No you didnt. you said you had real life experiences, but you refused to share. Now, you gave us your reasons for not giving us the real life experiences, but the fact still remains that you didn't give them to us. Why should I be convinced by someone that basically says, "it screwed up my life. i'm not going to tell you about it, but since I'm some random guy on a messageboard that you've never met, you should believe me." I shouldn't.

You didn't read anything I said did you? I said ask me anything about it you want. I gave you a brief over view and asked you to ask any details you want. I didn't get to last time as the thread got out of hand and got closed. You didn't know that did you? I guess I can assume that...

I told you why I didn't tell it last time before some other mod closed the thread. Unfortunately you seem to have missed all that. Sigh.... So there you go

What happened with your loved ones has nothing to do with whether marijuana is illegal or not.

Huh? Man do you link bizzar things around. Your about just incoherant on that disjointed thought.Have no idea what the heck you are even trying to say here.

It was illegal, and this still happened.

Huh agian! Another complete missread of what I said.Heck I have no idea what that is all about!

So this real-life story of yours may put MJ in a bad light, but it in no way supports prohibition.

Did you read my thoughts on the legalizaton part AT ALL?I now am prepared to say BS on trying to twist those to conclusion of my position into that. Prohibition? I do not reacall ever calling for that. Sorry but that ain't gonna fly. You just blew your credibility with me.

The prohibition that you're supporting is far worse than anything MJ could do. Remember alcohol prohibition in the 30's? Remember the crime rings and gangsters that made large quantities of $$? Al Capone? If you've studied your history, you would know that violent crime dropped significantly when the ban of alcohol was lifted. Are you trying to tell me that repealling the prohibition of marijuana will do nothing to help violent crime?

HUH!!!!??????? MORE PROHIBITION TALK...when in the world did I address crime or prohibition or ANYTHING but decriminalization? Read it. You obviously did not. And commented on them anyway. Tisk Tisk maybe if you were not so stoned you could comprehend...


Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do? I can, I have, and I will in the future too. But I will continue to go back to smoking. Why? Not because I "too weak of mind and body", but because, simply,

At this point I will just assume your not talking to me. I will just assume you have no idea what you are trying to lay on whom here. I think you mixed em all up and aimed em around at just anyone.

I like it.

Who are you quoting?

GOOD! Enjoy! [/B]

A deliberate taking out of context for fun. And as a demonstration of how it is done.

The way I see it, if as many people who drink, smoked marijuana we would have a huge rise in drug related deaths. The reason alcohol has such a high number of deaths is because a huge number of people drink irresponsibly. So if drugs ever reached that level than all heck would break loose.

"Even if it was, shouldn't it be the responsability of the American people to decide what they want in their body?"

Not in the slightest.

Does it cound as a good thing for Marijuana, that it made me alot more outgoing than I used to be, I actualy got the nerve to tell the girl that I liked that I liked her and asked her if anything could happen between us. She said know because she didn't want to mess up our friendship, and I actualy took it well too And I'm pretty much able to go right up and talk to people now.

Yeah it should be legal.

Alcohol cause much more damage, way more deaths and is much more harmful than weed. That's legal.

...more people buy alcohol...because its...legal.

If weed was legal a lot more people would buy it, and it would cause just as much damage and death...probably more

I should start smoking then...

I really dont see how that is directly related to weed at all. Good story though. It brought a tear to my eye.

Dispite evidence and ideas being presented to support why drugs (including marijuana) should be legalized, the majority of those participating in this thread prefer using partial or incomplete evidence to argue about whether pot is physicly harmful, or simply make personal attacks.

Will someone do something for me.

Please respond to anything in the following article.

Author: Harry Browne. The previous Libertarian Presidential candidate (for those who don't know, the Libertarian party is the largest party in the US, larger than all others combined).

The question for most pro-legalization people isn't whether marijuana is harmful or not, thats IRRELEVANT. Its the fact that the drug war does more harm than good.

[WicKeD_WaYz]

OK I have been convinced. There are strong reasons why MJ could and maybe even should be legal. That does not make it right, I do not plan on smoking weed weather its legal or not. Its still a poison to your body. But that is not the topic of the thread so I wont go there...

I agree!

ok i have a question. (im at school and just finished reading this whole thread.) is this about legalization of mj in general or medicinal purposes? i have no problem with it being a perscribed narcotic. people sometimes get into so much pain that they need something strong like that to kill the pain. in that circumstance i feel its ok.

i dont however feel its ok to be growing it in your backyard. i also dont feel its a good idea to be selling next to cigarettes. this comes from a few friends of mine. one of which was my best friend for over 6 years of our lives. we all had prosperous soccer careers that demanded a lot of time and dedication. they decided to start smoking pot and it led to their demise. i felt really bad that one of my best friends didnt walk with me because he felt that his free time should be spent smoking up instead of concentrating on school. even now his life still isnt set straight.

infinity bps i think its sad that you cant talk to girls without having to smoke pot. that just means you have confidence and self esteem issues.
