Hellblazer why don't you explain to us how prohibition was ever a good thing. Pot is just prohibition 2.0.
hellblazer said:Your argument is somewhat akin to saying.. that because the enforcement of drug laws has been executed so poorly, they shouldn't enforce them any more
Why does something that produces no victim be banned?
hellblazer said:obviously ingesting drugs is going to affect the genetics of your future children
Assuming you're able to substantiate your claim, that marijuana negatively impacts the genetics of your future children, then by that logic, shouldn't we make illegal caffeine? or how about having children at old age, as studies show sperm quality, volume, motility all decrease with age? or how about making illegal hot baths as sperm are heat-sensitive? or using laptop computers over the groin area? Should we throw all these people in jail, or give them fines?
Maybe we should, instead of attempting to improve the application of force to solve problems as you suggest we do.. We improve the means in which we attempt to solve these problems voluntarily? We've tried the whole brute force thing, time and time again, and look at where we are. Besides, evidence shows decriminalization of drug abuse correlates to less drug abuse.
You're nothing but a little brainwashed bitch

What was the concentration of THC then compared to today, Blok?
Do you smoke weed?
BTW, I would like all objective observers to note the near fanatic reaction from the drug-crowd. Confronted with evidence that weed use has led to psychosis and schizophrenia, their best response is frantic slurs, out-of-context quotes, and one drughead after another furiously liking each others posts to create and fuel the impression of consensus.
Edit: Ran away? Lol.. I'd like to note the reluctance of Hellblazer to respond to the points I made above.

There was no evidence that there has been an increase in the incidence of psychosis over the past thirty years of the magnitude predicted by the hypothesis. This suggests that cannabis use does not cause cases of psychosis that would not otherwise have occurred.
In terms of the model set out in the Introduction, the
expected rise in diagnoses of schizophrenia and psychoses did
not occur over a 10 year period. This study does not therefore
support the specific causal link between cannabis use and the
incidence of psychotic disorders based on the 3 assumptions
described in the Introduction. This concurs with other reports
indicating that increases in population cannabis use have not
been followed by increases in psychotic incidence

What give you the right to tell me what I can put into my own body?
Um, you mean besides the kid that has schizophrenia? LOL.
Are you stating that imbibing cannabis has zero effect on any future offspring?
What right does anyone have to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body?
Your future children reside in your body, Einstein. That's why you're afraid to answer the question.
Are you stating that imbibing cannabis has zero effect on your future children?
You're afraid to answer the question, because if you say yes, you look foolish.
If you say no, you admit to the world that it is not merely "your body" you are affecting.
In the same way that a nation must protect its citizens from murderers and violent offenders, they must protect its future citizens from potential birth defects and genetic malformities caused by your irresponsible actions.

About the future children thing, the burden of proof is on you...
