Calling marijuana a gateway drug is like if I said that Ibuprofen is a gateway drug simply because I had used it before heroin. God-forbid that Pepto Bismol gets into the hands of our youth lol.
I love how the main argument against marijuana is that it leads to other drugs.. it's like saying drinking water leads to alcohol abuse. I can just see it.. "Studies show that 100% of individuals who developed alcoholism issues reported having previously consumed water on multiple occasions."
i feel that marijuana isnt dangerous but it is a gateway drug. Many of my pothead friends say that weed dosent make them high anymore so they move on to worse drugs.
@perillivolcomha thats a bunch of bullshit, i smoke everyday maybe about 2-3 times a day and I always get high. People who say they moved on to other stuff because they didn't feel the same effects of weed were always going to those regardless of what happens, they just need a backup excuse.
Everone says marijuana is the gateway drug, when in all reality its a plant grown from the ground. People take marijuana like its heroin or crack. Heroin and crack is what makes this country a peice of shit. People who do heroin or crack or other substances other than marijuana will die. Marijuana will not kill you, its almost impossible to overdose on it. You could smoke as much weed as you could and not die, it would make you fall asleep and hungry. Legalize marijuana!
no shit you go from marijuana to other things when you buy your marijuana off some faggot who also sells other things... if you bought your marijuana legally no where near the serious drugs, you most likely wouldn't do them... am i wrong? i mean i dont do drugs, but that's the way i see it.
If they made marijuana legal america would come out of debt. We would have more jobs and one less thing for our GOV to worry about and start fighting real crimes. Its not man made its EARTH made .
all drugs should be decriminalized im 15 and do multipal drugs and the goverment cant controll me or anyone there just wasting money they could be spending it on LSD, weed, MDMA and shrooms
@TheHerbCultavator420 thats why its illegal, because YOU'RE 15.. but minus that, i dont see how MJ differs from alcohole. Lets break it down... altering your mental state, weither it be recreational, or for other reasons, its the fact that there is still that original propoganda left in the mind of the past generations that is against legalization. If you're a legal adult, and the other legal adults voted to legalize, how can the government tell you otherwise? Do we not employ them?
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT! THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! THEY ARE NOT MY FUCKING BOSS! ESPECIALLY NOT THE ONES TELLING ME NOT TO DO DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, probably most hardcore addicts started with weed. But that doesn't mean that if you try weed, you will probably start doing hardcore drugs. People are so much more educated about the differences between weed and lab-made drugs. I have tried weed, and even before that, I never EVER considered doing actual drugs. And even after smoking, I wouldn't do it
@ballerness86 lol well im not smoking weed for a long time now, first time getting high, i smoked two packed bongs with a friend. got ripped as fuck, and out of paranoia put on way too much axe, and when i got home my parents pretty much knew right away lol. but they didnt confront me til later, so while i went to my room and had the best time of my fucking life until a couple hours later when they called me down and confronted me about it :p
one good thing about legalizing weed is that the more people smoke it the more jobs there will be...cuz they wont be working ...people who are passionate about smoking weed don't do much else.....so sad that we are so worried about such a non-issue...this country is going to hell but no one will know it cuz we will all be high....
@guitarrookiie74 dont care what you did for yours but gateway is total BS. Statistics shows that from the 102 weed smokers only 1 does heroin/cocaine. Thats less than 1%.
And the people you know are sad people, all the peeps I know smoking weed is working hard for their future. One is a social worker(helping other people), one is learning to become ass. doctor, one is busy with his own company in selling games. You should find new people to hang out with instead off those lazy asses.
