Pot is a gateway drug.

Long discredited. Theres millions of pot smokers that never touched anything else. I for one have zero interest in anything save perhaps shrooms. Its always the weak pussies that never handled addiction well that talk about gateway this or that. In reality alcohol was the original "gateway" for those weaklings.

The new Cleve that uses buzzwords to try and win arguments has managed to be even more stupid than the old Cleve, because he's not sure what the hell he's talking about but it SOUNDS good.
Wut are you talking about "new" clev? Have i changed any of my positions? If anything ur the mood swinging bi polar manic one.

That's called having centrist positions. It seems like mood swinging because I support some shit on either side
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... -

His most far right view might be abortion

Excuse my ignorance as im not in the "drug culture", bu isnt hash and peyote very similiar to marijuana?
-
Ok i looked it up, hash comes from cannabis but peyote is a cactus
-
Peyote is a psychedelic like LSD mushrooms.
WSS
-
I just did some PCP, ain't no ONE FUCKING WITH ME.
-
Hash is a concentrated derivative of marijuana.
And almost any time you bye mescaline, a derivative of peote in pill form it's just LSD.
WSS .

Diehards figured out a way to drip that shit through his oxygen hose. Dude is about to get rough with the wife

This all boils down to one thing.
Try to make one argument for why weed should be illegal, but not alcohol (while staying within the confines of reality).
I know a lot of people that smoked weed, they never went on to harder drugs. I do know people that drank alcohol, got in accidents, and killed themselves.
So we are to believe weed is the dangerous drug. Anyone want to post alcohol's body count?

The arguments against legalization are similar to the State legislature not legalizing sports gambling as they spend the lottery money.

Prohibition took alcohol away because some people could not handle it.
People still drank. At secret clubs and bootleggers sold booze on the side. People made their own beer and wine
And?

DOPE IS WORSE THAN ALCOHOL -
Look at coatse posting an "opinion" piece from this fake news outlet called parents opposed to pot. Well done coatse, a completely unbiased source for sure. Its totally convinced me!!
-
Anyone with any sort of braincells to rub together knows full well that abuse of narijuana, while certainly not good, is a far far cry from abuse of alcohol. How many people in this country are on a waiting list for a liver cause of weed? Go on coatse find me that stat

DOPE IS WORSE THAN ALCOHOL
Please share this post with every concerned parent you know! Spread the Word about Pop Pot!Regulation of alcohol does not keep alcohol out of the hands of children and teens. So when pro-pot people came up the idea âRegulate Marijuana like Alcohol,â they should have known that part of the plan would not be successful either. Just ask any teacher in Colorado. As propagandists push marijuana to achieve equality with alcohol in American life, hereâs a look at how they compare:
1) According to a report that came out last week, 30 % of marijuana users in the United States qualify as having Cannabis Use Disorder, vs. 10-20% of those of drinkers who are alcoholics.
2) With THC (most psychoactive part of pot) as high as it is today, there is no equivalent to dope that is like beer or wine. Since competition between growers has created the higher THC, consumers wonât go back to the weak, old-fashioned pot that was in existence before the âmedical marijuanaâ scam was introduced in the mid-90s. Average THC in Colorado is 17% vs. 1-3% in â70s.
3) Frequent users of marijuana are more likely to have a-motivational syndrome, compared to frequent drinkers.
4) Students who are heavy weed users are much more likely to drop out of school than students who drink heavily. After all, weed is nicknamed âdopeâ for a reason.
5) Teens who use marijuana are 3x more likely to overdose on other drugs such as heroin; teens who use alcohol are 2x more at risk for overdose with other drugs. While marijuana may not be a âgatewayâ for every young person who does pot, the risk of leapfrogging to other drugs is greater for those who use marijuana than those who do alcohol. Marijuana use puts are children at greater risk for drug overdose than alcohol does.
6) Both are readily available to children and teens. Pot is more available in marijuana states, as the parents may have it at home.
7) Both are dangerous for driving, and both have led to traffic fatalities, particularly when the drivers are age 25 and under. Looking at the absolute evidence takes away any need for studies to show that driving stoned is dangerous.
Marijuana stays in system longer, up to a month and even more for chronic users, while alcohol goes out of the system in 24 hours. Some marijuana users experience flashbacks which can be very dangerous while driving or when they come on unexpectedly.9) There are high-functioning alcoholics and there are regular marijuana users who hold jobs and function reasonably well. The latter is less frequent, and those who manage well tend to give an erroneous impression to others who become addicted quickly and show a greater impairment from using pot.
10) Both marijuana and alcohol are depressants
10)Marijuana causes paranoia, anxiety and mental health problems at much higher rates than alcohol.
11) Marijuana advocates claim it is âharmlessâ and ânot addictive,â both false claims. They also claim to drive better while stoned. Drinkers donât have similar delusions about alcohol being harmless and non-addictive. Individual problem drinkers may deny that theyhave a problem, while pot activists deny marijuana is a problem.
12) Binge drinking in very, very heavy doses can lead to death. While marijuana doesnât go into the brain stem, in heavy doses it can lead to psychosis. Pot has been know to cause death for those who have a psychotic reaction to marijuana.
13) Marijuana doesnât cause a hangover. Skipping the headache is not a good reason to do pot. Just donât drink or drink less.
No one is forced or compelled to drink, another falsehood promoted by the marijuana lobby. Many adults choose not to drink or do any drugs. More power to them. Our comparison shows 2 ways marijuana is safer, and 7 ways it is less safe and 4 ways they are a draw. Read our other article on marijuana vs. alcohol.
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said legalization âwasnât worth it.â Coloradoâs Governor John Hickenlooper said that legalization was âreckless.â The state of Washington saw a great increase in marijuana-impaired drivers last year.
About 10% of the US uses marijuana, compared to up to 60% of adults who use alcohol. Evidence shows that marijuana users drink more alcohol, too.
