Would you legalise marijuana for tobacco to be banned?

[Vitaphone Racing]

I don't know, back when I worked in fast food I remember smiling politely at people who were either smashed or blazed and then wandering around the corner to loudly proclaim what annoying arseholes they were.

No offence though But Maccy D's is serious business. Customers must be srs about food.

Oh yeah, in chains you have to deal with the dickheads all the time, whether they're sober or not.
Guys from small takeaway shops almost always take it in good humour.

You got that right. Although the week after I finally left, I took great satisfaction in becoming one of those dickheads. And I have to tell you, it felt phenomenal.

I have a lot more respect for the late night takeaway stores though, the operators know exactly how to deal with their clientele.

[Camelza]

Legalise both!

[Rubrum Natio]

The fact that people already do just make it all the more shameful. Why escalate something instead of prevent it? It's funny yes I agree
I mean, if it's going to be legal it should stay out of the workplace for sure along with politics.

Well obviously. You think people can go to work drunk or fucked up on prescription drugs as it is now? Course not.

They can. But hopefully they get fired.

That's what I was getting at, obviously.

[Rubrum Natio]

Yes they do but it's called public intoxication. For the less irritating thing, that depends on the person. I know people who get high a lot and I hate their guts. They are loud about it, they act like everything they do is funny like when they hit people or make them mad. I just want slap those guys across the face. But then I remember, it's not their fault...

Might also want to keep in mind that smacking people around just because they're annoying will land you in jail.

Figure of speech, friend. I don't believe in violence.

You wander in, spend three minutes staring at the menu board with your mouth open and your eyes red, and they struggle to contain themselves.

Before you eventually decide yes you will have the doner kebab and chips with garlic sauce, hand over three pounds too many and then stagger back to your hovel :3

Frankly, I'm disgusted by both cannabis and cigarettes, but I realise that weed is significantly less dangerous than the later are, even though it could cause schizophrenia, loss of intelligence and many things that we don't know about yet.

Anyway, I think we'd see a healthier world if smoking tobacco was banned in favour of cannabis legalisation. What do you guys think?

Much healthier seeing that cannabis is actually used as MEDICINE and PAINKILLERS and IT DOESN'T KILL YOUR BRAIN CELLS.

You may be mixing up alcohol with tobacco. I do. Ultimately tobacco does kill brain cells by reducing oxygen supply, but alcohol goes right at them. Alcohol kills off all sorts of cells, but the body as whole can handle that in moderation because most cells die and are replaced anyway. Neurons don't, so alcohol consumption reduces brain mass.

You can still stay quite smart, if you use what remains, but if you want to stay smart and get smarter in the future then drinking alcohol is a bad idea. Any amount.

Personally, "being smart" isn't the prime directive of my life. So I drink alcohol because it is fun and legal, and rather cheap. I'm a far-gone addict of nicotine, non-tobacco-smoker, and that is neither fun nor cheap and some day I may sue those dealers for what their bitter-tasting lollies have done to my teeth.

I'm not joking. This is straight from the poop deck.

I want better drugs. I try to stay within the law, I try to stay healthy, but dammit I'm going to have fun whether it's legal, whether it's cheap, or whatever it does to my health.

I could (and have done in the past) submit myself to doctors to prescribe for me. The prescribed drugs were sometimes fun but really I shouldn't have to fake symptoms and I shouldn't have to pick doctors (corrupting their profession in the process) to get the good stuff. Pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing fun stuff, while evading legal responsibility and charging extortionate prices by selling it as "medicine".

Fuck that shit. Free the drugs. Legalize it all, perhaps by stages, but legalize it all and globally. The worst drugs, the ones most debilitating to health or spirit, will simply fall out of use when better alternatives are available. Try to keep me down, I'm a fucking witch.

[Renegade Island]

It is a lot nicer. Blunts are nice as a treat every now and again though.



People walk around drunk all the time. People who are high are a lot less irritating, less loud and not aggressive.

Yes they do but it's called public intoxication. For the less irritating thing, that depends on the person. I know people who get high a lot and I hate their guts. They are loud about it, they act like everything they do is funny like when they hit people or make them mad. I just want slap those guys across the face.

Having to put up with irritating people that aren't actually causing you any physical harm or putting you in any danger is one of the inconveniences you would have to put up with in a free society. Sounds horrifying.

Wasn't my main idea. Just I was putting it out there. Try reading my other reasons. I don't really care about myself having to deal with irritating people. It's life. Telling me that's how it is because I'm in a free society is unnecessary. I've lived in the United States long enough to understand that. My point is the influence of bad acts against children. Possibly poor decision in the workplace or other important topics.

Sorry used the wrong word.

Which is why your brain never grows beyond the size it is when you're born, right?

[Halloween Karaoke]

Oh please, people do that anyway.
It's actually really funny to see people wandering around high. Every takeaway staff member I've been to while high with mates has had a little giggle at our state.

The fact that people already do just make it all the more shameful. Why escalate something instead of prevent it? It's funny yes I agree
I mean, if it's going to be legal at all it should stay out of the workplace for sure along with politics.

Keep politics out of the workplace?

Maybe at this time of year politics in the workplace is annoying you, but really ... no.

The personal is the political. Talk to your shop steward ... what, you don't have one? Career opportunity there!

Aww. Someone needs to learn to relax, or stop hanging around with people who irritate you.

We had a conversation with the staff in Papa John's before. It was quite intresting, I think we got some extra food.

Supermarkets are the worse though. Theres too much wandering around a store filled with nice food.

Politics out of the workplace? Is that what I said? I don't think... but if it was, I apologize. It was an error. Ignore that.

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

No. I want both to be legal.

I've not been round a supermarket baked, but some of my friends have, they say it's hilarious

Pfft. Just because some people irritate me doesn't mean they aren't good people. I am relaxed normally when I don't work. Again, I DON'T care about MYSELF being irritated. That was not my reasoning behind it.

[Wattoburger]

Sure. I'd legalize marijuana. Making tobacco an illegal substance would be a problem though. I would have them both regulated for the protection of citizens but outlawing tobacco would cause more problems than it would solve. Just look at the prohibition of alcohol and the cartels that created and the current "War On Drugs" and the Mexican cartels that's created. People should be properly educated on the dangers of taking specific substances but they should be free to do what they want with their own bodies. I would also put a lot of funding into the research of the effects of drugs.

W00t! My first reply!

You may have a point. Obviously the brain does grow for a while, or else there would need to be something else in there to take up the space as a baby's skull gets bigger into a child's skull and then a little bigger into an adult's skull.

It's just something I read somewhere, some time. Neurons aren't as good at regenerating as other cells are ... maybe I exaggerated.

Or maybe MRI scans are the work of the devil, and we all have tiny little brains but lots of space inside our skulls for the soul. You can't prove I'm wrong.

The cartels existed long before the war on drugs was really considered a 'war' on drugs.
They just got more violent in response.

It is pretty much the stupidest drug I know. It does something, but you can't really tell what until you're addicted to it.

Or to be more precise, addicted to the nicotine in it.

[Vecherd]

No, I would legalize Cannabis. Something doesn't need to be banned for something to be legalized, this isn't accounting.

[Samozaryadnyastan]

Brain cells, yes.
It does kill neurons, was what he was saying.

Have you ever tried to pay your ID card? I make that mistake all the time. And all this kebab talk is making me seriously hungry
