So, you support making alcohol illegal then, right?

I'd rather it not exist, but hey, a fool and their vices. Prohibition pretty much taught us people will break the law if they don't agree with it, but just because people don't agree with something doesn't mean there shouldn't be laws around it. Hence drinking age, blood alcohol levels, and general policies against public inebriation. And people still fuck up and take others down with them.

I don't care how responsible you are. Great that you are, really. Can you speak for the other guy, though? They're the ones who having more readily available access equates to an unlocked gun cabinet in a house full of children. I know we love to call it Darwinism when some sensationalistic headline hits the media about someone being an idiot, but it's also easy to be a heartless bastard when you have no connection to anyone involved.

Now, back during the election thread, the subject of pot came up and I made similar arguments back then. In regards to medicinal purposes, I made a simple point: Find a way to make it a pill without the ability to be ground up and smoked with very strict prescription, then I'll be okay with it there.

I'm from California and I'm pretty well trained to hate motherfuckers who smoke where there's clear 'do not fucking smoke here' signs posted all over the place.

Pretty sure I'd have the exact same attitude to potheads. Doesn't help your case for marijuana being 'non addictive' when you display the same behavior as tobacco addicts.

ehh because disrespecting by-laws is a sign of addiction?

Do you want us to end up like Canada? Do you? The red headed stepchild of the world?

still not legal, cops just don't act on it for small amounts, can still be fined and you better not walk down the street doing it (should be the same as public intoxication/drinking in public imo -- it's just not classy san diago)

If I recall, I think weed smoke is less harmful than tobacco, but I'm not sure how much so. Using a water bong/vaporizer makes it better (Or more accurately, less bad) than smoking it straight from a joint/cigarette.

EDIT: Wiki to the rescue:
However, recent studies have shown that using a vaporizer for cannabis consumption appears to eliminate almost all of the health problems and objections related to cannabis use.[21][22][23][24][25]

See that, there are FIVE sources, so you know its hella true.

anything burning/lit inhaled is a possibly carcinogen, including fire's smoke from a burning building

Kohan, stop posting things that make me hard.

Even though you never directly answered my question, I'm going to assume you meant that alcohol shouldn't be illegal. But if you think that prohibiting something (like marijuana) will prevent people from using it while operating a motor vehicle, doesn't it make sense to do the same thing to alcohol? What about cell phones? Are we going to make them illegal because someone may use one while driving?

Apparently, you not only dodged the question posed by another person -- regarding illegalizing alcohol to be fair -- but you also didn't pay attention to what I stated about sativa and indica. As I don't feel a need to type it again, I suggest you re-read it, and perhaps come to understand how ignorant you are when it comes to medical marijuana.

Furthermore, if you're mentioning the prohibition, you should understand that keeping a legitimately useful product -- one that's significantly less harmful than alcohol even if used recreationally -- illegal is ridiculous.

I also wonder if you're aware that alcohol prohibition never completely ended, as a lot of people who use this argument seem to be entirely in the dark about that. Amusingly enough, some of the states where alcohol sales are still tightly prohibited are the ones most infamous for abusers, low grades in school, and general idiocy in the populace. Who knew?!

Oh, that's right, people who paid attention to that sort of thing did.

Kohan, stop posting things that make me hard.

You better not look at the picture I posted in the "South Beach Diet" thread then.

Hard guy routine?
Haha, what?
If you think I won't tell someone off for that shit you must not know me.
Some people don't react well to that (and I'd give just as little of a fuck about their feelings on the matter as they give about mine evidenced by the fact that they'd blaze up right next to me) and a fight could break out.

Makes more sense now & that I can understand... thought you were saying that you would fight ppl just cause they smoked in front of you. I never smoked cigarette's but used to smoke herb regularly. I just don't like it when ppl smoke herb around me [now] cause of getting contact high. And it just makes me tired as all hell

[Lavik]

the only place ive ever had contact high was at a mars volta show
then i just smoked my own weed anyway
i dont think hot-boxing makes you moar high either you just end up reeking

[Kiro]

Hot boxing gets you higher, believe me. Tiny ass bathroom, 5-6 people with a few J&Bs being passed around. You will be thoroughly fucked in a very short amount of time.

[Lavik]

5-6 maybe but 3-4 in a car doesnt do shit

[Shuemue]

I smoke a joint whilst walking my dog occasionally, but I try to be discrete and wander off to a quiet area of the park away from where the kids play. In my youth I used to be a little more blatant, but these days I try to be vaguely considerate.

[Katlan]

but 3-4 in a car doesnt do shit

depends how much your smoking

[Day]

depends how much your smoking

College days = 5-6 of us in a suziki sidekick, blunts to tha dome, and one for shotguns. Tell me that didn't do shit lol...

[Kiro]

This. If you smoked like Day in a Suzuki you'd probably pass out, lol.

[Lavik]

ive never conquered a blunt in one sitting

[Katlan]

Depending on your tolerance & how many friends you have, it can be easy (lol). When I used to smoke, Joints/blunts used to knock me out after a few hits... but some of my friends could easily finish a joint/blunt to themselves or duo and still be perfectly coherent and functional.

It's easy to hot box, just depends on much your smoking. 3-4 (or even 5-6) ppl and one bowl and gonna do shit for hotbox. But a joint/bong/ect.. can easily do the trick. But here is the most important thing about hotboxing... The herb better taste damn good, cause hot boxing average/regular herb sucks haha

[Kiro]

5-6 people and one bowl? Rofl, that's some slim 'pickins.

What I really want to try is a Volcano Vapo w/ a bong, both being passed around. If you haven't tried smoking with a vapo I suggest you try it. Add the bong hit on top of that afterwards and you're going to have a very comfortable high for a few hours.
