Thread: Cannabis Consumption vs Alcohol Consumption

i agree with you fully
also if we wernt supposed to have weed then why did god put it on the planet, why did jesus wear it around his waist, and why is there seveal thing in the bible saying stuff like"thou sall eat the herb of the earth" and "i give to you every seed bearing plant"

well i was gonna stay out of this but i cant and yea God might of said thos things but it also says in the bible that we are to obey all the laws of man unless they go against God law and it not like it's a command to smoke weed so it would still be a sin along as it illegal yo.

well the laws making weed illegal are aginst my reilgion
im my religion it is used in rituals to gain inner peace and wisdom
i am rasta

But rastas from my understanding still believe in the bible. So how can you justify leaving pieces out? Just interested not meant to be insulting.

I agree with Arrianna and xbeyondxthexgravex. I don’t give a damn about what it can do to "benefit" us. Its uses are worth sh*t when we have other and in most cases better options that don’t screw you over. Not to mention you will become as Arrianna said, psychologically addicted to this crap. Not to mention we have enough stupid people in the world who already have little grasp of reality as it is. No point in making them see rainbows in a damn washing machine.

Also I happen to agree with Beyond (At least with his reasoning any way.) Just because god put it here doesn’t mean you should use it. Sort of like the story with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden with the apple. Same thing here, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I am sorry Young Wolf but that is more the long the lines of your problem not our problem. The substance has been ban for a very long time now and most people in the US would like to keep it that way. I know I do.

Legalizing it for any such ridiculous reason as that will just make it harder to get ride of when it's abuse reaches levels exceeds those that contributed to it's being made illegal in the first place.

The drug is considered one of the most psychologically addicting drug there is and can totally destroy the ability to deal with problems without lighting up. Girlfriend dumps you, smoke. Father dies, smoke. Lost your job, smoke. You go nowhere fast on that crap and blow what little brains you may have out with the smoke, eventually permanently. Want to use it medicinally? It does not have to be legalized for that just regulated and without regulation I don't buy this "we legalize it for medicinal purposes" bull the pro legalization lobbyists try and use when we all know they just don't want to get arrested for making "magic brownies" for them and their friends.

When all is said and done the last person I will listen to when it comes to the legalization of an addictive drug, physically or psychologically, is someone using the crap. Thank you.

And the last person some should take advice from is someone who hasnt personally tried it either.

Marijuana is by NO means one of the most psychologically addicting drug there is. Obvisouly you dont know much about the effects of weed. Like Ive said before, studies have shown that Alcohol is more addictive than marijuana, it hasnt been but 10 years ago when sceintist just found out that marijuana was addictive at all, and is much less harmful than alcohol is altogether, even less harmful than tobacco.

I would like for you to state facts rather than a rational opinion before agruing on this topic please!

Right so lets ban something that has been proven countless times that can save cancer paitents lives and restores people's eyesights. But let's keep two things that will kill you or kill almost every organ in your body minus your ears. ALMOST EVERY ORGAN. Would you rather kill a couple brain cells or lose functioning of almost all your major organs minus your ears?

Besides I kill more brain cells each day by getting hit in the head by sports equipment and on the door frame of a car. And yet sports aren't illegal nor is metal? Isn't that ironic. Hitting your head damages your brain worse than just taking a few puff from a herb. So let's ban all herbs too they could be "dangerous" to your health.

Again I agree.
Why bann somthing that has been proven to be much less harmful and at the same time can save lives and do some good, but keep those things that are much more harmful and has killed many more people with no good side at all?

it doesnt make sense to me at all. honestly i think the government has made marijuana look like such a bad thing that no one wants to argue for it, listen people, marijuana is not the drug must of you may think it is, its not a killer like alcohol or tobacco has made its name to be, and its not even as addictive as tobacco or alcohol is either, but yet you go to parties drink some liquior and smoke some cigars and say that weed is not what you do....i think that is completly retarded......
