Question

If there are so many liberals out there then why isn't pot legal? I think it's because the number of liberals is greatly exaggerated. That means that Global Warming is a crock of siht, as well.

Answer 1

is that really your photo?

Answer 2

Pot not legal because you would have to fire 1/5 the police force if it was. The paper lobby in Alabama would complain that hemp is taken place or paper materails, and the pharma companies would lose out on drug sales for anti-depressent medications. Pot should be legal because of the fact its no worse the Alcohol. Legalization of pot im for because I known people smoked weed that are 50 years old, and been smokin for 30 plus years, and work a job, pay taxes, go on vacations. Goverment drug war is bullshit for the most part, and the legalization of pot, would make it easier to use resources to tame meth use which bad for society and the eviroment. Alcohol leads to snorting from what seen more than pot.

The Associated Press
New landmark research concludes that alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than some illegal drugs like marijuana or ecstasy and should be classified as such in legal systems, according to a new British study.

In research published Friday in The Lancet, Professor David Nutt of Britain's Bristol University and colleagues proposed a new framework for the classification of harmful substances, based on the actual risks posed to society. Their ranking listed alcohol and tobacco among the top 10 most dangerous substances.

The researchers asked two groups of experts — psychiatrists specializing in addiction and legal or police officials with scientific or medical expertise — to assign scores to 20 different drugs, including heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, amphetamines, and LSD.

Nutt and his colleagues then calculated the drugs' overall rankings. In the end, the experts agreed with each other, but not with the existing British classification of dangerous substances.

Heroin and cocaine were ranked most dangerous, followed by barbiturates and street methadone. Alcohol was the fifth-most harmful drug and tobacco the ninth most harmful. Cannabis came in 11th, and near the bottom of the list was ecstasy.

I always thought alcohol was more dangerous to begin with.

Answer 3

Could it be because we don't need anymore impaired drivers? Maybe it is because it is more carcinogenic then cigarettes. It might be that it slowly takes a slice of your soul when you use it. Wait! Mabe it is because studies have shown a relationship between psychosis and marijuana use. By the way, Global Warming is a crock of siht, as well

Answer 4

I would support making EVERYTHING legal. If I want drugs (I don't) I'll use them. No law is going to tell me otherwise, and evidently, I'm not the only person who feels this way. Since people are going to WILLINGLY abuse their bodies with chemicals, why not put that money in to our economy, instead of putting in to drug lords' hands? It would not only stop border violence, but local violence as well. Sorry, I don't agree with your argument on "medical benefits," Oh, and booze was illegal in the roaring 20's. When Prohibition ended, we went into the Depression. Not saying that's what caused the Depression...

Answer 5

i like your logic! how about this ....isn't obvious to you that the sun goes around the earth ?or that the trees blow the wind around? lets not stop with the little things ...we all know that pot has stuff in it to make the user believe anything Al Gore says,and beer makes you smarter! i hope an F-5 tornado sucks you off the face of the earth!

Answer 6

What does pot have to do with global warming? Your logic amazes me.

Answer 7

As for Global Warming, yes, that's precisely what it is.

Pot will never be legal, and that's exactly how it should be. Seeing as how few law-abiding citizens there still are in this country though, that law won't stop people from having it constantly.

Answer 8

Because it has been all about business among them, everytime you get pot, or buy it, you get just the discarding parts, SO WHO YOU THINK IS GETTING THE BEST GANJA///////// them.

Answer 9

Pot is legal! I can get it antwhere, I can carry it on me as long as I don't carry a car load! I can smoke it driving down the street! I see and smell it everyday! And nobody does crap about it!

Answer 10

Because it alters one's state of mind to severley and cannot be monitored or calculated such as alchohal.

Only some liberals want to make it legal and because the media likes to focus on "what will gain ratings" we hear about it.

Answer 11

AMEN!!

Global warming may be real
but is most certainly not man made!
