Why do we need government telling us what to do?


I could list 100 things that the govt is telling us to do and you would be ok with 95% of them.

Even if so, why should it be illegal?

The federal government should fund the military, secure the border, protect the constitution and bill of rights, maintain the interstate highway system and very little else. We need to return more power to the states.

Zapp's chips


Can Zapp’s chips cause you to be impaired while you are driving and kill a family of four? But it’s ok you just want to do drugs legally.

I’m against it. Would go into detail but realize a lot of people don’t care how bad it actually is.


Well thanks for your contribution to this thread then.

I have the secret to life but not going to go into detail on it.

I have seen several people become addicted to weed and it has completely ruined their lives.



And did that person live in a state where it was legal? If not, then you pretty much provide an argument as to why it should be legal. No matter what you think about it, it doesn't change the fact that people will still use it.

People ruin their lives by eating fast food, junk food, etc. They become obese and then they are not able to live normal lives, etc. So if marijuana is illegal, why not make fast food illegal?

Sure can. If my hand is digging down in the bag while I'm trying to drive and I lose control of the vehicle.

BAN ZAPPS!

Weed is so much safer than alcohol, it's a joke that it's illegal. The government did a fine job of brainwashing people and making it appear sinister. This comes from a non smoker by the way.


Safer how? Safe enough that you can drive while high? If you believe that, then you're wrong. So tell us how it's safer.

add to that list: shopping, sex, money, and everything else that people get addicted to.
only closed-minded idiots think this way.

doctors prescribe oxy to patients and THAT shite IS ACTUALLY ADDICTIVE.

I think that a married gay couple should be able to defend their marijuana crop with an AR15. Otherwise I don't have a strong opinion on the subject

Read this story. A Georgia couple was arrested, a few months ago, and had their child taken away from them, because their child had a lot of seizures and after trying a lot of other meds, marijuana was the only thing that helped.


I think the problem with this is these parents have literally no idea what they're doing when it comes to how much marijuana they're giving their son.

If you watch the video I'm willing to bet these people are just giving him whatever they can find without any regard to the level of ingredients in the marijuana.

As far as I've read marijuana can be harmful for the developing brain, most especially with regular users of marijuana.


That's like telling someone to just guess how much penicillin you need to cure a bacterial infection. Its stupid and you could cause just as much harm as good.

Louisiana already has the worst workforce in America.

Unless Izzos is going to be the economic centerpiece of our economy, encouraging people to do something that makes them unemployable seems like a bad move

As people out West are finding out, just because the state legalized weed doesn't mean that insurance companies will write insurances for businesses who hire people who can't pass a piss test.

Alcohol should be sold at specific places and there should be tight laws about where those places are. If we have to make it illegal I wouldn’t be that opposed.

Drug addicts will say anything to rationalize or convince themselves that their drug addiction is ok. This is called denial and almost every drug addict has this until they seek help.

Smoking is legal, I'm not encouraged to do it.

Or...

I'm a business owner who enjoys marijuana now and then. Oh darn I can't partake legally though, our big brother government decided that it was best to make it illegal so some people won't get fired from their workplace.

Do people not realize how ridiculous they sound?
