        Come now, Steve, let's not be facetious: if Colorado can do over $1b in total cannabis sales without descending into anarchy, as some cannabis detractors suggested it would, then its safe to say that marijuana probably isn't the scary boogman it's been made out to be. Comparing it something that is truly dangerous, like heroin, is not even in the same ballpark.

        Besides, heroin is pretty much legal anyway, in the form of opiate painkillers that Big Pharma and irresponsible doctors prescribe every day. Maybe the Feds and DEA should spend their efforts investigating and raiding pharmaceutical companies instead of throwing people in jail for decades over weeds: https://www.addictions.com/opiate/the-role-of-pharmaceutical-companies-in-the-opioid-epidemic/

                    Look at the bullshit these consevative fake rags pump up the asses of impressionable old people like dh....

                    "Thus, legalization functions as a positive feedback loop, making access to the drug easier, getting users hooked, then diminishing their drive and desire to perform socially beneficial work to feed their addiction, thereby resulting in crime to get their fix."

                    Heres another beaut....

                    "A report by the AAA Foundation released Tuesday found that traffic fatalities involving drivers in Washington where marijuana was involved had doubled between 2013 and 2014. Marijuana became legal in the state in 2012."

                    So last night i had some wine and then smoked a little pot.....if i go out and drive right now and get in an accident, i wont pop for alcohol thats long gone. But for the next 30 days even if i dont touch a solitary stem of marijuana...i will test positive for it. But just like the wine the effects of marijuana are long gone by now. But that carvaccident would likely get lumped into "marijuana related" because there really isnt a test able to determine how long ago the user smoked or ingested. So you can throw this partissn biased fallacious puece right out the fucking window into the trash where it belongs.

                    Its proof that if you have an idea in ur head, no matter how factually inaccurate....you'll find a place on the internet where someobe will back up that idea with legit sounding facts and stats,

                              I'm not equating it with anything. But coke dealers make way more than pot dealers. That's just drug dealing 101

                                    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.

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

                                        No, its more than that. I know ur a centrist i dont hold that against you. I have positions on guns and the economy that lean right, not far right but right nonetheless.
