How can you have an opinion of something you've never experienced? Stop using other people's opinions and come up with your own.

But go ahead and fight it til the end. Just know this train is unstoppable.

Not at all. I've been around my white trash family my whole life and have seen what drugs can do. You may enjoy the feeling of being high and not thinking clearly. I do not. My wife's family is the same way. You would have thought that eventually after prison and death that people would break the cycle but they rarely do. There is a reason why jobs drug test and drugs are looked down upon with anyone with even the slightest of an IQ and class, but hey, stay high!

The drug train is unstoppable? Yes and prison, death and a lazy life full of mediocrity and health problems are it's first stops. I have my own opinion of it, facts are facts. You do that to your body and mind then you don't earn my respect. And if you do that at my job and they find out then you're fired.

I haven't either but I've seen my step sons, he's usually high and forgets damn near everything and he left it on the counter. That's how I know what it says in the back.

I don't even smoke weed, but I'm capable of thinking for myself and don't get hard over trying to control others through ignorance.

Your anecdotal experience with your inbred, white trash family means nothing. You keep putting weed in the same category as other drugs, or blaming the weed when someone you know makes incredibly poor choices. That's like blaming the booze when someone decides to drive drunk.

Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence would be able to think for themselves, and not fall for propaganda.

Inbred lol, that was legit funny. I give you credit for that one and I'm not even joking. Yes the people I know that made bad choices were or are on drugs. You're saying this is purely continental? I make mistakes every day, we all do. The difference is they're not major life changing mistakes. Merging too late is a bit different then 4 felonies, 3 drug related by the time you're 20. Watch the news, 9 times out of 10 the idiot who made the news by doing something stupid had drugs in his system. Surely that's coincidental though... How many people say they would never drink and drive when they're level headed but then get drunk do it. Again, not the alcohols fault at all right? In my opinion if they had a sober mind then they would never make that decision in the first place. Entry level position at my job is 72k per year. I've been there 14 years and make low six figures, 2 people within the last month got fired over Marijuana. You have to ask yourself, is it really worth it? My answer is clear.

Of course it's not the alcohol's fault. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If they can't handle drinking, then they shouldn't do it. Just because they can't handle it, doesn't mean everyone else should be banned from doing it. Should we ban McDonald's because it can make people fat?

There are risks with everything in life. Drinking, cigarettes, weed, eating too much, driving even when sober, playing sports, flying, etc. The point I'm trying to make is we shouldn't be trying to control everyone because some people can't handle it. Plenty of people can drink and smoke weed responsibly. Your family can't. That's their problem, and not everyone else's.

If you're so concerned about drugs, then you should want alcohol and tobacco banned too based on the arguments you've used. They can be 'gateway' drugs, incredibly addictive, cause deaths, and plenty of people commit crimes while drunk, many of them violent crimes. It's an incredibly hypocritical mindset. You're so proud of yourself for never using drugs, but have you ever drank or smoked a cigarette? If the answer is yes, then you're a hypocrite. If you want everything illegal, then your stance would be a lot more understandable. I wouldn't agree, but at least it's not hypocritical.

And of course it's not worth getting fired over marijuana. But they shouldn't have been fired over it in the first place. There's nothing wrong with using weed responsibly on their own time. They were just dumb enough to get caught.

Intelligent post. And I wouldn't mind one bit if alcohol and cigarettes were banned, tackle that along with the obesity crisis and America as a whole would be a lot more healthier.

You don't know your history, do you? We tried banning alcohol. Consumption went up, crime went up, and much more harm was caused than good. That is the exact scenario we are dealing with today with mj prohibition.

You have said a couple of times you have seen what mj does to your family members and it sickens you. What sickens me is that you want to see me in jail for using a plant that motivates me, energizes me, and increases my creativity. All of these qualities HELPS me to do my job. I am self-employed in a very high tech field, and I don't need you looking down you nose at me thinking I am some sort of brain-dead zombie.

Your family issues would still exist even if the cannabis plant never existed. Mj did not cause those problems! I do believe it makes them worse, though, because someone who has the tendencies you described has no business using the type of weed that is purchased on the street. Those strains generally relax you, and for someone who is lazy to begin with they have no business using it.

But then you take what you have seen with you family and apply it to everyone, and to all strains of weed, and then turn it a double mistake by believing that prohibition somehow helps. Nothing could be further from the truth.
