Recreational cannabis

Well it's like Alcohol. Alcohol was banned for a long time, eventually after they got sick of the rebelling and smuggling of the Alcohol, the legalized it. At the start they didn't have perfect laws, but as time goe's on and more bad things happen, the whip will come down. It's sad it has to work like that, but eventually solid strict laws will be put in place.

As I showed on one of these pages above we still are not tough on drunk driving. Light sentences for killing someone while driving drunk seems to be the norm. It's gotta change before we throw more problems out there.
 
I live in Canada, we are one of those countries that give "slap on the wrists" for even murder. I agree with some of these sentences, if justified. I think if a teenager smoked some weed and accidentally went off the road and veered into a tree and got a careless driving charge. Let him go, let him learn on his own. But if he smoked weed, was high and knew going into the car that he was unable to drive properly, drove and hit a person and killed them. Then it is righteous to give him a hefty sentence. But, I also am a very faithful and karma filled man, I believe redemption should be allowed. We all deserve it.

I sort of agree with the teenager who hurt no one. But the courts should do something like take away his license for at least 5 years. But in todays courts that would a stiff penalty for the drunk driver who hurt someone which is basically a slap on the wrist. And I am speaking from idiot people I know let alone constantly read about.


I believe in redemption to a point. But some things can never be forgiven.
 
i think liberty is crazy for thinking weed has anything to do with the homeless problem in the united states today...

the homeless problem is due to not enough jobs for everyone that lives in this country, legally and illegally...

and on top of that, many and many reasons such as the cost of living factor with such a low pay rate (minimum wage), the economy as the way it is, it's hard and keeps getting harder for people that makes mistakes to overcome the difficulties of release after jail/prison to get a job and to live with no money or help, the system is a "set-up to fail" mainframe... and for the simple fact that you have people like liberty that gives two shits about people and giving people second chances when their crime wasn't major, deadly or violent... there's millions of unemployed and homeless that don't smoke weed or not a criminal... they just landed on hard times due to a reason or another, doesn't make those people losers as you say... it only means that this country is falling apart and crumbling due to incompetence and mismanagement, as well as greed and evil...

there's no proof, only "study's" and "people saying that these people are blaming weed"...

yeah, seems to me that they would be homeless regardless if they smoke the pot or not...

just because someone smokes weed or drinks doesn't make them a criminal, a convicted criminal nor a career criminal... over 2/3 of the worlds population either smokes weed, have tried weed in their life or will try or smoke it in the future... your mom, or grandma, or uncle, or even your priest smokes weed...

and you also get people like liberty that thinks he's fighting for liberty but more acting and talking like hitler if you ask me...

next, people like liberty are going to want people that feed the homeless to be jailed and the homeless to be shot, oh wait, that's already happening...

also, let me point out the lack of debating skills that liberty has when he thinks otherwise, which indeed makes me laugh out loud... and people are blindly buying his bs, which is the sad part of it all...

The very people coming there are saying they migrated there for the pot. These homeless people are admitting it themselves. Are they crazy and not telling the truth?

Every problem predicted is happening because of this.

Higher crime.
More car accidents.
More homeless people.
More medical issues related to pot.
Kids in school using pot thinking it is just fine and dandy.
More of the peoples money being used for police and such to handle the new problems related to pot.

I don't see how that justifies taking on an aggressive tone. :unsure: Those kind of responses are attempts at asserting dominance, same with the haughtiness. It's really off putting.

I know you think of me as passive aggressive but I am child's play to the poster above me who seems to have this obsession about me and not the debate itself whatever it might be.

and i can write an article that says space aliens are migrating to denver for the pot too, doesn't make any of it true... even before this legalization, people were smoking weed, this is not new, but you claim the legalization of weed has a major impact of using when people were using before, for years and decades and centuries...

  • higher crime? how?
  • more car accidents? how do you know and how do you know it's because of weed?
  • more homeless? how?
  • more medical issues related to pot? how, please do explain...
  • kids in school using pot thinking it is just fine and dandy? um, nope, wrong again, kids were always doing stuff that they were told not to, including smoking the pot way before this legalization...
  • more of the peoples money being used for police and such to handle the new problems related to pot? how do you figure?

liberty, it seems like you have the case of, "saying what ever crazy thing you can think up without knowing what you're talking about and the facts" syndrome...

it's funny how you say that i have some sort of an obsession with you there liberty, when you clearly went after me and my post in the thread first, not the other way around...

and i'm the type of person that defends myself and what i post, unlike you...

you dodge and weave, not answer my questions/comebacks to what you say, and you even try to change the subject every chance you get, simply because you get out debated...

it seems like you're the one that has the issues, not anyone else here...

Going after each others posts is why we are here and making it lively and heated is even fun.

Your obession is when you make it a personal thing against the very debater instead of keeping it on the subject. And then you ask these questions that have been answered before in posts above then get ask the questions again because you didnt like the original answers.

and you also get people like liberty that thinks he's fighting for liberty but more acting and talking like hitler if you ask me...

next, people like liberty are going to want people that feed the homeless to be jailed and the homeless to be shot, oh wait, that's already happening...

Well then lets just shut down the debate room now because you proclaimed no articles are any good unless you deem them to be.

The list has been answered not just on one article but many articles for each one on the list.

And it seems your obsession with me continues instead of the subject when the answers provided doe not fit your narrative.

why do you continue to say that i'm obsessed with you? are you wanting people to be obsessed with you? i'm not really sure what you're saying because now it seems like you want me to be obsessed with you or something, and it's kind of weir-ding me out... i'm not personally attacking you, just saying that you're talking like you're hitler... not a personal attack, just my overall evaluation on what you say and what you want america to be... it's not my fault, it's your own...

instead of saying you've already answered my questions (which you have not), why not just answer my questions? it's not that hard... and i never said nor proclaimed that all articles are bad, but some of yours are trash and worthless pieces of garbage that doesn't prove anything, nor prove what you say... you just think something proves something when it really doesn't...

now stop trying to dodge my questions above and answer them, if not then i'm not going to even try to continue this...
 
Read above and you will find the answers to your questions. Or maybe you are looking for another answer. LOl! I don't know what you are trying to accomplish from things already answered. Now if you got something that disputes those claims we can continue.
 
yeah, that's what i thought...

you have answered none of the above questions i've asked you... you claiming something to be true, i challenge it, then it's up to you to prove to me that what you say is fact, not me proving you wrong...

not much of a debate if you don't want to debate...

again, great debating skills you got there...

Have answered them all you just do not like the answers from me or the articles. Debating cant happen if you keep asking questions already answered but yet want to rehash them again expect a different outcome.

But I have, it is all in the post above. Heck its all in the post from the last debate we had on this subject. But you are good at over looking those and coming up with some twisted way of discussing a issue by making things up people never said.

So the articles you only pick are good. LOL! Got it! :huh:
 
so you're saying you never said/posted that list above?

which is not even true...

and you can't prove the list nor answer the questions i've asked...

good job...
