I'm one myself and who supports legalization and glad in my state it's legalized.
Who else thought illegalizing MJ in the past felt like a throwback to when slavery was legal in the US in a time when the white man considered themselves "superior" to those who don't look white when someone was not considered human based on the color of their skin or in 1930s/early 40s Europe in Holocaust/WWII times when Hitler never thought the jews were human?
The idea over the years even anti-MJ TV propaganda in the 70s/80s/early 90s is no different than a book that was published in the 1850s in the south of the US by Buckner Payne as a guide to why people of different color were not human especially saying things like "the negro is not a human being but one of the lower animals" as in that book it had a picture of a negro with apes like gorillas, chimps and orangutans even with monkeys as negros were considered "primates" by the whites and "inferior". “Free blacks in our country are a contagion.” – American Colonization Society, 1815-1830.
Or in 30s/40s Europe during the time of Nazis and Hitler when pamphlets were made on why Jews were not human but "rats" and "vermin" or "parasites". Even they no different than in slavery times they said ""In the eyes of the law … the slave is not a person." (Virginia Supreme Court decision, 1858) especially in the supreme court in the 19th century saying "A Negro “belongs to an inferior and subordinate class.". In 1779, Hugh Brackenridge wrote that “the life of these [aborigines] is…not human", Dr. Joseph Nott, in 1847, concluded that “the Indian…is an untamable, carnivorous animal.” Adolf Hitler proclaimed to Germany in 1923, “Jews are undoubtedly a race, but not human. The 1936 German Supreme Court declared, “The Reichsgericht itself refused to recognize Jews…as ‘persons’ in the legal sense. The Nazis and Hitler felt they were "superior" to the Jews back then and the Nazis tried to humiliate the Jews by smearing Swastikas on their synagogues and damaging the Torah. Even some people in the early 1900s were like "Negros are parasites.” – Dr. T. Brady, 1909.
also the anti-MJ propaganda back then is also no different than. even in the earlier 90s in Rwanda Africa, the Hutu city people thought the Tutsi tribes were "inferior" because they were tribes and infamous General Augustin Bizimungu said the Tutsis were "inferior cockroaches" and "Snakes".
I bet the politicians back then were hypocrites to have MJ for themselves, it's also no different than when slavery was still legal in the US, who were most likely to have sex with the slaves? the people who wanted them free and treated as equals or the slave owners who told everyone the slaves were just "lower dumb animals"?

Think of the money the government would make up for the drug war if it legalized this? Of course because they can't stay within a budget that wouldn't last long... unless the president in charge was good money...

Ha! These drugs coming into the U.S could be stopped in a week! Our government doesn't want to stop them. Sad indeed.
Legalizing this stuff? Absolutely not. The only thing it should be used for is for disease treatment.

Drugs coming into the US?
The US provides the most drugs out of any other country. Hell, their very own CIA was responsible for selling coke to some of the biggest drug dealers in American History.
And they can't ever truly put an end to drugs, especially cannabis. You can't prohibit something someone can grow in their home, or backyard.

Again, the government could stop it in a week if they wanted to. I'm referring, by the way, to the drugs smuggled within our borders.

no, they can't though. there is no way the DEA can eradicate every marijuana plant. it's hopeless.
they can spend as many taxpayer dollars as they want, but it's still going to amount to jackshit as it has ever since the 'war on drugs' began

Put an electric fence that stretches across the border, and put warships in the Gulf.
Problem solved.

That isn't going to stop drugs dude.
It's just going to be made in the country, as it is. Most marijuana comes from the States, actually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Crime in general could be stopped easily, but our government in general is too pussy to stop it. That's the worst part of all of it. The drugs and violence will just get worse, and worse, and worse, and worse, and it is all preventable, and could be stopped instantly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Actually, there are holes in laws and it is meant. No law can be completely stopped and breach-less.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. Laws are only a part of the equation. Laws are meant to solidify the standards of the culture, and they reflect that very same ideal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. They're here to tell us what we SHOULDN'T DO and what is CONSIDERED as bad.
If laws would not have breaches, lawyers, attorneys and procurers wouldn't exists, since you can't defend someone guilty or defend someone accused guilty.
Oh man I played too much Pheonix Wright and read too much books about laws...

