Using outliers to justify bad behavior is false representation.

do you even know what "outliers" means? Obvisouly not. Im not justifing anything... im showing you that your statement is ignorant and that just because someone chooses to use cannabis doesnt mean theyre arent capable of working, im not promoting people to go get stoned before work but what they do on there own time wont effect there work ethic or skills.

Please prompt people to be stoned, why is it okay to be belligerent in a bar but to be stoned off your gourd is "unacceptable"?

Yes, do you? It means statistical events beyond two standard deviations. Look it up- you act as if a significant majority of pot smokers are successful and well adjusted.

No, you need to stop these stereotype, marijuana has been proven to do no damage to the brain, and all that crap about marijuana making you lazy is BS. if that were true are country wouldnt be standing with the over 80 million pot smoking hard working americans that help build the economy, and canada over 1 in 4 people smoke weed. thats enough proof. so No marijuana wont magically make you successful but obvisouly you can smoke it and be successful and that is my point.

and outliers are statistical observations that are markedly different in value from the others of the sample...

Marijuana users range from every variation from Very sucessful to having a lack of knoledge, but not because of marijuana you cant tell me that most marijuana users are Unsucessful 'just cause.' 1. its rediculous and you cant prove it and 2. you dont have the right data to support your moronic hypothesis. and there alot of people out there that are going to try and fail. not because marijuana they use it because there going to fail anyways so the smoke weed and feel sorry for them selves all day maybe taking more drugs or none at all but no one ever looks at them. its always the ones that do drugs, thats not fair because cannabis isnt at fault no matter how you put it.
 
This from the same state that tried to ban soda and candy from vending machines last year. Ya, that makes a lot of sense. Go get high off your ass, but if you even so much as look at a candy bar we will hang you from the Space Needle by your thumbnails.

its a moral issue, with a corrupt theme behind it, it used to be a widely loved and widely used crop both medically and industrilly but when it cuts into buisness corps and gov take action. but america is starting to realize and thats what matters you have to be patiient and at the same time stand up for what you believe in. because as an american you have the voice not the government

Hypocrisy is not arguing against what I know to be true. That is called entertainment.

Who cares? These is nothing bad you can say about pot that booze does not do ten times as bad. You say pot makes you lazy well have you seen the households of drunks? They look just as messy as stoners and the same is true on the job. How many times have you worked with that drunk who can't show up to work on time or misses at least one day a week. As long as booze remains legal it is hypocritical to keep pot illegal because it is by far a safer drug. Drugs and booze do not cause stupidity but are a symtom of it. Not all people who drink or smoke pot are morons and it makes your argument weak by trying to say that.

I agree. Alcohol should also be illegal.

The problem is we tried that my friend and it failed just like the war on drugs is right now. The fact is people love to get screwed up and they will find a way to do it no matter what. Remember only 10% of people have serous drinking problems and you are telling 90% they can't drink because 10% can't handle it. That is not right nor is it right to say you can drink yourself to death but not smoke pot ( you agreed with that point). What about the biggest killer of all smoking and overeating(Witch is my no 1 vice)? Do we those should be illegal also? Legislating morality is a slippery slope and it hurts our freedoms.

I need to step out of my act for a moment to tell you that this is the most sound argument you have made thus far. Well done.
