For every study you find that says it's not a gateway drug, you'll find one that says it is. It's the same thing with every other argument on the face of the earth. Every Dr will tell you that teething doesn't cause fevers, every mother will tell you differently. Playing video games screws w/your memory and kids' levels at school...except when it doesn't and it increases brainwaves and improves eye/hand coordination. Alcohol is bad except when it's good in specific exacting amounts. EGGS! Don't eat EGGS! But yes now you ca----oohhhh shit nope, sorry, this weeks study says no.
Everyone wants to be in control of their lives, nobody wants to be told what to do...except when they mess it all up and then they want it taken care of post haste b/c HEY! People make mistakes and HEY! I can't be held responsible for every(any)thing cripes, what am I a fecking adult?
So we've got MADD, and SADD..we may as well add um..MAPS? Mother's against pot smokers? Or..MAHD ooh that's better b/c it's kinda like MADD-Mother's against High Drivers, boom.
Just b/c something is here on this planet does not mean it's free game. I've heard the "God put it here for a reason" and "It's natural and part of the earth/environment" argument so many times it makes me want to puke.
I've smoked pot many times, when I was a teenager. When stupid kids do stupid things. I don't like to not be in control.
And it's a complete and utter joke of asinine proportions to talk of the govt running it/controlling it. Like they don't already have their dirty greedy mitts in it? And since when is it a *good* thing when the govt touches anything? But wait, the govt is really good about NOT finding random places to divert extra funds to, right? I mean, the money will stay in the states right? It won't go towards ohhh I dunno, a $47,000 flat head screwdriver or worthless studies on the plight of the mud wasp, or raises for govt officials or anything, I'm sure..I shouldn't be so cynical. Of COURSE the money will go towards the homeless and better education for our kids so we can get ahead of the game there,...we'll be keeping our infrastructure in tip top shape as well I'm sure. Of course it won't go towards funding all kinds of rehab/treatment facilities for the new batches of addicts that crop up, b/c people will always use responsibly, of course.
People are people. Legalize pot. Do it. And then it will lose its cool factor or whatever some people are drawn to. Then maaaaybe meth will be the shizz. Or coke. Then since more people will be into those illegal drugs, we'll need to work on legalizing them...cuz you know it will make all kinds of money for the states, of course, and that will make up for the loss of revenue from the people that have gravitated away from pot b/c it's not enough for them anymore.
As far as I'm concerned, we are a nation of "gimme gimme gimme I want I want don't tell me what to do you're not the boss of me" pouty faced brats.
I wonder what JD and all the other cops in the US will do once pot is legal and all the crimes are gone. Give an occasional speeding ticket I guess.
