MrExzibit
In UK you can smoke at 16, but buy at 18. You can drink alcohol at age 6 i believe. But if the parents allow it.

you can't lose a leg or a life to a blunt, unless you fall asleep with it in your mouth and burn to death
MidgetHumper
Apples to oranges, while I agree with the statement the comparison is a stretch

Here you go son, you're old enough to shoot this rifle at the enemy. If you survive, I will give you a beer in 3 years.

"The government trusts us to eat with knives sharp enough to cut ourselves and die, but can't trust us to not cut ourselves with weed?! WTF"
slyvic
I say we kick all those public servants out of the government since they don't serve the public anymore and we're still paying them.
mrchoijinboi
I understand what you are saying, but the military is in institution where you shoild not be impeded by anything under your control.

16 yr olds can't get cannabis either. With or without the dangerous cars.
tathrok
Did someone say they could, friend?
PlantainSuperNova
No, but this whole post is built on false equivalency
tathrok
I felt the poster was attempting to convey 2 valid points, but I agree with the false equivalency part.
ExistentialDreadlocks
Yeah yeah, cannabis is not dangerous. But it's not exactly good for you either. Stop promoting it like it's fucking broccoli.
StrawberryJamJam
While I don't agree with the way you said it, I agree with the general sentiment.
foxmsfDD
Yeah. Cars aren't kill machines. They're vehicles. They CAN hurt someone, but that's not their purpose.

Ah shit. There goes my argument. 1 gif and done
scottjaeger
Hey! Cannabis leads to relaxing and distracts you from working hard and being a good consumer.

Pot is the medicine that best conquers suicide for some people. We should be having criminal investigations into the VA.
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
Why is this not agenda? When has making sense not allowed to be agenda? Why can't we say, "this is my agenda, you'll find it makes sense."
rezpawner
Guys: Pot is illegal. It's far better for them to get some serious opioids, because atleast those aren't dangerous or addictive.
SnartHelg
legalize weed guns now
jeandolly
But it's a gateway drug ! To... to... a happier place generally.

If I'm old enough to have sex, buy cigarettes, skydive, sign legal documents, fight for my country I should be able to have a goddamn beer

The state doesn't get money from the marijuana.

They fuckin should so people don't have to do a life sentence anymore.

In most cases the alcohol lobby is the biggest opposition. In MA they aired ads about the danger of 'stoned driving'. ironic

After my deployment to Iraq, the Army told me I couldn't go on leave to Cancun with me family because Mexico is "too dangerous". My

Do people these days even know why pot is or even became illegal?
BeryBigBongBoi
I know.

http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/history/mustomj1.html A lot of conjecture and false attribution it seems.
Slapjudy
Nylon industry put up cash for a slander campaign. Didnt want to compete with hemp.
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
Haven't you heard? It causes Negro jazz musicians to go on crazy murder/rape rampages!
RichardCraniumwasalreadytaken
I heard it had a lot to do with the cotton industry. Hemp being a better material for sturdy fabric.
Bangloff
IIRC hemp posed a threat to the paper industry so they created a fear campaign so the public would support a ban. Don't quote me though
katiaaaa34
I thought it was more because of the competition with the big money tobacco industry, but Im usually wrong
Bangloff
There's a lot of reasons lol like I said don't quote me because I'm not an expert or anything. I just knew one of them
DaddyFritas
toborne
And racisim. Go back and read the quotes from the guy who made it illegal. "[Pot] gives darkies the courage to look at white women"
khaleesimotherofkittycats
I had heard it made white women attracted to black men lol
Bangloff
Like I said scare campaign. I'm sure back then that was terrifying to people
Nobahdi
Come to the South. It still terrifies people.
Bangloff
I'm from southern Maryland so not like the Deep South but still the south and I see it. Not nearly as much in my generation but older folk.
iReportStuffYouJackOffTo
i think weed should be illegal still and treated as an illegal substance. and no, im not religious or indoctrinated.

daromander

BananaBard
I'm not to sure but I think currently it has something to do with taxing
Dracornin
And I think you're a programed idiot who can't think for themselves and would eat paste if the government said it was healthy.
GlitterShitter
Mmmmmmn paste...
ClifEsq
Someone has a different opinion than you = programmed idiot. And people wonder what's wrong with the world. You're a real gem.
GrizzlyAdams298

Hitlersbulgingmilkybreasts

There can be stupid opinions but that also doesn't mean they're wrong

Some are so indoctrinated into feeling bad about cursewords they feel uncomfortable about swearing even to an audience that doesn't care.
