There is a limit to how high you can get. There is none with drunkenness.
And yet, even a little bit of drunkenness impairs driving.
People that have been doing it for years pose 1/1000000 of the risk that any drunk driver would pose.
Why? Because you made that up and you feel good about it?
Also, people who smoke crack are crackheads, and there is no dependency with weed, coca cola is more addicting.
I used the term "crack heads" as a perjorative, not a suggestion that people who smoke weed also smoke crack, although obviously some of them do. The very messed up people who try to convince others that marijuana does not impair driving with absolutely no proof to back them up, are indeed crack heads.
There are no studies indicating reduced response time or poorer reflexes from weed, or basketball players would suck.
lol, you can't be serious. Basketball players do not play while stoned!
And there are no studies indicating a lot of things because the substance is illegal and expensive and therefore difficult to study. There are certainly no studies proving that weed improves or maintains response time or reflexes. But you and your fellow travelers would like us to legalize the substance so that we can study it in depth and find out all these qualities of a weed high? And meanwhile, how many people have to die while that fact finding mission is ongoing?
There is no hallucination, or severely mind altering affect from weed.
Who cares? You added the word "severely." It is a fact that a MIND ALTERING substance, alters the mind. And therefore impacts driving and the handling of heavy machinery, etc. You don't like the facts because you want to keep toking up, huh? Well we both know I'm not stopping you from doing anything, but it sounds to me more like you want to justify your behaviors than having any kind of objective discussion about it.
People that do it all the time experience nothing other than a relaxed feeling.
That's all I feel after a few drinks. And yet, my driving would be impaired if I got into a car God forbid.
If it's your first time smoking weed, you will cause an accident while driving, but on your first beer ever, driving is unsafe too. After a while you can't get past the "one beer" level, no matter how much you smoke.
What are the facts that support your assertions?
I know a doctor, a chemist, an accountant and a construction worker that drive and work with it, and you'd be lucky if they kicked your ass for calling them crackheads, because if not, I'd have to.
Oh look another keyboard warrior. I'm so scared I can hardly contain myself.
Meanwhile, explain to me the relevance that a d-bag is a chemist, accountant, or doctor by trade.
Resorting to threats doesn't make you any less incorrect.
, so people'll spray whatever in anything green, and get you high and dumb. In it's natural state, weed is not physically harmful.
That only adds to my point. That makes it worse.
Speed or mushrooms or any opiate or cocaine or, G-d forbid, meth, and any of these serious drugs will cause massive trauma to your mind. You can not very well perform anything useful with your head while on them, unless you write for the NY times or are a modern artist. There's a difference, and I sure as shoot would stake my living that if you spotted me walking, you nor anybody else would think I was a low-down crackhead, G-d forbid.
"Crack head" is a perjorative term in addition to describing an actual person who actually smokes crack. Would you prefer that I use the term d-bag instead? Jerk? Moron?
In sum:
1. It does not matter that weed is legal, it will change nothing.
That doesn't even make sense. It will change a lot of things.
2. I would rather that hippies abuse it and addle their worthless minds rather than using them to protest all that is good and decent in this here world.
3. You should focus on the real issues if you want support with the youth, even they don't care as much as you think about legalizing it as a drug, many know its industrial, nutritional and medical uses, and its current standing as the only efficient bio-fuel, not to mention its vastly superior rate of photosynthesis in comparison to trees.
"Only efficient biofuel" ? what the hell are you talking about? I am focused on very real issues, but someone started this thread, and I responded to it. When my safety and the safety of my loved ones is put at risk, then it is a real issue. And since so many states are now trying to legalize it, it is a real issue. I don't care how "cool" or "not cool" it is to talk about this topic - it needs to be discussed and considered in more than a superficial way to decide how to proceed with it. Your type of "just let me do my thing because anecdotally I believe that it's all fine and don't dare say anything about it cause kids will resent you" approach to this is absurd.
You think they've changed anything? You've been given a groundhog to bark at, so that you're the bad dog and look the part, when in reality, replacing middle eastern oil or using the materials in paper, clothes, rope, and manufacturing otherwise, as well as replacing toxic and disgusting soy products that increase breast cancer risk and make men women is still just as illegal as it was yesterday, while you go out barking and while the kids are more than happy to tear up your lawn, and the real root of the problem has made the full cycle and it is now hidden that this plant could have kept us from dependance on the middle east and multinational corporations and their garbage crap shops. Real sharp pack over here.
No comment.
