[NEWS] DEA declares marijuana has no medical benefit, will remain illegal

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

anyways here's my opinion: i believe that it should stay illegal because it has almost no place to be used in medicine. people only use it for recreational purposes. there are multiple alternatives to whatever problem you're encountering but people choose to use weed instead of an alternative because it gets them high.
as i've stated before a while ago this is also a highly personal matter as i've lost a lot of friends to weed. their way of thinking and personality has changed drastically after they've started smoking it and i don't want it to happen to any more friends.

That's a pretty weak reason to make something illegal. I don't look at weebs and think "We need to illegalize anime"(as nice as that might be). I don't look at fat people and think "We need to illegalize unhealthy foods." If a person is weak enough to let weed overtake them, that's their own fault. You aren't going to like this, but you're friends would have to be pretty stuffty people to let that happen to them. A person can smoke and be perfectly productive. Everything in moderation.

the difference is that people aren't claiming that alcohol and tobacco cure cancer
also yes smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol should be illegal because for some reason they are legal forms of self harm

"Marijuana can have legitimate medicinal purposes"
"nuh-uh"

Who said that it cured cancer?? People have been asserting since the beginning that CBD is useful as a medicine, that's all.

i wasn't talking about anyone in this thread but a lot of people had been thinking that cbd for use during chemotherapy to help w/ pain = cures cancer

the US tried banning alcohol before, if you remember that

Assuming that he isn't joking, one guy being a dumbass is not the same as what everyone else thinks. Quit being dumb.

And those people are stupid. Are you against marijuana being used as a medicine, such as in oil form?

i dug myself another hole (for the possibly 14th time) and the only way to get out of it is to stop responding

Here's one thing most people don't realize about weed: so many loving people do it. People you don't even think would. Weed smokers look like everyone, on all age ranges. They don't change at all. Does casual beers at a restaurant or in the home cause people to become raging handicaps? 95% of the time, no. I actually remember you saying that now, and I think my observation stands: they probably weren't great people to begin with. Might be hard to swallow or even see, considering you probably still think fondly of their "past" selves, but I honestly think that's what the issue is. That's not to say that, yes, some people become loving handicaps when they start smoking. The whole "weed culture" yolo 420 garbage is annoying. People who really get into that need to just step the forget back.

Just because emofreak says it cures cancer doesn't mean literally everyone says that. And Alyx was blatantly joking, I'm actually baffled that you didn't see that.

it doesn't cure cancer but it can provide beneficial effects to counter it. nothing can cure cancer as far as humanity knows.

I honestly don't know what you expected. Why would you come into a thread if you don't know what you're talking about? You even said you don't care about weed, why would you post about it?

[Taciturn]

Can't you let Das be ignorant in peace without trying to prove that you're in the right?

[Daswiruch]

last reply because this one is actually constructive

Are you against marijuana being used as a medicine, such as in oil form?

if you're talking about cbd oil (the actually possibly medicinal part; without the thc) then yes. i'm pretty sure it's no longer marijuana at that point tho

why does anyone do anything
why did i climb a fence and puncture my hand on the pointy part when i was 3
why did i wear my 30% undried jeans to school when my mom wears my same pant size
i don't have any reasoning for my behavior and i'm not going to attempt to justify it
i dont have an answer

just a heads up, you cannot get high off of CBD. i know, because i've tried. all it did was make my cut-open leg stop hurting and my nerves at ease, washing away all of my anxiety. unfortunately i had some at like 11 at night, so i didn't' end up falling asleep until like 2 or 3 AM..

CRISPR might :^)

jairo has a good point, this won't really change anything anyway. it'll stop weed-related incarcerations if it was made legal, but as for actually getting the stuff, it's really easy at only $10/g where i'm at. if it was made legal it'd probably be taxed and be quite more expensive anyway

based on my previous replies you probably thought that i was handicapped enough to believe that cbd was the psychoactive part

There's definitely no practical way to ban it without first convincing 95%+ of the population that it needs to be banned and has no worthwhile benefits.

But I think it's hard to say that it wouldn't be ideal to have it gone.
It is a mind-numbing, reaction-slowing, dangerously addictive juice that rots your internal organs and has to be very strictly moderated in order to not cause issues, which is responsible for thousands of deaths, countless injuries, and causes numerous diseases.

But, it's ingrained in most cultures, is a massive industry, and is generally safe in the hands of most people. So it's not going anywhere any time soon.

I don't see the harm in legalizing marijuana whether or not it's harmless. I don't think it's the government's job to force good decisions on people, especially when it's so heavily debated whether or not that decision is good or bad. If the only people potheads can hurt are themselves (not that they are) then why the hell would the US government waste time making it illegal? They shouldn't be there to make us not smoke, or wear helmets when we ride motorcycles. They should be there to stop people from hurting other people (imho).

I have no plans to try any drugs anyway given my history with Xanax.
