You obviously smoke pot every day or have moved to something even more damaging like glue. Proven science that it cures anything? If I wanted to compile a list of stupid comments based on drug induced hopes, this would be a fantastic place to start.

Look, I'm not saying @PlayAngry isn't making a fair argument but if anything history should have taught you this is only going to make things worse. Also, don't compare this to prohibition. That was taking away something that was legal. This will only cause problems, whatever tax revenue it creates will disappear in the vast government takeover and our children and lower classes will suffer. Nobody is going to become brilliant overnight and we aren't going to have an influx of artists, musicians, poets and potato chip makers. All we'll get is more social dependents. Some of you need to grow a backbone.

Marijuana used to not be illegal, Doc. Just saying.

You obviously haven't kept up with society. We learned with alcohol that prohibition doesn't work. Yet we have many children who don't have access to the medicine they need to keep them live, CBD oil. Yet almost everyone wants to impose their opinions/politics on others rather than look at the proven science that it cures epilepsy, glaucoma, cancerous cells, etc.

There are now several strains of marijuana that have been developed that are very high in CBD (the stuff that makes pot particular useful for medical purposes) but with nearly zero THC (the stuff that makes you "high").

Are you arguing that these special "medical" strains which don't have a negative effect on society should be legalized, while the "stoner" strains should remain illegal?

Dofo is a "stoner"; and now we know the rest of the story.

... we aren't going to have an influx of ... potato chip makers.

Hilarious!

Very strong arguments can be made that keeping the status quo on marijuana has the exact same effects you are predicting here.

This board is about 0 for the decade on doomsday predictions. Great at Final Fours :), but worse than Dave Kingman when it comes to the sky falling.

And it's not infrequently predicted in this sub-forum.

As long as you keep the government involved it will stay expensive, with availability and quality low.

There's a bi-partisan, win-win solution for you.

Idk, whether it is pot, other illegal drugs, alcohol, glue, paint or whatever your choice - what is your pain that is causing you to want to kill your brain cells? I don't get it. And like '72 only have seen it cause pain (mainly for other family members).

I still come back to SN, and I'm sure reading some of the things on here have killed brain-cells.

Graduate like I have to a big chief tablet and crayons. You're not expected to stay within the lines that way.

Im offended by that remark and demand this post be removed and @SHOXMVC: lose his status on Shockernet as punishment for his insensitivity.

I sincerely apologize for my participation in the death of your brain cells. Stay tuned, I have only just begun.

He'll, I offend me all the time. Damn it, you're right...this has to end. Punish me be damned. Me and KCSHOX will hang out together...smoke a little doobie and snack on some nacho cheese Doritos (hey, KC... pass the clip and stop smiling at me for no reason).
