marijuana compared to fast food --go back to hs

[king_tanner 84]

This isn't the first time teacher has started a thread bad mouthing DN. A man can have his own opinion whether he is right or wrong. If you are so apalled why are you still here?

teacher, teacher, teacher... oh hateful teacher... based on your comments, how do you feel about alcohol being legal? Surely it's proven that more deaths related to alcohol happen on the roads as compared to marijuana? The law is all screwed up and doesn't make much sense at all. If you are going to legalize alcohol then there is NO good reason why marijuana shouldn't be legal. Cigarette smoking is legal and that has way more harmful chemicals in it than marijuana. One last point: if you truly believe that obesity doesn't affect anyone but the person that is obese you are missing out on the bigger pictures. With such an obesity problem in this country it is a monster strain on the economy. Medical insurance rates would plummet if less people suffered from the myriad of health problems associated with obesity.

OH Daniel Daniel Daniel!!!! The whole picture well how about the 10 year olds who will very easily be able to get marijuana. cigarettes does not do what marijuana does to the brain. God you are some hypocrite!! You eat all this healthy censored but you you can drink and smoke marijuana and that is ok. Man your analogies are that of a 1st grader. You have nos ense of the overall picture. Marijuana affects the mind cigarettes destroy the human body. I hate cigarettes too. But at least they do not affect the way the mind works. Go eat some Tofu and have a 6 pack and bong hit. Now there is the hypocrite I know.

Dude, when you resort to insults you are the one that sounds like a 6th grader. You should stick to reasonable arguments, you have some, but they are buried under you nonsensical jarggon. I will try to fish the out though. 1. Marijuana would probably be restricted to 18 yr olds and up, so 10 yr olds smoking would be illegal.2. Marijuana does affect the brain, but not to the extent that you think it does. smoking occassionally is virtually harmless. 3. Alcohol also impairs judgement and can do perminant damage to the brain (thats what happens when somone blacks out)4. The tofu comment is intended to be mean and hurtful/ you do not offer any constructive criticism whatsoever. If you walked into any academic setting and said that the would pity someone so utterly incapable of making a cogent argument without resorting to 1st grader name calling. Also, Daniel's point is well thought out and articulate. I think it deserves more respect then simply being called a 1st grader analogy. 5. As for Daniel being a hypocrate. First of all you assume he smokes pot. Lets, for the sake of argument assume you're right. Occasional marijuana has virutally no lasting detrimental health effects. In excess... yes it can/ does. Same with booze. At least shut down the name calling, it really makes you look like a bitter imbecile.

And as for bashing liberals... well I have written extensively on this issue and do not have the inclination to explain to you why liberalism is not only "not evil" but it is actually imperative to this country's existence. Take care.

u make some good points, i agree that mj and alcahol is worst then fast food because u can hurt other people...people that eat fast food r doing it to themselves...im just wondering...u wait for any oppurtunity to attack DN...u couldve made the same point without attacking him...post after post, thats all u do...ur a misrable lil fuck...are u a gambling degenerate that hates life and hates DN because hes succesfull...y do u post here if u hate him so much? what made u come to this site?

What's this connection between marijuana and driving? Does anyone really get high then immediately say "oh man, I have to go somewhere. Right now, everyone in the automobile!" Then the person's buddies are all like "dude, where do you want to go?" And he says "Just out, man. It's this weed, it makes me want to visit distant establishments! Let's get reckless!"

[speedz99 145]

Now that is funny!! It is imperative. HAHA HA Just gave my father the best laugh he has had in years. He had tears running down his face.

HAHAHAHAHAHA......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Oh my god. I finally figured this kid out. I mean, obviously from his posts (grammar and content) we know that he isn't too bright. What I never realized is that he is really just doing this for the attention. He likes showing his daddy that he can argue with a famous poker player.Oh man. That's so sad. Yet it amuses me to no end.For the record...marijuana should be legal. It will do less harm to your body than fast food (most people you would call "burnt out" were like that before weed...it's a chicken/egg thing), and is less dangerous to others than alcohol for obvious reasons. There is a ton of evidence that countries/provinces that have legalized marijuana are doing just fine. That's neither here nor there. The point is that teacher12 is pathetic and needs to find a new hobby. Going to someone's Web site just to start arguments has to be the saddest thing I have ever seen. Seriously kid, just tell your father to take you to a ball game or something. You can make fun of liberals there.

Second funniest thing i heard all day. This has me in tears. What makes him a genius? His diet and his poker 2004. Besides that one year in poker and his diet of veggies and alcohol and weed. He has proven himself to be a complete buffoonYou are right buddy. On top of your vast knowledge about everything else in the world, Daniel has never been a successful poker player other than 2004.~sw``

Wont marijuana contribute to eating big macs too though?

very clever.

teacher, teacher, teacher... oh hateful teacher... based on your comments, how do you feel about alcohol being legal?

Medical insurance rates would plummet if less people suffered from the myriad of health problems associated with obesity.

