Fortunately, I've been smashing coke all night so I'm alert enough for all of us
-
Hahahah! This tread is killing me today! Listening to the Dazed and Confused album maximum volume on shitty speakers for "authenticity!"

Yeah, they were doing Coke behind the old office last night….I got the police involved......hashtag partypooper
Who are the mysterious "they"? And coke, outdoors? The junkies around here prefer heroin for cheapness, and ease of use al fresco.

Human beings are genetically coded to have cannabinoid receptors in the brain and other parts of the body. CB receptors are one of the most abundant receptors, you are designed to receive THC and other chemicals to act on those receptors. Whatever your political or religious standpoint, the science is not up for debate. To make marijuana or hemp plants illegal is completely ridiculous when cigarettes and alcohol are legal non-prescription substances that arguably produce more damage when ingested.
The illegality has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with money and who is making it.
Live your life the way you want if you aren't harming others and be prepared to represent your choices, nothing to be ashamed of either way.

Not to be agumentative but Could not a heroin junkie make the same argument about the opiate receptors in the brain…
That said I am a believer in what are termed natural rights... These rights are endowed to us because either we believe we are the owners of our own bodies or we have been created in the image of a god and in his likeness we are furnished perfect freedom.among these liberties are freedom of thought, speech, privacy, sleep, etc. unfortunately, governments feel that we can not be allowed to be responsible for ourselves; therefore, they must, in turn, set boundaries for our behaviors... Because clearly the government (at least in the United States) has everything completely under control and is a glimmering example of how to be responsible for ones actions... Haha jk on that last statement

Absolutely you could. I have no objection to people using those drugs provided they A) don't hurt others
don't cry when they're aware of the danger of the use of them. To compare the two substances and their effects is not fair as they are very, very different. Everyone must be able to make their own choices in this life and bear the consequences good and bad.That said I am a believer in what are termed natural rights… These rights are endowed to us because either we believe we are the owners of our own bodies or we have been created in the image of a god and in his likeness we are furnished perfect freedom.among these liberties are freedom of thought, speech, privacy, sleep, etc. unfortunately, governments feel that we can not be allowed to be responsible for ourselves; therefore, they must, in turn, set boundaries for our behaviors...

I totally agree. People cannot be legislated into safety, nor should they be.

Junkies don't realize they are harming themselves and once they do, can't do anything to help themselves at that point. If we as a society can prevent it from getting that far, why not try?
I have had several brilliant friends become addicted to drugs and have contributed nothing to society while still possessing college degrees. Society is much better off when people of this caliber can contribute to society, not struggle to get up in the morning without a fix

they can be, to a degree, and should be. I mean we have lines that divide the highways, traffic laws, building codes, helmet and seatbelt laws, laws regarding drugs and alcohol, guns, etc etc. Some are perhaps too restrictive and infringe on personal liberties. But they're not all bad right? And overall they're better than the alternative of absolutely nothing, right? Some kids are saved by child seat laws right?
I could care less about marijuana, I'd actually prefer it to be legalized and taxed. But I'm sure glad meth and heroin and cocaine are illegal, because those are generally drugs of debilitating addiction and crime, and particularly with meth, it is a drug of violence. People using those drugs have potential to affect me and my family.
here´s another good MJ version!
