Why You Shouldn't Smoke Pot

You're killing people. Yes you! You are killing people by smoking pot. Yourself? In most cases no. Hurting yourself? Yeah.

By smoking Marijuana you are funding illegal activity that is driving out mexicans from cities and producing murder. Not to mention you are putting yourself in danger of trouble.

This is one of the reasons it should be legal though, but it is bad for you.

Thoughts?

toke jopic? haha get it? TOKE jopic. :)

I get mine legal from the Land of Pot itself.
So,shush.

toke jopic? haha get it? TOKE jopic. :)

Potheads are annoying.

Having said that, it should be legal.

*Gets popcorn tub ready* And here...we....go!

Agreed? It does make sense that using illegal drugs funds violent crime... but its the government's fault for not offering a legal alternative.

Only way they can stop it. Put drug lords out of business.

What if there's no mexicans where you live?XilePrincess

Even though it's not physically harmful for the most part, there are a number of factors that can hurt you or people around you upon smoking it. From my experiences it does impair judgment, and the fact that you can't get physically addicted opens to door for a mental addiction. I've had to work with people who smoke and they perform their jobs much better when sober. They still function correctly, but they just aren't themselves, and it can be annoying. Simply put, it's not a safe drug like poeple think it is. -Tish-

It really isn't. My mom had a seizure smoking it once back in high school. And don't say it's changed, if anything it's worse.

Legalize it then problem solvedAL_GREEN

And new problems made.

Blame the government for it's failed laws.

Who cares if someone smokes pot.

They aren't harming you :|

Sounds like the governments fault, not mine. KHAndAnime

Perfect! Instead of legalizing the drug, let's just sit around and pray to Jesus and hope he can cure all the sick people of their terrible marijuana addiction.

Because weed is required to live and totally not a vice you could do with out.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]Sounds like the governments fault, not mine. 67gt500

Yes ...so let's brainwash everybody to think that pot is bad and will make you murder your family? That's the only real way to cut off demand is with lies and fear mongering, or we can kill every hippy that likes pot.... PERFECT!.....

That sounds so much more logical than just legalizing it !

If legalized we would stop paying tax dollars for keeping people to over crowded jails on pot charges, hundreds of billions of dollars that could be used for better things like education. There would also be a huge sales tax if it were legal, which would add hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy. Oh and back to the topic, drug cartels would be losing an overwhelming chunk of their income, so their numbers will shrink along with the violence.

I don't people should just because its a stepping stone towards the meths and cocaines of the world

hahahaha. i love this thread.

Sure... but wait a minute -- all the weed users I know insist that marijuana isn't addictive...67gt500

It isn't physically addictive.

OK, let's say that pot is now legal and is grown on government farms and /or by government contractors, and is sold like tobacco at 7/11 or your local pharmacy... the price is likely to at least double, possibly even triple now that it has also become a new, huge source of tax revenue... you going to be OK with paying double for your weed? Gangsters everywhere realize that people will happily buy from black market racketeers if they can save a buck or screw the government out of tax revenue... so we're back to square one....67gt500

If anything the price would drop because of the availability of the drug, not rise. Same thing happened with alcohol during prohibition.

This post reminds me of something I thought few months ago

Ever wondered why the plant cannabis spends a lot of energy into making THC in buds that cover their seeds? It is to manipulate the outside world into cultivating her. Instead of a fruit with a fleshy edible body covering a non digestive seed, the cannabis plant invested in giving not food, but a substance that causes pleasure in order to distribute its seeds. Since it end up recruiting the most successful mammal in the world cannabis now have its gene guaranteed for as long as we exist. Also its a very successful plant itself since we cut off others plants just to give ground for us growing them. Pot is a lot smarter than we thought off :idea:

So yeah, maybe we dont need marijuanna to exist, but they surely want us to

Alright you've convinced me, I'll just grow my own :D PerfectCircles

I can guarantee that the vast majority will buy the legal pricey one. Heck I already pay 3 times more from some source which I know I wont have trouble with

Also, not even a perfect world would let us sell pot in packs like tobacco

Exactly. The enormous costs of subverting the legal system with an army of middle men doesn't help either.

Like you most people would as well. However the price of drugs would be lower if legalized. Prices sky rocket for any good once they are confined to the black market.

Our brains have cannabinoid receptors that are for THC and THC-ONLY neurotransmitters. Looks like God wanted us to smoke pot.bobaban

Good one. Nice remind

but actually, pot is the one who want us to smoke, and she already knew we have those THC receptors

I think that it should be legal

however that is to say that smoking pot isn't for everyone. The last few times I have tried it it led me to have anxiety attacks, something that I have never experienced before

Regardless once corporate power comes into play gangsters are done. They don't have a hope in hell against corps.