Ok, why are more deaths related to alcohol than marijuana? hmmm....well, maybe because marijuana is illegal and fewer people use that drug. If you make marijuana legal, I'm sure you'll see a sharp increase in the number of marijuana related motor vehicle deaths. Cigarette smoke doesnt alter your state of mind, in any measurable amount. Marijuana does. Alcohol is a different story, I do feel that alcohol, in general, has no purpose. Making it illegal, would be no problem for me, because I dont drink. Basically it sounds like your argument for legalizing marijuana is that other bad things are legal, and so should marijuana. By that logic, you're only a few steps away from cocaine and heroin being sold in every neighborhood drug store. Logically, that would be the next step taken by radical leftists, right? If you give an inch, they'll try to take a mile. There are many factors that contribute to medical insurance rates being so high, and picking out one problem to support your own point is a pretty weak argument. I seriously doubt that obesity is the #1 reason for medical insurance rates being so high, but if you can prove me wrong, I'm willing to listen.

of course cigarettes affect the brain...whats the buzz that people smoke them to feel? Anybody who thinks alcohol doesnt affect the brain is well..stupid...Probably the biggest reason why cigarettes and alcohol arent illegal is b/c in our great society if u spend enough money u can basically get whatever u want. I dont think ull find anybody here willin to deny that alcohol is much more dangerous then marijuana. Also cigarettes are pretty darn addicting too. ask anyone who has ever tried to quit something like that. Whats ironic is that of the 3 marijuana has shown the most help for the largest amount of people (all those cancer patients) yet it is the one thats illegal. Just something to think about

Quoting Tucker Max (from his website tuckermax.com)Tucker “No one. I just heard there was free liquor, so, you know…game On.”Her “Nice. Drinking alone is one of the beginning stages of alcoholism.”Tucker “Oh I’m way past the beginning stages. I already sit alone in the dark and drink, and hide liquor around my house. I’m a full blown, irreversible alcoholic.”Her “Nice. Excellent.”Tucker “But you know, I think alcoholism is highly underrated. It gets a bad rap. Think about: What really are the detriments to being an alcoholic?”Her “I don’t know. You tell me.”Tucker “OK, well, let’s think about it: 1. It hurts relationships with family and friends? I don’t like those people anyway; 2. Causes long term health problems? I drive way too fast to worry about anything long term; 3. Costs money? I’m going to spend it recklessly anyway, better on alcohol than on drugs or pornography; 4. Causes rude and aberrant behavior? I’m an ******* when I’m sober; being drunk actually calms me down. Now compare that to it’s benefits: It makes me invulnerable to criticism, makes ugly people attractive, makes boring people seem interesting, and makes hot girls like me. For my money, the choice is obvious.”Thought that was a funny corollary to this debate. Oh and Teacher sucks I hate you.

I just think it's ludicrous that alcohol is considered illegal, but not one thing you, or anyone in office, has said is a valid reason pro one and not the other. By the way, it is also VERY dangerous to eat fast food while driving! LOL.

Ahh, someone making cogent points! It's refreshing, the teacher is an idiot. Anyways, NBC news recently ran a special on how obesity just overtook smoking as the #1 preventable health concern in the united states. I assume their sources are good, and I assume that in being the #1 prev. health concern they are using money as a measuring tool.... not very strong counterargument, but i have not really researched it at all. Prohibition is a disaster. we already tried that it lead to a sharp increase in crime (violent too). Drug dealing has also lead to a sharp increase in crime. Legalizing it would increase tax revenues, lower crime (fewer drug dealers ect.) and make marijuana regulated (making it safer and making more jobs for people in the U.S. Now, your argument that this would lead to other drugs being legalized is your most thought provoking pt imo. There is, however, a HUGE difference in weed and c0ke and heroine. Some people argue that if people are stupid enough to use these hard drugs then so be it. legalize, tax the heck out of em and let the country reap the benefits. These other drugs, however, are mainly physically addicting, causing people to do crazy things to get their fix (killing somone and taking his wallet). This means that these drugs would put society at large risk, i do not think marijuana would... so that is where you draw the line.

teacher, i see your point... i really do. i'm not a fan of pot, actually very much against it. however, i do believe there are far more dangers to our youth than pot. i understand the passion of your stance, but i believe you're missing the overall picture. we live in a fast food word. weight is up, quality of health is down. the Big Mac our friends and family consume day in and day out will cause far more damage than the pot "little teacher" is toking behind the dental building during his lunch break. does it make it right? of couse it doesn't. but when "little teacher" grows up and stops smoking weed the rest of the world still has....A- heart problems, B- lack of energy, C- loss of sex drive, D- back problems...the list goes on. Pot kills brain cells...yes it does. Fast food increases my insurance payments, decreases our energy, and lowers our kids selfworth. I guess if we're all fat we're going to all toke up to numb the cheese burger we just killed. once again, i see your point...but see others as well.sorry for the rant, it must be the crack.

