Progressive Proposals: The Marijuana Edition

[P@triot]

Pot heads are fanaticals who whip themselves up into a tizzy about marijuana. They desperately want to believe it’s a “miracle drug” () that’s “healthier” than vegetables ().

But facts are facts. And marijuana - like every other drug - is seriously bad shit.

I smoked weed a lot during my college days but never became addicted. Some of my friends still smoke it.

Facts are facts. An Ivy League study has linked marijuana use to schizophrenia. Like every other drug, it is seriously bad shit…

It may not be “addictive”. But that’s not the issue. It kills brain cells, causes schizophrenia, makes people sick, etc. It’s bad shit.

It all depends on the individual. Some folks are addicted to alcohol.

I never lost any brain cells or became sick from it.

I know one far, far worse.

Politics.

The fact that you actually just said “I never lost any brain cells from it” unequivocally proves that you lost a shit-ton of brain cells from smoking it

Ok then let's outlaw high fructose corn syrup, refined sugar, and processed meats as well. Not to mention hydrogenated oils. We're for freedom but......and I'm not a pot user. It's so rampant and everywhere the genie is out of the bottle.

What about alcohol?

A real problem in society.

I didn’t say anything about “outlawing” it. Reading comprehension is important. You read what you wanted to read, rather than what was written.

Far too many are addicted to alcohol. The difference is, alcoholics aren’t out there screaming like maniacs how alcohol is “natural” and so “good”.

Most alcoholics will openly tell you that alcohol ruined their lives and encourage you to stay away from it.

A real problem in society.

It's a result of stress and the american way. Wake up rush off the work, work all day, rush home. Too exhausted for much of anything. Alcohol is an escape. Not a good one, not a healthy one,. A bad choice. But the number of functioning alcohols is rising steadily. Something is amiss. People are pushed too hard. Stretched too thin.

 

[Blaster]

There is drug addiction, alcohol addiction and sex addiction. Some folks are just weak.

And pushed way too hard.

Meh.
Approaching 60 myself and have partaken in my few puffs a day going on 4 decades now. Rarely drink alcohol and never use any other drugs.
No mental illness to speak of, unless you count posting on this site.
Thing is, I have done quite well with a credit score in the top 10%, drive an expensive truck, own my own house, with toys in the garage. Pay my taxes and work residential construction in conditions that a majority of people can't handle, blowing away the notion that pot smokers are lazy and unproductive.

All I see is a bunch of Carrie Nation Nanny Statists that wish to use government to control human behavior. Those exist on both sides of the political spectrum.

I am not touting that pot is any kind of miracle drug, just that I simply enjoy it and it helps me sleep through the aches and pains of working a physically and mentally demanding job.

I know the risks and it is my choice. Period.

I followed all the suggested links about how awful marijuana is, but it was a waste of my time. I learned all that by watching Reefer Madness back when I was a teenager.