@guitarrookiie74 You seriously need to find better weed smokers, not all of us who smoke pot do this whether passionate or the casual smoker. I know several people who are extremely passionate smokers and are going to college with me. Stereotyping is dangerous. I'm a witch, does that mean I sacrifice animals and worship the devil? No, the same thing applies to the marijuana legalization, you can't stereotype everyone because you fail to see the differences that separate each person individually
@guitarrookiie74 you're completely missing the purpose. the government DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT to make marijuana illegal. weed is better for you than alcohol and tobacco not to say that its good for you. people will always smoke weed, whether the government likes it or not. by legalizing it thousands of drug cartels lose business, and the billions of dollars wasted on the war on drugs is reduced to millions. AND the $40+ billion made from weed sales is now given to the US rather than drug dealers.
and the gateway theory is not bs...i did narcotic work for years and damn near every dope head ..crack head...meth head i have ever had contact with..and im talking hundreds to thousands...ALL SAY THE STARTED WITH WEED
@guitarrookiie74 I use to be just like you thought it was bad cuz of what are Gov said its a load of shit what they say.i have been on 6 different pills for depression all of them didnt work some i was addicted to.and who said it was okay to let people take those pill are gov. weed is the only thing that has ever help with my bi polar and OCD and depression. and weed dose not make you lazy it makes you happy and that what i want out of life and no one is going to take that away from me.
The drug war has made every ones lives more unsafe,and it is a war against the people,and we the people have lost our Freedoms! The drug war is a scam for the corporations to run our lives,Wake up People,Vote Ron Paul!
Wow, your saying Marijuana helps you think deeply about how your being fucked over by corrupt governments and industrialists? When your high, you relax, your mind slows down, you think about food and drinks and idiotic shit. If you want to be able to really contemplate your state of being, and your current state of existence in society, get a coffee and do some reading.
I am not against Marijuana in anyway, I think it should be legalized, but don't try to say it improves critical thinking.
@Disembowelment You are being ignorant if you think Marijuana can't change the way you think. You do relax but by no means does your mind slow down, maybe in some cases, but its not a given. Saying you just think about food and drinks is a horrible assumption. I'm not gonna make an assumption, but you sound like you have never used it, which would make your comment completely invalid.
Marijuana use changes peoples perceptions on life = stop upholding false institutions like Federal reserve. People on weed will think more about how much better the world can be and seek to change it. Bad news for people in suits seeking to control the masses.
Well I only smoke weed....in fact all my friends either smoke weed or have smoked it, I don't know anyone who's ever 'gone on' to heroin or other seriously harmful and self destructive substances. But it wouldn't be beyond the intellect of man to work out it's because the weed is illegal (and most people love weed) that they'll come into contact with other drugs through there dealer......
You'd think the FBI director would know more people die from prescription drugs like Risperdal, Zoloft, Prozac, and all the other crap we're now forcing on children than all illegal drugs combined.
One key and common argument against legalization is that marijuana is a gateway drug. Have people taken ONE SECOND to refelct as to WHY it is a gateway drug? It's precisely BECAUSE it's illegal in the first place!! People figure if they've already broken the law by doing pot, they may as well experiment with other illegal drugs. Afterall, what's the difference? They're all illegal. By legalizing marijuana we'd do away with the use of much more harmful, dangerous drugs.
Wait, so is the gateway theory like if you like weed then you cocaine, then meth, then oxycotton. Wouldn't it be more like if you like weed you would stick with it since it gives the high you want and if you don't like it then you don't smoke it I guess, is this why the theory is made wrong?
@PS360Million no. the gateway theory suggests that those who start off using marijuana will become unsatisfied with the high that they get after the first amazing high. So they'll pursue harder drugs to find that great high the first time they smoked. they feel that weed is the 'gateway' to the drug world. the reason why its "proven wrong" is because many people who start off with weed stick to it and dont pursue other drugs.
Look at people who are on steroids. I bet you almost ever single one of them started with vitamins. But not not everyone that uses vitamins use steroids! Generally drugs do not make people pursue harder drugs. Stupid people do stupid things.
"they probably started of with milk and then went to beer, and then they went to bourbon, and then they might have gone to marijuana. The gateway theory doesn't work." Greatest part of the video in my opinion.
