Legalization thread

First study is worthless because each individual is different. You don't grade cannabis users against others that don't. You grade the user against their own normal activity sober or not.

Not sure what the point is of the second study as I haven't opined on it making anyone more obese. Obesity is a lifestyle choice to cherish your body. Weed doesn't change that.

You can eliminate use of opiates in other ways than making the population high and docile. How about protecting the border?

I am a 20+ year everyday smoker. Not sure what your history is but I assure you I understand the effects of weed more than most on this board.

Yes we are all aware that you are a self proclaimed expert about everything

I have schooled you so many times on this forum and yet you still are not a believer.

Its ok - You just don't know anything about the effects of weed but want to pretend to be 'cool'.

But as usual there is no response to the embarrassingly stupid studies you linked to 'prove' your point.

That’s cute that you think you’ve “schooled” me so many times on here. I was initially wrong about much of Covid… that’s about it. I don’t need to brag about how much I’ve smoked… that’s weird. But I am right there with your 20+ year number. But thanks for just assuming crap that you don’t know like usual.

You never have posted any real studies backing up your propaganda here. You just reference the joke of Berenson every once in a while. Who is simply an expert about being an idiot.

To be fair:

Again - Your own personal experiences are being projected to the rest of the population. With all due respect its an incredibly short sighted and dangerous position to take.

To be fair:

Very fair

However, I am a high functioning pothead that has been able to benefit from the fact that I have a mathematical mind. If I were taking the approach I accuse you and chop of I would FOR marijuana legalization.

It’s only political for you. You could care less about the actual merits of legalization.

And yet you provide a study as 'support' that doesn't actually get to the issue and that marijuana makes the individual user less productive (for most cases).

Political? Its insanity to say this. If anything the Republicans would get more votes by pushing legalization.

What the heck are you talking about?

But because the republicans aren’t pro legalization you won’t be. It’s that simple.

In your head… if you are louder than everyone else and you call them more personal insults… you “own” then

You think I care about 'Republicans'? I trash them almost as much as Democrats.

Its ok bud - You'll be wrong about this as well just like you've been on almost everything on this side of the forum.

The 'medical community' is now almost in lock step that weed is fine. Lets see how that works out.

Thank you for proving my point lol

Just remember these conversations when the 'science' changes.

I forgot… should have been more specific. It’s because MAGA republicans aren’t pro legalization. That’s the group that directs your every opinion

I don't think MAGA is universal on that.

We are a big tent. You're about to find out just how big that tent is....

But of course you could do some independent research an see my opinions on marijuana legalization have changed well before 'MAGA'.

The thing is this isnt aboit legalization this is about giving states the chance to legalize if they want. Sure some already have but only because the federal government allows it to be. The issue is really that whatever you think of marijuana it is not a schedule 1 drug. So maybe you think it should be schedule 2 instead of 3 but no one thinks it should be a schedule 1 drug. No one.

[thethe]

Of course it shouldn't be in the same classification as heroin. I'd hope everyone is in agreement on that.

By definition, it’s a schedule 1 drug. Whether you agree with that or not, is up to you
