Marijuana is NOT drug, it is a plant that no one manufactured. If everyone started smoking oak trees and got high would they outlaw those??

Be responsible with vise in life !!

I guess the facts are pretty scary eh pedro? Maybe you can ask someone to read you the truth, as you are obviously blind to it.
You are looking for an argument that doeesn’t exist. The same as you state Marijuana is addictive. I provided a link, wheres yours?
I can send you many more, to include the study done by NY state that when presented to Nixon was tossed out…not because it was wrong, but because it did not support his belief. Go back to the cave or bridge you crawled out of. Let the intelligent people discuss while you sit and gnash your teeth.

#29 It is addictive, as any other drug. Alas, you even considered to be like chocolate which is an addictive food. Get it together.

Pedro: Look it up. read the research. Not addictive. No one ever od’d on it.
It doesn’t take a college degree. Just the ability to read and examine the few facts surrounding the topic.
But, you would rather be spoon fed your facts.
I am sure you feel your opinion is correct, which is why you never bother to research it for yourself.

I didn’t say being sober was a waste of my time. I am saying I PREFER not to be. Due to circumstances beyond my control I have been stone cold sober for way to long. It is starting to chafe.

#26 This from someone who thinks being sober is a waste of time. I bow to you.

@pedro

I would say you have a PhD in demagoguery but you aren’t that good at it. I think you just have a BS in rhetoric.

#11 Damn, that MacFarlane is good.

#13 Riiiiight, unlike smoking pot to “deal with stuff”, which is the actual smart thing to do.

#20 Marijuana is not addictive. Really?! You must have a phd in rationalization. Care to tell from which community college?

Marijuana is the only “drug” that is completely harmless.

@RBG

Do you have any non-propaganda statistics that will back that up? Maybe a study from a country that isn’t so hysterically anti-drug as the US of A.

As soon as the general public & legislators clue into the fact that mj smoke & 2nd-hand smoke is just as toxic & dangerous as regular cigarette smoke, those who use & promote mj use will seem as anachronistic as a Lucky Strike TV commercial.

How about processed junk foods? In studies rats were allowed to eat processed junk foods at will for 18 hours a day. Within days they had reduced sensitivity in the pleasure centers of the brain which is a sure sign of addiction. Also, there was increased dopamine stimulation and classic withdrawal symptoms.

Using classic addiction models, junk food fits the bill – along with some obvious health problems. I’m voting for consistency. We should do random junk food screening at WalMarts.

I see everyone state “Its a drug, so it should only be used for medicine”.
Who and what classifies it as a drug? Its just a plant. Yes, it causes certain reactions when ingested. So does chocolate. So does milk.
Wake up and realize the control over you. Over what you think and do. simply because you were told it was bad, and never tried to find out why.
This is why others label these types of people ‘sheep’, because rather than looking at the facts, you would rather be lazy an listen to others, rather than take the time to find out, do the research, on your own.
(Yes, I really expect this to be played as “Well, I don’t have to try arsenic to know its bad…” My answer in advance is simply “That type of rebuttal just proves you can’t think for yourself and will use ignorance as your defense.”

Marijuana doesn’t kill anyone. You cannot OD. Yes, it causes impairment. Not as much as spending a day at the a ballgame drinking and then driving home.
Marijuana is not addictive.
It also provides clean air and fertile soil where grown. In fact, it is such a wonder plant, it would eliminate our need for the other more expensive textiles and products currently made by the major corporations. Which is one of the reasons it was outlawed.
To protect the profits of the corporations. Simply because ANYONE can plant it and grow it. How do you control something with that ability? You lie and make it a crime to even research its uses.
Profit is the only motive for all the years of BS that have been spouted about a plant that has existed longer than man.

Oregon, the hippy state no? Then don’t be surprise