Whenever something is illegal and you pursue it it's pretty likely that you could come into contact with other illegal substances. Legalization will diminish the Gateway Theory
People like mueller won't care when there are one million dead in the streets of mexico or even the US as a result of the outlaw of narcotics. I'm presuming that his hard line stance on drugs is probaby as a result of getting kick backs from the drug trade like those in that other three letter oranization has been doing.
OXYCONTIN is legal! its prescribed like its candy from a candy store, the FBI guy is retarded....way to promote our government as intelligent individuals... ::shakes head::
@Pazma1 No, youre right. The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution i believe, are all printed on hemp paper. I also can guarantee that most documents from the time period and before were on hemp paper as well.
You don't see marijuana users robbing banks, you usually see people robbing and killing people over stupid stuff like cocaine, meth, heroin, LSD, pcp, and alcohol. Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes alone. The only benefit of tobacco is rubbing it on your body to keep insects from bitting you while your camping, and cigarettes legal. It's actually harder to overdose on marijuana than pills and other drugs. You would have to smoke your body weight in marijuana within 24 hour
In the Netherlands, they sell it in very small quantities, to smoke. Try growing it by the pound or kilo, boiling it down into hemp oil for the cure of cancer and other diseases. The pharmaceutical industry is behind the draconian laws on hemp. Prior to the 1930's hemp was perfectly legal and not a problem. The problem was that hemp was the main ingredient in over 5,000 medicines. A true wonder drug. Back then, cancer was almost non-existant. Google "Run From the Cure" the Ricky Simpson story.
i get pain pills from my doctor and i hate them they work but when i don't have one my back hurts worse then before i would rather have marijuana for pain reason
On another note for those who its legalization would increase use in The Netherlands you know places such as amsterdam weed is indeed still illegal but tolerated which is why coffee shops are allowed to remain open that being said for the most they are allowed to smoke still the percentag of users in america is still quite a bit higher so as you can see it really has nothing to do with its legality americans simply enjoy it.
By sucess he means the continual incarceration of the american people for non violent victimless crimes resulting in an imense strain on our nation thanks your doing a hell of a job. Incase you couldnt tell that was sarcasm lol
how is this dumb shit in the FBI? He obviously drank the kool aid. the FBI are the terrorists along with the CIA, they have no checks and balances anymore. disgusting
That Congressmen did a 1010% job, that ass hole he questioned acted like a nazi on trial. They should of just took that guy out back and sentance him the Old Yeller!
"Started off with milk and went to beer" LMAO! Right on, man. The U.S. gov and military IS IN CHARGE of smuggling drugs to fund their fucking wars. And pay their salaries and build their D.U.M.B.'s. Listen to the whistleblowers. Google, search, find the truth. There is no 'war on drugs' as far as stopping the source. WE AID THE SOURCE. It's a total farce. Arrests are mandatory for 'show'. The U.S. supplied herion in Nam so we could deal with it. Never stopped.
literally a few seconds into the video the first man speaking says the "WAR ON DRUGS." You could call it a war but most people call it nonsense. If we leagalize marijuana crime rate would go way down and it has been proven in very VERY FEW researches, but it has been proven. Legalize Today!
hahaha hes saying if u lagalize pot u get more other drug into the people ok im from Holland we can buy weed here and we have less adicts yes less then the usa what he said was bullshit we also have less hard drugs user that arent adicted we have less crime all sorts we have 0.01 of people in prison usa has 1%
omfg u stop the drug 2 make ure comunity better so if its better 4 ure comunity to legalize and regulate it you should also dont be stubbern and do that
I can't get over it. I know I'm not stupid, I was one of the top students in my high school class and I'm doing quite well at a great university. How marijuana remains criminalized is the most baffling and curious thing. Not only can no doctor or scientist prove that marijuana is worse than drugs that are legal to use recreationally they can't prove there are any permanent negative effects of even long-term marijuana usage. When will we as Americans get our rights back to smoke marijuana?
