Actually Katherine, marijuana is hundreds of times less dangerous than smoking cigarettes, or consuming caffeine or alcohol. And there has never been a single reported case of death or lung cancer from marijuana alone. Perhaps before you decide your position on legalization you should take a look at some of the numerous new university studies being published about it’s few health risks.

“I’ve seen a guy have a bad reaction to pot and try to kill his fiancee”

Really? You saw this, yourself, with your own two eyes? What was his name? What weapon did he use? I ask these questions, because I sincerely doubt the veracity of your claim, or possibly your interpretation of events (it was the weed that did it? Not, maybe, that he was crazy, or really couldn’t stand his fiance’?)

It seems too much like the “he was high on lsd and thought he could fly so he jumped off a building” meme.

” marajuana is about 10 times as carcinogenic as tobacco”

Yeah, I’m gonna have to go ahead and call BS on that statement, mmkay? Please get your facts straight and rejoin the conversation later.

All confiscated drugs and apparatuses get smoked/used by authorities most likely.

I don’t mind anybody smoking/drinking/whatever… I DO mind subsidizing it by way of having to pay part of the costs of someone else’s inability to cope.

Legalize marijuana.

Right after we make DUI (including with alcohol) a Mandatory-sentencing Felony.

And you give up your right to Obamacare if you get lung/face/throat/whatever cancer from it.

And if you neglect your kids while drunk/high, we remove your kids… followed by your reproductive organs. You get neither back.

Also, people should be able to sue smokers for the adverse effects of secondhand smoke. Especially since pot smoke is so much more carcinogenic.

It is extremely unlikely that making all the illegal drugs legal would increase long term usage, in fact much the data suggests it would decrease usage, while achieving all the other positive effects such as increasing users safety, providing tax cash flows, removing money from the hands of the large drug cartels and gangs, and I would add, have other positive effects, such as improving social cohesion and allowing more of a safety net for users (consider the effects that drug illegality and the associated stigma actually have…e.g. on families).
Thus all pro-”drug-war” arguments are null and void. Its about politics, money and control, plain and simple.
The war on drugs is a scam and an abomination.

If a person can work a full day’s work and come home and drink a six pack.. why can’t a person come home and unwind with a bowl or two? Oh yeah.. because there aren’t enough nonviolent offenders in the prison systems? Perhaps because we’d rather see large sums of money the government would make in taxes by regulation go to the mexican mafia?

Good detective work, there, Max.

Yeah, it’s the html version they’re using. I even tried copying and pasting something that was underlined from Word and from Excel, and it doesn’t transfer.
At least we can thank the admins for assuming we’re too stupid to notice underlined content you CAN click on, and content you can’t.

By: Maxwell The Beatlist Pope Supreme

Yeah, I’m almost 90% sure that you can’t underline on this page.

I did strike through!
underlining?

By: Maxwell The Beatlist Pope Supreme

Maxwell The Beatlist Pope Supreme — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:03:26 +0000

Pretty sure the admins are using an html service that doesn’t support underlining, to discourage people from confusing them with hyperlinks. I tried it in IE and Firefox… no go. And everything that I’ve seen says that it’s not supported in certain types of html.
