Good Evening.
Marijuana is illegal. Someone who smokes marijuana is breaking the law. A person with no regard for smaller laws like marijuana prohibition clearly has no respect for the institution of government and as such there is nothing stopping this person from committing greater crimes such as theft, battery, and murder. Moreover, marijuana degenerates this person's mind to the point where they are unaware of their actions, thereby rendering them even more susceptible to carrying out these greater crimes. It's best to eliminate these threats before they arise and keep marijuana illegal.
I don't want this post to turn into a debate between sober responsible adults and embittered drug addicted degenerates seeking to justify their horrible life decisions. If you are commenting for the latter reason I recommend taking your frustrations out on an adult coloring book or a hacky sack while the rest of us continue to maintain that the best thing for society as a whole is to keep you off the streets and away from view.
Thank you, and let's keep marijuana illegal.
Edit: I realize based on your previous posts that this was a joke, but some people truly do think this way and these unscientific myths need to be debunked.
Ignorance all around in this post.
1. Yes, you are right. I have no respect for the institution of government. I think that unconstitutional laws are being passed every day. I think our freedoms are constantly tested and stepped on. I think that leftists are destroying this country. Honestly, I think Texas would be better off seceding.
The US government is supposed to be by the people and for the people. And right now, it is not.
Laws are not what is stopping me from murdering, theft, battery, and rape. Morals and Values are what stop me from doing those things.
2. After the high of cannabis wears off, no permanent impairment or brain damage is left behind, as it is with Alcohol. You will also not get liver damage or addiction. If you want to ban impairment altogether, I'd start with alcohol. Drunk people start fights in bars and make a fool of themselves all the time. People who are high fall asleep on the couch eating a burger they ordered on GrubHub.
3. Your second paragraph shows your ignorance of the number and quality of people who use cannabis. The college kids that go to your church, the kids volunteering at food shelters, the engineers who are super focused on school, all use cannabis. I am a junior engineer with an extremely high GPA making 40 dollars an hour in my internships. I'm doing alright. I don't think I'll end up on the streets.
I beg you, people, to research prohibition. You will find that the environment of Alcohol in the 20s is identical to that of cannabis today, and that is not a good thing.
Regardless, your ignorance and the government's tyranny won't stop me.
I will mind my own business, say hi to you at church on Sunday, and graduate with distinction from the best school in the world in my field.
