Suppose the pharmaceutical industry had a method to process medical marijuana pills that eliminated the 'high' effect but retained all of the positive medical benefits of Marijuana. Would you continue to call for the legalization of common Marijuana use?

Wasn't it you who said people who want legalized pot are just a bunch of idiot stoners?

Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else.. if so, my apologies.

Ok, lets try this again.


Suppose the pharmaceutical industry had a method to process medical marijuana pills that eliminated the 'high' effect but retained all of the positive medical benefits of Marijuana including pain relief and its spearmint flavor!. Would you continue to call for the legalization of common Marijuana use?

If booze is legal, and that's 100000x worse than marijuana, then yes it should be legal, if not at least decriminalized.

Disagreeing with that means you're a sheep and you don't actually know anything about the "drug" you have a problem with.

It's just the truth.

Marijuana = not harmful or dangerous

Liquor= harmful in more ways than one.

Do you even know why the former was banned ? any research done at all as to why you're against it?

Alcohol was banned but the US public rebelled and it was made legal again.

No such response from teh public at large for other drugs.

Also alcohol is the drug which probably does the most damage to American society not other drugs. Its legal because most people want it legal, dangerous or not

I cherry picked videos...I'm sure I could find videos whehe governor of the Hawaii has done something similar. You're statement was completed stupid when there are people on both sides who will never agree on legalizing drugs. The State of California voted down a marijuana law recently, one would think it would pass in a state the blue.

I am pretty sure Corky is a self professed democrat. That's the problem when you label someone because of one issue. It happens a lot here.

I can't tell you how many times I've been called a conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, RWN, LWN, and/or racist here depending on the issue and who is doing the calling.

There is no reason for it to be illegal. Some people want a drink after work, some prefer a harmless joint. Marijuana is a perfect example of government having to much control over what we choose to do in our own homes, with our own bodys, in our own lives. Marijuana being a safer more controlled buzz then alcohal is a shitty argument, freedom is a better one.

A bit of a misguided statement, but not surprising. There are multiple reasons why the law didn't pass, and its not just because people don't want it legalized. There is no incentive for anyone who already legally grows marijuana in California to vote for legalization.

It would save money here. Bail for a person who is arrested for pot <10 grams is $120. Make it a ticket and save the paperwork, the clogging of the court system, jails, etc.
However drinking in public is an arrestable offence here too. And people wonder where all our tax dollars go plain
