Really? Me and two of my friends got caught with the same amount, and the cop told us to throw it on the ground and step on it. This was in conservative Katy (Cinco Ranch), by the way. I think more cops are becoming like that.
I don't get that argument either. I also don't get the argument saying that people are gonna do it anyway, so we might as well tax it. By that logic you could tax murder because people are gonna murder anyway. I really don't have much of an opinion on the issue, as far as I'm concerned there are more important things to worry about that whether or not you can waste your time smoking weed.
Like the Chris Rock argument. Bullets cost $5000 each! You would REALLY wanna kill somebody to spend at least $5000 to shoot them ONCE.
Owning creatures and owning plants are two completely different things. Better your argument then I will consider it.
<br> Weed is not supposed to be some psychedelic trip, so I fail to see the boredom thing. Do things you normally do while high. Also, I don't get what you mean by women are boring when they are high...Expand on that if you don't mind Btw, I am soo writing a research paper on this right now. These threads are so convenient...
17 Years ago I might have skirted around a topic like this and tried to bury my face in a dirty patch of soiled denial. But alas, I crave a newfound suckling pig for my starch has been satiated with some of the most intense California Sticky that Jesus Christ himself has ever smoked! As a noble philosopher Brian Griffin remarked... "The 60s live on, we lost the values but we kept the weed."
Of course the difference that makes your analogy like comparing apples and submarines is the fact that murder involves one person hurting another where with pot (and other illegal drugs), the "crimes" of manufacture, distributing, and possessing hurt nobody except the person ingesting. In that case, the argument I use goes back to strong conservative principles: personal responsibility. Yes, there are more important things to worry about, for example, more than three quarters of a million people are arrested for mar1juana every year. Do you think this is a good use of limited police resources, jail space, and space on court dockets?
