BC,
You asked for a logical explanation for keeping
pot illegal?
That's easy.
Oh, I'm gonna love this.
Look, I personally don't care if some idiot
wants to stay high all day.
I don't give a crap if someone wants to shoot
heroin, for that matter.
If someone is that stupid, fine.
Maybe he'll overdose and take himself out
of the gene pool.
Holy Koresh, why do you want them dead?
Why is it necessary to hate pot smokers?
Do you hate tequila drinkers?
Do you hate people who drink Budweiser and watch a football game?
I'd say you've put yourself in a place where your logic can be clouded.
You see pot smokers as devils.
Marijuana should remain illegal for the exact
same reason cigarettes, by all logic, should be illegal.
Your rights end where mine begin, and I have
the right to breathe clean air.
A person shouldn't even be allowed to smoke
either pot or cigarettes even in their own house,
because if they have kids or a spouse the
smoke is dangerous to their health.
What if a couple has no kids and enjoy God's flowers?
That's a pin prick on you last paragraph's balloon.
The problem isn't the individual weed smoker's
health. Screw them.
The problem is the harm they are causing innocent
people who have to breathe.
I happen to value my health. I don't want
to face lung disease or heart disease in the future
because some asshole wants to commit slow
suicide by sticking a weed in their mouth and lighting it.
Earth to Steve - pot smokers are NOT your enemy.
Good God you've got a bad attitude towards people you've never met.
I believe Webster's defines that as "prejudiced" or "bigoted."
I mean, did you lose a girlfriend to a pot smoker in college or something?
I seriously doubt any of your reasons for legalizing pot can adequately address this issue.
What issue?
Have you heard of some study where second-hand pot smoke has caused
damage to someone?
I've never heard of such a study, and we won't be hearing of any study
like that because
the government considers marihuana so dangerous, it won't allow
any tests to be run.
It's classified with LSD and heroin - why? It makes no sense.
If you're going to proclaim your pronouncements as "untouchable," it'd
help to know what they were.
"No smoking" sections in public places are
a joke, and you know it.
Walking down a city sidewalk becomes dangerous
in many areas where
a bunch of stupid rednecks want to suck on
a death stick.
I agree with that - I hate to exit a public building and walk thru a
cancer cloud, but remember that
cigarettes are dangerous because of the formaldahyde and ammonium
BIG CANCER adds to the
tobacco to hook you faster and harder. Pot has none of that stuff.
If you can come up with a reasonable, logical
way to legalize the stuff while keeping the second-hand
smoke far away from innocent people so it
only harms the user, fine. I have yet to hear of one.

How about I don't let you come over when I'm smoking it?
Problem solved.
Dude, of all the people I've met in 2002, you seem like you could use
a joint the most.
Maybe you're a bad first-impression guy, but you give off this vibe
that you'd rather climb a tree
and hate a pot smoker than stand on the ground and enjoy the benefits
of a less-intrusive government.
...if you have a rebuttal, I'll give you space.
