Oh come on. I've heard this kind of stuff for years - that hemp and pot will cure all the world's problems. Well, it won't. And if you think for a second that Big Pharma won't take over this endeavor (once it is decriminalized nationwide) you are sadly mistaken.

Well, what other reason do you have for not allowing it? It can't be economic as it would probably boost the economy and it can't be safety as it's not any more dangerous than tobacco and alcohol. I'm assuming then the only reason is from some ingrained ethical perspective, which also doesn't make sense because if it's then you would probably be ethically against alcohol, and tobacco as those are also "drugs". I'll admit the 18 year olds going to war is a stretch and probably unrelated to this argument.

My point is that if alcohol and tobacco are to be allowed, then so should pot as the effects of it are no worse according to studies. I just don't see a con of allowing marijuana to be legalized.

I don't find much validity to the argument that because other things are bad for you we should allow something else that is harmful. We could justify much with that line of thinking. Moreover, there are studies galore on alcohol and tobacco. Plus, humans have been using them for thousands of years. We know what we are dealing with. Not true with pot. We know very little about its effects. For example, did you know that pot smoke has 70% more carcinogens than tobacco smoke?

That said, i don't really care if people use it. That's their decision. I am against it for two reasons. First, we are being lied to about the whole thing. People have been told that this will only be good and there is no down side. That is a lie. Not one person in a thousand know that the smoke is carcinogenic. Nor do they know that it lowers a person's IQ. In other words, people are voting in ignorance. The second reason is that I want it kept illegal is because I want as many progs in jail as possible. That is good for the country.

Aint that the truth.

That is good for the country.

 

Nobody ever knows the whole truth, but I have never heard of someone being killed from it. On the otherhand alcohol, e-cigs, tobacco, pills, GMO's, HGH, antibiotics, other chemicals and legal drugs... Unbiased, thorough research hasn't been done on all of these either, yet they are still allowed. Some actually is proven to be extremely harmful and outlawed around the world (GMO's) everywhere except the U.S. I don't know how you can support alcohol and not medical marijuana. Marijuana has probably been around just as long as tobacco and alcohol and has also been used for thousands of years.  IMO, it's just kind of hypocritical to allow one and not the other. If you do think its shouldn't be legalized, then you should also be making an effort for alcohol and tobacco to be banned as they are also "bad". However, this was already tried back during prohibition and it didn't work. So now, I think your opinion is just based on a health concern. In this case, it's not like people are forced to buy it and same with alcohol and tobacco. It's harmful but you're not forced to buy it, and yet you are still given the choice if you want to. If you want to vote, based on health reasons there are a lot of other things you can be against and non-profits you could support, not just be anti-pot. If you're voting for economic reasons then consider the pros and cons? Otherwise, you are practically voting against the freedom of choice, which sounds like communism to me.

You do know your taxes are paying for these people to be in jail. A majority of which aren't even a threat to society, unless you really think all progs are a threat.

Edit:

Also you say we know little about the effects of pot, yet you assume that the cons outweigh the pros. It could just as well be be beneficial. So how do you that we are allowing something bad to be legalized, when the effects are unknown? It sounds like you made up your mind before even considering it. Of course you could be right and years from now we find it harmful, but wouldn't you still want the choice?

Remember, No choice= communism

John Morgan invested in having this voted on, so that Democrats would get out to vote for Charlie Crist. John Morgan and The Mint Julep Millionaire Boys own Charlie.

This is who you are really voting for.

Voting "for"...because if Conservatics are all against it...it's probably gonna be OK for the working people. All criminalizing weed does is provide a cottage industry for the legal system. Kid gets caught with enough weed and it's a felony arrest costing thousands in legal fees and fines. If Republicans are lucky the kid will get thrown into one of those private prisons Republicans voted in right after they invested in them.

In short, culture should be promoted by through values not legal rights and is also less costly and more effective.

For. It should be legal across the board.

Enough with these piss-ant arrests for pot, prison should be for actual criminals.

for.

It's mostly natural, although hybridized breeding through the years has really bumped up the potency. At least with natural options, it is another choice. My buddy in big pharma (actuarial scientist) said due to the natural, non-controlled characteristics of this plant, they prolly won't deal with it. They are all about control, as in formulated in a lab and patentable. Maybe some smaller players might mingle in it. Big pharma DOES NOT want it available as it dilutes profits. It would be sad to see some attempt at a GMO option by big pharma to try to hedge the system. I recently saw a pic of GMO corn seeds. They are blue. Kinda freaky.

You don't think they will create pills that have the same effects or chemicals that the plant has?

They have already tried. They cannot replicate a plant, they replicate mostly single shots of organic compounds. I've not read the verbiage of the amendment. There are multitudes of varieties of the plant. Not sure what the law will hold them to, nor potency. No matter for me, as I won't be partaking for a long time.



I do encourage everyone to vote yes on Amendment 1 though. As a surfer, it is in your best interest.

Info on Ammendment 2

Educate yourself, much of what the people on this here 2L surf forum are saying about this is not correct:

Ie: Can a licensed physician prescribe the tree?

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Tpa.. lots of industrial complexes will loose employees and business.

Like tobacco workers looking their jobs would be a bad thing.time to reconstitute prohibition to me.

No question pot has way more medicinal and social value than cigs or alcoholics etc puts it as worse than coke. Cry or laugh...

Never saw anyone get violent because of eating - or smoking - pot, hash thc etc

Funny ass with Michael Brown getting shot with weed in his system - just shows that the cop is guilty as hell. Wonder if he had caffeine or speed in his system..

That's some of that dumbshit about pot being the cure-all that I mentioned in the first post in this thread.

Smoking dope won't cure cancer, period.  Nor will eating it.
