  • So A) Pot is dangerous. Then why are cigarettes and alcohol legal?

    or 😎 It is safe, then why is it illegal?

  • I personally think tobacco should be made illegal. It has no benefits and many many risks.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • Hey morons, I stated Pot is safer than cigarettes. I never said it was 100% safe. I also never said it made you cool and was just sharing my personal experiences. You guys lack reading comprehension, maaaaaaaan.

    And I was merely reminding you that anecdotal evidence is at the bottom of the pyramid when it comes to realibility & veracity. Be more informed about the word "informed".

    do you guys think tobacco ought to be illegal? It easily causes the most preventable deaths of any substance.

    I don't think making cigarettes illegal will do much to curb their use. See prohibition.

    I couldn't really care about the legality of pot. It doesn't really affect me either way. I grew up.

    And just think how many lives we would save if the nationwide maximum speed limit was 30!

    Sure it will. With all the vaporizers patches and gum out there who's going to grow an illegal tobacco farm and go through all that?

    I should have clarified: "cigarettes" was inclusive of all tobacco nicotine

  • Also "well this shit is terrible and it's legal!" isn't a particularly great argument as to why other bad things should also be legalized.

    For me it's not a matter of good or bad it's just the libertarian idea that people should be allowed to be assholes and do stupid shit if they want to. unfortunately in a lot of these situations the public ends up paying for their mistakes.

    Bringing up alcohol and tobacco is a good point. If someone thinks weed should be illegal because it is dangerous, then their view point on those other two substances matters because of what I said before.

    It may not affect you directly, but it will indirectly. There are plenty of benefits that could spil over into your life

    Yep.

    If in fact the health and well being of the American public is essential to lawmakers, and remembering that heart disease is caused by inactivity to a great degree, then the sedentary activities that people are devoting more and more of their time to should be regulated.
