i think people should be able to make their own decisions, provided they aren't dangerous to others or interfering with others' ability to choose not to do something. that's my main problem with smoking of any sort, it's so invasive.

As far as drunk driving, there's no way to revise the law so that it doesn't happen. People are stupid and will do stupid things. But there are probably some practical ways to help fix the problem. I'm thinking something like breathalized ignition switches for cars, but there have to be better ideas than that.

Smoking can be invasive, but if weed ever gets legalized, I can promise you it will only be allowed in designated areas. I mean you can't even smoke cigarettes in the entire city of Calabasas, CA anymore. And I'm legally allowed to possess weed now (by CA law), yet I can't smoke in public or drive a car, so I'm sure they would still regulate the shit out of it.

Haha no, I mean that you shouldn't be allowed to get high in public or drive while high.

I know, haha, sorry. I imagine the only real difference to the way people use pot now would be something like marijuana cafes like they have in Amsterdam. Other than that, it would probably still just be a lot of people chilling at home.

It's really a simple fucking argument. It's actually not even an argument. If alcohol is legal, then marijuana should definitely be legal. That's it. I can't see how any idiot in this thread can even begin to try and say that the criminalization of marijuana is, to any extent, justified.

Haha. In all seriousness the "if this drug is legal then this one should be" is always a losing argument. However, the fact that criminalization of marijuana has been a complete failure, and the fact that its effects are less harmful than other drugs on the market make a very good case for at least extreme decriminalization.

Guns and grenades don't even do the same fucking thing what in the actual fuck do you keep talking about? JESUS CHRIST STOP PLEASE.

I hate kidinthebushes. He can't formulate a single good argument against legalizing pot.

If pot is legal, murderers should get to murder people!

If marijuana is legalized, we should abolish child labor laws, too!

If people can smoke pot, they should be able to sell their daughters into indentured servitude!

C'mon guys...prove me wrong.
