No. People are already idiots, just imagine if everyone was high while doing their jobs or driving. I don't even understand why people do it, is your life that terrible that you need a substance to feel better?

  • This is the biggest problem with legalizing weed. People can't do there jobs if they are always high.

  • Same thing with alcohol. Let's ban that! But wait, what happened when we banned alcohol? The only people who controlled alcohol were the gangs. You can either have the government in control or the gangs in control of it. What do you prefer?

  • You're the only one that's presented a good point. I would rather people not be weak & use it at all, but the government would be better than gangs.

  • Of course not everyone does it, but a lot do. They recently did a study on doctors & it showed that a lot of them were battling drug & alcohol addictions, but still allowed to work. Idk about you, but I don't want someone that's high or drink to preform surgery on me or a loved one. Everyone thinks that weed doesn't impair driving or ability to work, so imagine what would happen if it became legal. Not that hard to figure it out.

    Who thinks doing theat won't impair your driving ability. I really don't think many people think this at all

    That's sad I like pot and all but a few things that are beyond question to me. One being it impairs your motor skills, smoking anything is not good for me and weed is definitely not making anyone smarter. That being said I still enjoy the occasional toke on a weekend with friends

  • It's extremely horrible, having conversations with people that support it. Like I said I'm all for the freedom of doing what you want, but inform yourself on it. The people I've conversed with in real life don't think it impairs you at all. They drive & work while under the influence. They put puerile in danger just because they feel like it. Like I said people are already idiots, this makes it worse.

  • You do know that not all recreational drug use is because people are upset with life? That is a very simplistic way of thinking. I have a masters degree, a beautiful girlfriend, wonderful sisters and an awesome brother. I have good friends and I'm generally pretty happy. I smoke marijuana because it is a fun thing to do. I don't drive or go to work high. Same situation for alcohol. Not every single alcohol user gets behind the wheel or shows up to work inebriated.

  • [quote]I smoke marijuana because it is a fun thing to do.[/quote] So you can't have fun with it? I'm not saying thats the only reason people do it, I just don't understand what other reason it could be. I use to drink & smoke to, it was because of the reason I listed & I'm sure that's why plenty of people do it. I'm glad you hear you don't do those things, but sadly you don't speak for the entire population.

  • [quote]but sadly you don't speak for the entire population.[/quote] Neither do you. Your original post was worded in such a way that you seemed to claim your experience as universal. This is not the case. I rebutted with my differing experience to show you that there are many different reasons. [quote]So you can't have fun with it? [/quote] Here, I'm assuming you meant "so you can't have fun without it?" That is simply the worst possible deduction to conceive from my post. Why do you play video games? (I assume video games are what brought you to this forum) because they're fun. Can you have fun without video games? Yes. But would you quit video games all together because you can have fun without them?

  • [quote] I don't even understand why people do it, is your life that terrible that you need a substance to feel better?[/quote] I asked a question, did I say that's why people do it, no. I want to know why people smoke weed because it seems like a stupid thing to do. You enjoy it, good for you, I could careless what you do. But I'm not going to vote for it to be legal because that's stupid & a waste of time. No matter how many of you comment, I'm not going to suddenly think the opposite. You guys can & will continue to do it illegally & if you go to jail, that's on you. I have no sympathy at all, you're all adults and can make conscious decisions on your own.

  • Your entire post was littered with contradictions and poor excuses for logic. I hope you don't vote at all. Your vote is as useful as an autistic whale's vote. You seem uneducated and unable to hold a conversation properly. I promise you will sway no one to your side. You are on the wrong side of history.

  • I will vote & it will be against it. I could care less what you or anyone else thinks honestly. It's legal for medical use & that's the only thing that matters. I'm sorry I don't support yours or anyone else's habits. Grow up & learn to deal with life

  • Your vote will be lost in the sea of supporters who actually know what they're talking about. You are the one who should grow up and actually do some research into how beneficial recreational legalization really is instead of regurgitating what your parents tell you to think.

  • Lol implying my parents talked to me about this. People don't agree with your opinion, get over it. I'm allowed to think & vote the way I please, just like you are. No need to get butthurt. Oh I'm sorry it would boost the economy right? Just like cigarettes & alcohol did? Hmm

    The U.S. Made $17.6 million dollars of tax revenue on cigarettes in 2012 http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=403 Alcohol tax revenue was ~$6.5 million in 2012 http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=399 Recreational marijuana brought in $53 million dollars of tax revenue in Colorado alone in 2014. https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/revenue/colorado-marijuana-tax-data These are all government websites, btw. Also, legalization of a narcotic of this nature that is linked to millions of non violent offenders in prison will save millions of tax dollars as well. Your opinion is based on ignorance of facts, that is what is wrong.

    Wow and that managed to bring down our dept so much! Btw it won't help if people are using their welfare checks to buy weed. There are other things we could do to boost the economy, people are putting to much focus on this. Those people are in jail for being idiots and breaking the law, it's their own fault. Do you want then to be given a cookie?

  • The debt problem isn't a problem of revenue. The U.S. has a fairly high GDP. The problem is over spending. You clearly don't know anything about taxation, debts, or politics in general. You have the understanding of this issue I would expect from a middle schooler. You're way of thinking on this matter is extremely elementary and based solely on conjecture.

  • My life got pretty terrible so I used it a bit and it helped me feel good about myself and the situation rather than sitting there wondering when to end it. I'm not one for smoking though, I quite like my lungs really.

  • I agree with medical use for it, which is legal. I however do not support recreational use for it. I'm glad to hear that you're doing better! :)

  • Cheers Coco things are starting to slowly look up. To be fair though, if it did become legal for recreational use I don't think it's be as prominent as it is right now where it is illegal in England. Again, like the chat yesterday( was it yesterday?), I think it's something to do with society and culture again in youths.

  • I honestly can't believe you're only 15, it baffles me. You act so different than most 15 year olds here. I'd hope it wouldn't be as prominent, but I just don't know. There's already been accidents with people under the influence of weed & that's, that it's illegal. Did it decrease in England? Kinda seems like England is the place to be, I might be moving lol.

  • Yeah England is alright I guess. The government right now though is quite frankly shambles. And yep, I'm 15. Plus the half Asian side of me is keeping me looking silky smooth so that's another thing to solidify my youth.