i believe the best initiative to control this war on marijuana through a standpoint of legalization would be to substantially raise fines and punishment for all offenders of the illegal trade and sale of weed to offset the theory of kids going to somebody that has access to it legally; very much like our laws governing alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs. With the lack of evidence concerning marijuana's detrimental effects towards society.. it's my opinion that it should be legalized =)
Im mean the gateway theory is true except for the fact that because of prohibition and because of many dealers selling other drugs these kids and adults actually get exposed to these harder drugs that's why if you legalize it and cut out that medium then they will only be exposed to the marijuana and won't run a near as high risk so I mean the theory that people will move from marijuana to harder drugs is bogus without prohibition thumbs up if you agree with me
@TheParkourBegginer .. absolutely correct. The black market has been established by failed prohibition (just like alcohol..). And because of the substantial amounts of controlled substances, and the profitability of weed.. marijuana has found it's way into the same marketplace making it much more likely to come in contact with somebody who may have originally just wanted to get stoned. but through peer pressure, might try something else... something much more dangerous.
Lol. I just love that statement. It's just so true. I mean, I've smoked ganja since I was 16, almost 5 years. I've tried harder things, but never did I ever feel comfortable or secure enough, nor did I feel helpless enough to turn to these hard drugs full time. Wanna know why? CUZ I KNOW IT"S FUCKING SHITTY FOR YOU! Marijuana has never caused any serious addiction, health or mental problems for me. I feel physically better after a joint than I do with alcohol. I know that Marijuana is healthier.
Iv'e smoked cannabis 3-4 years now. Never had a problem exept some sleep problems when vacations comes to end because than you need start cutting down (Same thing with alchohol)
Ive NEVER tried anything else than cannabis, and ive had lots of opportunities for free snorts.
when not a minute goes by in America w/out an arrest for pot it's clear the feds are only filling their fat ass pockets and jails on the genocide of God's green Herb and Tree - wish mexico had the balls to restore the oil tree industrial hemp and make their economy and enviorment work for the people instead of against nature and its own people - Hemp fuel would lessen dependency on its deadly leaded fuel replacements but hell no lets be killers instead.....
. You smoke it everyday for too long and it does effect your health. I aint saying it should be illegal. I am just saying that its like cigs. You smoke that shit,dont you dare fucking say its okay and good for you. Because than you set a bad example,kids think its okay. Its not that okay,its proven to make brains function less normal. Fuck you pot head fuck sticks who are too retarded to admit its a substance just like alcohol. Dont go telling kids shots are cool and they dont hurt shit.
If you're fearfull of smoke you can vaporize. It cuts down on the harmful inhalation of smoke because THC is presented through a different medium, vapor. Also if they made it legal less kids would smoke it on a regular basis because guess what, speaking from personal experience, Marijuana is 100 times more available compared to alcohol for virtually all ages. A 12 year old can meet a guy on the street, and won`t ask for I.D.. If you made it legal for adults, kids wouldn`t be buying.
@IsolationInstigation I'm all for legalization of marijuana, but if it was legalized, why would a kid just decide to not buy it off the same guy on the street? Better pot would be easily available for someone that is able to legally purchase it, which would probably make it easier to sell to a kid or someone else.
@MrKevin396 You mean the same way alcohol is treated today? That's why we throw people who furnish alcohol to minors in prison. Not the ones buying it for themselves.
@MegaJuddo 1... pull the stick out of your ass (cuz it seems that it's hurting you) 2.. do some research.. pot isn't as bad as you portray .. 3. for all fairness compare and contrast the effects, side effects, and death toll of Alcohol vs Cigs vs Pot.. 4. realize that kids can view nearly any type of media and learn about anything at the click of a button 5. I have experienced first hand the effects... and side effects and through comparison it's a no-brainer.. pot is safer and more enjoyable.
@sergistud2010 No you moron. It has a higher risk for causing liver damage and kidney damage. It can cause the brain to be unbalance with its chemicals which in turn can lead to a blank mind or anixety disorders. I smoked weed alot dude i loved it. I developed shitty anxiety once i quit and started having panic attacks. Its pretty much gone now,but im just saying i have experienced real withdrawal symptoms.
