Come back and talk to me when you are done. Disclaimer: Not for the weak minded tho. I have to disagree. First, because I know people that should avoid anything that distorts their perception of reality. Second, because I would recommend natural over synthetic."That looks dangerous."

jcd11235 0 #88 December 21, 2006 QuoteSo why add one more to the mix. I didn't say we should. I said the scientific evidence suggests that fears of people driving under the influence of cannabis may well be unfounded. It would be great of no one ever ate while they drove. Or drove after taking cold medicine. Or talked on the phone while behind the wheel. Or searched for that pack of Marlboro and their lighter. Or put on makeup. Or stirred their coffee. Or tuned the radio. Or any one (or more) of a number of things that all reduce our ability to drive at our maximum ability. However, these things are here to stay. I don't think arbitrarily prohibiting one activity while driving, while leaving other activities legal, will make our roads any safer. Furthermore, I have never seen a stoned (cannabis) driver get road rage, which often happens to some sober drivers.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

4201 0 #91 December 21, 2006 I’m all for legalization of marijuana but the government would not want to give up all the money that it makes by seizing the drug money before it leaves the country. So I actually think the government makes more money by keeping marijuana illegal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if prohibition ended (not just legalization of pot) I think crack would virtually disappear, since high quality powder cocaine would be readily available at a reasonable price. I also think that coke availability would also significantly reduce meth usage. X gets a bad rap and is not as dangerous as many believe, assuming it is unadulterated. Don't get me wrong, it's not safe, but the risk can be reduced to a manageable level, much like skydiving.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

If the "gateway" drug thing is real - then why haven't alcohol and tobacco done the same? They're as damaging overall (when you take out the crime aspect, which legalization would eliminate.)
