[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who smoke pot regularly and not for legitimate medical reasons (cancer) are losers. [/quote]

People who judge others, based on one little thing like smoking pot, without knowing anything else about them- are the losers. [/quote] people who are too baked to see and admit what a loser they are are losers. [/quote]

See, that's silly. First, how do you know why someone smokes? I take a few puffs a few nights a week to help me fall asleep. Wow, what a loser. I went to work, doing honorable work, came home, made dinner, worked on a painting (I'm an artist, what do you do after work, stare at your tv?), had a few puffs and took a nice bath. Got some sleep. Today I'm going to clean my house and plant some plants. Paint some more , maybe go for a walk.

My point is, my life is totally boring and normal. It's not a loser life, it's a quiet one. I'm considerate, I don't smoke in public. I also drink very little alcohol. Lots of folks live like me. Reefer Madness was always silly.[/quote]

The simple reality is a lot of pot smokers are stoners. They're losers. They've worsened their lives because of pot. Protesting that you're different only shows your selfishness. We have a national drug crisis and pot is a big part of that bundle. But the liberal middle classes would rather have unfettered access to their drugs than allow any restrictions even though that might be the best all around solution for more people.  I don't care if you pat yourself on the back for otherwise being a decent person, you're still engaging in a substance that has substantial consequences for many people, including youths, and you need to accept the price of being part of that demand for increased tolerance and legalization of drugs - namely, others will suffer from it.

Ok, so when do you start prohibition on alcohol? A MUCH worse drug. You ready to completely go back to that timeline?

I'm not patting myself on the back. It's just that I see it very differently. Pot is not the crisis you think it is. All substances have abusers- weed, beer, sugar, tv. Some are completely evil, like heroin, and some are more passive, like pot. Making pot legal, cutting off the funneling of it illegally, and using it in medical ways- from big, like cancer, to small, like my insomnia- reduces the issue. The focus here needs to be on helping people fight pain and reduce opioid addiction.

And btw- liberals? Huh? I have met a ton of conservative red neck types that love to get high and drink. I now live in a legal state that had election issues of legal pot and gay marriage in the same year. The legal pot passed easily in the red areas. Gay marriage barely squeaked by. Your rhetoric is highly flawed. [/quote]

Your analogy with a prohibition on alcohol is highly flawed. We don’t let people drink in the streets and you can get arrested for public drunkenness. Why should we let them toke and be stoned on the streets. That’s all most people here are saying. [/quote]
