You stoners are fun to screw with. You don’t make much sense but it is interesting.
What studies have shown is that users of harder drugs usually previously used pot - and alcohol, and tobacco; either they’re all gateway drugs and should be banned, or none are.
Pot states have turned into sh*tholes with rotten brains for voters. I get the libertarian point but the experiment is a FAILURE.
You're right. I know a guy who shut the gate on alcohol when he took up pot. In fact he quit tobacco, (Took up vaping) and completely ended his alcohol addiction. He did this because he had 2 drunk driving arrest within 4 years. When he was a daily drunk, he was mess. Now, not so much. It probably saved his life.
You have evidence that legalization caused this - or made the trend worse? Let's see it.
NobleFree destroyed you in this exchange. Anyone can read back.
How is it libertarian to legalize marijuana when people who work are going to subsidize the marijuana users?
How is it libertarian to keep alcohol legal when people who work are subsidizing the alcohol users? Is it libertarian to ban alcohol and marijuana?
I don’t waste much time on stoner debates. I worked in the construction biz for over 40 years and could go on for hours with the stories many of them told me regarding their time in prison for drug crimes. Some for possession. some for armed robbery, burglary etc because they needed money for their addiction or to pay off dealers.
Of course you probably could share some stories you read on the internets.
Drug use is destroying our society. You can justify it if you want.
Party on, Cheech.
Which is no more a wrong than possession of alcohol.
some for armed robbery, burglary etc because they needed money for their addiction or to pay off dealers.
Which basic economics says is because criminalization drives up the price.
Drug use is destroying our society.
No more so than alcohol use - and less so than criminalization, whose primary effect is to give violent criminals a monopoly on that sizeable market.
Brilliant response! Pretend you somehow know me, call names and make stuff up when it’s inordinately clear, you have no clue in this matter.
If anyone here is intoxicated, I’d guess it would be you.
The roll out to marijuana users it’s much more than for alcohol users. I will also only vote to legalize marijuana if the government doesn’t get $0.01 in tax money from it. That’s just a recipe for turning the government into a cartel.
Alcohol also isn’t a religion like marijuana is. You can talk to an alcohol or cocaine or whatever kind of drug user and they don’t care if you insult that drug. But marijuana users get angry.
The crowd was planned for 1,000, but they let in another 500 before they started turning people away. I was there. The airplane hanger was in unairconditioned and the temperature was 115 outside, but Trump supporters came anyway.
I was working at a job last year and I had a coworker who was eating edibles all day long. So I ended up having to do a lot of extra work and correct a lot of stupid mistakes.
“””If anyone here is intoxicated, I’d guess it would be you””
I do not drink and I don’t do drugs. I don’t feel the need to use mind altering substances.
I had a great chance to get to know him at the start of the 2018 campaign. We’re both pilots, both military; and more. He’s a great leader.
I’ve moved back to Florida, and out of touch. Thanks for the note.

Would you please repeat that in English? Thanks in advance!

So you also want alcohol made illegal unless government stops taxing it, correct?
