Did you try 'Ann Coulter'?
Well, I understand what you're saying, and I see that you don't like the LAW on this issue, but unfortunately it should be abided by or we'll have anarchy...
Hey, I feel it's theivery to be taxed so heavely, but I will not break the law because I do not agree with it...
It frost my ass that abortion is legal, but I can't go around being a vigilanty, but I will speak out, and as you speak out, eloquently I might add, about the drug use issue it can only add to a healthy discourse on such issues.
I realized how absolutely asinine it would have been to rat on this kid for toking a joint.
Only as long as it takes to overturn it. I chuckle every time
I think of the chief reason our Drug Czar gave for opposing
Canadian, Norweigan, and British relaxation of
marijuana laws. "It might force us to have to reconsider
our policies." God forbid, eh?
Regardless of what the real issue is to keep weed illegal, do you not agree that the drug can be harmful to our society as a whole?
No, I don't. If heroin were made legal
tomorrow, would you go out and start
shooting up? Me neither. Anyway,
mj is much less harmful than booze.
Criminalizing it has turned a vast
portion of society into lawbreakers.
You can imagine the corrosive
effect this has on society. It
leads to a coarseness and disregard
for other laws that is...well...the
very degradation of society the
drugwarriors used to justify
the laws in the first place.
Do you think Canada and the
UK are going to be damaged
by relaxation of their laws?
YES - Drug use is very detrimental and corrosive to society. MJ use has been PROVEN to lead to more potent, hazardous drugs. The medical draining cost on society would be enormous...Who's gonna pay when Ten times as many people become addicted to hardcore drugs...like heroine because people can't get high enough off of pot?
Futhermore, the excuse of not legalizing pot because it leads to a coarseness and disregard for other laws is exclusively specious!
Do you mean that because pot is illegal people can't help to break other laws and have a justification for breaking those laws? ...Ah, the devil made me do it!!!
MJ might not be as harmful as some other drugs, BUT it sure as shinola can lead one down to the needle and spoon.
What bullshit. "Young people" aren't AFRAID of masturbation. What idiot believes this?
Oh, wait a minute. These are loony libs. Never mind.
It's no different than Prohibition. People
know pot is not addictive, is not deadly,
and is not a gateway drug. The law is
specious and they know. Breaking
ridiculous laws is more of a gateway to
criminality than grass is to needles
and spoons. Your argument runs onto
the shoals of bad science and propaganda.
I don't blame you for forming initial opinions
from bad data, but once apprised of the
falseness of it, clinging to verifiably false
tenets is beneath you.
Heehee...I would never have thought of that. I must be spending too much time on my computer.
Maybe this would give NARAL,Planned Parenthood and People for the American way better ways to spend their$$$$$.
