marijuana legalized in oregon

[comr4de]

stuff, I got one upped in conservativeness.


I mean I don't want to keep something illegal becuase it's illegal, that's silly.
There has to be a benefit to it.

Oh god this should cause a stuffstorm

I mean I'm not a fan of legalization either. However it should be treated as a mental illness, not a crime.

I think it should only be used in a private place or with friends at a private place.
Gong out in public while high or smoking in public both should be illegal, just like how public intoxication is acted upon in some states, or how smoking a cig near a public establishment is not allowed (unless allowed ofc, like a smoking patio or a bar)

I dont give a stuff if you smoke it at home. its your choice and you are in a safe place.

Also, the only addictive thing about pot is the effects of it. I think it should stay at the age of 21 like in colorado. Like alcohol, it does inhibit decisions and can be dangerous to others in certain situations.

so does alcohol

alcohol's "recreational" usage would be as much as your body can handle BEFORE getting drunk, in which case it has no immediately bad effects or damage.
Getting drunk is a whole other scenario.

tobacco also has long term effects (i stated this earlier) but quite honestly I don't have an opinion on tobacco.

Badspot can smoke weed now. Maybe he will get so high that he'll release v22.

As for my view of marijuana, I don't think I really care if it gets legalized, as long as the amount that you can buy is strictly regulated. Clearly, there will be people trying to get around that limit through dealers or by their own manufacturing. But I think in terms of retail, it should probably be okay in a set amount (1-2oz). I personally think that alcohol purchases should be regulated in some way too.

You're not the only one. I completely disagree with the legalization of any drug/currently illegal activity.

The government shouldn't decide what anyone can or can't in their own body.

do you not understand how alcohol works either?
you dont go from completely calm and collected being to stufffaced drunk with no steps in between, and marijuana is the same way

I didn't say that; and yes I know how alcohol works because I have parents who drink it at a safe level.
My intention is that it's perfectly safe unless you're drunk.

What, pot use?
I mean I don't really think someone in prison for having a gram of pot is necessarily productive, but I don't really have a problem with society/government dictating that some behaviors are culturally harmful.

It's clear you don't know what you're talking about either.

[comr4de]

What, pot use?

Narcotics in general.

If da gubmint is gonna dictate morals some consistency would be nice lol

no I don't lol

[Headcrab Zombie]

However it should be treated as a mental illness

What, addiction?
Pretty sure if you're addicted you can go to a treatment center with no legal consequences
I think it's only possession/use that's illegal

it's perfectly safe unless you're drunk.

0.08% BAC - DRUNK
0.079999% BAC - NOT DRUNK AND TOTALLY SAFE LOL
no it doesn't work that way, that's what frankie is trying to say
