States With Legal Medical Marijuana See ‘Significant And Sizable’ Reductions In Health Insurance Premiums, Study Finds

[MinTrut]

There is no such thing as medical marijuana. That’s a ruse to mainstream the drug and enrich sociopaths and other scumbags.
Cannabis causes mental illness and its legalization has resulted in increased traffic accidents and deaths so any suggestion that it can reduce insurance premiums is in error.

Pretty much.

And we're only beginning to see the destruction caused by legalization.

how many lives have been destroyed by alcohol?.....by fentenal?.....by meth?.....how many were slowly dying smoking cigarettes until they did go?....how many lives have been destroyed by being in the wrong place at the wrong time and have been gunned down by some asswipe with a gun shooting it at random?......when you have an answer let me know.....

You're making the argument that X is allegedly more dangerous than Y, and that therefore Y is okay.

That's a REALLY bad argument.

 

[MinTrut]

Not where my personal experience is concerned. I took much greater risks as a drinker. I tended to drive more often. I tended to get into altercations with others more often. With pot, I was a lump on a log and perfectly content to remain static, in a safe place. Booze brought with it a sense of adventure that required me to go to bars and parties. It wasn't uncommon for me to drive blind drunk; shoot a gun into the sky; challenge someone to a fight; etc.

YMMV

Not what I was responding to; you're extremely confused, though I won't speculate as to why.

the pot isnt for me.....

Thank you for clarifying.

I don't dispute that there MAY be medicinal value for some, but the drug, like heroin, is INCREDIBLY dangerous and addictive, and should be utilized with extraordinary care.

Is it true 15 million police visits to alcohol bars annually and 150 to “pot bars” ?

its not anything like heroin......and it can be mentally addictive but not physically addictive.....by now you people should know this....

 

[MinTrut]

It's vastly more dangerous and addictive, yes.

...and it can be mentally addictive but not physically addictive.....

Both.

by now you people should know this....

I know how incredibly dangerous, deadly and addictive pot is.

And I care about the lives it has destroyed, and will.

That you don't is tragic and repulsive to me.

Is it true that there are infinitely more alcohol bars than "pot bars?"

Smoking dope makes you healthy?

one does not have to smoke MJ these days, there are 100s of ways to get it now.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

There is no such thing as medical weed.

If you do not wish to use it then dont', but do not tell others what they should do

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Medical marijuana doesn't cure anything.

most prescription drugs do not cure anything.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

If long term use of tobacco causes cancer, what do you think the long term of effect is of of smoking an unfiltered freaking weed?

so dont smoke it, drink it, eat it or one of the many other ways to get it in your system

 

[Harpy Eagle]

States with legal pot have increased traffic deaths.

 

[frigidweirdo]

They really didn't explain why this is the case. Even in states with a total pot ban you can still get pot fairly easy.

Probably because certain people won't take it because it's illegal. They're the ones who NEED it rather than do it for recreational use.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

its legalization has resulted in increased traffic accidents and deaths

 

[MinTrut]

Some good points, but the problem remains:

Pot, in all its many forms, is an INCREDIBLY dangerous and addictive drug.

If a GENUINELY safe strain can be developed, I will no longer give a shit.

Until then, I consider pot pimps/addicts among the lowest form of human scum on the planet.

^ Thread win.

Tell that to the families of those whose lives were destroyed by pot.

Pot pimps = The lowest from of human scum
