Given the other alternatives, yes. I would no more use Dilatin to quit smoking than I would use it to grow hair.
Gotta go with you on that, Bob. I cold-turkied successfully....but then, I'm one tough and determined fella.
You might want to check on who the domain is registered to before you attribute it's content to weakness or confusing perception with reality. These people know perfectly well the distinction between perception and reality. Their job is making sure you don't.
They evidently did a damn good job on Roscoe.
I'd hate to think we spent 152 million dollars and didn't get anything for it.
I saw that one during the Super Bowl. What a joke!
I didn't notice a commercial saying "Watching the Super Bowl leads to alcoholism!" Why not? It's more realistic.
Besides, I heard you go sterile if you smoke too many seeds. :-)~``
Yet I notice you haven't named a single one.
And who is going to do it if the govement doesn't.
I can't answer that till you tell me what those effects are.
That has no bearing on your claim that "a drug users actions affects the rest of the population".
Seems you would let the government sweep away the garbage instead of doing it yourself with community involvement. Little did you know, what looked as if they were cleaning the streets with good intentions ended up costing you billions and meanwhile they dig through your trash to make sure they have all the info they need to relinquish any freedom you think you may still have.
Freedom has become a mood point that gets tossed aside at any sign of terror or loss of life.
When we gave up our freedoms to protect a few hundred people from a bomb attack. caused by 5 to 20 people in a "cell". it probably made the hundreds of thousands of people who died fighting for our freedom turn in their grave and look at us with disgust, while calling us the biggest chicken ships to ever have the privilege to call ourselves Americans.
The government has backed hundreds of laws because it thought it was doing the right thing. We now know, through intelligence, evolution and discovery, that they were in fact the most outrageous offenses to society and freedom.
If arguments against ones beliefs and rights are backed by the fact that the Government said so, then you may as well move to another web site and stop telling me your rights supercedes mine because you do not agree. Otherwise, if you continue to say it's right because it's the law, then you will get regurgitated arguments about segregation and so on.
Our arguments are not about letting dope heads impregnate our daughters, drive over kids through Burger King and supporting terrorism through a joint. It is merely showing the uninformed that marijuana costs billions for the government to outlaw while over 30% of the population agree that it is not harmful to them or their neighborhood.
The Pros to legalized marijuana are many.
The Cons are ........... please fill in here.
If marijuana is such an addictive gateway drug then why do all addicts who go to harder drugs or alcoholism stop smoking or buying pot. Then, after rehabilitation, many go back to marijuana and do only that one herb for years and never have the urge to try anything else again. It is an obvious scene of addictive and experimental tendencies that most Americans have experienced in their own lives. Whether it be caffeine, cigarettes or even Reality TV shows, you cannot try and bulk a harmless human enjoyment with death, rape and the fall of society.
That has no bearing on your claim that "a drug users actions affects the rest of the population".
You are incorrect.
No, I am correct by inspection; dangers one inflicts on oneself do not affect the rest of the population.
