Legalizing weed is just the beginning.... soon hard core drugs will be main stream... the left will rationalize it too with their morally corrupt thinking.
What's the matter? Do you fear you're not strong enough to keep from being a cocaine and heroin addict should both be legalized?

Wow. Another "small government conservative" who is against freedom and personal responsibility.
Freedom to make your own choices is always a good thing. Anyway sounds like your cousins were already pot heads before legalization and your mother made her own choice too. You know at weddings there is typically a place to sit and drink booze and get drunk?
What else would you like banned today mr. John q public?
Freedom to make one's own choices is indeed a good thing but only when those making the choices are held accountable for the choices they make.
Edibles are completely different, and I don't understand AT ALL why they're so popular. I wouldn't dream of eating any kind of pot-infused food, and I've been smoking for a very, very long time. I did that once back when I was a teenager, and it was a horrible experience. It was like the effects from a regular smoking session multiplied by a hundred, and it lasted all day, all night, and into the next day. It was no fun at all, and as a seasoned pot smoker I could see how someone who's inexperienced could think they've gone insane, and become so delusional that they might do something stupid. I've never done any other drugs in my life (and never plan to), however I have heard people say that some of the marijuana edibles are more intense and mind altering than LSD.
You're not going to get any arguments from me regarding edibles, however you've got to understand that smoking / vaporizing is completely different. Three or four hits from a bowl or a one-hitter isn't gonna make a person "swan dive" from a balcony or think they're descending into hell. As far as any detrimental health effects from the actual smoke itself (lung damage), even a heavy pot smoker isn't inhaling nearly as much smoke in the course of a day as a person who smokes a half a pack of cigarettes daily.
All cannabis is not the same. It can be laced with things also, sounds like it was. There are many different cannabinoids, as well. Yes there is a difference in ingestion of various components and smoking. There is much evidence showing benefits for illness, however.
No, again you're wrong. Marijuana has been legal there since the 70s.
Heroin was virtually legal as of 2004. Thats when the crime families came in. Damn, do some research man.
I never argued pot was decriminalized recently. The crime families came in way before 2004, between 1988 and 1995 to be exact (which is when the study was done). Read with comprehension, and for crying out loud, do some research man Use the search function.
"Holland has decriminalized drugs and tried harm reduction. Since the softening of drug policy there, shootings have increased 40%, robberies 62%, and car thefts 62%. This experiment which was meant to decrease organized crime has resulted in an increase in organized crime families from 3 in 1988 to 93 today.
The number of registered marijuana addicts has risen 30% and the number of other addicts has risen 22%. "

now I really know what kind of lunatic you^^^ are. you actually condone beating people with up to 500 lashes for none violent bs crimes like drug and alcohol use.. you are a sick individual to bring up such a brutal country as a solution..
As I pointed out earlier, Finn has a personal dislike against marijuana. Not sure why, it could be monetary, or emotional.
Consistently, he uses conjecture and misinformation to prove his side. Marijuana has been legal in Holland since the late 70s, early 80s. Ask any airman who served at ramstein afb about the red light districts and the coffee houses in Amsterdam in the 80s.
In 2004, Holland virtually legalized heroin. After that, crime families have grown. It has nothing to do with marijuana, not one damned thing.
It is not my fault you do not comprehend what you read, and do not do any research of you own. The study I referred was talking about the crime families in 1995. How do you figure something that happened in 2004 would have anything to do with it? Please explain. Who told you the number of crime families increased after 2004? Stop making stuff up!!!
The number of crime families increased from 3 to 93 between 1988 and 1995.
