Should the possession of marijuana be legal?

[Nickel Empire]

So your saying marijuana is addictive?

No...cigarettes and morphine are, however.

You just said it is addictive.

[Punkvania]

They both do the exact same things as marijuana so how is it any different?

Opiates are highly addictive and the body rapidly builds a tolerance towards them, which limits their effective use to those patients that are in large amounts of pain. Marijuana, on the other hand, is much less addictive and, while a tolerance is still built over time, is less likely to result in lethal side effects and drug interactions. Cigarettes cause cancer, Marijuana doesn't inherently do so.

Opiates and alcohol are the only drugs you can die from detoxing from. Marijuana- you aren't shaking and devoid of important vitamins the day after, your body is not dependent on THC. You may be tired, you may be hungry... but you're never putting yourself in physical danger after having quit smoking marijuana.

And yet alcohol is legal almost everywhere in the world, and opiates are available and profitable everywhere you go.

Regardless of health concerns, they should all be legal. To appeal to the public health against drug legalization is a BS argument, because if those who are for it are consistent, then not only should opiates be banned, but so should cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, marijuana, pharmaceutical drugs, etc.

Implying those two, not marijuana.

How is being tired and hungry not dangerous.

"Much less addictive" does not mean it is addictive it means it is less addictive than his examples. Even if it is not addictive at all, it is still less addictive. Please stop with semantics.

Opiates and alcohol are the only drugs you can die from detoxing from. Marijuana- you aren't shaking and devoid of important vitamins the day after, your body is not dependent on TCH. You may be tired, you may be hungry... but you're never putting yourself in physical danger after having quit smoking marijuana.

And yet alcohol is legal almost everywhere in the world, and opiates are available and profitable everywhere you go.

As far as I know, Opiate withdrawal isn't lethal. Alcohol withdrawal most certainly can be.

Nobody gives a fuck whether it's dangerous or not. There is a difference between danger, which is caused by so many things in modern society such as driving, breathing and drug use, and harmful, which means it inherently causes harm.

Drugs are dangerous, but do not inherently cause harm.

Are you a couch and a twinkie?

Good thing I'm under 18.

I'm hungry right now, it's not dangerous.

[Infected Mushroom]

why should anyone be licensed at all?

drug dealing is unethical. Its by definition exploitation.

How do you feel about medical marijuana?

we can carve out special exceptions to be prescribed by doctors, but on the whole, it should stay banned.

we should not encourage young people to try more dangerous and addictive substances.

Nobody is encouraging them. Just because we legalize homosexual marriage doesn't mean we are encouraging homosexuality, it means we are allowing individual choice and this thing called freedom.

Like oxygen and caffeine and people who refuse to read sources.

Those are the only two objects I could think of that were in danger during couchlock and the munchies respectively.

Sorry- Benzos. I lump them in together, which is not fair... but the same idea apllies that there are only two known substances that you can die from quitting.

Everyone knows sources are liberal, drug addict propaganda. *nods*

is it a dangerous and addictive recreational drug like marijuana or heroin?

if so, it should be banned unless a doctor prescribes it on a case by case basis to help with certain medical conditions.

in most cases, banned i think.

You can't even be bothered to click on a link. If you had any credibility, it's long gone now. Thanks for playing Kefka.

i'm not going to address the oxygen claim.

Caffeine isn't comparable in terms of its danger to marijuana. Marijuana is way more dangerous.
