I dont believe everything I learn in school. Its hard to when different classes say things that contradict eachother

like what classes?

[Pipe Dreams]

The only reason I think ALL drugs should be legalized is simply because I dont think that ANYONE has the right to tell anyone else what they can and cannot put into their body.

[kushy420]

I believe what I learn in school though, otherwise I wouldnt pay to go there.

yeah but that depends on how educated the teacher is and how biased they make their lesson, cause some people like to tell you marijuana is just as addictive as crack and although weed is addictive its no where close to being as addictive as crack

[delusionsofNORMALity]

to take a freedom from everyone based on a worst case scenario is illogical. sure there are those who will spend they're entire lives stoned and steal to maintain the high, but the majority will be capable of moderation. by an across the board prohibition you are essentially penalizing everyone for the failings of the few. if this seems right to you, then perhaps you're ready to live under a totalitarian regime. i, however, am not. the very idea of someone else deciding how i should live my life is repugnant, as it should be to anyone who loves freedom.

as for MJ being addictive:
i'm not even going to get into that other than to say that i have been addicted to several drugs over the course of my life and, even after prolonged heavy usage, i have never had a problem when i came time to give up weed for a while.

this is true, but there isnt a surefire way to really base how much more or less one substance is addictive to the other because a lot of it is based on your biological chemistry. if your father or mother was an alcoholic, youre more likely to become one than a crack head, or a heroin addict, and so on and so forth. this is kinda theoretical but i dunno.

like what classes?

juvenile delinquency, the exceptional child, adolescent psych, abnormal pysch, and social psych. I dont mean different theories either. The juvenile delinquency class is the worst. I even checked the date the book was published to see if it was just old and didnt have updated information. It was 2006 though.

Yall people call him a doofus? He's asking logical questions. lol.. well, at least to me.
But listen, if you don't know EXACTLY what you are smoking and what it's doing to you, don't smoke it.
Weed isn't addictive to me, so I smoke it.
And if anyone tells you it isn't, it's cause they aren't addicted.
You MIGHT get mentally addicted but people would argue that there isn't such thing AND marijuana is not physically addictive like alcohol and ciggs(to name 2).

and to anyone that thinks that they should legalize EVERY drug?. lol.. that would NOT be a good idea and will NEVER happen. there are way too many EXTREMELY dangerous drugs legal right now and cocaine, meth or heroin should NOT be added to the "legal" list.. lol

and dont get it twisted, I'm all for weed getting legalized for obvious reasons.

This report?

Junky monkeys - 16 October 2000 - New Scientist

Scientists showed monkeys a lever to push to inject themselves with marijuana, and some of them did it 30x in an hour. It shows that monkeys "strive to inject themselves with the active chemical in marijuana in the same way that they seek out cocaine or morphine."

I'm not sure what to think, and I'm not sure I care. I started smoking bud 2 years ago, and I've breaked for 4 months, smoked for 3, breaked for 3 months, smoked for four, breaked for 7 months, smoked for two, and break for another month. I have no problem with it, so I won't worry about it. I'm waiting to see what other reports come out over the physical addiction though.

[Spoken Word]

^lol. monkeys?

Thats like an expierement with kids and candy.
If candies addictive its cause it tastes good.
If the monkeys wanted more its cause they like being high.

We show proof that weed isn't addictive everyday.
We don't break into people houses for a "fix" or suck our dealers dicks for a "fix".

That' shows more than any study with monkeys, imo

and i hope im not offending u.. juss being real
