give me a good reason why marijuana should not be legal.
>sell out of state stores >taxed at a healthy 10% >huge burden taken off our overcrowded prison system >money taken out of the hands of criminals and terrorists >money made from taxes can be used to secure the border, fix our crumbling infrastructure, or fund our overcrowded school system.
OP you forgot >no more aggressive negros/spics/wiggers roaming the streets trying to sell it
Chase Scott
They will just sell other things.
Owen Torres
the jews will lose money if its legal. so it stays illegal.
Nathan White
that kinda fits into >money taken out of the hands of criminals and terrorists
Benjamin Martin
Can confirm
Grayson Ross
I can't. It's so common right now, our countries have little to lose by legalizing it.
My issue with marijuana is that legalizing it would bring in new issues. >recreational candies, oils, syrups must be packaged in a way that does not encourage young children to be curious of it, like cigarettes and alcohol >marijuana intoxication is difficult to imperically measure when prompted; someone driving while high cannot be measured reliably for the amount of THC in their blood streams quickly >legislation will need to provided to determine how citizens can or cannot grow their own marijuana
Blake Martinez
I'd like to think that a lot of them are too afraid of methheads/crackheads/heroin addicts to do that
Oliver Martinez
Weed is a shit drug that makes you lazy and paranoid.
Jaxon Myers
It hurts the alcohol industry and the prison industrial complex
Jaxon Anderson
As well, studies must be conducted to determine the affects of daily/routine marijuana use. The results of these studies must be published by the coutrie's respective governments and used to provide legislation as to the acceptable amount of marijuana use for the public.
The other, and most glaring issue with the legalization of marijuana is that other recreational and designer drugs/narcotics will have a new platform for which they can legalize off of.
>dude pot got legalized, why can't coke be legal? or meth?
Landon Campbell
Marijuana is for dopey fake rebels who want to pretend to rebel against the system whilst taking a drug which pacifies you by only making you want to take naps and eat all day.
It's for weaklings who make themselves nonthreatening and the sad thing is they don't even know it.
Hunter Ortiz
we should ban weed, also other unhealthy frood like burgers, fast food, candy ect. anything that can lead to physical/mental health problems right guys :^)
Christopher Gutierrez
Yet folks still sell those designer drugs. Where there is a demand for the drug, there will be a supplier.
Logan Collins
There is no good reason. MOST (but not all) of the people who browse this board, and this site overall who oppose the very idea of weed being mentioned were the losers in highschool who were bullied by chads who smoked pot. So they link the two and they become synonymous. Don't get me wrong, the whole "hurrrr 420 pot cures cancer" stoner culture is absolute cancer but I've seen whiny betas on here acting like just because you smoke weed you're a degenerate. I smoke by myself, have a job, don't bother anybody while I'm smoking, and I'm going to college with a few job offers why am I not allowed to smoke? If you oppose the idea of legalization because of the cringy stoner culture I can understand but if you just bitch about it because some Chad stole your girl in highschool you're a loser who shouldn't have an opinion of the topic.
Joseph Butler
We should ban porn and anime. leads to degeneracy
Chase Bennett
Shit argument. Why not mandate and enforce government sponsered exercise programs, mental health training, lifestyles, etc?
David Evans
>Legalize drugs and people governments will see a huge jump in economy! No. Colorado's total GDP has barely changed ever since it was legalized.
Owen Gutierrez
we have to ban it for the CHIIIIIIIIILDREN
Hunter Robinson
>every person that smokes pot MUST be a lazy faggot >there has never and will never be a productive pot smoker
>dude pot got legalized, why can't coke be legal? or meth? >muh slippery slope fallacy pot has relatively few health effects compared to meth or heroin
Josiah Diaz
Too much projecting and assumptions to make an argument out of this.
Elijah Martinez
1) Legalize weed 2) Attempt to tax the shit out of it 3) People just start growing it in their back yards for free 4) No dealer to put the good shit in it
Jace Ramirez
It makes you stupid if you use reguarly.
>b-b-b-ut its non addictive. Do you seriously think those AY DABS LMAO people are using in moderation?
I understand its a matter of time before its legal but I believe it will steal away many peoples lives who arent mentally strong enough to not abuse.
