There are still a lot of old trips that still believe that marijuana is more harmfull than bacon . They're dying off though .

My fault. I knew better than to step between you dudes and your dope. I asked for it.

Yup. I think I am done here. I tried to discuss the issue from the perspective of whether there was a reason for the law or not, and wound up being painted as a prohibitionist.

Never did I say mj was better or worse than anything else that is currently legal. Knee-jerk reaction posts made it sound that way, however. Bah.

I still think the arguments forwarded boil down to "people are going to do it anyway, so it's a waste of money to try to stop it". THAT is a silly reason to repeal ANY law.

Not just a law, but a bloated set of agencys costing us dearly and have no effect. We could have universal health care for the cost of drugs being illegal with change left over.

Kieran... "my dope"? Well I dunno about that.. I actually posted something in regards to the laws and government policy, however, you decided to sweep me in with the other guys in this thread.

I ain't painting anyone with a brush, someone just painted me tho...

If you care to repeat that nonsense again, I can repeat myself too. Yes, that reason is very silly. But it's your reason - not ours.

Apologies, SW, not my intention. I take this to mean you don't smoke mj? I thought in another thread you mentioned doing it.

No reason for you to pull your comments if you have them, though. I pulled mine because I seem to be failing miserably to express the viewpoint I hold.

Anyway, think I'll leave this utopia for a while. Believe it or not, I don't come here to see how many guys I can piss off a day, though it's beginning to seem that way.

Kieran, forget it. I left this thread because I realized 2 days ago it's fighting a losing battle- according to proponents of lefgalized marijuana and other harder drugs the way to combat crime is to give away heroin, crank, LSD or whatever to whoever wants it. Obviously they don't understand that having legalized drugs doesn't end the burden a drug addict is to society because a drug addict still won't work, still won't function and still won't do anything but do drugs and be drug addicts. Think of it as feeding pigeons- the more food you provide the more pigeons show up.

Who cares if the loser still continues buying the same amount of drugs and has problems? Let him be happy that the drugs will be cheap, clean and in convenient dozage. No need to risk his life robbing me so often.

I only care that the same amount of drugs is sold by legal US merchants with limits on advertising than by illegal foreign crime lords with no limits at all.

I will deal with my children not becoming junkies and your drug war makes it more difficult for me - not easier.
