Do you think Marijuana should be legal? (US resident)

That's more of a British thing as I understand it. The overall gist though; no one would force it into being the only alternative nor would it be. That's what I'm disagreeing with you on.


I'm even more confused. If you want to mix tobacco and marijuana because you want to get your nicotine with your weed - do it.


If you really want to go technical I don't think the active chemicals, if pulled out of the plant, would necessarily taste or smell like weed. Its because of this that we're not talking about rolling paper as you put it.

I never said anything about anyone being forced into anything. I think you need to reread my initial post.



In your first sentence, you say you're confused, then in your next sentence you act like you understand. If you read my initial post, you'd see that I was asking what would be a an alternate filler for a marijuana joint, as some people probably won't like smoking straight MJ. You don't seem to remember that



I'm not trying to get technical, people drink alcohol because it get's them drunk, and people smoke MJ because it gets them high. It's not technical at all. Beer has a lower alcoholic content than whiskey, there's nothing technical about it. Some people don't like drinking whiskey because it has a higher alcoholic content than beer, again, there's nothing technical about it. Some people don't like real powerful strains of marijuana because it might be too "stoning". It just preference. The taste of marijuana is ,in most cases,ancillary to it's desired effect.

K. It sounded like in your first post you were complaining about the prospect that all the lighter stuff would be laced with tobacco and that you aren't a tobacco smoker. Think I was just reading that in NT rather than aspie, and the fact that you kept trailing on after my first reply was what made me think my reading it in NT was correct (I was confused as to why you kept asking a question I already answered).

I was assuming that there were going to be blends, and that while one of them was going to use tobacco, I was wondering what another blend might have consisted of, in a smokeable form.

My answer to that was shisha. You'd could easily be smoking dried fruit and spices with it.

It should absolutely be legalized in my opinion. There's a plethora of information regarding it's medicinal properties. One book I highly recommend is "Marijuana is safer: So why are we driving people to drink?" http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Safer-D ... 867&sr=1-1

It's been proven alcohol is deadlier and more harmful than marijuana. No one has ever died from marijuana overdose.

As a recreational substance, I find it safer as well, how often do you read about "potheads" (for lack of better terminology) committing acts of rape and theft and assault while high? I don't know about you, but I've never come across any articles or information on that.

Not to mention how it would potentially help the economy, with many businesses created from it. One main reason it remains illegal is to keep the prison systems running. (Had a whole lesson on this in my college Criminology class).

That's just my 2 cents, I'll end this here before I type an entire book.

It should but it won't because the prison industrial complex depends on it and other drugs being illegal to survive.

Keynesianism at its finest.
