I am disgusted by the fact that all these liberals from the_donald have been spreading their shit ideology views on marijuana and that it is "harmful". It is not and you need to KYS if you think it does.
>b-but Alcohol and Tobacco are more harmful that Marijuana
Except the difference here is that Alcohol and Tobacco are legal and are widely distributed than Marijuana. More so, there NO serious scientific/medical evidence that Marijuana is indeed good or harmless.
>Medical Marijuana. Bam. Owned. QED MUDDAFUGGA
Except here is that Marijuana is not regulated by the FDA and the dosage of Marijuana varies. No drug that is approved by the FDA is smoked. Arizona's distribution of medical Marijuana indicates that only 3.76 percent of card holders use Marijuana to ease the symptoms of cancer. Another 1.53 percent suffer from glaucoma while a 1.06 percent have AIDS while in states like Colorado and and California, over 90 percent use it for "severe pain". These individuals are 18-30 years old.
>But you can eat it!!
Same argument as above. Marijuana isn't regulated when it comes to dosage and now dispensaries compete for who has the highest THC level in their weed. How is that going to treat each individual symptoms that Marijuana advocates claim that MJ heals? Hint: It doesnt.
>Yeah OK but it's NOT ADDICTING!!!
False. The 2012 National survey on Drug Use and Health estimates that 2.7 million people 12 years of age and older meet the DSM-IV criteria for dependence on Marijuana. More so, an adolescent brain is much more suspectable to addiction than an adult. This has received support from studies where animals have shown that parental exposure to THC can recalibrate the sensitivity of the reward system to other drugs. That same exposure affects interferes with cytoskeletal dynamics which are critical for the establishment of axonal connections between neurons.
What does something I do bother you so much? Why do you need to police other people and apply labels to them? Do you not see how you are acting like a SJW?

>Why do you care wahhh
Seriously fuck you if you think that way. I will not care when it doesn't affect economic and social costs that will be borne by everyone, including increased health care and treatment costs, lost productivity, absenteeism, work related accidents, drugged driving injuries and deaths.

Jaxson Flores
I feel you, but consider this: the type of NPC-tier retard that drinks/smokes anything as a 'hobby' is basically irrelevant and was never going to accomplish anything anyways.
NPC-tier. Lets talk about that. There are certain humans who are basically obstacles, or part of the environment. They aren't really people. They don't really do anything. They exist, they whine, they complain, they consume, but they produce nothing of value. Least of all ideas worthy of consideration.
It's not worth wasting energy on worrying what the NPC's are doing with their wasted time. Sell them things to fund your projects, use them as labor, whatever. What happens to them is not important. What they do is not important.
This isn't a 'live and let live' ideology. This is a 'I don't care about peasants with peasant problems', ideology.

So it is on par with Alcohol, do you have a beef with that at all? A DUI is a DUI regardless of drug used.

Except if you let that problem slide, its going to affect the society around and cost the country more money to fix. Let's take for example Alcohol. Here in America' it revenues around 8 billion in taxes while the social costs to it totals to around 200 billion dollars around its social costs. I do not agree with the whole "just let peasants be peasents" mentality because the more its accepted, the more destructive its going to be.

Stoner logic. Also, despite what your history teachers have told you, prohibition DID work, reducing alcohol use by 70 percent, back when the average American drank around 2.9 gallons of alcohol.

Alexander Diaz
I'm sure that the ability to make a market around a previously illegal drug will more then pay off the general cost of impaired people driving and doing other illegal actions, since a minority of people who get impaired will make these decisions.
An illegal market that people are creating a market in is worse then the "societal cost" of making it legal so that your society can make profit off of it rather then another society profit from it like Mexico.
Owen Miller
nice strawman. now do you want to disassemble said strawman with logic and facts? how does occasional recreational pot use harm the economy? Mind you, it has economic benefits as well, so when you're making your argument please consider both sides.

