also, the only argument needed for pro-legalization is the state of Colorado giving money back to its citizens because of the insane amounts of tax revenue coming from legal pot

Just imagine how much California is going to make.

all imma say is idk why marijuana is illegal when alcohol and cigarettes are legal, considering that y'know being drunk and being high are basically the same thing, and that cigs slowly kill you

but being drunk and being high are two completely different sensations

i meant how they both affect your impulses, your ability to operate machinery, etc

they're no way alike in that regard, tho.

 exhibit A: driving drunk is obviously retarded, but driving stoned isn't anything to worry about

I bet in 10-15 years, meth will be legal

Yeah, driving high isn't great, but it's a shit ton better than driving drink.

I'm not saying he's not a hypocrite or that he's in the right, but for 30+ years we've had campaigns against drugs (with some truth to their talk about destroying lives), whereas smoking has been around for eons, and with a campaign backed by the actual tobacco companies. People who smoke tend to understand the health risks associated with it, whereas drug users ignore both the health and social risks.

The irony of his statement was lost on him.

lol no, people who smoke are usually like "I know this one dude who smoked his whole life, he's eighty now and in fine health. I ain't gonna get no cancer from this."

really now? that's funny. all the cigarette smokers i know just don't give a fuck about the risks.

I have never met a single person who has acted like that on smoking before.

Yeah, because they think it won't happen to them.

We all rationalize things like this. I tend to speed because "lol, I ain't gonna get caught"

69% of smokers want to stop so it's not like everyone smoking thinks it's fine

We as a society have been pretty adamant on informing people of the dangers of smoking

My own sister, who's told me her whole life that she would never smoke, began smoking a couple weeks ago. Almost broke her neck when I found out (and by that I mean I had a sudden impulse of rage and yelled at her--don't take that literally).

The hyper vegan feminist one? She's just rebelling against the patriarchy man, cause the hip thing for the man to do now is to tell kids that they can't start smoking.

Rise above brutha

it depends on the strain/your current tolerance level and shit. ive had times where driving stoned was easier and more relaxing than driving sober and other times where i am SLUMPED on some shit and driving wouldnt be a great idea

You're making a statement about your ability. You can't say that everyone has your tolerance. You also can't say your ability is static. Driving when you're intoxicated is stupid.

you're coming on a little strong there ole buddy ole pal im a lot closer to your stance on this than you might think. the point of my post was that driving on weed is indeed a dangerous thing that hinges on a few variables.
