Marijuana

[Ladios]

Ya know what's funny? You guys don't realize stuff-tons of your parents have at least tried it. I forgot the percent, but I reckon it's an extremely high number of how many people at least tried weed once in their life.

That's why my parents didn't explode in anger when they caught me once, they both did it. Obviously stopped. But they understood how it was, not like some christian OGM BAAAAAAAAAAD DRUGS go to church every sunday no bad things goodie-goodie people.
Actually, and this is just my opinion, I think that all 3 of those should be illegal until you're 21.

Only one more year for me.

If that were so, however I would want selective service age to be 21 as well.

also,Caffiene is a drug? I thought it was just something to make coffee addicting so starbucks and all the other coffee places would get more customers. Of course i guess to most people nowdays anything that's addicting can be considered a drug. the fact that it gives tips on how to smoke your weed makes me laugh.

Uh, of course caffeine is a drug. It's not chemically addicting, it's just a nervous accelerant.

Alcohol tobacco and Marijuana buy ages should be set to 19 years of age.

No, they shouldn't. Tobacco should be banned entirely, Marijuana should be 18 to purchase over the counter, and alcohol should remain at 21 to purchase.

I realize it actually does represent gay pride, Ephi. I was meaning it in the big picture of how us humans coordinate colors with a loveual preference. I find it very irrelevant. Which was highlighting my other point directed towards him

People attribute the rainbow to homoloveuality because it's colorful, like the personality of most homoloveuals, so the LGBT movement has made it their flag in their campaign for Civil Rights.

Wouldn't tobacco just become the next marijuana then? And more to the point isn't the reason why you want tobacco banned (I assume your reason is because it is dangerous) the same "drugs are bad" response that so many people have to marijuana?

The thing is, tobacco cigarettes are actually really loving bad for you unlike a humble marijuana joint.

So are a lot of things, isn't it your right as a person to do something that is bad for them?

Yes, and it should be my right not to deal with your horrible gaging cloud of smoke. I'm for the legalization of marijuana but I'd rather it have the same restrictions that cigarettes have when it comes to public smoking in many places. For example, in New York where I am it is illegal to smoke in most public buildings, restaurants, and bars now.

[JAW959]

So if marijuana would have laws against smoking in public places so that other people don't have to breathe it in, why ban tobacco if it follows the same laws?

Also the smoking ban was stupid, not that I particularly liked the smell of smoke in restaurants but the part that pissed me off was that businesses that the state valued (read: made money off of) got to allow smoking, that pissed me off.

[Otis Da HousKat]

I never said tobacco should be outright banned.

My dad smoked marijuana for a long time. He stopped when I was born, though.
And my mom.
And my grandma.
And my uncle.
That's all that I know for sure. I'm completely sure many more relatives.
Oh, almost forgot. My cousin got caught smoking pot. :O!
She was barely even in trouble.

Sure you could argue IT'S EVERYONE'S OWN BUSINESS WHAT THEY PUT IN THEM (which I'm not arguing is wrong, mind you), but then why wouldn't alcohol be sold to people under 18, it's their business right? Or why not just sell cyanide pills at CVS? Or Novacaine/Vicodin over the counter?

It's really difficult to distinguish everything, so basically we have to create maxims for what type of things should be banned or regulated, and I'd agree that something whose only function is detrimental should be banned, like tobacco or cocaine or heroine. But even here, now we have to completely rethink government: What is the governments purpose? Maybe the government shouldn't restrict what we can do to our own bodies. But isn't the role of government to protect the people? Do you see how confusing this all gets?

As for the smoking ban, I agree with it completely. I absolutely love walking into an establishment and not breathing loving toxic smoke while I eat. Bars should decide for themselves, however, because you are right: Their primary demographic smokes.

Wouldn't tobacco just become the next marijuana then?

And more to the point isn't the reason why you want tobacco banned (I assume your reason is because it is dangerous) the same "drugs are bad" response that so many people have to marijuana?

Possibly, yes. People have a tendency to want what they can't have so perhaps tobacco should simply be regulated more.

As for the second part, no, read my above argument.

Yes, and it should be my right not to deal with your horrible gaging cloud of smoke.

I agree completely.

HURRR CACTURD 

Actually, breathing in any kind of carcinogen can cause cancer. You never hear about someone getting cancer from Marijuana though, because they don't smoke it their whole life like people do cigarettes.

My friend bought $300 (an ounce) of weed to split between the 4 of us.

It was awesome.

Costs alot less in California, you can get half an ounce for 10 dollars here. :3
