@Will200591K In fact I would take it one step further and say that the pot “myths” are they themselves myths, propagaded by supporters of marijuana in order to push a legalization agenda. Forgive me if that sounded a bit slap-dash but when the most responbiel trustworthy people I know tell me that pot is horrible for health and leads to pycholgoical and attitude problems further in life, I’ve seen that. To put it another way, ive never met an intelligent pot smoker.

@Will200591K Ive been around people who have smoked pot for an extended period of time, I just dealt with one today this morning, I bumped into a kid and we had a confrontation, a simple accidental shove of the arm and the kid became violent and lashed out at me, yelling threats. While I was countering the verbal backlash I noticed his eyes were a bright red on the ends and his breath smelled grassy, a weird smell. I soon put the pieces together, and a medically minded friend of my agreed.

@Will200591K And the government doesnt have to tell you what you can put in your body, but who are YOU to allow drug lords to order the deaths of hundreds? Your actions in drugs connect lives of thousands, and other similar issues dont have that same variable. Alcohol prohibition didnt work for economic reasons that translated into social problems, not the other way around. The alcohol buisnesses could not handle the prohibiton and thousands were out of work.

@GermanConquistador08 also sorry about your aunt those people who did that are truly disgusting and will get whats coming to them.

@GermanConquistador08 although i dont blame you for being pissed at that other guy… people like him give pot a bad rap. Im not saying its the best thing in the world but it is faaaaaarrr from the worst. There are far more dangerous, legal, things to put in your body. On top of that smoking weed has not directly killed anyone. Most of the pot myths have been disproven so i would really like to know what factual evidence you base your opinion of disliking pot on.

@GermanConquistador08 Medical marijuana is not a scam it increases the quality of life for people with terrible diseases. I know you have dealt with some past issues of mj with your aunt and the cartel and what not but thats no excuse to deny people a medicine with less side effects and no harm to your liver especially when people are in so much pain and discomfort it dwindles their will to live, If allowing the sick to medicate was the only way to keep em alive would you still prosecute them?

@FosterBoys Also, the reason that I debated with you with more respect than I did with paranoiastrsk is because he insulted my family, me, and my intelligence. Im sorry but when you heard the story of someones family member who was kidnapped by ruthless cartels and the responce you formulate is “Fuck your aunt” seems a bit discrediting. Thats all.

That is, you’ve treated ME with some measure of decorum, as your comment that I am responding to was not directed at me. Of course, you may actually feel that I am a f*ing moron, but you’ve had the courtesy of not calling me one directly.

@paranoiastrksdp Indeed I do. And Im actually proud of my conduct in this debate. Afterall I was argueing against someone who couldnt form coherent points, had no respect whatsoever and frankly, Im not embarred. I feel proud when I debate supporters of drugs. Its a topic Im very passionate on, along other political issues. But I do feel as though Ive failed. My goal was to get you seriously thinking about your position. Clearly, I have to get you thinking, but I cant say I didnt try.

@paranoiastrksdp First of all, to look at both sides, Johnston did fire on the officers but I agree absolutly. Civilian drug users cant be dealt with like common drug dealers should be. Here we have, SWAT bashing down civilians doors when they SHOULD be out smashing on the doors of gang hideouts. I disagree with the conduct of the drug war on a civilian level. However, supporters of drug actions need to be brought down in other ways, through fellow civilian and local police action for example

@paranoiastrksdp Oh god. I have the sinking feeling that all I am is argueing politics with a college prick who smoked enough week to think that hes intelligent. As Katt Williams once said “There aint anything worse than a dumbass so high he thinks hes smart” (Paraphrasing of course) But very well I accept the challenge. If I didnt know anything about the topic than I would be able to argue it AT ALL! I DO use sources its just from both sides not just the pot smoking demographic.

@paranoiastrksdp Logically fallacies? You dont even know what that means! Wow. Fallacies of irrelevent conclusion or incorrect reasoning is the only thing I can think of. And Im sorry, but if your faunting that you are much older than I am, I have a right to think that maybe your not really as old as you say you are, or your extremely immature and wont take a debate for what it is. Hope you experience some bad luck in the drugs you so heartfully defend. Thank you and goodbye.

@paranoiastrksdp Im actually suprised about this. Unless of course you were in a tourist area, totalitarian countries usually have a well protected area for tourists. Also, crime statistics are gather by the UN and communist countries like Cuba and China self-report. According to Cuba, its a healthy, happy, crime-free country. Im sure even you know thats not true. Same with China.