Yea its alot better than coke or some jack...but dude that doesnt make it okay for kids
@MegaJuddo NO.. YOU IDIOT! =) .. thought i would throw an insult in there, so I could be KEWL like you... lol
seriously though.. would you rather our children pick up a bottle of booze and get into a car wreck like many teens on a DAILY basis?
Weed may have caused you an anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and a blank mind, but that's because it acts on everybody's brain in a slightly different manner, JUST like any other drug, however weed is SAFER. (go ahead and argue.. you're a stubborn fool)
@sergistud2010 It is not better than alcohol ill give you that. I am not a stubborn fool. You are the fool,i said i had panic attacks not an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can be healed. I felt really weird for months after not smoking,so i know it could not have been that good.
Anyways,i just think its wrong that people like you parade around acting like its a fucking god send but it isn't. I would rather my kids do nothing,but thats hard to have when assholes like you pressure everyone into it.
@MegaJuddo seriously.. retard. I'm not pressuring anybody to do anything.
Second off, I'm not parading around anything, other than the fact that you are very close-minded, and can't broaden your horizons to take in some simple facts and realize how beneficial legalizing and controlling marijuana responsibly, would be for our nation, and how much prohibition has FAILED!!
Marijuana isn't NEARLY as dangerous as 1000's of products that we can purchase ALL day at a CONVENIENCE STORE. prove me wrong
I refuse to smoke marijuana. I don't think it is good for you. I still think it should be legal (because of tar). I also refuse to smoke cigarettes, I think those should stay legal. The FED's are idiots...
The "most people doing hard drugs started with marijuana" argument is a formal fallacy called "affirming the consequent". Either the whole fight against marijuana legalization is based on a little logical mistake, or there is another reason not to legalize it that they just don't want to say.
As soon as he said Legalizing, Look at the FBI directors face and head, it goes down he knows hes done that hes going to get blasted. He try's to say look at parents that have kids that have died, but that gets shot down. Gateway is so over, because when you have a black market selling everything illegal, thats the gateway and prohibition causes the black market. Prohibiting a demand, like pot or alcohol brings violence, corruption and greed. Al Capone in 1930s = Cartels in 2011, same issue.
Decriminalize! Free the HERB and restore the oil tree, Industrial Hemp! God's creations, and the textile and sustanance of the ancient past and future green living - if that stands a chance anymore
love it when some twat with a false idea on marijuana gets verbally owned on the subject. The gateway argument is a pathetic argument and they have no evidence to prove its a gateway drug.
i've been watching stuff about this all day also and i really hate when people are trying to point everything back to high school kids, i smoke weed daily and i have a 3.8 gpa in all honors classes and i've been accepted to NY columbia and northeastern. i've been smoking weed for about 3 years
We have to get people to check various videos with facts that are here on youtube. Mainly those who oppose and or don't know any better
Whenever there's good justified reason for change, the fight will always be there. Why hide or wait forever. Especially in these times of cutting and deficits. Let's keep those words " life ,liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as intended.
Marijuana should be legal. However, the state nor federal government should control it. We are taxed enough! It should be grown and used by whoever chooses. Just like anything else you grow. The government should have no more control over it than tomatoes.
I love how he jumped from marijuana to heroin if a weed smoker wants something stronger they just get better weed. its Its not about the high its about the plant itself, it has its own culture behind it, saying that weed will smokers all tend to become crackheads is just stupid if thats the case then thats true for cigarette smokers and drinkers too.
why are people still so stupid. why is it still legal? because this country is run by IDIOTS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was illegal based on yellow journalism and racism! legalize it and tax it
anybody who ways marijuana is a gateway drug is dumb, because going by that strategy cigarettes are a gateway drug, becuase if you smoke cigarettes your more likely to smoke marijuana!
lets focus our time and arrest people for marijuana instead of arresting robbers rapers and murderers. Lets allow people to drink alcohal and abuse family members and friends, and kill people while driving drunk. Lets let a plant that treats pacients with cancer, AIDS, glucose, pain, rape victims, deppresion, anxiety, panic attacks, nausea, low blood pressure,Insomnia, low bloood pressure,sleep deprivation be illegal...
