more us teen smoke mj than tobacco

As the kids of baby boomers start to become the elders, the decriminalization of pot is basically inevitable. There are just so few people in that & generations after who have NOT at least tried pot, and many who were regular smokers. Most will understand that fears of pot and claims of its addictive properties, as well as being a "gateway drug," are way overblown.
 
I think it's definitely good, but it's still not good for your lungs. It's just nowhere near as bad as cigarettes. I smoked a joint with a friend of mine the other day and the first thing I asked when he handed it to me was "what kind of rolling paper is this?" Because it wasn't white. It was unbleached rolling paper. You know it really made a difference, it didn't burn at all, much less harsh.

But smoking of any kind for me is just something I would limit. No way I would ever smoke weed every day. Just my opinion.

for all the intelligence you try to portray on this board, you really are naive. pot will never be decriminalized as long as there is money to be made off of it. the gov will legalize it, commercialize it, and tax the fuck out of it.

Good! There is a ton of revenue the gov't can bring in from legalizing pot. California alone would practically get over their debt issues. Beats spending money on incarcerating kids...

You are talking about billions saved and billions in taxes.
Why not tax it like booze?

Yeah I am all for that. Why wouldn't it be taxed??

Amazing how with hundreds of thousands of our youth having their lives destroyed (and of course by far affecting blacks disproportionately) legalization and taxation of the product, just like all other products, would be the problem?

Some people's priorities...well, I guess that is what they call white people problems.

right. and the next thing you know, they'll be taxing us for the air we breathe. I realize that most of you proles don't realize this, but by allowing congress to increase their power using the commerce clause, they now have the assumed authority to dictate if we must plant roses in our front yard and what color they must be. You realize that, right?

It's interesting though - they don't do that, or any of the other paranoid visions you might have.

They won't tax the air we breathe, either - that's just fearmongering hyperbole. They'll tax pot like any other sin tax. How is that a problem? You'd rather it stay illegal and that thousands of kids continue to get shipped off to prison every year?

I can't relate to that, at all.

Roses? The edict I received required me to plant nothing but stone fruit tress in the backyard and fruit bearing shrubs in the front.

like any other progression towards rights infringement, they will go baby steps at a time. It's the proverbial frog in a pot.
why is it that you sheeple will bitch and moan about things like the PATRIOT ACT removing freedoms, but dance and cheer about the government taking more of your income for you to use shit that used to be free? practically begging for slavery.

you'd rather be a fucktard and ignore all my posts about congress not having any power to regulate a naturally growing weed?

i realize that as a liberal, you probably despise Justice Clarence Thomas and most likely think he's just another conservative authoritarian (for the most part, he is) but maybe you should read his dissent in Gonzalez v. Raich and get an idea of just what that majority decision allows congress to do.
