Nah, if the government legalizes that stuff, than our kids and their kids will be addicted to the same stuff.
Cigarettes are baaad, they should be illegal too, but then things would just turn out like in the Prohibition back in the 30s.
No, you must never give in to vice, it destroys entire neighbourhoods in the States, and it will destroy an entire city or nation if we legalize it.
Weed is an herb that has been deemed a narcotic so it can be outlawed to pacify lobbyists from the textile, paper and lumber industries (hemp) and kept there by the alcohol and pharmaceutical industries (marihuana) The real vice is money. Money people don't want competition from something we can grow taxfree in our own back yards.
Not true at all. There has never ever been a clinical observation that the ingestion of pot has ever killed anyone. Not even one! Neither is it physically addictive. So if you feel you know something about this please feel free to site some empirical evidence to support your suggestions.
I'll be your huckleberry. Please elaborate on the suggestion that side effects from pot kill you. :lol:

Driving is a side effect of smoking pot?
Driving is a dangerous act to start with. That there is no reliable test for Cannabis levels in the blood, makes for an arbitrary statement. Not to mention the lack of controls on any data collected from accidents.
You can look at any accident involving alcohol and say that distraction was an influence, weather was an influence and road conditions were an influence.
High levels of alcohol in a drivers system is a root cause of accidents. You can't say that about pot because of the faulty system of determining the amount of pot in someone that is an influence. You can be days after smoking some pot and still have it turn up in your system. But you can't realisticaly say that it's affecting their ability to drive.
In addition to Unforgiven's explination, Marijuana or Alcohol do not force or make someone drive while they are intoxicated... their own stupidity does..... so driving under the influence is not a "Side Effect" of using those types of drugs.
Someone's actions are not a side effect, as when I get drunk or really fried from weed one night, I don't have this urge to steal a car and smash it into a tree or a pile of old people. I don't get the urge that I need to go out and buy a car or rent a car to acomplish the goal of driving under the influence. People thinking they're sober enough to drive, when they clearly are not, is the problem, but that isn't a side effect.... that's someone's lack of ability to know their limitations.
Next you'll tell me about that old court case years back where a man raped this girl and his defense was that he was too drunk to know what he was doing..... the first judge agreed and set him free.... then a sh*t storm brewed and the case was looked at again with another judge, the excuse wasn't valid, he was found guilty, and went to jail, while the original judge got in some serious crap.
If driving drunk or while on weed was a side effect, then people would have all kinds of loopholes to escape justice.... it isn't, therefore they don't.
