 I look at this conversation more about "freedom" and "liberty", and it's a good talking point- I could care less about dope. But, I'm all for the people having the freedom and liberty to do it, if that's what they want to do with themselves. Same way I feel about just about everything, as long as someone is not hurting someone else in the process.Sincerely, Clayton

At least this is baseball card and topic related. Proof that Topps has a sense of humor. Brandon Puffer and Jung Bong on the same rookie card

Not to mention there are plenty of parents who don't want their kids smoking marijuana but have no problem having them take prescribed amphetamines (adderall) and don't mind taking synthetic heroin (oxycontin) when their back is bothering them. But these things have been prescribed by a doctor!

Legalizing marijuana is not likely to cause more people to smoke it, or for the people who do smoke it now to do so more frequently. It's currently available to anybody who wants to buy some. But it will take the criminal element out of owning a small amount of it. The prisons are filled with people who were caught with a small stash of pot. Making it legal has benefits and getting people out of prison is a humane act.
Anyone who doesn't smoke now won't start if it becomes legal. And it is not necessarily a gateway to harder drugs. There is a tremendous amount of misinformation out there and that is adding fuel to the controversy.

I would treat it exactly as alcohol -- legal, no sales to minors, illegal to drive under the influence, no TV ads. I am far more concerned about what I view as the extreme overprescription of certain medications.

Without it I'm forgetful and very cranky. Like find a T206 in the couch forgetful. Ok, maybe just a few modern inserts but you get the idea. And cranky like yelling at someone for a minor screwup or telling a grocery bagger that if the retarded guy does the job better than he does he should just hang it up because there won't be much he can do. (I was a bit more harsh than that) Yeah, if you need it you need it. I don't take anything medical lightly, hardly any painkillers at all, over the counter stuff included. Hey, that pain is telling me I've done something I shouldn't. If I mask it with tylenol I'll be likely to do some real damage to myself. Steve B

Alright, you guys dont get the law. Substance use/abuse is NOT a protected class like gender, race, religion and an employer can hire/fire you for anything NOT protected. We have 2 local employers that test for cigarettes and fire those that test positive. If I am the employer, dont I have the right to hire who I want? As longer as substance use is not protected, they can always test for pot. Most employers test for pot b/c theyre insurance company requires it. I am not condoning this, but check the stats on people that use antidepressants versus those that dont in regards to overall insurance costs, days missed and other employer compensation. I could see a money counter excluding these "users" someday...legally they have the right. This class needs protection.
Second, there is a ton of revenue generated. Licensing fees to users and growers, fees for dispenceries and if it were fully legal there would be a helluva tax. Third, the same choice thats given for alcohol and cigarettes should be allowed for pot. Alcohol affects several systems in your body, damage tends to be more permanent and we know about cigarettes. POT DOES NOT NEED TO BE SMOKED TO USED! The medical movement usually ingest orally and there are vaporizers that remove a large percentage of the junk. Pot lowers your WBC count...BFD for most people. Last, whether I have or have not ever used is no ones business...just like my choice to do what I want as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. I could care less why someone may think its bad, immoral or should be illegal for religous or any other reason for the purpose of telling me how to lead my life. WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I OR ANYONE ELSE DOES? I dont get it...homosexuality, pot, why would anyone care? Last edited by rainier2004; 11-15-2012 at 05:48 PM.
