Most likely nothing when it's consumed in moderation.

Two completely different subjects.

As I've said before, every time someone brings up alcohol when marijuana is the subject, I say why allow yet another problem into society? (Yes, I mean legally into society; I better say that so it's not misunderstood by some again.)
It's funny that YOU use the word "logic".

Marijuana is a nontoxic plant that does no damage when used in moderation.

A message to you people, once and for all: STAY OUT OF MY BODY.


Full disclosure: I use no recreational substances (legal or illegal) besides caffeine.

And many people ended up as hardcore drug addicts who began by using that "nontoxic plant that does no damage when used in moderation."

I don't know why some people can't accept the fact that there are people (such as I) who oppose legalizing marijuana. Post all you want about it, I am not going to change my mind.

Many of those people used the toxic byproduct of the fermentation of grapes or corn. People like me can't accept people like you because we don't like fascists (yes, it's true...accept it) who think they have the right to tell others how to live their lives and what they can or can't do with their own bodies. Why? Because the bible told you so. Your kind is losing the battle and slowly dying out. Have fun.

This sounds like a riff on the Domino theory that got us involved in Viet Nam.

It was way off base, too.

I can accept it. I also accept that there are people who still believe the Earth is flat and that left-handedness is caused by mental illness.

This is the same type of P.O.S. that would have tortured people who said the Earth was round, and would have tied their left-handed kid's left hand behind their back, with a beating every time they used it. Some people are absolutely hopeless, and unfortunately, they're still in charge despite illusory evidence to the contrary.


Organized monotheistic religion is a cancer on civilization.

I oppose legalization of marijuana because I think it would be a huge mistake to allow it (legally) into society and because it sets a very bad example for children... to legalize something which has harmed many people.

Of course there are some people who can't accept the views and morals of others. The above post is a great example.
