War on drugs - cannabis and Meth

[Dutch Masta]

The thing is, there is tons of crime involving marijuana. But its really only because the illegal status has caused the drug market to skyrocket making marijuana extremely valuable and expensive. If it were cheap there wouldn't be any problems. Its simply insane that a mere OUNCE of marijuana, a natural growing plant, can hold a market value of upwards of $500. That $500 generating into nearly twice that when it comes to individual sales.

Imagine the government sold cannabis seeds at a moderately reasonable cost to anyone who wanted them, and citizens were allowed to grow their own marijuana. The government would profit on it, and it would be so incredibly favorable over resorting to the drug trade that it would eventually eliminate it almost completely.

to have a valid debate on Meth/pot..you need people that dont smoke pot to be on these boards.which i doubt there are any.All you guys say Pot isnt bad for you, yes, pot is, you can get lung cancer and any of the other diseases that you can get from Ciggs. You see, you smoke it, so of course your gona act like there is nothing bad with it, and tell others that. Im pretty sure MEth heads will say the same thing about Meth.
Should pot be classified the same as harder drugs? No. Of course not. Pot isnt called a Gateway Drug because it makes others go to harder stuff, its called that because it introduces most people into the World of Drugs, where they then get access to harder drugs once they build a tolerance to Weed and are looking for something to get them high.

Please quit posting if you don't know what you're talking about.

You cannot get lung cancer or any other diseases you get from smoking cigarettes. This includes any form of cancer, emphysema, etc.. Marijuana is completely natural, without anything being added to it, and when consumed orally is harmful in no way to your health, and when smoking it is only not healthy. Marijuana isn't good for your health, but in no way is it a risk to your health as are cigarettes and alcohol. Marijuana isn't a gateway drug at all. Alcohol and tobacco are the gateway drug if there is one. Why? Because they're legal, and much easier to get ahold of. What did I start with? Cigarettes..then alcohol then weed then pills then dope...and here I am right back with weed because it's the only thing that hasn't negatively impacted either my health or lifestyle. Not to mention marijuana is the only one that I've never been addicted to.

Introduces you into the world of drugs? You're a dumbass man. Caffeine is a drug, tobacco is a drug, alcohol is a drug, prescription medications are drugs. That's the legal world of drugs. My world of drugs includes marijuana. And it will never kill me nor deplete my health. So why don't you put the pipe down because someone like you has no business smoking marijuana.

Umm...of course there's tons of crime involving marijuana! It's illegal..anytime you associate with anything to do with marijuana you're commiting a crime.

hmm..I don't quite know how you're associating 'tons' of crime with marijuana, but you can read some of this if you want..it's certain statements from the government and then a truth of the statement..
