Author Topic: should marijuana be legalized for recreational use?  (Read 9379 times)

No, you don't, evidently.

Then prove me wrong. Give me an article, or a study, or any citation that proves me wrong.


I believe drugs should all be illegal, but its impossible for alcohol and tobacco to be made illegal since they're so widespread now.

The only thing that can be done is, keep other drugs from being legalised. This is my opinion.

So you're against legalization of drugs because... they're drugs...?

Yeah I mean look at all these marijuana related deaths. They're just overflowing, we need to put and end to this menace to society. loving disastrous.

If you actually believe nobody has died from marijuana use then i've lost all faith in humanity.

Oh my god you're being serious. This is hillarious.

Give us any sort of citation, article or study that shows all the people that have been killed either directly or indirectly by marijuana

Marijuana is proven to cause accelerated or irregular heartbeats. This is an isolated case and a healthy man or woman smoking marijuana isn't at risk for a fatal heart attack.

Part of the "smoking responsibly" thing is making sure that you don't smoke enough to becoming unaware of your surroundings or lose any motor functions. The man was killed by falling off a building, and was indirectly killed by marijuana, yes. But there isn't going to be a widespread problem of people falling to their death if marijuana was legalized.

This wasn't the fault of marijuana, but the result of smoking irresponsibly. It's incredibly hard to overdose on marijuana, unless you want to overdose on marijuana, or you're just stupid.

This guy was just stupid.

Oh come on, now you're just trying anything you can to defend marijuana and these deaths. It's better if it's kept illegal.

amazing

All three of those deaths would have been completely preventable, and the side-effects of smoking is crystal clear. All three of those people put themselves in danger by not realizing the small risks that come with recreational use and paid the price. This doesn't mean that marijuana should be illegal.

the same things happen with alcohol, but happen way more often because it's alcohol, many times more obtainable and therefore more abusable
weed isn't dangerous unless you make it dangerous

It reminds me a lot like alcohol, and I already made my point on alcohol, it shouldnt be legal because it causes millions of deaths a year but nothing can be done about it.

Just don't give people another legal reason to get absolutely wasted and do something life threatening.

And trust me, 3 deaths by weed? Nonono, bet there are tonnes more. There are definitely more than 3 articles in the least.

Brb I'm gonna link every alchohol related death- oh wait Id flood the forums with thousands upon thousands of deaths that have occured every year. Congrats, you probably linked the few articles existing relating to dying of marijuana (where the substance was "guilty by association" because of the user's irresponsibility. Especially that building one. Seriously?).

alcohol and weed don't cause the deaths, irresponsible people do. they basically kill themselves because they're stupid.

loving hell.


Sigh i'm done, honestly first you two were in denial about there being weed deaths and after I proved you wrong now you're in denial about there being more than 3 deaths. Trust me it is so obvious that there are many more that aren't even documented, like for alcohol, but i'm done because there's no way to prove anything on an on-line forum.

Seriously get more educated about the facts of drugs you have.
