It's already legal in a list of states. It's likely to become legalized completely in California next time it's up, the voter turnout was something upwards of 40% for legalization. Since then the pro-marijuana force has grown more, and it's a matter of years until it's legalized in Ca.

46.5%

It doesn't matter, some people don't want Medical marijuana, and this abuse gives them more of an argument. If you really wanted Medical Marijuana, why don't you try doing something to support it proof-wise? It's a lot easier to stop, and Self Delete causes vary much more.
I believe they mean stealing it. I wouldn't be surprised. Especially since it has a bad enough reputation as it is, you'll have to try pretty hard to get people to accept it.

Stealing from dispensaries. You're making it extremely obvious that you're trolling.
Dispensaries are pretty high security and I honestly think it'd be easier to just grow your own than steal from a dispensary. If theft from them was such a problem I'm pretty sure it would be receiving at least some attention from the conservatives.

Also now you're saying that my argument in reply to yours doesn't matter simply because yours gives people on the other side a reason?
Does that mean my argument makes luddites right because that's essentially their argument? (Well, their argument is MACHINERY AM BAD, but I digress.)


Also:

The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:
Person A has position X.
Person B disregards certain key points of X and instead presents the superficially similar position Y. Thus, Y is a resulting distorted version of X and can be set up in several ways, including:

• Presenting a misrepresentation of the opponent's position.

• Quoting an opponent's words out of context — i.e. choosing quotations that misrepresent the opponent's actual intentions (see contextomy and quote mining).
• Presenting someone who defends a position poorly as the defender, then refuting that person's arguments — thus giving the appearance that every upholder of that
• position (and thus the position itself) has been defeated.

• Inventing a fictitious persona with actions or beliefs which are then criticized, implying that the person represents a group of whom the speaker is critical.

• Oversimplifying an opponent's argument, then attacking this oversimplified version.

Person B attacks position Y, concluding that X is false/incorrect/flawed.
This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious, because attacking a distorted version of a position fails to constitute an attack on the actual position.

You're doing the bolded ones.

Okay, all in all, Medical Marijuana is highly unlikely to be accepted. It has a very wide history of other abuses, therefore making it difficult for some to accept. Unless something is done, it's simply not gonna happen.

I HAVE NO ARGUMENTS LEFT SO I'M GOING TO SIMPLY REITERATE MY DISMISSAL OF EVERYTHING SAID CONTRARY TO ME AND THEN ASSUME I'M THE ONLY ONE RIGHT

But it's so true. One argument used against medical marijuana is that it might be abused. Is this false?

One argument against people being allowed to have electricity is that they might commit Self Delete with it. Is this false?
Stop loving using strawman arguments.
And if you actually LOOK at the propaganda, as in WHO loving funds it, guess who you find funds it?
The pharmaceutical industry, the tobacco industry, the alcohol industry, and various savory organizations such as the church of scientology.
The first three are obviously going to lose money if it's made legal, and I wonder why a cult like religion that doesn't want you thinking for yourself would want weed, along with pretty much all drugs in general to be illegal?

I was just sayin' :v

Your ALL BOLD CAPITAL TEXT puts your point across nicely, however. People tend to do drugs for that reason, and therefore tend to ignore the consequences. In other words: irresponsibility. Especially how some despise ethics, a basis of the human mind. In short, forgeted up.

Except cannabis has no negative consequences that are of any real substance IF you are responsible with it, and if you are irresponsible with cannabis, then you're probably irresponsible with quite a lot of things because you have to be actively trying to even become a burnout with cannabis. If you havn't noticed, over the years the propaganda has leaped to new defences and things to claim as time passes because the only things they can make claims about and still look legitimate via citing research (or abusing statistics) is by only citing the ones that researchers are still on the fence about, or citing ones that really lack any palpable research.

And you're distorting another thing that people are saying. When they say they despise ethics, they are saying they despite the fact that people tend to force their morals down the throats of others, which isn't exactly right in itself because morals are an entirely subjective thing.

And you're only proving my point.

Marijuana in it self isn't chemically or physiologically addictive, it's up to the individual whether or not they become addicted to it. It's just like Junk-Food, it tastes damn good, but if you over-do it, you'll have the consequences to pay.

Also, stop playing the "I'm a perfect christian kid because I won't ever smoke pot, I'll never become addicted because I won't try it" routine, it gets old really fast. Are you even in High-school yet, or are you only backing your argument because your parents said Marijuana is bad.

He's trolling. I don't see how you can't tell.

Oh, my mistake then.  :D

I'm against 'chemical drugs' but I think the organic's should be legal and taxed, provided it doesn't end up like cigarettes.

Funny thing, did you ever know that opium comes from a plant?
I hate to play the devils advocate, but just because it's a plant doesn't mean it's good.
Not saying weed is bad though.

Oh hey, another predictable response.
