Had weed killed anyone directly ?

"Of particular concern is the presence of cannabis as the sole psychoactive drug in an increasing number of road fatalities and the lack of any structural response to this problem." - Cannabis and driving: a new perspective

Here is the lethal dose rates of drugs.

This is soooooo easy.
Cannabis stays in urine for up to a month so if someone tokes a week before then gets in a wreck and kills someone. Is it weeds fault ?

Next please tell me how more people are in treatment for weed !

well i will have to agree that weed is safer than alcohol.. i smoked pot for years and not once had any of the same problems or gotten into any kind of situation as i did when i was drunk.

The problem that i think people have with pot is that it is the "gateway" drug. and in a way it is..

I probably wouldnt have eaten those mushrooms that one time if i wasnt so high and had the munchies :smokin:

Clampy
..will we see you on the cover of High Times

Maybe one day. Just maybe.

Hey MG give this a read. Dr. Gupta changed his mind based on science. Why can't you ?

" why I changed my mind on weed "

This video and article are on the medical marijuana debate, so citing it as a specific person's opinion regarding non-medical legalization seems dishonest.

The question of should doctor's be allowed to prescribe marijuana for specific medical conditions is much different than should all adults be able to purchase marijuana for recreational uses. I have not stated any view on the medical marijuana issue, only on the issue of legalization for recreational use, which is the Libertarian view and the subject of this thread.

No dr can prescribe while its in schedule 1. They can Only recommend

So current law forbids drs from prescribing the medicine they think a patient needs. Are you for rescheduling of cannabis ?

50% of the US population are in favor of legalizing marijuana, up from 12% ~50 years ago, the current standings of the vote on this thread support that. A federal legalization may be closer than you think.

You can disagree with the legalization, and you can disagree with the viewpoints set forth. Disagreeing with the data is a lot more difficult.

Keep in mind that the majority vote on this thread is for the legalization of marijuana along with federal penalties to be imposed on supplying to minors.

Quite a few statements here have thrown libertarians into the realm of Anarchists, this is a misconception an somewhat of an insult to Libertarians. We are all for mandates where they make "scents", but actively stand in opposition to government intrusion that has no logical reasoning and is implemented solely on the basis of morality and feel good legislation.

The fears set being propagated in a lot of these arguments are as fundamentally sound as the fears put forth in the gun control argument. Gun control activists have never held a gun, or been around a gun, yet they induce fear into those with a similar lack of real life experience in the same exact manner that those who have never felt or experienced the effects of pot...

The continuation of criminalizing a substance that is proven to be less threatening than alcohol is purely based on ignorance. The fact that other countries have decriminalized the substance and have seen only positive results in the form of reduced disease, dependency and crime, as well as the increase in revenue and safety is a testament to how effective the fear mongers and moral "superiors" have been in their attack on a substance they actually have no knowledge of - their so called knowledge is not based on experience, it's based on biased information that they don't care to counter study.

Where is the wisdom we've lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we've lost in information?

420 posts then close the thread. Final statements gentlemen?

It's interesting that this question was asked before on this thread and, along with others, has been conveniently avoided.

Yet, our side of the fence has answered the questions that were sent our way.

The naysayers have had their butts handed to them for almost 20 pages now... Close this bad boy down and make it a sticky, the votes are in!

Nice.

Oh it ain't done till 3 more. Shane on whoever post 421

False, completely.

Read the study again, or open you mind enough to look at all the studies on the subject matter (including those that don't support your opinion) Drug use only increased in the Netherland due to an uptick in drug tourism. Drug use among residents of the netherlands decreased. I have already linked the study substantiating that in the earlier pages of this thread.

so cannabis affects your ability to drive in pretty much the same fashion as booze? okay... great deduction... last I checked no one is pushing an agenda here of let's legalize and let every one drive around while stoned out of their gourd.

I got this. :) reserved for a final thoughts in case this thread is actually shut down.