I recommend you research some of the (((people))) who have been pushing it. make sure to start in the late 60's or early 70's. having smoked a shit load of weed, I can tell you that it did two things to me: made me very docile, and diminished control of certain impulses (eating, sexual desire). which is right in line with aims of the collective cultural psychotherapy advocated by (((intellectuals))) like horkheimer and adorno

Asher Lewis
Fuck up, cunt. You can't just pick and choose what's degenerate and what isn't based on if it's legal or not.
The reality of it is - one that you're not willing to admit because you're a degenerate yourself - that Alcohol and Tobacco are just as, if not more degenerate as pot.
One thing I know for sure: if I had to choose to hang around an alcoholic vs. a pothead, you bet your ass I'd choose the latter.
Julian Russell

Tyler Nelson
This isn't regarding me, this is regarding the country as a whole. Also to note that legalization of Marijuana violates other states' laws.
Of the 274 seizures in 2012, thirty seven different states had been destined to receive marijuana from Colorado. The most common destinations were Kansas (37) Missouri (30) Illinois (22) Texas (18) Wisconsin (18) Florida (16) and Nebraska (13)
Its like letting your neighbor bump his music all the way up and letting him because "Degenerates were born to be losers who cares lolz".
>If you aren't successful or at least self sufficient then your opinion is also totally worthless.
Except who are you to implement that rule? Fucking self righteous cunt.
>They exist to be taken advantage of. It was always this way. It will always be this way.
Yeah no. This clearly shows that you are naive and have no idea what you're talking about

I own 3 businesses, go to the gym 6 days a week and keep a strict diet and I smoke everyday mostly to fall asleep but sex and marijuana is the best feeling out there.
That being said, Marijuana is addicting for me but I have an addiction prone personality and I think a lot of the burnouts or dependents are people like that who are already prone to addiction. It's not some miracle plant without adverse affects, its great for inflammation and other stuff but it can fry your brain, cause short term memory loss and make you into a complete schizo if you abuse it. Moderation is key!
Charles Howard
You are calling anyone who supports a legal market so that people within the US may profit off it a degenerate. It is like calling someone you disagree with a racist. Its just a baseless ad hom.
Besides, the statistics weren't changed very much, it was a 7% increase in weed related DUIs, which will happen to any drug when it is made legal. Increased authority or other laws will help combat this, but it will happen regardless if it is legal or not.
The ability to make a business around weed will create a jobs market within the US, similar to Tobacco and Alcohol. In the end, the good outweighs the bad. If people want to smoke weed, they will. Might as well make some money off it and regulate it.

Oh I don't know... Maybe the whole cost of spending so much in education on our youth since its well known that Marijuana affects IQ, more crime, more abuse treatment costs, more ER visits, more traffic accidents, and fatalities. But yes, let's mindlessly say that Marijuana is helping the economy and therefore should be legal.

Ethan Brown

We aren't advocating that minors smoke weed. Weed only affects IQ in people who are still developing their brain, just like literally any other drug. With proper regulations it will be like alcohol in that you would need to be a certain age to smoke and buy said products.
>u dont agree with me therefore you deserve to be imprisoned and tortured
Elaborate how it is "degrading society", because it is on the same level as Alcohol or Tobacco. We aren't trying to legalize drugs like Meth or Heroine. It sounds like all the anti-weed fags are just uninformed people who think weed is like Meth arguing from ignorance and authority.

Levi Hill

Yeah way to BTFO yourself. Going back to alcohol after the prohibition era ended, Americans went back to drinking 2.2 gallons again in 1979. You seriously don't think those numbers are going to rise even more regarding DUI accidents and Marijuana? Oh please.
>The ability to make a business around weed will create a jobs market
To whom? The homeless who have felony backgrounds? Also an associated press report from Colorado has stated that since the legalization of Marijuana, it has contributed to an increased of younger people living on the streets. To say that weed helps with job markets is an oxymoron.
Jason Gutierrez
not if its legal.
Brody Torres
Now that I think of it, i've never met anyone over the age of 25 who defends marijuana.

Also it's funny that you post a picture like that and yet the premise of this thread is "is marijuana degenerate?" Really making a case for your side my friend, people who smoke weed definitely aren't mentally ill freaks, no sir.

Yes, people will always find a way around things or ignore the law. Not everyone does this. There is increased access for legal products, but to be honest weed isn't to bad of a drug. It isn't to addictive and has a similar effect as Alcohol. I don't see why we should worry about the minority of bad apples who may do this, unless you are such a nosy person that you feel you need to be involved in everyones life and police them.
