Marijuana- Should it be Illegal?Follow

This is unfounded ********* I smoked pot nearly every single day for 8 years before I joined the army. I've never tried any form coke, any non-subscription pills, ex, or crank. I absolutely loathe alchohol too.

I have eaten shrooms, one time, and that was before I tried pot. Why mushrooms? I researched the drug before I took it: low addiction rate, low fatality rate, nice pysco effect. Why pot? I researched the drug before I took it: no fatality rate, excellent drug for relaxation, stimulation, and low health risks. Why not coke? Instant death in some circumstances...no thanks. Why not tranq's and pain killers? high addiction rates and fatality rates...no thanks. I didnt like shrooms the first time I did them, havent touched them since.

MJ...well mj and I were made for each other. Too bad our 8 year relationship was destroyed by uncle sam. Here is the real hoot, I set a date to quit, 3 weeks before my ship date to quit. I quit that day and did not think about smoking again until after I got out of the army.

I have now been out of the army since February, and have once again picked up the "habit". I have also started going to college and now bolster a 3.88 GPA at ETSU with a computer science major.

Meh, all potheads are total fuukups?? blow me.

What do you want me to do? Admire you for being a ******* pothead for eight years and not doing the "evil" drugs? Give me a ******* break. Just saying you smoked weed for eight years makes you look like a total failure.



Shrooms can kill you the first time if you take a lethal dose or can go to the hospital if your body can't handle it. Also, the only time I came close to ODing on coke was when I took ecstasy, smoked meth and did a lot of coke that night. Other than that, you'd probably die of a heart failure from coke if you did it every for a long period of time.



If you were really serious about quitting marijuana, you wouldn't pick it up after you get out of the army. It's like quitting cigarettes for any reason or goal. After you accomplish that goal and tell yourself that you're going to start smoking again, you're an addict. Period.



Congratulations! You're going to a totally ******* worthless college.



The moment I saw the words "joined the army" and "ETSU" I knew you were a ****-up. Don't try to justify yourself, it just won't work.

Hehe, someone likes typing to see the pretty words on their screen.
Dynasyt you have displayed the worst case of argumentum ad hominem I have ever seen. It's quite funny.

Joining the army makes me a loser eh? No use in attempting to explain why I did it, you'll only throw even more insignificant drivel on the screen.

ETSU is a totally ******* worthless college? It must be, Dynasty says so. ROFL. (What I find really funny is that every single nationally accredited college is subject to the exact same acedemic guidelines...)

You really are funny. Anyone who disagree's with your omnipotent OPONION is a loser. Thanks man, I've not laughed this hard in a long time. Really, I appreciate it.

Hey dumbsh*t, if you're smoking weed you're addicted to a substance, so stop saying that you can control yourself.


What are you, twelve years old? Smoking pot isn't physically addictive. It's not an arguable point. There's been mountains of research regarding it. Lighten the fuc[/b]k up. If an authority figure told you apples were evil and addictive you'd stop eating them and tell everyone who did that they were apple addicts wasting thier lives.

Some people can't deal with reality well and will turn to drugs to escape. They're better off turning to pot than alchohol. High people don't decide to get into bar fights and stab random people. High people don't beat their wives when they smoke. etc. etc.

Alochol is obviously physically addictive. Pot obviously isn't. If someone smokes pot every day for ten years and then stops they say "Gee, I wish I had some pot." If someone drinks every day for ten years and stops they get physically ill for DAYS.

Smoking pot is part of growin up in America for 90 percent of people. The 10% of closed minded fuc[b]ks without the balls to rebel or try new things are the same ten percent who join cults and burn books.

Go smoke a joint allready.

UCSB is the **** Smash. And asking me to smoke a joint is pointless, I probably smoked more weed in one week than you did in your entire life. You know your whole "I'm a rich-white-guy" attitude really doesn't go well with your pothead attitude. You're just weird.

Oh yeah! Have you ever *seen* a bannana slug? Scary freaking things. They're just one mutation away from being a really crappy Japanese monster movie...