Jackson Jackson
it also makes """men""" crave cock
Daniel Ortiz
I just don't want it to smell pot all over the fucking place
Jose Sanders
I can almost guarentee you that in the next 50 years, we will be seeing idiots proclaim the health benefits of coke, meth, LSD, etc. The slippery slope fallacy is not false. You give these degenerates an inch, and they'll take a mile.
Easton Jones
It's actually clinically proven to help reduce epileptic seizures and stimulate neural activity, helping to alleviate specific forms of brain cancer.
It's not a cure all, but it definitely has concretely proven medical evidence to back up its value from a medicinal perspective.
What's fucking criminal is that the DEA still has it set to Schedule 1, and that entire administration was a Nixon setup.
How is tobacco and alcohol, both killing hundreds of thousands of people annually, legal but something like cannabis isn't?
Jace Gonzalez
>tax weed at "healthy 10%" >criminals therefore by default are able to sell weed for 10% cheaper. >hurr durr we taking money out of the hands of criminals!
Alexander Gonzalez
Or maybe it just hit too close to home and you don't have an argument. I'm not doing any projecting. I was never bullied in HS bud can't say the same for you
Hudson Morris
confirmed
Ryan Evans
What about tobacco why don't criminals sell tobacco?
Ayden Adams
I agree with this. I know too many people who say "its not addictive lol," yet have to get lit up every day just to go to work. Just like alcohol, weed is addictive when you makebit a habit.
Jordan Thomas
>slippery slope >fallacy GTFO
Ayden Miller
>No dealer to put the good shit in it confirmed for never smoking weed in their life
Austin Smith
I agree with you that it has health benefits, but in my experience people use that as an excuse to get stoned everyday.
Ryder Jones
>implying capitalism won't BTFO out of these dealers >implying big pharma/farming companies will let anyone make money off of it
You must be retarded
Michael Gonzalez
Truth is that drug taxation barely makes 0.7% of the total taxes. It's a drop in the bucket.
Asher Sanchez
You're right. We let the jews live, and now you fucking leafs want to live too. Fucking slippery slope.
Matthew White
The argument for legalization is one that less pungent varieties and blends of marijuana will become available. I don't want to smell it everywhere either. I feel the same with cigarettes.
Jack Walker
>give me a good reason why marijuana should not be legal. See pic related.
Sebastian Nguyen
They do. Remember Eric Garner? Remember all the cuccs who attacked the police for "hassling him" over selling "harmless cigarettes"?
Nicholas Bailey
How is it that all these leftists are arguing to get America addicted to a taxable narcotic?
Jason Bennett
HURRR DURRR like criminals selling alcohol for less than retail price because they sell with tax?
GDP is a shitty measurement for standard of living anyway.
Jack Cook
Oh I know there are some medical properties to it but not the "'miracle cure all drug" like lots of smelly hippies try to say. Which in turn alienates people who don't smoke and makes them think smokers are uneducated jackasses
Adam Stewart
first of all, what version of those drugs are you talking about? of course cocaine is bad for you, of course crystal meth is bad for you. but chewing coca leaves won't kill you, in fact, it can be beneficial, and amphetamines are relatively ok in small doses, the Germans in WWII wouldn't have fared as well without them. And LSD can be very psychologically beneficial or harmful depending greatly on dosage, setting, personality, etc. I don't do any of these drugs but jus sayin
Noah Gonzalez
>niggers stop selling shit. What the fuck do you think they do with shit they steal?
Cameron Davis
Why SHOULD marijuana be legal? Why should a sane and healthy person smoke that shit?
It's as good as asking sniffing glue to be legal (which it is). You consume weird chemicals and get high. Why? Is there nothing else going on in your life? Why would this particular piece of shit plant be treated differently?
Weed is not legal because people really caring about its legality are useless piece of shit, a burden to society. Have you not understood that yet?
John Johnson
Don't sell with tax***
Chase Thomas
See
Caleb Wright
Even if they do it isn't a big enough percentage to matter and anyways the producers of the products would step in there would be a weed industry it would practically make no sense to do it as is the case with ciggerets
Ryan Jones
Regardless of whether a few lazy miscreants decide to toke up and be worthless, it's nowhere near as severe as a meth head or a crack fiend looking for a fix. Stoners aren't violent, they aren't neurotically addicted most of the time.
