Michigan Has pot in 2008?

[insane]

 

 

It won't get passed. I really do have to say that it's a stupid thing to do. Cigarettes, cigars, and alcohol are all bad enough and to add another drug is just stupid. People argue that pot should be legal because alcohol is but that doesn't really make any sense. Why make the bad worse?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright, how about this: why SHOULD it be illegal? It is not physically addictive. It is not deadly (or, not significantly more so than, say, chocolate doughnuts). It has significant POSITIVE effects (medical effects include pain relief and appetite stimulation; recreational effects include a "high" which some individuals find desireable.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like I said, I don't do marijuana. I just believe it should be legal.

 

 

 

Actually, it's proven that the health risks of marijuana are equal, if not greater, than that of a cigarettes. Many experts actually believe that marijuana is equal to 10 cigarettes in terms of health risks. Not only that, but it impairs your judgement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the thing is people don't smoke 60 joints a day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why SHOULD it be illegal?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should be illegal because people use government money getting off of drugs. Government money comes from me. I don't want to pay for the inability people have to control their desires.

I agree with Insane. It's like those people who use welfare to buy fancy shoes, same thing, it's misusing the privilege of welfare. Which I've never really approved of to begin with.

What?! First you said there's "only" a psychological addiction, now there's no addiction at all?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me see if I understand your logic here. Psychological addiction = your mind needs the drug, physical addiction = your body needs the drug. Either way, you as a person need the drug, so aren't they the same? Or are you stoned now?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have no respect for people like you. I had a cousin that took money from his parents to buy drugs, and when his parents finally were able to prevent him from taking their money, he killed them. He was addicted, physically, psychologically, and any other way you can think of, and two of my relatives died because of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somehow, I sincerely doubt he killed his parents over a marijuana addiction. It's not heroin, it's not crack, and it certainly isn't ecstacy. It is, if you look on the effects, less dangerous than alcohol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I see no reason of why it should be illegal, but then again, nor do I see a reason why my tax money should be used to pay healthcare for people with alcohol related health issues.

Yeah, Marijuana doesn't do anything like that. And psychological addiction means you just want to have the drug, like you wanna have a hamburger. And most of the people that smoke marijuana don't even become psychologically addicted, it's just the small minority with easily-addicted personalities. Which probably shouldn't use any drug, legal or not, anyway.

doesn't everyone smoke pot already?

[Biggieg333]

Hope it'll be legalized there, other states/countrys could follow. \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to the "Future smoke-addict" post:

 

 

 

Cannabis doesn't cause physical addiction, only psychological. :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the other hand, alcohol, has much worse effects on body & mind. Alcohol also has physical addiction, and withdrawal from alcohol can actually kill you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you watch TV, you've probably seen the new "Against Tobacco Industries" commericials. The newwest shows a guy who lost his throat partially, and uses a machine of sorts to talk. makes his voice sound wierd... ANyhow, I think pot probably would/could have the same effect on you. That makes it just as bad as alcohol, if not worse. There, I've said my part.