Take it from an ex-Doonie. They really are scary. :)

You sir hurt my head terribly with the pre pubescent ramblings that you continue to spew from your *** of a mouth.

Did I smoke pot in my life?

Yes I did, but after serving time in the military I eventually out grew the want to smoke it. Smoking pot is no more lethal than drinking alchohol in my mind.

Did I try acid once?

Yes, because acid has almost no chance of actually killing you nor addicting you.

You sir said you CHOSE to do those drugs that can kill you in one shot.

But once again please show your PHD on narcotics and psychology. Because seeing as how your the expect on hard core narcotics that destroy your mind and body you should after all know all.

Hey Smash i would argue that its the Cow's fault that people get addicted to drugs.

1. Cow
2. Cow makes milk
3. Farmer makes milk into cheese
4. Pizza has cheese on it.
5. People eat Pizza
6. People buy pot
7. People order more pizza
8. People need bigger high
9. Person gets coke
10.Person get heroine
11.Person gets pizza

Vicious cycle.

The war on drugs is a war on cows. Why do you think they watch you as you drive by.......

As for smoking weed "just" to rebel, I would not recommend it. Analyze the FACTS:
It is safer than 99% of other drugs.
It was banned for the sake of the evil tobacco, cotton, and petrol industries.
It has mental and physical medicine uses.
It is cheap.
It is all natural.

Now that you know the facts, you have a reason to "rebel". I don't like people who say they do it just because it is illegal. There are many better reasons to do it.

Or do what my friends/roommates and I do: quit smoking weed for a month or two, drink more beer, let the tolerance go down, then start up again. It's amazing when you go from an eighth a day just to feel normal, to straight-up heavy drinking for awhile, then going back to weed and getting your mind blown by a single hit.

Please explain to me why I should give 2 ***** about whether I spell your name right? You obviously know who I was referring to. Argumentum ad hominem is a latin phrase that translates literally into argument against the man (or woman). It is a phrase well known to anyone who has done any type of debating. The connotative meaning is that you are attacking anyone who disagrees with you and not the ideals they are presenting to you.

Example:

Intead of trying to show how you are not arguing against the 7 or 8 other posters in here, you refocus conversation on a few grammitical errors. Argumentum ad hominum. Say it with me. Nothing belittling, just an accurate observation. Oh and just for the record, I really dont give a flying squirrels hairy ******* if you respect me or not. I just wanted to see to what extant you would continue to make yourself look like a fool.



Another side note, if you are going to judge anyones grammer, it would be a good idea to get yours right. What is facist? did you mean fascist? Anyway, personally I did it because I like challenges, and wanted the good experiences attiened in the military. Comradery, responsiblity, accountability, travel, etc... Basic training is an incredibly tough physical and mental challenge designed to "weed out" the weak.I was curious if I had what it takes to endure the adversities in basic training. Oh, by the way, I was a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Operations Technologist.



Hah, I never said it was a very prestigious college. I never said I met the MINIMUM requirements to get in, either. I also rather enjoy being in the "middle of nowhere." The lower the population dencity, the fewer morons I have to endure on a daily basis. Regardless, anyone with a passing grade has attained more enlightenment at their respective institute than have you at yours.



I find it funny, because I'm not basing what I said on opinion. Maybe if you read the posts in this thread for meaning, instead of for crap to stick in between your quotes before your mindless babble starts, you would have noticed that already. Many many many new institutes are doing research on marijuana. Read up on it.

I dont even know how I'm finding the time to reply to the mentality you have presented. Go ahead professor, grade this paper on grammer, and ignore the ideas presented. I'm done debating with you, the wall behind my computer desk holds more valued conversation.

buthrer is no way for it to be properly taxed. Why would they do it? Waht's in it for them?

I find it interesting that you can actually die from alcohol withdrawl, but not from heroin withdrawl. You may want to die, or kill yourself, but if you are strapped to a table you'd be fine in a day or two. Though I suppose it could induce a heart attack from the stress of the withdrawl...but that's no different than a roller coaster.

Barbiturates and alcohol though, withdrawl can kill ya.
