I for the life of me, will never understand why a person (grown adult) would want to support the legalization of drugs


Never thought in my lifetime this would even be a topic of discussion. I never used a drug in my life and never plan on it. I live a very successful life with out it.

Maybe to help their parent not die of self imposed starvation from alzheimers....

Nah... couldn't be that... i'm just a pothead stoner who can't form a complete sentence..

wait.

didn't i say in an earlier post that i don't use the stuff.. Heck i barely ever even drink a beer.


NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm just an oversensitive stoner DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE********>

I mean really there needs to be a new good stoner movie.. we really need to get some new stoner related catch phrases... Dude, and Stoner, and MAN... have seen far to much use in this function.

Are you aware that alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are drugs?

This isn't a discussion about making it legal to sell heroin and crack at Walgreens (although adderall is legal and prescribed to children, and it's basically meth), it's about legalizing an herb that is harmless compared to the 8 oz lime a Rita's you love so much.

I never thought that so many grown men could be scare into thinking that something is so harmful, yet they have little evidence to prove it and turn a blind eye to the drugs they love so dearly - talk about embarrassing.

Here's an idea... let me respond to this the way that MG would if he were to disagree with you W.

The reasons "W" that you can't for the life of you "comprehend" why a grown adult would want to legalize weed.

#1 You are sorely lacking in the critical thinking skills and analytic abilities needed to review studies published in various scientific and medical journals.

#2 If you been educated at Princeton, Harvard and Yale like I and the good wife have been. Those curriculae's first order of business would have been to relieve you of your "short man" syndrome, and your mind would have then been able to accept some small portion of what I have learned and know to be unimpeachable fact.

#3 Additionally although i do know that you took some time to reference some very valid studies on this matter, I don't think they merit any discussion by someone as obviously intelligent as myself.

please note that my Alter / Ego MissAimsSmallMissesSmall also agrees with me in every thing i do and say, She's is not quite as intelligent as me, however she is much more brilliant than any of you.


So go eat some cake "W" , do let the knowledgeable folks continue this discussion.

Oh and forgot to mention;

#4 As is said in the good book Thisisn'tapplicabletothisdiscussionicles 19:12 and god spoke and he said "You shall not listen to anyone other than Mathgeek, and of course his Harvard Educated wife!"

Newsflash... probably half the guys in your company do smoke weed, in addition half of the other half are probably abusing medically prescribed opitates.. .... but they are like.... well sorta really safe duuuuude...

in retrospect the percentages are probably reversed.. prob half are on prescribed opiates, and half of the other half are dope fiends who live such henious lives... you have not even figured out that they smoke occassionally.

OMG young girls made the unbelievably bad decision of smoking something not as harmful as alcohol,cigarrettes, or possibly toothpaste.

It's such a shame that they are destined now to become meth addicts, whores, and generally shameful people. It's just to bad that they won't be able to form a coherent thought anymore. If only we could do something about it like legalize the product, regulate it, Thereby taking the money out of the black market which provides it to underage girls.... ahhhhh if only if only we could do that... but alas those things are impossibru!!!!

WoW Parent of the year=^


Rather see kids smoke weed than drink beer!! You need a great Adult Parent award!!!

I have an idea! Let's register all of the drug users like sex offenders. It would be voluntary. Registrants would give up the right to vote, own guns, social security and medicaid, food stamps and any other public assistance. They don't need drivers licences and they are intelligible for treatment at Emergency Rooms unless they have their own privately owned insurance. Emergency respondents would be allowed to refuse them service. They would also be required to purchase their own liability insurance to be employed in any manner. In exchange they get complete immunity from any drug prosecution ever and free drugs supplied by the guvmet. Anyone currently in prison on drug charges could get out by registering. Failure to maintain a registration status once started would make the registrant subject to be hunted down for a bounty. Commission of any crime while a registrant (including failure to register) would be a mandatory capital sentence, and registrants would waive their constitutional rights to a jury trial. All trials and execution of sentence would be carried out by tribunal within thirty days of arrest. Anyone requesting commutation of a capital sentence could automatically receive such commutation by forfeiting US citizenship. They would then be "contracted" out to other countries as laborers, etc. The drug problem in this country would solve itself in ninety days.

This is a big government solution and I am in no way serious about it but I wonder how many drug addicts would sign right up?

You realize alcohol is a drug right? And the comment about drinking in your boat is BS. I remember a report you posted a while back. Said you got your limit or trout now you were working on your limit of these...and you had a pic of a salty grub on a jighead hooked to a miller light can.
