DeSantis is right, keep marijuana illegal

[initforme]

Sugar should be outlawed as well then. Processed meats too. Then onto industries creating plastics. There is micoplastics everywhere even in our bodies. Think those aren't causing sicknesses? Onto pfas as well. Outlaw any industry tied to those. I'm just getting started. Breakfast cereals...bad news. Shut them down also. Makers of Roundup? Thanks for the tumors.....endless

It’s hardly a gateway drug. Ban alcohol.. same thing.

Milk is the real gateway drug. Every single person I know that uses pot or drinks alcohol drank milk earlier in their lives

Grass is nothing. It is a wonderful and vital avatar used properly in the right hands. The real problems are the politicians, who either ban it for everyone entirely or legalize it entirely for everyone. Can you think of any other pharmaceutical handled that way?

Pot is not a pharmaceutical, it is just a plant

Well, it’s not legal for everyone. You have to be of age.

No reason weed needs to be any more restricted than alcohol or tobacco

 

[Mr Natural]

Because if it's illegal, no one will use it. Right?

The corporations just want their workforce to be denied so their workers are even more productive. Sad.

Cannabis is worse than alcohol. Alcohol works like a dimmer switch and cannabis is an on/off switch. You’re inebriated or not. You can drink a beer or glass of wine and not be inebriated. One dose of pot can cause a psychotic episode.
Cannabis causes anxiety disorders, psychosis, clinical depression, suicidal ideation, schizophrenia and is addictive.
Three in ten pot users have a pot usage disorder. One in ten drinkers become alcoholic. Alcoholism is the driver for alcohol’s bad effects.

Did you learn this by watching Reefer Madness?

What he said.

The same with guns. Right?

 

[Mr Natural]

The same with guns. Right?

Guns are legal.

 

[Blaster]

Guns are legal.

If they were illegal people would still obtain them. The fact is that banning alcohol, drugs, guns or any other thing is futile.

Pot has been prohibited to one degree or another in various jurisdictions since 1937. How has that prohibition served society?

DeSantis is an Israeli, and thus he serves Israeli interests.

He refuses to confiscate the contraband shots, refuses to enforce Florida Statute 770.166 regarding toxic injections that his Surgeon General says should not be administered to humans, but he wants to prohibit pot, a plant with no known fatal dose. DeSantis is an idiot.

Interestingly, back in the late sixties, the CIA got involved in doing a psychological study of LSD to explore its potential for use in covert brainwashing-mind control sort of stuff, I suppose for programming agents or something, and while they determined that LSD didn't show the potential they had hoped for, the one conclusion they came to was that whatever the harmful effects of LSD were, it was LESS HARMFUL than alcohol.

And there is a liquor store on every corner.

I have no idea what they say. All you need to know is that pot didn´t kill anyone.
Pot can boost a current mood, be it good or bad. And it can cause several other mental issues this way, ones like mentioned. Plus schizophrenia. But it isn´t addictive. It is simply that good that people don´t want to miss it anymore.
Alcohol, on the other hand is addictive. It also leads to mental issues. It killed millions, reduces the life expectancy of the others.
And of course both can be dangerous when doing certain things under their influence, such as driving or working.
But there is nothing wrong about a beer or a glass of wine or smoking a joint.

Pot is addictive and causes mental illness. Established facts. Alcohol doesn’t cause mental illness but carries its own risks. Established facts. Neither justifies the other.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Science is bullshit.

You sound like you could do with a smoke, might chill you out a bit.

I personally dont smoke, I used to for many years, but i still think it should be legal for others, especially if alcohol is legal.

Sure. But its risks need to be prominently presented just as they are with alcohol and tobacco. Currently they are not. This is the precedent for the lawsuits. Violation of the consumer fraud and deceptive practices act.
If I were to smoke some or be subjected to cannabis, I would suffer cannabis induced derealization disorder. Absolutely crippling condition. I’ve had to live with that threat for fifty years and now I see the pot industry hoodwink fools into exacerbating that threat.
Creepy place the culture has devolved to.

~~~~~~
Then there's those flash backs after smoking.

Yes, cannabis induced derealization/depersonalization disorder can relapse.

Liberal Democrats want weed to be legal. They have succeeded in blue states, hopefully DeSantis can keep it illegal in the red state of Florida. We all know the problems with gateway drugs.

---DeSantis said Florida will have a 'big problem' with weed smell if marijuana law passes---

DeSantis said Florida will have a 'big problem' with weed smell if marijuana law passes

Supporters of recreational marijuana said Florida state government can restrict public consumption. DeSantis' voiced concerns about the smell of weed.

DeSantis is wrong, as usual.

You expose your own ignorance by repeating the same shit we said back in 1970.