@321boileranimal except for the members of the band Pantera... they are awesome. I think you should be treated as a domestic terrorist and water boarded (with bong water). You obviously oppose American values (like using drugs or due process) and enjoy nanny states (like a socialist).
@ThrashInThePast lol, I am interested in seeing what the effects of legalizing pot will be... It will probably be similar to the effects of prop 215, and I can't find a reputable source (read= non-biased) for crime-rates in California and other medical marijuana states, before and after the bill went into effect. I do think that the argument "legalize pot and that will stop drug cartels" is completely riddiculous (in case you didn't notice).
@a12d4r Many of the concerns about prop 19 are the same one's voiced when prop 215 was proposed in '96. Prop 215 passed and the world didn't end. RAND Corp, a think tank, says that prop 19 would undercut cartel profits by at least 2-4% ($2 Billion annually). They also said if pot is smuggled into other states it could cut their profits by 25%. I'm ok with adults possessing up to 1 ounce and growing small plots on private property.
@jackalope101 2-4% is like a minor tax hike in the business world, some of the richest men on Earth are "bosses" of drug cartels to whom the 2 billion annual would feel like one less raindrop in a monsoon. I doubt that that would stop cartels like La Familia from continuing their business, and I definately doubt that La Familia and others would not be the ones smuggling the pot between states.
@a12d4r The same way the American Mafia ceased to make a profit from illegally bootlegging alcohol when alcohol prohibition was repealed in 1933. What precedent are you using for this "massive increase in organized crime" you anticipate. History shows that the act of prohibition is what creates the organized crime element.
@jackalope101 Something to keep in mind. Organized Crime violence dropped drastically with the legalization of alcohol. Granted, they "mafia" went into other aspects of organized crime, but the violence from their activities was virtually eliminated within weeks of the lifting of prohibition.

fredsk8x 5 months ago
Wow, your saying Marijuana helps you think deeply about how your being fucked over by corrupt governments and industrialists? When your high, you relax, your mind slows down, you think about food and drinks and idiotic shit. If you want to be able to really contemplate your state of being, and your current state of existence in society, get a coffee and do some reading.
I am not against Marijuana in anyway, I think it should be legalized, but don't try to say it improves critical thinking.
Disembowelment 5 months ago
@Disembowelment You are being ignorant if you think Marijuana can't change the way you think. You do relax but by no means does your mind slow down, maybe in some cases, but its not a given. Saying you just think about food and drinks is a horrible assumption. I'm not gonna make an assumption, but you sound like you have never used it, which would make your comment completely invalid.

Marijuana use changes peoples perceptions on life = stop upholding false institutions like Federal reserve. People on weed will think more about how much better the world can be and seek to change it. Bad news for people in suits seeking to control the masses.

SoloWing808 5 months ago
One key and common argument against legalization is that marijuana is a gateway drug. Have people taken ONE SECOND to refelct as to WHY it is a gateway drug? It's precisely BECAUSE it's illegal in the first place!! People figure if they've already broken the law by doing pot, they may as well experiment with other illegal drugs. Afterall, what's the difference? They're all illegal. By legalizing marijuana we'd do away with the use of much more harmful, dangerous drugs.

Wait, so is the gateway theory like if you like weed then you cocaine, then meth, then oxycotton. Wouldn't it be more like if you like weed you would stick with it since it gives the high you want and if you don't like it then you don't smoke it I guess, is this why the theory is made wrong?
PS360Million 5 months ago
@PS360Million no. the gateway theory suggests that those who start off using marijuana will become unsatisfied with the high that they get after the first amazing high. So they'll pursue harder drugs to find that great high the first time they smoked. they feel that weed is the 'gateway' to the drug world. the reason why its "proven wrong" is because many people who start off with weed stick to it and dont pursue other drugs.

