    Default DEBATE: if alcohol is legal, why shouldn't marijuana be?

    if alcohol is legal, why shouldn't marijuana be?

    studies show that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. there are few, if any relative statistics apply, that show marijuana causes more accidents than drinking while driving.

    next step

    marijuana is a gateway drug

    a gateway to what? why isn't alcohol considered a gateway drug?

    assume arguendo that marijuana is a gateway drug. what gateway does it lead to and why does it lead to that gate and alcohol does not lead to that gate. (epic compound question)

    if you drink alcohol, why is it you are opposed to marijuana?

    Um... Does anyb9ody take the side that it should be illegal?
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Less and less people smoking it. Even diehards like me are switching to vaporizers. Easier on the lungs, far better economy on the product too.
    Even more efficient is eating it or drinking it. (not that I don't like to puff a fatty now and then).

    think 300 degree vapor is what lungs were meant to handle ? but at least thats less likely to harm other.

    Wrong as usual. FedCo shouldn't regulate it at all, and the legality of it's use should be a matter for the individual States.

    This, by the way, is exactly my position on most issue, and you may use gay marriage as an example.

    Rune, why are you always so fucking wrong?
