The majority of posters here are American. If we speak about something common in the context of American life, it should not warrant people to jump up and down and explain to us that there are other countries besides America.
This. It seems to happen every so often in a post, someone posts something and then someone says something about how it doesn't apply to their country, and in my opinion it is just flat out stupid.
Still, I find it strange that you're opposed to pot and yet you didn't say anything about cigarettes or alcohol which are much worse for you.
And here we go with the backpatting coolness again. I despise social justifications for things blatently incorrect. I'm not perfect myself, but I try not to go through great lengths to justify my errors.
The irony is delicious. Religion.
Agreed.

Just because its illegal doesn't mean its bad.Right, but because it's illegal, and you can get caught and put in jail, it's bad for your over all record which is what RealArhkyn was going for.

^^ I giggled.
Yeah that was kinda of strangely put; alright Criminal Record = Bad for your life heh. Getting caught with pot on you = stupid reason to be marked as a criminal. That better?

Then a better and correct thing to say would be "Pot would be harmless if it were legal" then.
Pretty much.

Oh hey I missed this post, I'll just respond to it now.
The majority of posters here are American. If we speak about something common in the context of American life, it should not warrant people to jump up and down and explain to us that there are other countries besides America.
Firstly, the post portrayed cannibis users in a negative light:ZOMG Drugs are cool! I get high and everyone should think I'm cool because of it!In b4 "lolz, u dnt noe wut teh F ur talkin bout"
as both illiterate/dumb and social sheep.
However, the only point in his post as to why someone should not use cannibis is that is illegal. Now, as I pointed out, cannibis is not illegal everywhere else (and people are also contesting the illegality of it practically everywhere it is illegal) and I'm sure that you of all people MyTie would admit that just because something is the law it doesn't make it right.
To review: his only point was a subjective one based on location; the only way to reply to it if at all was to point out that not eveyone occupied the same country. I did so.
Seriously, I hope for your own good you stay out of jail. Better yet, no arrest record. An arrest record !@#$s up your life. One arrest = 10,000 fewer opportunities.
Yes this is correct. There is literally no place in the world that cannibis is not illegal. Not one. No sir. None at all. Nope.
In the Netherlands cannabis isn't illegal to use.

I get what you're saying dude, and I think it is stupid as well, because I'm guessing a fair number of those people are very heavy alcohol consumers, I just don't think that you should have specifically targeted that post that was in reference to the risk (not morality) of smoking marijuana. It can be risky to smoke marijuana in the US, but I definitely agree that the idea that smoking marijuana makes you somehow less intelligent or mature is idiotic.

Try not to use absolutes when presenting arguments. Pot wouldn't be harmless since it can still cause lung cancer and is proven to have a detrimental effect on short-term memory and reaction time. Smoking it through a water pipe can help filter some of the carcinogens.
All things considered though, the ill effects of alcohol and tobacco smoke are far worse.

If you smoke it though. You can always eat pot brownies. However, basically all forms of tobacco or alcohol consumption have some risk to you, either liver, lung, or oral cancer.

I don't like:
Drinking
Getting high
Smoking (anything)
I don't like it when people are:
Drunk around me
High around me
Smoking around me
I don't care what's illegal as long as I don't have to see it.
Kill yourself on your own time.
(Also, eat a vegetable or two with your steak)

Pot is a killer Loki? All I think about when people make claims like this is "Reefer Madness" and the anti drug short films of the '60s.
It incurs the same risks as being drunk. Impaired judgement kills people daily.
I don't like things that screw with my brain's chemistry. I don't even take pain pills unless I'm freaking dying.

So does a lack of sleep...If you ever stay up late then you are as bad as druggie in your world?
I also try to get 8-hours every night possible. And I definitely wouldn't drive or anything on low sleep.
EDIT: I guess you can't have a stressful job either...Nope. Hate stress. I do photoshop and crap. Couldn't be less stressful. Though if you're arguing that stress and lack of sleep effect your brain just as much as alcohol or pot, you're crazy.
