<p>OP, i believe you forgot to put “Kentucky” behind the word high school in your title…</p>
<p>Alcohol could be lowered (look at other countries) but I think here in America people would start drinking even younger if their older sister or brother still in high school is doing it. Maybe not to 18, it would mess up senior year and college freshman.</p>
<p>As for weed, It shouldn’t be legalized. The smell is strong like a colonge and the people that does it are (I don’t mean to jugde but) stupid. They could at least settles for a cigarettes especially if you know that weed is not even close to legal.</p>
<p>(Kentuckian) Yes Kentucky produces a lot of marijuana, but what exactly are you saying?</p>
<p>And honestly, if you’re going to phase out cigarettes (as we are doing in our society), then we shouldn’t legalize weed. That’s one
step forward, two steps back.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t see what the big deal is. I asked one woman why she was against the legalization of marijuana and she looked at me appalled. “Would you want YOUR doctor to operate on you while high?”
Well, no, but alcohol is legal and I expect my doc to be sober…
It’s none of the government’s business what we choose to put in our bodies, and it will be much more effective to place a tax on it like we’ve done with other adult substances than to continue wasting funds to arrest people and hold them in jail for possession…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh god, if I were you I would’ve slapped that b#$@h right across her face for making such an idiotic statement.</p>
<p>You have no idea how close I was…however, I refrained because she was the mother of my friend…next time won’t be so pleasant :)</p>
<p>Drunk people are waayyyy more dangerous than high people.</p>
<p>Agreed!
10char</p>
<p>Drunk people crash cars and ruin families. High people eat McDonalds and giggle.</p>
<p>Drunk people run stop signs. High people wait for them to turn green.</p>
<p>^hahaha 10char</p>
<p>? Ok anything beside drunk driving?
high people get arrested for possesion
Drunk get arrested for DUI (with the exception of underage)</p>
<p>Except possession harms no one except for ruining the holder’s life and costing taxpayer money. The drunk driver puts everyone on the road at risk.</p>
<p>Yea, but high people are useless and the popularization of getting high just leads everyone to seek out an MTV lifestyle and halt our nation’s innovative progress.</p>
<p>Is weed legal in Singapore? In Korea? In Japan? In Hong Kong? Look at nations that are on the rise and show me what percentage of their population smokes weed frequently, if at all.</p>
<p>You know what else leads people to seek out an MTV lifestyle? MTV. Let us do whatever we want with our lives and you can do whatever you want. Those countries give their constituents less freedom, is that what you want?</p>
<p>Those countries will subsequently take control of the world market and dictate to YOU what “freedom” is. </p>
<p>But, hey man, it’s cool as long as we got da mush…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Drunk people are useless too, and much more dangerous than high people. Let’s make alcohol illegal again, I like that idea.</p>
<p>You are also making massive generalizations about those who smoke. Only few kids at my school who smoke seek out that “cool kid” lifestyle, the rest of them just smoke to relax and don’t obsess over it like a lifestyle. Also, show me the percentages of the populations of Singapore, Korea, Japan, and China that don’t smoke. You can’t? Ah, too bad.</p>
<p>“High people are useless.”</p>
<p>Very elitist, ignorant, unfounded, incredibly stupid statement right there, Wiscongene.</p>
<p>What about all the poets, artists, writers, etc who use or used marijuana?</p>
<p>Steve Jobs? Bill Gates? Bill Clinton? George Soros? They’re all useless? </p>
<p>Georgia O’Keefe? Jackson Pollock? Freud (albeit a weirdo)? They were useless? </p>
<p>NELSON MANDELA? GANDHI? They were useless??</p>
<p>I have a friend who is a total nerd (I love her, though) and what she does is smoke marijuana, and then just write. She just sits down and writes for hours, and the masterpieces she has created when she’s high are beyond belief. She even submitted one to a national short story competition, where it won first place, winning her a $10,000 scholarship for college. </p>
<p>You sound very judgmental, and I think that perhaps you should get to meet a variety of people before you immediately dismiss all marijuana users as “useless.” </p>
<p>Maybe one day you’ll be able to dismount from that high horse of yours and learn not to be so intolerant.</p>
