Anyone who proposes legalizing this, without a law that allows the government to tax it, is insane.
Weak. Come on, you can do better than that.
Get your quoths right. It’s “The pump don’t work

Or brain cells that talk to each other.
He’s turning into a HUGE IDIOT!!
I agree with Pat Robertson..legalize IT.
I respectfully disagree with you.
Telling people that it’s legal to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, but not OK to smoke pot, strikes me as absurd.
Cigs and booze, much worse for you then pot. In my humble experiances. The arguement that it harms some people who do it PALES to the number of people harmed by cigs and booze.
And no, I do not advocate prohibition of booze and cigs.
And hard drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, should clearly remain illegal.
“Pot should definitely not be legalized. It’s already robbed many kids of their full potential...”
You seem to be arguing that prohibition has NOT WORKED.
I see some libertarian heads exploding...
There are clinical pathological effects including psychosis, paranoia, and memory loss. It is not like alcohol - it is a psychedelic drug and does often lead to experimentation with more dangerous drugs.
Went to college with a guy who was a heavy pot user. Nice guy, very laid back who succeeded in destroying his short term memory. Couldn’t remember a thing, had difficulty performing any task that required more than a few simple sequential steps. Actually locked himself out of his car with the engine running once. Very sad to see what he did to himself.
Pat Robertson is very wrong on this along with several other issues. I don’t know what’s happened to him but he has clearly abandoned God’s Word in several areas and substituted his own feeble reasoning.
There's no way it should be legalized. Kids who take it are hurting their future.
You're comparing apples and oranges. Cigarettes are physically threatening and booze if abused, can be physically threatening as well and also can become addictive.
The issue with pot is its psychological damage to the user including an almost immediate issue with paranoia and some degree of psychosis. Over a long time of use, it can be psychologically very damaging.
Well, enforcement another issue. I'm simply saying that pot is psychologically destructive and shouldn't be legalized. We should be aware of its dangers and get smart about how to deal with the problem of its use in society. I think the fact of its illegality at least has some kind of deterrent effect and that's good.
I'm angry at Pat for saying these things.
He’s probably going to sell it and call it Holy Land high.
Legalize consensual behavior? Yes. It’s my body and I own it so let me put in it what I choose to.
Certainly not cigarette smokers. Of course, they're getting closer and closer to getting locked up themselves, so there ya go.
Smoking tobacco and drinking alcolhol lead to more tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking and whatever physical and behavioral baggage comes along with it.
Smoking dope not only has its own undesired effects, it very often leads to use and abuse of other, more deadly drugs.
I am always amazed at the numbers of hypocritical rabid anti-tobacco zealots who avidly promote the legalization of pot.
