Subject: Why is Weed illegal and Alcohol or Tobacco legal?

They tried to ban alcohol in the past, it didn't work out so well. Weed has always been Illeagal and for good reason, we have Enough drunks in our society and there's nothing we can do about them, I'd rather not have stoners walking around aswell.

I'm curious why is everyone so desperate to get high?
I wouldn't say "desperate", just bothered that a relatively harmless substance is illegal while more destructive substances are legal.

How do you desribe a high feeling? I've never done drugs but I was pretty out of it when I woke up from surgery so I'm wondering if it's the same thing.


You feel extremely relaxed and everything is just so much better.

There are a number of reasons. Some used to believe it was associated with the devil. It was a big part of the jazz scene back in the day, and by association, many racists began calling for illegalization of pot. It was also associated with Mexicans at a time when America had high tensions with Mexico. Today it remains illegal largely because of lobbying by corporate interests and a public uninformed about the true nature of the drug and its illegalization.

If they legalize weed then won't users of other drugs like coke, meth want those to be legalized too?


Cocaine, and Methamphetamine are both technically legal (Schedule II), but strict. Marijuana is completely illegal (Schedule I)

You can get both Cocaine and Methamphetamine in prescription form. Cocaine's used mainly as a topical anesthetic, but is rarely used. However Desoxyn (Methamphetamine HCL) is prescribed for AD(H)D, and narcolepsy. I myself have a prescription for Desoxyn.

You were saying?

They do already. More dangerous drugs just don't get the time of day on legalization because they're dangerous.


They are right about them being dangerous

So you can get a prescription to shoot harmful -blam!- in your blood stream?

Because it indirectly leads to death, and the government doesn't like that.

Oh wait! So does the tar in cigarettes.

Oh wait! So does nights out, getting drunk and having your decision-making skills impaired.

Oh wait! So does alcohol, when it poisons you and you fall deeply asleep, your breathing slows to almost nothing, your heart stops and/or you choke on your own vomit whilst unconscious.


But Weed is worse!.. Somehow...

I think it was in England where our former drug classification scientist officially declared it safe. And he was fired. Even though he was the scientist. And the people that fired him probably couldn't even use a Bunsen burner.

Are you really this ignorant? You take the prescription in a form of a tab orally.

Because reason and logic doesn't appear to determine what is legal, only corporate interests.


It's lunacy, considering the hundreds of thousands that die of tobacco or alcohol every year . . . compared to the zero people that die from marijuana every year.


Wouldn't say that in such a confident matter. In fact, if I recall correctly, recently, a teenager around here was responsible for a fatal automobile crash- she was under the influence of marijuana.

May not have immediate effects, but why enforce recreational use of another drug? I'd prefer to cull all drug usage, in general.

It may not be as bad as alcohol or tobacco, but it's another drug, and it has been indirectly responsible for deaths.

Truly, one could attribute all drugs, be it tobacco, alcohol, marijuana,caffeine, sugar, to indirectly causing deaths. All mind-altering substances, legal or illegal, can cause people (usually with pre-existing dispositions) to do things they may not usually do.

My point is that the health affects ALONE kill hundreds of thousands of tobacco and alcohol users a year, whereas no one has died directly due to marijuana.

Also the risk of schizophrenia is increased by it, not sure wether it's a large ammount, but I'd rather not take the risk of it, just to get high. the only thing close to being high I need is the feel the rush of adrenalin.

Yeah Winter.. it's coming.

I love The Flood. It's my go to place for relaxation. If anyone needs me, then I'll be there.

Hush. Don't let the authorities know!!

Drugs don't "cause" mental illnesses. They only act as catalysts. Meaning they trigger underlying illnesses that would have showed up sooner or later anyways.

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of our selves.

Actually, it has not always been illegal. It's only been illegal anywhere in the US since the early 1900's and nationally since 1937. Todays illegalization of marijuana is one of the only known instances in human history of the drug being illegal.

And I definitely prefer people high on pot over drunk people. Drunks are just annoying as hell.

I am an unjust ban magnet. Thank you, Qbix89, you really are a rogue moderator. I hope you get disbanded soon.

Also, hemp is a bloody good material. It would render the cotton industry obsolete. It almost did.

US decleration of independence - hemp paper.
Sails on British ships during the colonial days - Russian hemp.

Hemp has many yields a year and is more durable.

However, there are ways of minimizing the smoke, or even circumventing smoking at all, when it comes to Marijuana. (ex: bongs, vapes, edibles, tinctures, etc)

get out of here stalker

benefits of legalizing weed:

no more retarded doucheface children on XBL saying "LOL SMO3K WEED EVRYDAY XDDD" because it's illegal and therefore cool

less interest in weed, crime significantly decreased. south east asian drug lords are now boned hard

less peer pressure to smoke weed from friends because nobody will care by that point

get high maybe? idk