And if you ban it to stop lazy chip-eaters from smoking it, you could potentially kill thousands who suffer seizures or need it as an anti-nausea medication to keep from asphyxiating on vomit from chemo.
That actually happened to someone by the way. Guy was banned from smoking which he used to keep food down while on chemo. Ended up throwing up in the bath tub and dying from it.
These are the kinds of adverse consequences of toying with the legality of a medicinal substance.
Meanwhile fentanyl is legal and has already killed a couple thousand people In the short time that it has existed
Grayson Murphy

Who said anything about smoking weed? Edibles and vaporizer for the healthy living.

Why SHOULD anime be legal? Why should a sane and healthy person watch that shit?
It's as good as asking sniffing glue to be legal (which it is). You consume weird animation and get autistic. Why? Is there nothing else going on in your life? Why would these particular pieces of shit cartoons be treated differently?
Anime should not be legal because weebs really caring about its legality are useless piece of shit, a burden to society. Have you not understood that yet?
Tyler Long
Fuck off faggot, you have no say what is legal and what isn't in the USA. Why are you even in this thread, estonedia?
Ian Thompson
People who smoke weed everyday are degenerate. People who drink alcohol everyday are degenerate. I don't think these are false statements. Both people are addicted to said substance, and cannot function normally without it. I am all for occational and social drinking, smoking. However, for example, if one need to drink every night after work, or smoke before work, I feel like that person is an addict, and a substance abuser who is mentally weak.
Sebastian Brooks
Right on time, Rabbi.
Noah Rivera
You were bullied in school weren't you
Elijah Long
Coca leaves and amphetamines both are physically addictive on the other hand Lsd is not and the general dosage taken in ins micro grams scheduling Lsd as schedule one makes even less sense than weed even though there were successful trials with very promising results in curing alcohol addiction
Samuel Ortiz
They're just molecules you retarded leaf, they have good and bad effects and are used accordingly. It's not like this is secret knowledge.
Luke Sullivan
Got arrested for sleeping in my car drunk yesterday, I'm not touching any more drugs or alcohol for the rest of my life.
Carter Foster
I am where I want. Fuck off.
Aren't you yanks retarded enough without weird chemicals? Can you find my country on the map?
Legalizing weed is legalizing voluntary autism. Is that what you really need? orly?
Julian Hill
Those molecules can have profound effects on the human mind and its physiology, lets not ignore that.
Jose Brooks
Right you are, m'lady
Jordan Ramirez
There are already people who claim benefits from LSD. "Spiritual revelations" and crap. "Creativity!"
The evidence seems to imply that whatever they get, it comes at the cost of brain damage, which prevents them from seeing the continuing brain damage, until they become fairly stagnant or even dangerous people.
Luis Morales
...
Angel Young
And I agree with that. I smoke twice a week, on the weekends after I'm done work and watch some movies, no harm in that. But I'm lumped into the same category of "420 blaze It" stoners who smoke everyday whenever a pot discussion comes up by beta NEETS on this site. That's all I'm trying to say
Jonathan Stewart
There is no scientific evidence of brain damage from Lsd stop quoting your pastor, the affects of lsd have been studied extensively with advanced mri techniques and no brain damage has been reported
Jace Morris
>narcotic come on
Prohibition of all drugs is retarded, but you must insulate the public from people who are on drugs.
The government should issue licenses for "drug hotels."
Users would be allowed to check in for the duration of their high and comedown. This entire process would be taxed, with some of the taxes used for addiction treatment for those who need it. The elimination of non violent, non property offenses will free up police manpower improving life for all.
Ryder Powell
>>marijuana intoxication is difficult to imperically measure when prompted; someone driving while high cannot be measured reliably for the amount of THC in their blood streams quickly there should be standardized tests to measure reaction times, independent of drugs used.
being tired, distracted, old, etc. can all fuck up your reactions / ability to concentrate. hard limits on drugs in your blood stream make absolutely zero sense, especially if you consider the issue of tolerance
Carter Scott
Because people will get woke. Can't have that.
