Dude, I get everything you're saying, but it doesn't mean that pot is still the greatest thing since sliced bread. I am sure it's a great homeopathic way to ween off pharmaceuticals but my point is that just because it has some benefits it doesn't mean that everyone is going to see it as the wonder drug alternative that might revolutionize our way of thinking and help society foster greater understanding or whatnot. It's a natural herb that has some benefits and was unjustly maligned for many decades. I support it's legalization but that's about as far as I personally go, and don't need a pot evangelist to proselytize me into the church of cannabis.
It's precisely the preachyness of the pot culture that might annoy some people, even if those people might agree with a lot of their salient points. It just needs to be legal so people won't needlessly go to jail for it.
If you support legalizing it & don't care if people smoke it, then why do you keep posting negative posts about it? Just say it & be done with it.

Did I say any of the things in bold? No, I did not.
If I came across as preachy then I apologize, that was not my intent. However, I think it is more likely that you have somehow become hyper-sensitized to it.
I am simply trying to write facts and provide information using words that people won't or can't read into. Apparently I am failing. But not on the facts part.
I think people have become hyper sensitized to the people who extol the virtues of pot to a level that borders on hyperbole. So yes I might be a bit sensitive since there are many converts to the cult of cannabis in my generation. I think it's great that you benefit from it, but others might just want to get buzzed. Either way, we're in agreement that no one should go to jail for it.
I don't disagree but when a person decides to smoke weed for the first time they are making a very deliberate choice and deciding to cross a very bold line our society had drawn.
I think it is worse than that. Kids don't deliberate for a while and then finally decide to cross a bold line. They act on impulse.
So when the law draws a line in the sand, and a kid who is under peer pressure sees it, then looks over and sees the gaggle of girls who just love the "bad boy" type, it actually becomes a glamorous line to cross.
That's true of any law, but especially true of pot. It is so easy to get, and it doesn't cause the harm of hard drugs, so the line drawn in the sand by marijuana prohibition is one of the most glamorous of all to cross.
Kudos to you for the most ignorant, drama queen, henny penny, arm flapping, hysterical, stupid posts I've seen this morning.
I don't know. Failing to properly blend one's foundation is a pretty serious offense. And just the other day someone threatened me in the parking lot with a box of blue hair color. It was terrifying.
my comment was in response to the poster that said pot could / would lead to harder drugs. I responded by giving an example of how / why that happens when you visit a place to buy pot, and have easy access to the harder drugs, and how that is not the case where it's legal.
anyway, to answer your question, yes, I would be ok with it. I don't care much for alcohol, so I don't go into those store, but I don't care who does either
Yes, but you're making it seem as though those harder drugs are bad and the only reason why people who smoke pot get hooked on them is because they're shady dealer is upselling them. I assumed you thought they were bad and didn't need legalizing. Just pot, because it's not as harmful.
Yet, you're ok with ending the war on drugs and having meth sold like alcohol, but don't think a pot user will patron both a weed store AND an opium den?
