No bait and switch this year, Big Frank, OK?

You obviously have no idea about the privatization of our prisons which led to my statement. Educate yourself on that. Glad you see you back track on your addictive stance though. Maybe you should also Google the difference between habit forming vs addictive.

​People don't usually risk their careers over 'habits'.

One has to literally be blind to not see the link between the start of the war on drugs and corporations like CCA being founded. The amount of misinformation that was disseminated by our government still seems to have a hold of some of our low iq posters like tn05. Cause marijuana is totally addictive. This website I googled told me soooo!!!

LOL, I have a 4.0 college GPA and have researched this issue myself. But since I disagree that marijuana is completely harmless (and maybe a miracle drug) I'm stupid.

Well that's completely relative. Most people don't have to take random drug test like athletes every couple of months. You are kidding yourself if you don't think people are doing it and aren't in danger of losing their careers over it. The fact is it isn't as dangerous as government propaganda would have you believe and there is no justification why a plant should be illegal in a "free" society. If you want to argue why it shouldn't be illegal go ahead. But don't come with bs that it's addictive. There's overwhelming evidence by former and current users who will laugh you off the face of the earth with that 4.0 college gpa telling you how wrong you are.

​I don't believe it should be illegal. I'm just not in denial that isn't harmful to some degree. Being harmful in and of itself is not justification for banning something. 

And as for my 'bs that it's addictive', I'm the only one here that's presented actual evidence, two articles that are well-researched with internal citations to study and are in-depth. The 'evidence' you have consists of unreliable personal testimony from an internet forum. In any meaningful scenario the former is more important. But that's just me...

Its the internet.

 

 

Everyone has a 4.0 from MIT, a 12" dick and a bisexual pornstar gf.

 

 

Get over yourself.

​Get over yourself and present some evidence.

lol @ the pot evangelists.  So prickly and defensive.

Be carefull when throwing out your GPA.  4.0 is something to be proud of but does not always translate to how smart a person is off campus.

I have no real issue with weed.  However its like anything else, when abused a positive can turn negitive in a hurry.  I have seen many ppl start with mary jane and get bored, so they move on to harder substances.  IMO thats the biggest reason its against the law.  Im not going off internet reaserch, just everyday life.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Smoke weed everyday

[Wundrbread33]

Some of you conspiracy theorists must be high...

[top dawg]

I really didn't start the thread to be a Huddle referendum on the legality of weed, or a debate as to whether weed is "addictive".  I will say this: 

Unless you are a stone-cold stoner (which is ultimately by your own choice), weed is not "addictive" enough to lose your professional football career and livelihood over in any shape, form or fashion.  

Let's not be stupid. Even Ricky Williams put the ganja down long enough to make some money.

Harmful in what sense? Can you cite me numbers of how many people have died from this plant annually? Or maybe give me the all time numbers of pot related deaths there are?

 

also for comparison you should tell the class how many die for cigarettes and alcohol annually.  Then come back with your harmful argument. 

 

Quit acting like linking some government funded study who are practically paid to give bogus data for funding. I'll take evidence from people who have actually used and been around the plant more than some government funded nerd whose never used a day in his life.

​In the very least, in the senses I described earlier: that it can be addictive, and that it negatively affects the brain while being used (and possibly afterwords).

I never said it was worse than tobacco or alcohol (in fact, I said the opposite). The fact that you assume I did suggests that you didn't read what I said.

And as to that last part... lol. You are in denial. Internet potheads are not more reliable than actual studies, with actual science and actual evidence.