I think you're overstating the abilities of the government. Although, I'm lucky enough to live in Canada rather than the US, so it's not nearly as bad up here as it is down there.
You can't stop violence and drugs, because so long as people exist, there will be these things. It's a part of life that we just have to deal with.
I've no problem with drugs, if that wasn't obvious enough. I believe in 'everything in moderation'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And with drugs, the moderation is what your doctor prescribes you. That's my kind of moderation.
Again, though, stopping the illegals from crossing cuts drugs in half. That could be done no problem. Dealing with it on the inside? That would be more of a challenge, I admit, but it could be fixed easily.
As one of my favorite quotes say:
In order to stop crime, scare the crap out of the people.
If that's what it takes, so be it. People should be afraid of jail, not seeing it as a place to stay for the night.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, just because a doctor is giving it to you doesn't make it any better or safer than the illegal substances.
In fact, some of the pills and such prescribed by doctors can be just as harmful as the so-called 'hard' drugs.
Jail-time doesn't help anything though. Isn't it disturbing to you that prisons in the States are being filled with non-violent drug offenders? That they sometimes serve harsher sentences than convicted rapists and murderers? And that a huge portion of the American population is stuck in some privately-owned prison? That seems fucked beyond belief. I have friends who actually came out of jail with more drug connections and opportunities than before they went in. So obviously imprisonment doesn't help.
I just don't see why people should be punished for choosing to use substances. People drink coffee, and that's more addictive and harmful than smoking a joint. Sugar is an addictive substance. Hell, anything can be addictive and harmful. I think it just depends on the person really. It's just a choice. It shouldn't warrant a jail sentence. Now if you're causing harm to others and such, under the influence or not, you should be punished. But to imprison harmless users for no reason other than possession and intoxication? Stupid.
You can't scare the crap out of people though. You can warn them all you want about the dangers, but there are ALWAYS going to be people out there who are going to commit crimes. It will never be stopped.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but those drugs have benefits. What's the benefit of hard drugs? Memory loss and seeing colors? Yeah. Very productive.
Actually, no. They deserve to be in those jails, maybe for even longer than they are. Prison sentencing and punishment have gotten so sappy and lenient in the United States. There used to be a time when people barely committed crimes at all, drugs included. Where has that time gone? A long time ago, you worked when you were put in jail. You worked hard. Is it any coincidence that jails that have chain gangs, especially the ones where the male prisoners wear embarrassing outfits, have the lowest crime rates? No, it's not. I want our prison system to be even harsher and tougher. Every last person in a jail should have to work their butt off every single day that they're in there.
Are you seriously comparing pot to caffeine? No, and here's how. Pot, first time, you get addicted. Caffeine? Who causes harm and damage under caffeine? Really? I can tell someone's smoking pot, but I can't tell if you've had a cup of coffee earlier.
The problem with society in the United States was that drugs became acceptable. Almost everything has. Drugs are dangerous and they harm everybody around them, and them themselves. That's a pure fact. People are killed every single day because someone decided to smoke some pot, but I've never seen anybody die from a cup of coffee. You can scare the citizens straight. How? Make them look at a jail and say "I never want to be there".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. What benefits does morphine have that couldn't be remedied by pot? There aren't many benefits from hard drugs, I'll admit that... but I never claimed there were ANYWAY. I just think people have the choice to use whatever substance they see fit. I see more people abusing prescription drugs than I see hard drugs, especially in the town I live in. What does that tell you?
And no, people who have done nothing wrong do not deserve to be in jail. You shouldn't be able to imprison people who are in possession of drugs, or decide to use them. So long as they are not harming anyone else, I don't see why they should automatically be shipped to prison. It's not going to help, that much I will guarantee you. It hasn't so far. America has the worst crime rates in the world, and they're chalk-full of prisons... and those prisons are full to the brim with people. idk about you, but I've yet to see how the crime rate has been effected in anyway? It's only causing more people to start opening up private prisons.
This is big corporations profiting off the misery of others.
Did you know that in the Netherlands, and other places in Europe, they have legalized ALL drugs. And, not surprisingly, you don't see NEARLY as many people abusing drugs.
You know, you really shouldn't talk about things you have no knowledge about. It just makes you look ignorant and silly.
Did you srsly just say the first time you smoke pot you get addicted? That couldn't be any further from the truth. Trust me, I smoke pot. It's NOT addictive. Habituating yes, but you don't get withdrawals from not smoking marijuana, nor do you crave a joint all the time after smoking one once. I've gotten friends, and even my sister, to try it. Some of them liked it, others didn't. None of them ended up addicted to it.
Also, who the fuck causes harm and damage while stoned? Very few people. Caffeine is a more harmful substance than marijuana. You can overdose if you drink too much coffee, believe it or not. You CANNOT overdose on marijuana. It's physically impossible.
LOL
People are killed every single day from smoking pot? Where are you pulling these facts? From your ass? Do you know how many millions of people have tried smoking marijuana, and how many smoke it even still? If people were killed every single day because someone decided to roll up and get stoned, I think we'd be seeing this shit plastered all over the place. You can't scare citizens straight. Do you have any idea how the human mind works, at all? Clearly not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was actually going to ask what you were smoking. How ironic.
Again, here's the problem. Things have become acceptable. America has the highest crime rate in the world because we tell people that it's all okay. It's not. You ask any American here, and they'll tell you what drugs do. You probably haven't seen the consequences of drugs, but I assure you, they are horrific. Were it in my power, there would be no drugs to abuse, but that's a whole different story that involves the border that I'm not willing to go into. People now have no idea about consequences. Consequences either stop people from doing something or make them do something. That's how people work. So yeah, I know how the human mind works.
Legalizing everything doesn't work. It's time we put our foot down and tell the world that no means no. It's simple; you do drugs, you go to jail. You do drugs, your life will be assured to be a living hell. That's the message that needs to be sent, but these pot-head hippies, or whatever they are, seem to want to say that it's okay.
Further, you're a liar. It's all addictive. It's basic health class material. Any doctor would laugh at you, and in a little while, some will.
By the way, someone who's on drugs is not a good candidate to ask about drugs unless they want to come off it. Just letting you know.
Hmm...I'm going to go read an article on Charlie Sheen. See ya.

