Aside from the jibber jabber about how one might obtain weed, I ask one simple question --

Why smoke in the first place? I just want to know the other side of things. I know why I haven't smoked it, and it has absolutely nothing to do with lawfulness. It's clearly a counterculture in American and other societies, meaning there must be a reason, but I never really understood.

Well firstly I never even sad marijuana should be illegal. I just said that the claim "marijuana should be illegal because alcohol is" doesn't work because of accessibility.

Secondly, your analogy with household cleaning items doesn't make sense because drinking bleach will hospitalize you. Marijuana has a chance of not, and children take alcohol from their parents with the intent of having fun/looking cool. A child with intent of drinking bleach or rat poison should probably see a therapist.

A thirdly, again, never said that. Also I don't know what weed will do for you medical wise that an actual prescribed drug won't do. Most people do weed with the intent of feeling good - not curing their depression.

So, yeah, it does make sense.

LOL A CHANCE OF NOT

Anyone hospitalized because of weed has to seriously be ****ing ******ed. Find me ONE serious incident where someone has entered the hospital, actually let me help you out.

100 million Americans have or do smoke Marijuana on a continuous basis, look up how many have been hospitalized because of it, then come back with that same argument.

Barely even .1% of smokers have been hospitalized as a result of it.

Me stating I've done it and was in a car with a high driver is not stating a personal experience - it's me answering a question you and Goten asked.

You guys have heavily flawed logic and I don't need to go into detail about personal things because I can already tell you will all have stupid replies about it, but, I can tell you that I feel better when I am not high and being high for me is boring because I already feel great regardless of being in an altered state or not.

Yeah? That's a personal opinion, if you haven't noticed most of the people here are against your opinion and enjoy the feeling, doesn't mean your wrong, just means that you have the latter of the opinions.

And which stupid replies are you referring to? All the ones opposing your opinion? Man I thought you were better than that Colin.

Not everyone feels as great as you, mental illnesses are a thing, and Marijuana is wayyyyyyyy healthier than the typically prescribed pills, did you know your body usually builds up a dependence of those and has to be built down, just like crystal ****ing meth.  

Weed isn't for everyone. It has its pros and cons but smoking anything is bad for you. If smoking isn't your thing but still want to get high then do tea or bake it with something

Yeah all of those people who got taken advantage of while under the influence sure are "******ed".

Uh good for them? Don't know what this has to do with the fact that "marijuana should be legal because alcohol is" is still a bad argument.

Also that's the one thing you commented about from my post, so I assume you agree with everything else I said?

It's not letting me quote your part about mental illness, but you clearly do not know the difference between a neurological disorder and mental illness.

How can you say that? Because some ****head crashed his car under the influence? Yet there's millions of people who drive a day stoned and don't crash their cars, yet it's insanely likely that under the influence of alcohol you will crash.

I can't believe I have to keep reiterating this, but I don't see anyone here blatantly saying that driving under the influence of Marijuana is good, we're simply stating that it's easier as a positive as opposed to alcohol.

There is plenty of people here saying that driving under the influence of weed doesn't harm your driving ability; and I have heard/seen plenty of people say that they drive better high in case no one actually said that in this thread.

I don't see why it is relevant that it is easier to drive high than drunk though; both are illegal, and more dangerous than driving sober.

Taken advantage while under the influence of Marijuana? Ohhhhh boy.

It doesn't make you ****ing helpless. Anyone who hasn't fought back or screamed was obviously already in a situation where they were helpless, so weed has nothing to do with it, or simply wanted it. So yeah those people are ******ed.

Replies like this are the stupid ones I am talking about, these statements are very arrogant.

You want personal experience? OK here's one:

My " ****ing ******ed" cousin who suffered from depression and other issues tried getting high because everyone had made it sound like it was really good, what happened? It just enhanced his depression and he tried to take his life while under the influence resulting in him being paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life.

A LOT of people injure them selves while high or end up getting put into a poor mental state, it just isn't reported as actively as alcohol related issues and people don't always make their experiences public.

This is exactly why I think all of your replies are stupid, you are pretending to know stuff you don't.

Suppose the weed didn't cause it but it was something else?

Sorry to break it to you, but I highly doubt your cousin decided to take his life based on being stoned, highly doubt. One thing I don't think you can understand, though you say you've been high is that weed doesn't make you suicidal, helpless, or unintelligent, unless you make it.

I don't know what I'm talking about? Maybe some of the points I have stated are ignorant, but a lot you have stated are ignorant.

Those people who injure themselves stoned were going to in the first place, they didn't get high and go, "OH GOD I HAVE TO END MY LIFE THIS INSTANT". No, they likely had been thinking of it before, weed doesn't make you suicidal, your cousin was obviously already suicidal.

"Enhanced his depression", please explain how it would do that.

My " ****ing ******ed" cousin

He must have been in a ******ed state of mind already to attempt suicide, not the result of THC.

Any being that would defy their pure instinct of survival and end their own existence, is yes in my opinion, ****ing ******ed.

Just trying to express that one of the two substances is evidently more dangerous yet is legal and the other isn't.

Love it when I'm right!!!

Weed has different effects and impacts on different people, it is a mind-altering substance that makes people feel and do things they may not have done otherwise (proven by you who claims it helped you go from depressed to happy).

Arrogant people who try advocating for the legalization of marijuana is a joke, you speak from personal experience and personal experience is different for everyone. You have no idea how this drug actually works outside of "it makes me feel good".

You smoke weed and are one of the most toxic and anger filled people on this forum, that says something!!!  

Alcohol works the same way. If you know that sh*t ain't good stay the hell away from it

This is the most toxic I've been in a LONG time.

And I do actually know how it works, why would I willingly put something into my body without doing research on it as to how it works and what it does, you don't think I put a **** ton of research into it before I tried it? Man I was a timid kid, I wouldn't intentionally hurt myself.

But that's in your genes apparently.

Also you were more toxic than me until you got that moderator ****. You just changed who you were, so don't go there.

I'm more sarcastic than angry. If you take my posts seriously then you're bad at picking up signs.

You're the guy who just said that it enhanced your cousins suicidal feelings, obviously you don't know how it works.  

Driving high is dangerous yes, but is it more dangerous then driving drunk? No, so should you drive high? Of course not, but trying to prove that driving under the influence of marijuana is almost the same level of driving drunk is just plain WEIRD TBH. Don't even know who brought alcohol into this discussion to begin with.
