Someone can have a hit or two and not be stoned. Even if someone were stoned, it does not make everyone incapacitated.
People hear "weed" and they assume cheech and chong type dumbass people, who instantly lower their IQ 40 points with each toke, and can't do anything competently. I find that to be so far from the truth. Cheech and Chong was a couple of stoners' projections of stoners, not how they actually were. There is no reason for the drug to be illegal unless you get all your info from the DARE officer in elementary school. It's far less dangerous than so many legal things.

Yes, and as far as gilesfan is concerned, as long as no one ON THIS BOARD has been in trouble for weed, we should not care that we potentially could, or that millions of people DO get arrested for doing something that hurts no one.

I am. You obviously don't understand that a punishment that does not even come close to fitting the crime is a huge problem.
Would you like to lose your job because you went and bought alcohol? How many people still drank during prohibition? The fact that the government will screw over someone's otherwise fine, innocent, peaceful life is scary.

I do here and there, mostly when I have to wake up early and have sleep anxiety (as I often do). I trust more and prefer it over things like nyquil or RX sleep drugs (which can have bad side effects. weed? none. oh, food tastes good).
There is no reasonable argument for weed being illegal as long as alcohol and other drugs are legal. No one has come close to making a decent argument ("weed makes people do reckless things and risk their lives" is by no stretch of the imagination a reasonable argument).
I have experience with weed. I'm not trusting my babysitter to watch my kids after smoking weed.

ITT: giles is a fool. but we already knew that.
AA, that's fine if you don't like weed. I don't want the law to say "Everyone must smoke weed." I want to be able to go and buy it and sit in my room.

Ketchup is probably worse for someone (health wise) than weed.
I haven't said whether weed should be legal or not. I don't want people to deal with people that have been smoking weed unless i'm chilling at the house eating potato chips. I certainly don't want other drivers, pilots, dentists, doctors, babysitters to be high on weed. I don't really give a **** if its legal or not though, if I want to smoke weed, I will call someone up and smoke weed. But, I won't do it when I'm taking care of my children or when I am going to be on the road or need to do anything productive (besides empty out the pantry)

I take pain pills for my back and leg. Smoking helps enhace the strength of the pills. Thats one reason I smoke. It also helps take away, or at least take my mind off other **** ive gone through. Sometimes I think too much lol. Its relaxing. I dont smoke when I drive. That **** is scary the few times ive done it. I cqn drink qnd drive pretty good, dont do it anymore though. Smoking and driving is crazy. Its also cool that I can smoke with my girl, she smokes more than I do lol. Sje also gets way better **** lol.

This is brought up again, and I'm still not sure why it's relevant.

Same, when I'm really anxious over something and can't stop thinking about it, bud really helps me relax and take my mind off it. For some people it's super effective for anxiety.
Obviously you aren't, as I said multiple times "I get your point."
But if something is illegal and you continue to do it, then that in fact is your own fault that you were stupid enough to do it and get caught. If you read my first post in this thread, I said I think it should be legal.
If coke was legal, I would have aced college bc I wouldn't have needed to sleep
I'm going to write a book. It's going to be called "Take some god damn control over yourself". Here's a quick synopsis of it. There is such a thing in this world called a "brain" that does exactly what weed does in your case. Except it's free, healthy and doesn't impair you in any way. So if you're trying to sleep but you can't because you keep thinking about some other problem, you use this "brain" thing to shut that other junk out. Most of the people in the world can already attest to doing this and it works wonders. No drugs needed, just a little self control. People far too often try and use weed as a crutch when in fact they are just mentally lazy and it's easier to sit around and smoke or drink rather than internally work out their own problems. It's called self medicating and normally it isn't healthy and definitely does not fix the root of your problem.

It's absolutely relevant to any conversation about legalizing weed. It's an intoxicating drug that will have to be regulated like alcohol.
Legalization will probably be hard on pot heads who now get away with being high all the time because 1- a lot of people can't tell, and 2 -no one wants to turn them in. But what will happen when everyone can spot someone who's high? Just like it's really hard to get away with drinking a few beers at lunch, it's gonna be tougher to be secretly high once everyone becomes familiar with it.
