Quote:I thought the same thing when I first read what he typed, seemed to be the typical almost cartoonish portrayal of someone who smokes pot.
Lol, he has got to be playing us all. Reminds me of the mom in Waterboy. Weed is the devil!

He kinda reminds me of a bi-polar Nancy Regan with tourettes syndrome..
Quote:The irony in all of wolverjags posts is what makes them so special. Where have you gathered all of your knowledge from wolverjag?
All I know is I was smoking weed before Wolverjag was even born, so I know what it does and doesn't do to people. I don't partake anymore but hey, if someone else does, toke away my friends.
And I got in More trouble with alcohol did I ever did with weed (0 trouble with weed)

I'm all for someone disagreeing, but I just can't stand uninformed people making baseless arguments. I could certainly make a case against weed, a much better one then weed is the devil, even if I don't agree with it. We need less Wolverjag view points in the world and honestly, I think we are getting less of them. It's nice when people start looking at the science and facts instead of stories their mom told them about drugs.

I used to be the hard core anti-marijuana type as an adult, myself.. Yeah, I used it a bunch as a kid for recreational uses and the such.. Then I started reading stories like these <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/'>http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/</a>
Now, I'm fully convinced that this is a miracle plant and I'm fully supportive of it's decriminalization.. Long story short, any substance could be considered a vice and be abused, food, alcohol, marijuana, the list can go on and on..
It's time for people to remove their heads from their rears and open their eyes to the truth.. This is NOT a gateway drug and it has great medicinal purposes, some even life saving..
To quote the late great Bob Marley, " when you smoke marijuana you reveal you to yourself"; looks like Wolverjag didn't like what he saw.

People who think like Wolverjag do not look at the whole picture. Whether you agree with weed or not, people are still going to smoke it and will do so regardless if it is illegal or not. the question then becomes is it better for society as a whole to regulate and tax it or keep it illegal. I think the failed war on drugs would answer that question. And they are already seeing a decline in the black market with the amount of pot being seized (which has dropped). I'm okay with people disagreeing as I mentioned, but do so intelligently.

It's no surprise that some of the biggest opponents of marijuana law reforms were black market dealers.
It boggles my mind when I look at the statistics regarding incarceration of offenders of laws regulating marijuana use, cultivation and distribution...especially use. So many young people, many of them poor, have had their futures nearly ruined, or at least created unnecessary roadblocks for themselves, before many were even old enough to drink legally. Were they often stupid? Of course, but does that make them criminals? For too many, the answer to that is yes in the eyes of potential employers.

This is pretty much where I'm at on this subject. It's no better or worse than alcohol. Nobody is demanding that be made illegal.
It's no more a gateway drug than food or alcohol. In a strictly medical arena, the benefits it brings to patients dealing with debilitating ailments are countless. RJ knows this better than most. Cancer patients, people with MS, and a host of other medical ailments could benefit greatly from legalizing medical marijuana at the very least.
I think it's well past time to decriminalize it. Heck, the tax revenue alone should have states salivating.
It really grinds my gears that the vast majority are on the same page with this and yet we can't get any movement by the vast majority of politicians... the prison lobby must be making a killing on pot incarceration... or maybe the alcohol industry didn't want the competition?

My only guess is WolverJag is a politician..
Quote:Yeah, Colorado is booming on dope heads.
I live in Colorado, and unless you lived here prior to legalization, you would know that MJ is not a negative aspect of life here. Pot tourism is positive industry and medical MJ does a lot of good for a lot of people. We are one of the healthiest states to live in with the lowest percent of obesity in the US, and when Florida legalizes it, I will come back home to grow there.

It's a combination of things but you hit a big one with the private prisons. It's big $$$ the narcotics system, the State uses it to justify huge budgets, the Private Prisons make a killing on the traffic in and out of the prisons, and finally the legislatures can't figure out a way to regulate it so only taxed entities wold grow it. The stuff grows so easy it would be difficult for them to say you can't just grow your own weed and sell it or use it (that would leave them out in the cold unable to tax it).
I think the war on drugs is the perfect illustration of what happens when we combine corporate greed and the states power, we all end up screwed and broke.