Isaac Bell
I can sympathize with people who want to very occasionally experience the human mind and its visual experiences it can produce when intoxicated, but I cannot when that person does so to escape reality, or becomes reliant on that false reality to feel happy, or mentally at ease. They are escapists who need real help and therapy, not drugs.
Joseph Cruz
Haven't met a decent human being who cares enough about marijuana to publicly ask for its legalization.
Therefore, pot smokers are bunch of trash, they should be treated as trash and their opinions have no value. If I was a politician, I would line you dumb fucks up and shit on you, to make that point.
/bread
Luke Rivera
Alright, I understand user. I meant no harm.
David Johnson
Anti weed fags are hilarious. Watch out for the reefer madness!
Ryder Watson
it leads to other degenerate behaviour the enforcement of the law now is used to get bad people of the streets now
Jonathan Howard
This is a good idea. I like your suggestion. Everyone has different alcohol intolerances for example, one person at BAC of 0.08 might be remarkably sober compared to one who is a light weight at that BAC.
Jeremiah Myers

Mason Martinez
The brain scans revealed that trippers experienced images through information drawn from many parts of their brains, and not just the visual cortex at the back of the head that normally processes visual information. Under the drug, regions once segregated spoke to one another.
Further images showed that other brain regions that usually form a network became more separated in a change that accompanied users’ feelings of oneness with the world, a loss of personal identity called “ego dissolution”.
Everyone should dose once in their life, it activates your brain's connection to the universal subconscious.

You can smoke daily at night after work if you don't pack giant Snoop Dogg bowls full.

Well done. But people who desperately need some kind of fucking magic plant to escape reality are still trash. I'm not god, I didn't make it so. It just is so.
It's YOUR fault. Get your shit together and become normal human being.
Jaxson Stewart
People shouldn't have their entire opinion on marijuana thrown put just because you think of them as not "decent." That's a very wide ranging term that has too many personal connotations to be valid.
Josiah Robinson
I don't get all the hate for weed smokers. A lot of people i've known that smoke weed rarely talk about it as if it's all they do. I've known people that are successful and smoke. Alcohol is much more damaging if not used in moderation. If you find you have an addictive personality or you can't handle either in moderation, that's your fault not the drugs.
Carter Bell
Nope weed is a psychotropic drug it's affects can be subjective with further research we might be able to qualify if certain levels of thc affect your reaction times, with alcohol it's not subjective it's not psychotropic drug its affect can be quantified to the blood concentration
Angel Brooks
lol esti is so cute
Jordan Garcia
>posts picture of typical nu male pothead
Yeah, pretty faggy. Wear some fucking socks
Connor Hill
>There is no scientific evidence of brain damage >extensively with advanced mri techniques
Studies from people with an agenda to use it for 'psychotropic therapy' and social changes. If you cherry pick science from doctors with an agenda, every single drug including tobacco will be called perfectly safe.
Fact is, LSD seems known to exacerbate anxiety disorders and dissociation events. Trauma from 'bad trips' is also quite real.
Joseph Moore
Buy a gram of wax and a nectar collector
I use a dab or more a day and still have some left throughout the entire month
William Thompson
Your autistic attempts of a personal attack just prove my point: if you weren't a piece of shit pothead, you could probably construct an argument anyone could take seriously.
You can not. Therefore, eat my cock.
Isaac Mitchell
>escape reality You obviously haven't tried pot lol. Lemme ask you something bud, trolling aside, I go to college, I have a job, and I have a job ready when I'm done that will pay 70,000 annually starting off. How am I a loser lol? I keep to myself when I smoke, if people don't like to smoke that's ok I don't pressure them. I smoke twice a week just to relax and watch some movies or play some Games. What exactly am I "escaping"? Why are you lumping me in with losers who don't have their shit together
Bentley Campbell
>mfw rolling up a big fattie while reading these replies
I smoke everyday and make more in a week than what half you faggots make in a year.

Christopher Howard
Alcohol abuse leads to brain damage and epilepsy and the bad trip thing is a meme I agree it's not as straightforward a high as alcohol is but educating people rather than banning it is a better idea cause people who wanna do it will do it why encourage the mafia
And I am not cherry picking scientific evidence there is zero evidence Lsd causes brain damage
