Which is why we punish people who misuse alcohol and drive drunk. We don't charge people with crimes for consuming alcohol in a responsible fashion. I think that's all that people are asking for. Making people into criminals for personal use of marijuana is silly.
That's still probably something we can isolate in faulty genetics and do away with in the future thanks to *cue music* SCIENCE.Psychological dependence is a problem with the person. People become "addicted" psychologically to all sorts of things, including video games and sex. We probably have people on this forum that are "addicted" to MMOs. That's not something you can blame marijuana for.While it might not be chemically addictive, there's nothing stopping people from developing a psychological reliance on it as a coping mechanism. That much should be pretty obvious by the number of repeat offenders we have to throw in jail for having and using the stuff. If they weren't dependent on it, they'd learn the first time and stop doing it instead of becoming returning guests in their local slammo.
I didn't dance around the issue at all. I stated that marijuana is not physically addictive, which is a fact. You said that it is psychologically addictive, which is not a fault of marijuana, it is a fault with the individual. We live in a free society where people are allowed to make their own decisions. I don't want to live in a nanny state where the government bans anything that might be harmful to people as individuals. I'm not shifting the argument to another topic, I'm showing that that psychological addiction isn't a valid argument against marijuana legalization.
I'm not really sure how to even respond to this, honestly. Are you incapable of discerning between the harm posed by someone shooting firearms at buildings and driving above the speed limit, and personal recreational use of marijuana? No one is advocating that it should be legal to light up anywhere, anytime, with no regulation.
Alcohol is a drug too, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that people with stupid opinions shouldn't be allowed to continue existing in our society.
...BETTER control of weapons? There are more weapons in civilian hands than ever before. Concealed carry was only legal in a handful of states 20 years ago, and is now legal in basically every state. The Assault Weapons Ban was thankfully allowed to expire.
Oh, I get it. Better control of weapons. By citizens. Gun control. You're wily.
LMFAO. That's funny. Tell that to the millions of people who have been put through multiple MAOIs with horrific results. Psychiatrists give out medication based on popularity, not on symptoms.
Having work experience in the clinical research industry, LMFAO again. Bad things do not get pulled from the market, especially if the pharmaceutical company is buds with the FDA. You have a remarkably naive view on many things.
This is all speculation on your part. The internet provides ample guidance for safe drug usage if one is so inclined to research the topic. I can't speak for other drugs, but law enforcement has already conceded that marijuana from Colorado, Washington, California, Michigan, and the rest of the medical marijuana states has dominated US weed consumption, closely followed by those shady Vancouver growers. What we're getting these days is mostly high-grade shit grown in professional conditions. I know, I know...the word "drug" must automatically mean it's grown in a dark, grody basement by Mara Salvatrucha vatos.
The negative opinions about drug users are due to decades of propaganda stretching as far back as the Reefer Madness of the 1930s. Mainstream society is legalizing marijuana because it has been accepted as not a threat to society. Dear, oh dear. You have a lot of catching up to do, kitty.
I've read your posts on this forum, so I'm going to have to call BS.... unless we're not counting legal prescription drug abuse? *shrugs*Nope, I haven't. Your turn.

*gasp* You're such a big meanie head!
I might seem a little crazy or something, but there's a completely good reason for it. After trying to move Live Tiles around on the Start Screen for your mommy after you got her a Windows 8 laptop, pretty much ANYONE would be easily mistaken for being loony.
I didn't know old people still bragged about their social cliques from high school, but I'm pretty sure we can blame being brain-locked on being a teenager can be blamed on all that drug abuse.
...there are a lot of people who make online forums into super serious business.

Well that's rude, but no more rude than a guy smoking a cigar or cigarette all up in your face. That's already illegal though, and if someone lights up a J in a legal smoking area, I would have a hard time finding an ass on any rats nearby that cared.
At the same time? And are they drinking alcohol too?
This is your argument? Wow, way to lose any credibility. You have to be "cool enough" to try pot
What if I think revenge killing is right? Just because my own morals are different doesn't mean it's right to just go out and kill someone for revenge. It seems that ignoring laws is the new "cool" thing to do, because no one can find anything else to do anymore I guess.
But... but... Nancy Grace told me about a mother of three she knew who was a good upstanding god fearing citizen that paid her taxes, and she shot a marijuana into her vein once and then she was addicted and her teeth fell out and she prostituted her children to feed her addiction.
