Vulcanized@117: So you ripped my comments but yet did not state anything affirmative about your position. Did you cite any references that show THC is NOT addictive or that it will not harm your brain or system? Did you show us that using pot will not harm innocent people? Did you show us references where crime will be reduced by legalizing pot? I’m sure the Hells Angels and other MC gangs plus the crips/bloods will not want to see their fortunes taken away. Think they will not increase their efforts to control pot? I’m so sure that legalizing it would help Mexico and their drug cartels….

Did you give us a reason to legalize pot? Other than making the comparison with alcohol that if it’s okay to drink it should be okay to do dope, have you defined why it should be legal to use. Doing one bad thing-alcohol should not be your best argument for doing another bad thing. You can do better I’m sure.

Can you tell us that pot will not cause more traffic accidents due to its intoxicating effects? Surely you cannot believe that smoking pot will NOT lead to people doing stupid things like driving under the influence. Remember that thing about responsibility.

Some may claim that doing H is necessary and helps them; should we make allowances and legalize H? And let’s not forget the racial component here: many blacks are in jail for crack use and many may want to do crack as their recreational drug of choice so should we make crack legal? Meth? coke? In the 60s I’m sure devotees to drug use would tell us that LSD was okay to use and should be legal. How about bringing LSD back?

Finally, why do you need to smoke pot? It seems you are arguing from the standpoint that pot is essential to you and you cannot function without it.

Look you have the perfect storm in Congress to get pot legalized. So why not turn your ire on them and get them to legalize it. I bet the Messiah would support you.
