Bottom line:
I am not totally against legalizing marijuana. I have some concerns mostly due to the fact that I have 2 small children and I am concerned at how it may effect them in the future. I do believe pot is a stepping stone drug, and if it becomes legal then access to it and exposure to it will be a lot easier. The dealers that supply pot will move on to selling coke, heroin, meth, etc... It's what they do. They don't sell pot out of the goodness of their heart, they sell it for profit. Once the money flow stops they will move onto other things like, cocaine, heroin, meth, etc...I would like to bet that most of the dealers are also getting public assistance at the same time, and that won't change either.(But that's a whole different argument. # posts that really raised my concerns during this debate, yes BRANDON_HA this is a debate.

I should add that it would be unwise to let a cat high on catnip outside but so is it too with people high on marijuana. If you smoke your marijuana at home in peace there can't become any public disorder from it.
If Marijuana becomes legal there could be the same kind of restrictions as with alcohol and tobacco instead of for example with chewing gum like most people think will happen.
Really? Comparing cats and catnip to people and pot? LOLOL FUNNY but not comparable by any stretch.

Really? does this work? And I give you credit for having tried coke only once, but why did you try it? Was it because the "high" from marijuana was so good that you thought the coke "high" would be even better? How many people have "tried coke for the same reasons and either stayed on it or then tried heroin, etc...?

Unfortunately I feel that we have all reached an impasse. Those who have grown up with the indoctrination of racist policies and have accepted these bias "facts" as being gospel can not be convinced otherwise; and those of us who have looked at things objectively can not tow the line because it is morally reprehensible.
Again, racist policies? NO! Racially applied sentences possibly, maybe even probably. Racial profiling by authorities, maybe as well. But what you're implying is that the laws are written just to effect African Americans. That's ridiculous. Your trying to convince me your looking at things objectively but that is not even close to accurate Brandon. You are the closed minded person. I have cited
your own sources that supported your argument AND my argument. So what does that say about these sources. They are ALL money driven. They are like the medical examiners in murder cases. The DA hires one that agrees with his theory and the defense hires one that agrees with his theory.
In the end the truth is somewhere in the middle.All this bonding has made me feel all warm and cozy inside. Jeesh, I need a beer. LOLOLOLOLOL
