Politics Biden says he won't legalize marijuana because it may be a 'gateway drug'

Now that weed is legal, coke and heroin are what all the cool kids do now.

 

So this can make all of you mad at me that’ll be a fun way to end the weekend. I went to hempfest once and had a couple brownies and thats my entire experience of actually putting marijuana inside of me.

For the most part Im not really against people who want to use it, like we have so much other stuff thats legal and much worse for you, at least as far as we know right now. Tobacco, Alcohol, amongst other things... However Ive always felt like there is something totally off about my friends who use it a lot, now maybe its just in my head and some cognitive bias or something going on, Im not sure, but their life decision making processes have proven to not be very successful and it makes me eerie about its consumption, at least to the extent they take it. Its completely anecdotal and who knows maybe they’re just idiots that Ive chosen to love anyways.

I wish they would do much more studies on it, continue to do medical research on it, lose some of the stigma’s around it, Its probably not for me, I know that it does help some people.

 

Probably.

 

I guess, I just feel like in general my stance on most things is go learn more about it. Marijuana needs more studies not by groups with an agenda to “shut it down” or “make it legal”. Unfortunately too many studies are funded by interest groups... Like I said, Im not really against it, I think Alcohol is way, way, way worse and its legal.

 

I basically dont do any of it so they could tax it all 1000% percent if they wanted and it wouldnt effect me at all, except maybe safer roads from all these idiots driving while impaired.

I do have a glass of wine here or there.

 

I think most people, even those who are totally in support of federal legalization, completely understand that smoking weed too much is bad for you. Of course there's some dummies who deny deny deny, but they're definitely on the minority. Saying it should be legal doesn't imply that it's healthy or completely safe or anything like that.

But I am also for decriminalization/legalization of all drugs.

 

Biden is a dumbass stooge though

 

I smoked weed once, and now I live day to day in Florida making and injecting my own Krokodyl.

 

I got in an argument once with a friend who was telling me there are zero negative effects to weed. I told him I thought he was full of crap. You can tell me you think it should be legal because of a lot of reasons that I would buy, but I wasnt being buying that one lol.

Im not really for the legalization of all drugs. Alcohol is like the 3rd (or 4th), leading cause of premature death in the country because its been made so easy to get. When I grew up in a pretty ghetto area in St. Johns and drugs were common place (like way harder stuff then weed), a lot of that stuff makes people a huge danger to themselves and others. Making Meth legal to get, is just gonna make more 21 year olds who right now would have no idea how to get it, have easier access to it. Have you ever been around people on a regular basis who are shootin up?

Also how does this all effect where you come down on guns? Or other things that are directly linked to harming others? Its one thing to harm yourself, its another when you start making the government the leading peddlers of substances that turn people into maniacs.

 

wait until he takes out his dentures!

 

Addiction to drugs is a health and societal problem, not a criminal one. I should have specified that I think the use of drugs should be legal, not necessarily the sale of them. I don't want meth sold at convenience stores or anything like that.

 

I'm not mad at you it's your experience.
I however could say the exact same things about alcohol that you brought up about your friends who do weed.
The only difference is as a society we consider potheads more of a problem than alcoholics.

Personally the issue I have is that weed is still federally labelled as a class 1 drug.
Which is complete bullshit.

 

50 years on this issue, and a quarter of all American men holding drug arrest records, is not enough learning. We need to get 100% of Americans into prison. We will learn more if we're all in prison.

 

Well, there goes Millions of votes down the drain.
