Is pot smoking evil?!

[Sacred Jellybean]

Marijuana may be slightly less evil than other drugs because it doesn't kill you directly. Oh joy. That is such a great endorsement! Its slightly less bad for you !

Right... one of the main reasons to outlaw drugs is that they're hazardous to one's health, and citizens need to be kept from endangering themselves. Unlike alcohol, cocain, crack, heroin, ecstacy, etc, though, you can't die from the toxicity of marijuana. I also still maintain that stoned people are a lot less harmful to each other than drunk people.

I personally think baseball is a mindless and pointless activity, but I don't knock you or anyone else for getting involved in it. The same should go for you, you shouldn't knock people who enjoy the recreational use of marijuana. You may not understand the fun in it, as I don't understand the fun in baseball, but that doesn't mean others shouldn't be allowed to engage in the activity.

Driving while talking on a cell phone is dangerous and has caused accidents , Any kind of Imparement can be disasterous, Marijuna would effect your concentration and slow down your thinking, effect your vision.

There are people who are dangeorus even while Sobre so just add little more imparement to them and you got yourself a wreckless driver.

Responsibility should rest on the shoulders of the drug user, not the government.

Thing about pot is that you're still SMOKING it, and thus all the bad effects of smoke in your lungs are there, thus pot can still kill you using one of the ways cigarette smoking kills people.

I would say "But teh tobacco is legal!!!11!!11", but you don't think that should be legal either, so there wouldn't be a point. I will, though, say that there are alternatives to smoking. Medical marijuana isn't smoked, is it? I read about a THC pill (THC is a main component in marijuana) somewhere, but I haven't had any incentive to do research on it. There's also another device I read about... a vaporizer, or something? I could dig around to look for it again, but supposedly it lets you enjoy marijuana without the adverse effects of smoking it.

Personally, I think smoking it with people is part of the fun. Rolling and passing a joint/pipe feels good, like everyone in the group is sharing the same great mellow high. It takes away my social anxiety and opens me up, too, so I can share more of my mind with the group as well.

And, as Fittisize said, it's fun as hell, god dammit.

That's the same thing as alot of drunk drivers who run over little kids say. I'd never drive while high, especially after the incident with my bike

I guess you'd just have to trust me when I say that I would never get behind the wheel if I felt too stoned to concentrate. There's nothing else I can really convince you with.

Decriminalizing pot is a good thing. If you smoked pot in high school, got busted for it and had it put on your criminal record, then it would be extremely hard to get a decent job after that. Just for a couple of joints you smoked in high school! People do lots of things in high school that they shouldn't, and those few years shouldn't be held against you for your entire life.

I forgot to say that I agree whole-heartedly with this.