Hmm where to begin on this one. As an active college student I would probably say I have a fairly well and accurate opinion on this as I have smoked weed, drank alcohol, and smoked newports.First of all Alcohol is the worst drug mentioned out of the three mentioned, period. It is not only easily accessable but it is readily acceptable in our society today. There is no problem if you like to kick back the occasional brew after a hard days work right. Habitual alcohol comsumption does more damage to your brain and body then habitual marijuana use. If you smoke weed, sure the chemicals in your brain are thrown off for a bit, but they can correct themselves. Marijuana doesn't affect your liver, kidneys, or many other vital organs like alcohol does. It really is a poison.About some earlier posts about driving while being high. You rarely ever hear of someone getting in accident because they were high. You see when you're high you tend to put a lot of energy into whatever your focused on. When your driving high you, most of the time, are actually a better driver because your more focused then when your not high. Driving drunk is terrible although I've done it. It's a struggle to focus on what your doing and your motor skills are thoroughly thrown off.I know many successful adults who still "blaze" every night but own successful companies or are just plain successful in life. I don't buy into the fact that a drug will ruin your life. Only you will ruin your life. If you don't have the will power to be responsible about your use then its your own fault. I agree that it is a bad situation for teenagers as a few of them cannot be responsible. With that said though there are a majority of them who can juggle their habit of smoking weed and life. I had over a 3.0 gpa, scored over a 1200 on my sat, and was a three sport athlete in high school all while smoking weed.It's my belief that if the government would take a more active role in educating people about managing consumption and life it would be more successful. If the government needs so much money it would be such a wise move for them to legalize marijuana and tax it. Have weed bars and only allow a certain amount to be purchased each week. It would allocate so much more money and time to be invested elsewhere instead of on a petty little thing such a weed. I was charged with unlawful possesion of marijuana (although in ny my question is when is it legal then?) for about .8 of a gram, which to anyone who smokes knows that it is a tiny amount, and it caused more trouble in my life then me smoking did. I had to spend over $300 in lawyer fees and such to get it erased from my record. Not to mention the time it took away from, the struggle with my parents, and public opinion. Law enforcement is much better off spending their time fighting the manmade drugs such as crack, e, etc. as they do much more damage to our society.Sorry for babbling on so im gonna quit while im ahead lol.

I'm going to claim that marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol. Marijuana is like a combination of alcohol and cigarettes, so it should be legal? So it is safer than both of them? I really don't understand your reasoning.Marijuana has only showed some help for cancer patients as a painkiller, and there are many other painkillers that aren't illegal. Marijuana is NOT a cure for cancer, please.

Damn, when did we all get our MDs? I took a class on drugs and alcohol my first semester in college, and the one thing I remember is my professor was asked which he would rather have his child do, smoke weed or drink alcohol, and he said smoke weed.And it wasn't one of those graduate students, this guy's relatively well-known in the field, and has an MD and a PhD. For what it's worth.

My mother died of cancer. She tried every painkiller you can think of and NOTHING took away the pain she experienced day in and day out. She cried herself to sleep nightly for months till she got accepted for Marijuana treatment. Her final two months were hard but she could manage. Don't preach about the medical use of Marijuana when you have no experience of it. No it's not a cure, and yes i'm aganist the use of the drug on the street...but don't tell me there was another painkiller for my mother.

Pet. You're wrong.You do know that MJ used to flow like wine in the United States. That the river beds of the Potomac in Washington was lined with the weed?Alcohol is manufactured. Alcohol isn't natural. Weed is.Now, I'm not for one of the other. But the hypocrisy in the whole debate drives me mad.I think both, at their "heart" are silly, but to say weed is more dangerous that alcohol is down right wrong. Alcohol really changes people. At that moment that you are down right trashed, drunk as hell, can't think, act, or remember what you did the night before...is horrible.I used to smoke weed, and I never suffered from the "blackouts", or poor decisions made while drunk. When you are really really drunk you are just to be plain and simple, not who you are while sober. Same thing with weed, but with weed you won't be blacking out, or driving on the wrong side of the road...and other stupid stuff drunks do.I have friends that still smoke weed, daily...and I really don't like it, or agree with it. It would be the same thing with friends that get drunk every night. I don't see a point, or a resolution to it, except altering their own reality...But still: Alcohol and weed. Do you know why weed was made illegal way back in the day? Go do some research. - Jordan

A few things, Marijuana is not a combination of alcohol and cigarettes it is in fact the exact opposite...it slows everything down instead of speading it up. You dont black out as alcohol tends to make u do. Somebody above said that marijuana helps you to focus in at near paranoia states and that can be true at times. As for it being compared to cigarettes. Cigarettes are much worse than marijuana. Those ads you see from i believe Thetruth.com? are real. the makers of cigarettes seem to just pick up a bunch of crap off the side of the road on the way to work and throw them into the machine that makes cigarettes. as for your point about the cancer patients. Had a nice talk with a cancer survivor a few years back about the whole marijuana situation when it comes to cancer. She asked a very simple question: "when yoru sick dont u expect the very best possible medicine out there?"Will you be the one who tells the cancer patient that he/she has to take a pill that leaves them hugging the toilet for an hr b/c the best possible medicine is illegal b/c government officials havent been paid enough to legalize it? The reality is that marijuana is way ahead of the other options for cancer patients who deal with pain and rapid weight loss and they are being told to suffer even more...What a great place we live in
