So, CaptainCourtesy, are you really going to advocate the illegal activities of this pinko here?

And btw, do you want to retract your statement that any one who supports legalization is a user?

You might be for legalization but you are outnumbered by the MILLIONS of stoners who support it to every ONE NON-SMOKER who supports it.

May I ask WHY you are for legalizing marijuana, which I may remind you, is a drug more harmful and addictive than tobacco and alcohol?

I would like to see you prove that or is that just another opinion that you are trying to foist as fact?:)

Nothing is more addictive than tobacco. Now that is a fact I know from personal experience.

Do you even smoke or are you a boy scout, so to speak, with all due respect.?

I doubt the percentage is that high. But since you made the claim, why don't you quote some stats for us. Tell us how many users vs. non-users support legalization. Please provide links.

It has been proven via research that marijuana is LESS addictive than either tobacco or alcohol. As far as harm goes, marijuana is as harmful or more in some ways than either of those drugs, not as much in others. One of the big problems with both legalizers and anti-legalizers is that both sides provide over dramatic misinformation to bolster their side. That is what you are doing right now.

My reason for legalization is this. If marijuana is legalized, the government can tax it. Combine this money with the money saved from the failed "War on Drugs" and anyone addicted can get treatment FREE. One of the biggest deterrents for addicts receiving treatment is the expense. This subsidy will relieve this problem completely and folks who are addicted to any drugs can get the help they need without worrying about the cost.
 
the money saved from the failed "War on Drugs"

This change in the War on Drugs will also have the benefit of removing crime and criminality from the neighborhoods and eliminating drug based shootings...well, except for hard drugs.
 
I don't think I've failed at anything. The only failures here are the pot smokers trying to justify their habit and the rest who say they don't smoke but support it, because I know they're lying.

I am not at all justifying my use of marijuana. I am just trying to tell you that I paid for my own weed with money I earned legaly.

I do not need to justify my use to anyone but my self. That's an american tradition. Are you unamerican?

I don't care if you used your own money to buy weed. I don't care if you get it for free, if you grow it, etc. You're still wasting money on, and using, weed and for that you should be in jail to please us non-smokers.

Great more money for more prisons

"So what"? So that's the reason why the whole issue of legalizing marijuana makes us sick.
Are you a "user" of technology? How about blenders, are you a blender "user"? Your "Everyone who supports legalizing marijuana for any purpose is a user." argument is no argument at all. Got anything else?

Marijuana is an extremely dangerous and addictive substance
So you simply ignore all of the evidence to the contrary?

and everyone who uses it is an unsuccessful leech on society.
I use marijuana for various medicinal purposes as well as for recreation. I own a small business and pay my taxes, I also do volunteer work in my community. YOU FAIL.


To legalize the substance is like discriminating against drug-free people.
Please elaborate on how you come to this conclusion.

Name me ONE non-smoker who supports legalizing weed. You won't be able to.
I could name you many many many people but their names won't mean anything to you. Instead I'll go with, the Senators and Congressmen who support legalization/decriminalization.

Non-sequitur. Please explain how that is relevant.

Are you simply being a Colbert?

Please provide the source for your information that says Marijuana is "more harmful and addictive than tobacco and alcohol".

That is a good reason but I think the best reason is... Freedom from government tyranny, i.e. liberty. ;)

I don't see Marijuana as being a cause of neighborhood criminality. Do you have a source that confirms such? Unless you're merely talking about the fact of it being illegal but you seem to be hinting that Marijuana causes street violence between local sellers, as in the crack/heroine situation in many urban population centers.

Aaahh... I get it, you are not really a serious person interested in serious debate but rather in causing trouble. What kind of hook are you using with that bait?

Crap, I guess I should have looked at his status before responding to all his retardation. :doh

No, I do not have a source. And I think you are correct. Pot dealers are a peaceful lot, as long as you are buying street quantities - dime, quarters, Zs. When you start getting into the quarter-pounds and pounds, I think you are dealing with some harder criminality, but still no visible much. I have bought a quarter-pound once. That's a LOT of pot!

With the crack/heroin/meth angle, my understanding is that you are dealing with a harder criminality at the street level, you're right. I was talking out my ass again.

Note: sonofogre is banned.

Could be a treble hook. I think he might be missing his bobber, though.:roll:

Thank you for honestly assessing your position based on my rebuttal. ;)

Just keep in mind that the average user is not buying a quarter pound or more at a time unless they plan on selling some of it to recoup their outlay. Moving from user to dealer puts one in a new category and any ensuing violence cannot be attributed to a "user".
