Why should I not be able to get high in my own house as long as I never leave the house and endanger others? Yes, I know its illegal but I'm ignoring that. What harm am I doing anyone? Who am I endangering?

You are padding the pockets of the drug dealer who supplies you your drugs, allowing him to buy even more drugs such as cocaine, which he in return sells to some young kids, who in turn overdose and die. Therefore you are endangering the lives of many.

Haven't you seen the "...this is your brain on drugs" commercials?

OK. You will agree that teens consume alcohol, correct? Arent they getting it from the same store I buy my beer? My point is that whether its alcohol or drugs, if a teen wants them they will get them. Can we agree that accessibility of drugs for kids is no greater than it is for alcohol? If so, who am I really harming? Why can't I enjoy my weed, eat Doritos , and watch movies?

Yes. Doesn't matter. I've also know of the effects of alcohol. I still drink.

 

Why do you allow me to drink to excess but not get high?

I don't allow you to do anything.

 

Our government says you can drink alcohol, but can't smoke weed. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but every pothead I've known is nothing but a waste now. Most of them moved on to harder drugs.

Will you be wearing a headband while doing this?

As far as giving the dealer more money to buy more, WE as parents teach our kids to say NO right? I say have as MUCH fun as you want in YOUR house!

It's absolutely true. The chemicals in marijuana have been proven to cause permanent brain damage.

Don't many alcoholics start out with beer? I know many alcoholics who just like you describe the potheads.

 

Don't fall back on "its illegal." That would make for a short discussion. Why is it illegal? Are you OK with me drinking until I'm drunk as long as I don't harm anyone or get behind the wheel? I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to sleep it off on my couch.

Yet, at a less rapid rate than alcohol.

Its also absolutely true that the alcohol destroys my liver. So?

Most I know lead productive lives with zero problems. I do not smoke marijuana and have no interest in ever doing so. But I wouldn't be upset if it were legalized.

:thumb: The chemicals in paint can mess you up too. If we're going to legalize alcohol, what's the problem with allowing people to smoke marijuana in the privacy of their homes?

Pot is much worse. The effects are broader and much more severe.
