot or cigarettes. I don't do it because there is no physical benefit, only physical harm; on top of the fact that it's a waste of time and money. I'd rather spend both on car audio. I drink rarely these days, and its always a good beer, and only a few at most; I don't do it to get drunk. It's like spending a few dollars on Pepsi or some other favorite beverage. Pot just seems stupid to me. If you do it, be careful, and don't do it too often. As far as legalizing it goes...in my opinion we'd see an enormous amount of our youth destroyed by addiction and other related health causes from it, as if our country isn't already massively unhealthy enough already. We aren't doing ourselves any favors but in your words giving more money for the government to fuck around with, they have enough, they just need to use it properly. That's all I have for this thread, I don't want hard feelings between fellow board members...often times that's how these threads end up.

I do agree with most people on what they say, I still say alcohol is more dangerous. But anything used in excess is bad. If you drink a beer or wine once in a while, I don't have nothing against it. Just with marijuana, used controllably, and your fine. Abuse the two drugs, then that’s were this stuff starts getting bad for you. If this stuff was used smartly, then there shouldn't be a problem with legalization.

Alcohol, and marijuana have different effects on each person. Some people can get shit done while high, some just get lazy and sleepy, then there’s the ones that just trip out.
Alcohol, same way, I work at a bar/restaurant, so I'm around a lot of drunks. I've seen 3 types of drunks. Mostly the asshole, wanna fight type drunk. The funny, and wont stop talking about anything drunk. Then the straight, can't hold alcohol, pass out type.

I also have never seen anyone get in a fight when smoking, usually when smoking your with ppl you know, so there’s a more friendly environment. When you go drinking there’s people you don't even know, and sometimes that makes it a little hostile. So IMO, if used right, and not abused, they both have benefits. I do also love the Amsterdamn fact too.

"Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit... unnatural? You know what I mean? It's nature. How do you make nature against the fucking law?"

Very true, and doesn't our country say, "In God we trust." Kinda make you wonder, if they really do trust em....lol

The difference is you CAN drink a BEER at the dinner table and not get your kids drunk, you can't smoke MJ at the dinner table without atleast giving your KIDS a contact buzz.

yeah you can....it be weird, but you can smoke a bowl at a dinner table and not give anyone around you a contact buzz. You usually have to be in a closed area like a car and be with people smoking a decent amound to get a real contact buzz.

one problem with this issue is that the majority of people (not everyone but most) that are against marijuana have never tried it and are so caught up in the social stigma that it is "bad".
