Not everyone who does drugs becomes an addict anymore then everyone who drinks becomes an alcoholic.
No, you're the stupid one. As usual, you aren't knowledgeable enough or smart enough to even comprehend what I said to you.
There was a 3,000 year old Imperial form of government in China. Legalized drugs collapsed that, caused massive death amongst it's people, destroyed it's economic viability, and made it so weak Japan could invade and conquer it, and here is your silly juvenile @$$ talking about 15 year old kids.
The rise of Mao is the direct consequence of China legalizing drugs. Legalized drugs in China was perhaps the world's worst disaster, and ignorant people nowadays don't even know about it.
It's not the right side of history, it's the idiot side of history, and it is of a kind with all the other idiot things people nowadays are doing, like "Gay Marriage" , Global Warming and "Transgender" men winning Women's beauty pageants.
The whole world has lost it's f***ing mind, and this is just part of the madness this generation is facing.
Q: Is Legalizing Pot a Good Idea?
A: Is banning something in a “Free Country” that represents Liberty and Personal Freedom a good thing?
Add in North Dakota, which is voting on full legalization in November.
Yeah, cuz that's what this article was about.
(I think my sense of humor is better than yours)
No. But it probably will happen. Today many people want no restrictions of any kind.
If pot and alcohol were suddenly discovered and we had to vote one into legality, I’d vote for pot. It’s cleaner than alcohol, it’s less harmful, no one has ever died from a weed overdose, and it has fewer social drawbacks than alcohol.
That is just an observation, not an endorsement. And if weed is a gateway drug to heroin etc, milk is a gateway drink to Everclear.
Barley, Hops, Yeast or cracked corn and sugar?
I knew a lot of addicts in my musician days. Every one of them smoked. Not weed, cigarettes. If there’s such a thing as a gateway drug, it’s tobacco. Some of them kicked heroin, but couldn’t quit cigs.

I know someone with PTSD that says pot is the only thing that helps. Legal drugs like alcohol makes it worse and is depressive to them. Our Vets with PTSD need it for medical use but it is not allowed in TEXAS. After speaking with the spouse of the person with diagnosed PTSD, I have changed my mind about the medical uses of pot. Not for recreational use but for medical reasons only.

Heroin works even better. I mean, if youre going to check out of reality to “solve” your problems, then just do it. Dont half ass it.
Of course, If you disagree with me and my efforts to legalize all natural heroin (which has been proven to cure ailments for centuries) then youre just a nanny stating fascist cop.
As long as Mexican cartels make money from marijuana I don’t think the drug war will end. I am hearing that Mexican pot is still cheaper than government controlled weed. Also, all the illegal operations in California they are still more cost effective than state run legal weed. Seems to me that it will always be cheaper and better to but from Bob down the block.
The black market will thrive and state governments will have a new revenue stream but I guess legal will never be more than 50% of the market.
I have never smoked weed, and my alcohol intake is less than one drink a month socially. So ban or no ban has no effect on me. I just do not like the enormous tax payer money spent on enforcing weed laws...from the arresting cops to courts to prisons. I would prefer if people were free to indulge in any intoxicating stuff so long as it was done in the privacy of their homes and they did not drive UI and hurt others in which case they should get a very stiff prison term.
“Colorado marijuana shops raked in a record $1.51 billion sales of medical and recreational cannabis, edibles and concentrate products during 2017, according to Colorado Department of Revenue data released Friday.”

Great idea! Need more drugs to kill the pain and escape reality. Besides, Opioids are getting so tiresome.
Oh... I don’t know about that :-)
