Exactly! Im glad your beginning to understand ;) . My entire point is your body is yours, do with it as you please, so long as it hurts no one else. Though there is a difference between cutting and weed, one induces a pleasant high. Maybe cutting yourself gets you off, if so then thats your own thing. But I wont touch it with a 10 foot pole :) . Its no different from cigerettes either. Certainly you believe those should be illegial? You ever read on some of the thats in them? I still beleive that you have every right to smoke them tho.
| quote: | | both are illegal activities and people can be sent to jail because of it. U can smoke weed and not physically hurt anyone. defrauding people does not phsyically hurt anyone either. |
Once again your missing the point like a blind person attepting archery. The huge, gaping, planet sized difference is that when you defraud someone, even though your not PHYSICALLY harming them, your still taking their money through slanderous means. You are benefiting from their loss. When you smoke weed responsibly, no one is affected but yourself. Theres no such thing as fraud without someone losing for the benefit of another.

I agree. Take them all, especially the people with serious problems like crystal meth. I'm tired of hearing on the news that our own government is giving clean needles to the scum of society. |
Maybe you should do some research on places like Amsterdam, where weed was decriminalized. Use of if is actually down. The same holds true for other areas that lax their posession laws. For one thing, many people do drugs only for the glamor of doing something illegial and rebellious. Take that away, and you take away a good percentiage of the drug using population. If we legalized every drug today, and then spent every dollar wasted in the "War on Drugs" for rehab clinics and public education of drugs, their effects, and potential side effects, then we would be much better off as a society. |

Correct! should be permitted and IS permitted. Yet weed is not. Thank you for pointing out an inconsistency in the US legal system.
| quote: | | The effects of weed should washout naturally over a few hours, although i do believe it can test positive in urine drug tests over a week after the action. The cuts come and go, unless u dig deep and make scars. Dangerous activity with respsonsibility is permitted, correct? |
Yes. Driving, Drinking, Smoking, Hardcore Sado-masochistic practices (involving cutting), gambling, guns.... all these things are ptentially much more harmful to the individual than weed, yet they are tolerated by the law. If a "practice" is illegal, the government cannot regulate it. If it is decriminalised it becomes far easier to ensure that it is done responsibly.
| quote: | | U can smoke weed and not physically hurt anyone. defrauding people does not phsyically hurt anyone either. Should they be taken out of prison because all they did was make a deal under the table, when the police should be looking for "murderers, rapists, con artists, and the rest". People should be able to break laws without punishment just because it's this lil tiny thing? what kind of message would that send to, hmmmm, i dunno, kids and the future generations? |
2 points here:
1) We're talking about decriminalisation here... that is: making marijuana use not a criminal act... so using it would not be "breaking the law"... C'mon did I really need to spell that out? the word "decriminalisation" is in the thread heading FFS.... Try to think before you post next time.
2)Why reframe the argument nrjizer was making by putting in the word "physically"? That's either a cheap argumentative trick, or a display of your stupidity... Which one was it in this case djslain? Realy I'm interested...

Surely you can't be this dumb. [sarcasm]Yeah not giving people clean needles is going to stop them using heroin.[/sarcasm]... all that'd do is increase the spread of AIDS in the US. Calling addicts "the scum of society", rather tahn seeing them as people with serious health issues demonstrates the crux of the problem with US drug policy.
As for comparing them to child molesters... Just think about it carefully I'm sure you can tell the difference b/w the two
Again in a while you'll probably say "I was just acting like a dumbasss cos its so damn fun.... but i'm still against decriminalisation of weed". That seems to me an excuse not to give your honest views, because you know that you're views are unsupportable with intelligent argumentation. Stop acting like a dumbass and give your own honest unexaggerated views... Of course I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. I mean surely no one can be this stupid |

| When i give a buck or two to people who have been given an oust, i would like to think they could use my money to get them a burger and water. I don't want them using all their (actually OUR) money on their fix. Beggers, people who put themselves in these positions, their fault for "experimenting" and "curiousity" which just happened to ruin their lives. These are not the scum of society? Sorry, but here in america, we earn a living and anyone who gets themselves into stupid situations like being kicked out, prisoned, homeless, deserves no pity. But out of the goodness of my heart, i just think positive and give them their bucks and change |

| You ever think they're homeless due to problems that are beyond their control? You sound very full of yourself calling other human beings, scum. |

I never thought id get bored with this thread..
djslain, ur just an troll (and u even admitted it), end of story. |

re-criminalized? i win. u lose. give me ur minds.
btw, i know what's its like to be homeless. My family was homeless for about 6 months back when i was about 5. We didn't stoop as low to beg for other people's sympathy. begging is for losers, literally. We EARNED our way back to the top after being at the bottom. Many people are homelesss because of the drugs, and STILL do them to "walk away" from their feeble lives. it's sad but it's true. We didn't spend our money on crack or anything to forget about our troubles. We faced them head on and ING WON. And if we can do it, so can all those out there. I'm not saying all of them are scum, because i know a good number of them have their priorities and responsiblities straight. The rest i just have sympathy for and hope they don't waste my dollar on some rock.
Go to Seattle Washington to see how Ontario is going to turn out. So many druggies that Seattle is spending millions of dollars trying to oust them because they are so detrimental to the eyes of tourists. no city wants to be known for its drug activities, wether it's ever going to be legal or not.

Yes true... the drug problem in the US is exacerbated by its primitive, impulsive policies. If it had implemented a harm minimisation approach drug use would be lower, and the "ugly" side of drugs would be severely lessened and restricted to specific areas. |
