As I already demonstrated, smoked, marijuana is as carcinogenous or more so than tobacco.

It is equally dangerous to drive or operate machinery on a marijuana high as being drunk

https://www.cdc.gov/cannabis/health-effects/driving.html#:~:text=Cannabis affects areas of the brain that control,to make decisions, impairing coordination, and distorting perception.


The biggest problem with it is that the psychoactive ingredient, THC stays in your system up to 30 days. The problem with that is that if you use and then get into some sort of accident, or incident where insurance, lawsuits, etc., are involved, the presence of THC in your system becomes nothing but evidence of impairment.

Imagine an airline pilot who uses marijuana on Friday evening and then flies on Monday. The plane crashes. You can bet your ass that when they find THC in his system, he and the airline are going to be 100% libel for that crash. Truck driver, no difference. You work in a factory around machinery and get seriously injured. THC in your system is going to let the employer completely off the hook short of some obvious and major violation of safety regulations with the equipment.

What benefits from marijuana there may be are grossly and overwhelmingly over weighed by the health and safety issues that use causes. There's no upside to legalization other than users don't end up becoming criminals.

Wow! All that from YOUR experience?

C'mon, TA.

I don't think this subverts the 1st amendment. Claiming something is anti-semitic does not make it illegal speech. It is still protected free speech that cannot be punished.

That's true, unless local laws have hate crime laws on the books which include "anti-semitism" as a crime.

I believe many are. So criticism of Iran, Hamas, Netanyahu, etc. could also fall under this umbrella of poutrage. I wonder if they stopped to think of that before voting?

One does not have to be an MD to make observations about pot...and what it does for a user.

Not sure what you mean by "an unproven folk remedy", but...

...
  • Approximately half of Americans, some 78 million people, claimed to have used marijuana at some point in their lifetime.
  • The results of a Yahoo News/Marist national survey revealed that approximately 35 million Americans use marijuana on a monthly basis.
  • In addition, 55 million Americans in total had reported using marijuana within the past year.

C'mon, TA. Lots of people use it...and feel they get significant benefits from it.

Why would anyone want to outlaw it?

Weed greatly helped my daughter's vomiting and nausea during her battle with cancer. She was given a rainbow of anti-emetic/anti-nausea prescription meds, but the weed helped the most.

It is unconstitutional to make pure speech illegal unless anti-semitism was defined as including illegal conduct and it usually just includes beliefs. "Hate speech" is protected free speech. They can't make prejudice against others illegal.

So would this new bill be unconstitutional right out of the gate? Or is it their equivalent of saying if you criticize Israel, you're a big fat poopyhead?

I haven't studied it that much, but it doesn't actually make anti-semitic speech or views illegal. It is like civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination, especially in educational institutions. Some of the opposition involves free speech issues or religious teachings.

Pot helps lots and lots of people with cancer. It did me when I went through my battle back in the late 1990's. It helps people with MS.

I am happy it helped your daughter.

First of all...I am sorry for whatever happened to your brother.

But I have to ask: How do you know to attribute it to the use of Pot?
Click to expand...
The shrinks and whatnot couldn't figure out why he had it onset in his mid 40's. They said that doesn't happen normally. They then attributed it to regular marijuana use. Interestingly, since he stopped smoking pot and has been taking meds for it, he hasn't had a relapse. That's going on 20 years now.

The first time he was committed, when he got out he went back to smoking pot and within two years had a relapse and was committed again.

Your response is nothing but an appeal to popularity fallacy. You offered nothing showing it is scientifically proven to be a safe and useful drug with "significant benefits." Instead, most of what you read about marijuana in that vein is no different than this:

it's culturally proven to enhance appreciation and performance of art and creative/scientific endeavors of all kind.

you're just a square, dude.

the country would be way better if everyone switched from alcohol to weed.
