<p>Are you assuming that only dumb/lazy people smoke pot?</p>
<p>Mostly dumb/lazy people smoke pot and continue to smoke it on a continuous basis.</p>
<p>I don’t know many dumb/lazy people so I can’t say anything for that.</p>
<p>But smart people sure as hell get stoned too.</p>
<p>^^ I’m lazy. I don’t smoke. I did smoke when I was playing sports- ie, not lazy. Oh, and I’m also very intelligent. </p>
<p>My mum is neither dumb nor lazy and she smokes every day. </p>
<p>Dumb/lazy generalization.</p>
<p>Bill Gates smoked weed when he was a teenager.</p>
<p>it will be interesting to see how the legalization of drugs in mexico works out</p>
<p>Mexico is very different than the US. Very, VERY different drug hierarchy.</p>
<p>Legalizing Marijuana and taxing the hell out of it under regulation sounds like a great way for some extra income for our current financially inadequate government. Just keep advertisement regulated similar to the tobacco industry and slap an age limit onto it and it should be fine.</p>
<p>So because weed isn’t addicting, it can’t possibly cause harm? Cholesterol isn’t addicting but the whole of America seems to be hooked.</p>
<p>" Bill Gates smoked weed when he was a teenager. "</p>
<p>So did the bum at my corner. What does that tell you?</p>
<p>^ Cholesterol (fatty foods) are legal. </p>
<p>It tells me that a smart person is going to be smart, a bum is going to be a bum, with or without weed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I know, I’m just saying it will be interesting to see how it works for mexico</p>
<p>^ I know. I wasn’t arguing with you or anything, I was just pointing something out :).</p>
<p>Yea, but we were talking if weed was legal. If it was legal and wasn’t addicting, it doesn’t mean it can’t cause harm.</p>
<p>Absolutely,but it also tell us that becuase someone successful smoked weed doesn’t mean that it’s good.</p>
<p>Smoking weed is the same damned thing as smoking unfiltered cigarettes. The health risks aren’t exactly transparent (lung cancer, asthma, etc.)</p>
<p>Who cares if it’s bad for you? Alcohol kills your liver, fast food kills everything…</p>
<p>Weed doesn’t have tar, nicotine, rat poison, etc like cigarettes do. Weed is not that bad for you. The smoke is bad, the weed not so much. You don’t have to smoke weed. </p>
<p>Seriously people, don’t believe all the crap they tell you on TV. I don’t smoke, I don’t think people should in general (not into alterations of any kind), but it’s downright ignorant what some people are saying on here.</p>
<p>Pretty much.</p>
<p>But I figure some people are younger and still have time to experience things/change their minds?</p>
<p>^ You would think… but I’ve found that people get more ignorant and thick headed as they grow older. </p>
<p>The irony is, I can guarantee that if the anti-legalization people on here had parents in America in the 60s and 70s that they smoked weed or at least had a contact buzz.</p>
<p>My parents lived in the 70s. They didn’t smoke weed.</p>
<p>But they are from Alabama.</p>
<p>I predict that weed will be legalized within the next 1-3 years.</p>
<p>^ So they say. Parents lie.
Although Alabama wasn’t exactly a hot-bed lol.</p>
<p>1-3 years? No. Wrong political climate.
10-15? More likely on a national scale.</p>