You don't see marijuana users robbing banks, you usually see people robbing and killing people over stupid stuff like cocaine, meth, heroin, LSD, pcp, and alcohol. Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes alone. The only benefit of tobacco is rubbing it on your body to keep insects from bitting you while your camping, and cigarettes legal. It's actually harder to overdose on marijuana than pills and other drugs. You would have to smoke your body weight in marijuana within 24 hour

In the Netherlands, they sell it in very small quantities, to smoke. Try growing it by the pound or kilo, boiling it down into hemp oil for the cure of cancer and other diseases. The pharmaceutical industry is behind the draconian laws on hemp. Prior to the 1930's hemp was perfectly legal and not a problem. The problem was that hemp was the main ingredient in over 5,000 medicines. A true wonder drug. Back then, cancer was almost non-existant. Google "Run From the Cure" the Ricky Simpson story.

i believe the best initiative to control this war on marijuana through a standpoint of legalization would be to substantially raise fines and punishment for all offenders of the illegal trade and sale of weed to offset the theory of kids going to somebody that has access to it legally; very much like our laws governing alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs. With the lack of evidence concerning marijuana's detrimental effects towards society.. it's my opinion that it should be legalized =)
sergistud2010 11 months ago
Im mean the gateway theory is true except for the fact that because of prohibition and because of many dealers selling other drugs these kids and adults actually get exposed to these harder drugs that's why if you legalize it and cut out that medium then they will only be exposed to the marijuana and won't run a near as high risk so I mean the theory that people will move from marijuana to harder drugs is bogus without prohibition thumbs up if you agree with me
TheParkourBegginer 11 months ago
@TheParkourBegginer .. absolutely correct. The black market has been established by failed prohibition (just like alcohol..). And because of the substantial amounts of controlled substances, and the profitability of weed.. marijuana has found it's way into the same marketplace making it much more likely to come in contact with somebody who may have originally just wanted to get stoned. but through peer pressure, might try something else... something much more dangerous.

@MegaJuddo
If you're fearfull of smoke you can vaporize. It cuts down on the harmful inhalation of smoke because THC is presented through a different medium, vapor. Also if they made it legal less kids would smoke it on a regular basis because guess what, speaking from personal experience, Marijuana is 100 times more available compared to alcohol for virtually all ages. A 12 year old can meet a guy on the street, and won`t ask for I.D.. If you made it legal for adults, kids wouldn`t be buying.
IsolationInstigation 11 months ago
@IsolationInstigation I'm all for legalization of marijuana, but if it was legalized, why would a kid just decide to not buy it off the same guy on the street? Better pot would be easily available for someone that is able to legally purchase it, which would probably make it easier to sell to a kid or someone else.

@a12d4r Many of the concerns about prop 19 are the same one's voiced when prop 215 was proposed in '96. Prop 215 passed and the world didn't end. RAND Corp, a think tank, says that prop 19 would undercut cartel profits by at least 2-4% ($2 Billion annually). They also said if pot is smuggled into other states it could cut their profits by 25%. I'm ok with adults possessing up to 1 ounce and growing small plots on private property.
jackalope101 1 year ago
@jackalope101 2-4% is like a minor tax hike in the business world, some of the richest men on Earth are "bosses" of drug cartels to whom the 2 billion annual would feel like one less raindrop in a monsoon. I doubt that that would stop cartels like La Familia from continuing their business, and I definately doubt that La Familia and others would not be the ones smuggling the pot between states.

@a12d4r The same way the American Mafia ceased to make a profit from illegally bootlegging alcohol when alcohol prohibition was repealed in 1933. What precedent are you using for this "massive increase in organized crime" you anticipate. History shows that the act of prohibition is what creates the organized crime element.
jackalope101 1 year ago
@jackalope101 Something to keep in mind. Organized Crime violence dropped drastically with the legalization of alcohol. Granted, they "mafia" went into other aspects of organized crime, but the violence from their activities was virtually eliminated within weeks of the lifting of prohibition.
