The people that say "WEll don't do drugs you moron, fool, or whatever". That's fine for you to say, but really, keep it to yourself. Whatever a person wants to do is up to them and they don't need people like you throwing in your $.02

I have seen and heard some crazy things in my life, from both 100% sober people, and people totally wacked out. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between them.

And a drug is a drug is a drug. There are good ones and bad ones. I would say the MJ has is more benifical to society then most "Legal" presription drugs. Rememer Phen-Fen? How about Vioxx? Ya those really helped a lot of people, DIE![/soapbox mode off]

Keep it to yourself? Yes, because doing drugs of any kind usually breeds successful people who give back to society. People who do, such as Edwardo are the exception, not the norm, period. Drug policies are put into affect for a reason. If MJ is 'beneficial' then why does it slow everything down? To me that's not benefial. If you want to say its the less harming or detremental (sp?) than that's another...

My tangent is to legalize the weed, and then tax the [censored] out of it. Its obvious we aren't going to stop it, so lets help the Government out and get more revenue for them to help the deficet that so many people cry about.

BTW, you need a sturdier soapbox, it almost collapsed under me...



I do agree with on the taxing and have the government make money, instead of wasting money on a almost useless drug war. And I am talking about MJ being beneficial, not the other drugs. I know many, many, many people that smoke MJ and are fully functional and have very respectful jobs. So it is safe to say the MJ users do contribute. You are getting these people confused with the Coke, Crack, Heroin, and Meth scum that kill, steal, rob, and prositute to pay for their habits. I have met many people that are so called "potheads", some being very close to me, and I have never seen any of them "Jones" for a joint. But I have seen people that were on "H" and Coke that would sell their first born if would get them another hit.

Well most likey this thread will be locked soon. The last time this issue was brought up this happened.

I am just trying to say that you can not call anyone that has or still does smoke MJ a "pothead" and think they are not a good person or contribute to society. That is just ignorant.
