Marijuana: Facts, Myths, and plain old Stupidity.

It is simply silly to say that weed would be less accessible if it were legal. It would be more accessible, plain and simple.

Don't get me wrong. I am for legalizing it. But the arguments most pot heads make are borderline ludicrous. Just admit you like it, and want to smoke it whenever you want. That is good enough for me. You don't have to create phantom reasoning like it will make it less accessible if it is legal or that it is less harmful than air and better for you than multi-vitamins and everyone is safer driving on weed than without. Everyone knows that when you are high everything seems like a good idea. Just admit you are high so getting high seems like a good idea. That argument is good enough for me.

We're talking about accessibility for minors. They could still steal it from their parents as no doubt they do now, but would have one less venue, the street, to purchase it. I would guess that the increase in use by parents would be far less than the decrease of weed sold on the street. How many legal establishments are going to risk their licenses to sell cannabis by selling to minors? How many of their employees are going to risk going to jail?

Very few "pot heads" make the more ridiculous arguments you've outlined above. Everything seems like a good idea when you're high? What?

I'm curious what the average price of cannabis is at medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado and California. Nate?

The guy I buy from is 60 an 1/8th. He supplies a dispensary, but does the service on the side. There's probably ways through illegal channels to get better rates if you buy bulk, but I don't have need for that. I only get high for SNL and scary movies or when I have friends over. I would guess 60ish for an 1/8th is pretty close to the actual price even at the dispensaries.
 
By the way, I highly recommend pot for scary movies. They're so much scarier when they're good, and so much funnier when they're bad.
 
Ever sat through a wedding you only felt obligated to attend? Getting drunk doesn't get you through the boring rituals and mumblemouth priests. Getting high does.
 
Ever worked for a summer digging holes and picking up trash on a construction site? I did. Fortunately, I had a Super who liked to drive me out on the site and get me high. Making 8 dollars an hour was never so painless.

I was a little high my last day working at a sheet metal factory (about 3 1/2 years ago). It was unintentional, and I got through the day fine, but I was a little worried.

I knew it wasn't a good idea, just as I know it's not a good idea to be high when studying for or writing exams, driving, etc.
 
I gotta admit most of this doesn't have anything to do with me despite the fact that I am a medical marijuana patient in CA, other than Obama lying yet again and going after the dispensaries. I don't give much business to dispensaries anyway since I grow my own.

For me this has become an important and irreplaceable medication. It works wonderfully as an anti-inflammatory and actually works to slow the process of my RA. There are many medications I cannot take especially anti-inflammatories because I have a severe stomach ailment that the doctors are still trying to figure out, but that means less pills or more vomiting. Medical marijuana helps both situations tremendously. I also help another lady I know that suffers greatly from RA- she's almost totally crippled. She and I understand this like no one else could, and that's why I say please lay off our medication Feds.

Medical marijuana is nothing compared to the morphine, Norco, chemotherapy, experimental medications, weekly injectable meds, and much much more that I take every week. At this level for them to complain about some freakin weed is just a joke. I guess it takes their minds off the terrible jobs they are doing and how they have run the nation into the ground and the fact that they too will eventually die.

Serious question. How long do the effects last? Do you just take a couple of tokes or do you have to smoke an entire joint? Is once a day enough or do you have to blaze up every couple of hours?

Done-I want the freedom to smoke it if I choose because it makes everything awesome. I want to eat peanut better and jelly sandwiches that taste like french kissing an angel, I want to hear music that sounds like a amusement park ride for my brain, and I want something to help me when I'm having a bad day without drinking or popping a pill. I want the freedom to use it because I'm a responsible adult and law-abiding citizen who works a full-time job and goes to night school, and it poses no immediate threat to me or anyone else. It should be legal because the efforts devoted to keeping it illegal are an embarrassing waste of resources and human tragedy, and do absolutely nothing but empower the government to control our lives. Anyone that thinks it should be illegal or that it's a threat on the level of meth or cocaine (or even cigarettes or alcohol) either A) has not tried it for themselves, or B) is lying. I don't smoke it now because the risks aren't worth it, and that's ridiculous.
