Get these fools hooked on pot to enslave them.

Alcohol is more addictive than pot, but we're not enslaved.

I’m embarrassed to say I’m a Pennsylvanian.

They ban cigarettes while they promote weed.

Eventually the trial lawyers will profit from the lawsuits from “victims” of smoking weed.

I think casual use probably doesn’t do any more damage than casual alcohol use(.for most people) I’ve personally known heavy duty users of cannabis that have ruined their brains and their life in general. Also people who have fragile psyches can be sent down a path to psychosis with just casual use.

They ban cigarettes

PA has not banned cigarettes.

while they promote weed.

To legalize is not to promote.

Eventually the trial lawyers will profit from the lawsuits from “victims” of smoking weed.

Like they have for alcohol users? ROTFL!

Isn’t Attorney General Josh Shapiro one of those that Soros spent a lot of money on to get elected? I know there was someone in Pennsylvania.

[kaehurowing:] Marijuana use causes brain damage, psychosis and schizophrenia.

I call BS - let's see some evidence.

I think casual use probably doesn’t do any more damage than casual alcohol use(.for most people)

Thanks for the dose of sanity.

I’ve personally known heavy duty users of cannabis that have ruined their brains and their life in general.

Heavy duty use of cannabis or alcohol are bad ideas.

Also people who have fragile psyches can be sent down a path to psychosis with just casual use.

Probably also true of alcohol.

Your retarded "meaning" - to use the term loosely - is that every thread that has to do with marijuana is "the same thread." Go swill another 40.

A lot of money in legalizing.

Seems to be contributing to the ruin of Colorado; Which states are healthier, and better places to live for non-addicts, after legalizing cannabis ?