Is ignorance bliss for you, or are you really just this stupid?
No. America has had the highest crime rates for some time now. And that rationale doesn't make sense either. I already made an example, that you chose to ignore... in true Christian fashion, of course. : D
LOL
I totally haven't seen the consequences of drug use, despite being a recreational user myself (obviously lol) and hanging out with dealers and friends who do them? You totally have much more experience in this field, for sure. How could I even doubt your wisdom?
No, it's not simple. You seem to be under the impression that everything is black and white... then again, you're just another Christian, so I can't say I'm entirely surprised. Legalizing everything has worked FINE for the Netherlands. It's actually proven that are less drug abusers now that they've legalized things. And the drug lords who were running Mexico at one point? They aren't anymore, because the government realized that the 'war on drugs' is impossible to win. It only strengthens organized crime.
You seem to keep thinking that it has something to do with the border. Are you aware that most drugs are coming from America? I think I've said that a number of times now.
Also, I'm not on drugs right now. Pretty sober. And someone who has experience with drugs is the perfect candidate to ask, because they actually know what the fuck they're talking about, unlike yourself.
No, I'm not a liar. Marijuana is not physically addictive. I can cite my sources, if you'd like. Health class material? LOL
Fuck, I didn't realize you were this ignorant and retarded when I bothered responding. Bad ideeaaa 'twould seem.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, you.
No, I just ignore some of your points because they make me laugh the hardest.
Most drugs come from America, but you're Canadian. Where do you think America got its drugs? Why, south of the border, amiga!
In other places, too, of course. Some even do come from the United States, but saying that the most come from there is true only to the neighbors to the North.
Not responding to the drug lord one because that was a funny thing you said...so ignoring that...
That or you could just be in denial. What would you say to someone who got off marijuana that said it is addictive? What do you say to the thousands of people who have come to speak in public that drugs are a horrible thing, all of whom got their problem fixed? Do you say they're liars, payed by the man?
Listen very carefully to me. When something has caused so much suffering, it's going to be illegal. In the United States, it will forever be illegal. Just legalizing marijuana, which I actually supported, was a heavy fight. There are a few Americans that support legalizing other drugs, you know, like you stated in your example. Never going to happen. They've been shut up, refuted, silenced. That's the way it's going to be, and that's the way it should be. There have always been drugs, but only now the United States has a drug problem, and only now, people have gotten soft on it. What do you think we should do? Return to the way things were.
That's the answer.
You ever been in a big, American city, where drugs are numerous and the drug dealers are, too? I have. Pretty much, we all know what drugs do. Your ideas are not mainstream, nor will they ever be. I hope you know that.
Good day. If you don't want to respond, then don't respond, I'm cool with that. Actually, I'd rather you not.

How could I pass up responding to your retarded bullshit?
The majority of cannabis is grown in America, which is what I meant. I recognize that most of the heroin comes from Afghanistan and Cocaine comes from Columbia, but the US profits from it, and continue to allow it through their borders. And you know where a lot of that profit comes from? Locking up non-violent drug offenders in private prisons.
derp
Y'know, the ones you support heartily.
I can tell you, from experience with marijuana users, that not one of them 'came' off of the drug ever felt addicted to it. Stop repeating the same bullshit, kay? Marijuana is a non-addictive substance. Anything has the potential to be addictive, depending on the user. In most instances, people are more liable to be addicted to caffeine and sugar than pot. Again, I'll provide some links if it will shut you the fuck up.
Drugs can be a bad thing, I'm not arguing that point. But people are going to do it regardless of whether or not you or I think it's bad. My point is, that locking people u[ for doing nothing more than consuming drugs (that the US supplies) is stupid.
I don't really support legalizing all drugs, but it's proven effective in other countries at eliminating both the criminal element and drug abuse.
Marijuana used to be legal too, and people have been smoking it for thousands of years. It was criminalized for the wrong reasons.
LOL
Only now? There's ALWAYS been a problem with substances. Alcohol is more abused than all illegal substances combined. And look at what the prohibition of alcohol did back then? It was an utter failure. There were more people overdosing, and it stimulated the proliferation of rampant underground, organized and widespread criminal activity.
Today's war on drugs is the exact same thing. It's only a matter of time before people start to clue. You're all against crime and violence, and yet you support the war on drugs which only strengthens organized crime and the like.
Dude, I live in a small town riddled and infested with 'drug dealers'
The drugs are numerous here, I can assure you. You don't need to live in a big American city to see that side of society. I hope you know that.
I'm not saying my ideas are mainstream either, darling. I'm saying you're an ignorant retard. : D
