Only insofar as someone can get addicted to porn, video games, or the internet.

Anyone can get mentally addicted to anything.

Physical addiction is something completely different.

And you can smoke pot 24/7 and never get physically addicted to it.

Cannabis - Weed - Pot - Marijuana Addiction

Yep, NO ONE is addicted to marijuana. You are, of course, another clueless, ignorant individual, pushing drugs, for their own personal gain.
NFN dude, I haven't smoked pot in over 45 years...

And now I'm a "drug pusher"???? -- "for my own personal gain"???? (I thought pushers sold drugs and turned the proceeds over to the Red Cross)... OMG!!!!!!! you mean the pushers actually keep the money they get from selling drugs????

I never sold drugs...

They really do have you brainwashed don't they?

BTW, those URL's you posted? All drug clinics doing an excellent job of marketing/praying on clueless peoples fears....

**FAIL**

Think of all the people who's lives have been ruined because they had a join or two in their pocket while driving around. think of those who would be future leaders in this country, future scientists, engineers then think of how many dreams have been stomped on because they decided to get high in college or in high school this war on drugs is a FAILURE.


Love this song but what they say it's so true !! The war on drugs is a war on people and it's a war being fought for money and control. Those who are for small government should consider the war on drugs BS ! if not your a hypocrite ! Edit: the song I originally wanted they do not have up so this is another one I thought was really good and also for decriminalizing marijuana.

I think it would be just fine to do so. For those that don't have the sense not to partake.... survival of the fittest.

The war on drugs has been a horrid failure. people are imprisoned for worthless offenses so prison companies can make a buck. It is a horrid system we have, allowing private companies to run prisons. We should never have an incentive to keep people in jail.

legal drugs here would undermine the drug lords of Central and South America and provide far more safety for those areas. I think crime would dramatically fall. Revenues could rise as could employmen in taxable ways.

We'd do a lot of good in the world by ending the drug wars. Stop a lot of senseless violence.

Our economy could really use the boost and our enforcement resources need to be used on violent crimes and theft/burglary/fraud.

True. Some of my best Republican friends like to partake.

Legalizing drugs is not a left / right issue. It's a "government telling people how to live" issue.
