That all depends on the country. we have plenty of pot growing in this country, but it DOES get processed into hash on occasion. Plus, the countries that grow the coca and opium plants have plenty of people who use it just like americans and everyone else use pot.


So my point stands :)

I'm for the decriminalization of all drugs. I don't use 'em (don't even smoke pot), but I don't think it is the government's business what we do with our bodies. The laws should be in place to protect people from other people. Plus, think of all the prison space you'd free up! Fill those with the criminals who are dangerous to others.

Mine as well. The coca and opiate plants, in their unprocessed form, aren't NEARLY as addictive. There are still countries where the coca plant is used for it's medicinal purposes, mainly for dental pain as a numbing agent.

These plants, in their raw form, are not harmful to NEARLY the same degree that the processed forms are.

I'm just in an argumentative mood today.

My dad (who is a policeman) would kill me if he knew this, but I'm all for legalization of pot. Its basically the same as smoking cigarettes. If you choose to do it, go ahead. Obviously there should be some huge penalties for driving while high, but do whatever you want in the privacy of your own home.

I just dont think making it illegal is stopping very many people from doing it anyway.

At any rate, i agree. the worst that can happen is people get the munchies and act like idiots, which they were going to do anyway. Let the government profit off of it. They already tax the shit out of liquor.


Yay me, Post 1972, the year the Exorcist Came out :)
You say that like booze don't kill anyone. Idiots driving drunk are a lot more dangerous to my health and yours than someone tokin' some leaf at home on the couch.

Not to mention that drinking too much can kill you even if you are smart enough not to drive. Blood alcohal poinsoning, liver problems, etc...

I figured you would come back with this eventually... :)

I'm not ssaying that at all. i know alchohol is very destructive. Shit, if you got too bad with oranges, something bad would happen.
