Harmless weed

**Fish Boy** · 06-27-2017, 11:26 AM

I'm a drinker and can't stand smoking the green stuff but in all reality booze is much more dangerous than the green stuff.

No one needs to smoke anything in order to survive.

There's a falseness in that particular argument; you know it, I know it, and the American People know it.

Alcohol isn't necessary for survival. You're making crap up to justify your pro-War on Drugs worldview. It's asinine.

Anyone who believes weed is more dangerous than alcohol is either brain washed or just plain ignorant.

Probably the older crowd who saw the videos that said if you smoked pot you turn into a murderer or rapist. Well all know that's not true but I'm sure some it had an affect on how they viewed pot.

Yep, actually makes a case for legalization.

Anyone who thinks "weed" isn't as dangerous as alcohol is either burnt out or just plain ignorant.

It's not the weed that got the kid beat up, it was a byproduct of him not following the law.

Doesn't matter if you agree with the law or not, you still have to abide by it. The kid made a bad choice which put him in jail, which put him in this bad situation.

And there's the gateway aspect of weed...

Two weeks later, they were spotted while out for a Sunday drive (artist's rendering)...

Sorry Hugo, I don't have a worldview of any kind.

I never said alcohol is necessary for survival. I said drink.

One could say that same, that it's not necessary for survival, about any one liquid beverage, like coffee or tea for instance.

If you can't see the bigger picture I am painting for you, maybe it's time to come down off that high.

I try not to get involved in these types of threads...because of comments like yours.

Alcohol is far more dangerous...directly or as a byproduct.

How many people have you heard of whose dad got drunk and beat the shit out of them...beat their mom...the list goes on...all the way to Manslaughter...ALL BECAUSE OF ALCOHOL...

Weed doesn't even compare to alcohol.

Give me a break.

Legal sycophants nod their head in full agreement with you, foolishly. He didn't harm himself, men used the power of words on paper to justify stuffing someone in jail where he was harmed by another inmate. His offense was not deserving of either of the wrongs done to him.

Not high, I drink Tito's when I want a buzz, but I've watched the lies propagated about drugs for the explicit purpose of infringing on my rights my entire life. The drug war is nothing but a tool to advance tyranny and those who repeat the lies are their useful idiots.

That said, based on your reply to me, your comment was even more nonsensical as a rebuttal to the post you quoted.

**D.O.C. 989** · 06-27-2017, 12:34 PM

This type of incident happens on a daily basis all around the Country in our Prisons and Jails, this is not an isolated incident. Weed is on par with alcohol as the root cause in these incidents, one is not king over the other. If weed were legal this would not have happened but it happens as much with alcohol as weed. Many first time offenders with alcohol are placed in similar circumstances and assaulted daily. If you take jail or prison time out of the equation for both then you eliminate this problem. The hard part is where do you draw the line, 1st 2nd or 3rd liquor offense, 25 lbs, 50 lbs, or 100 lbs for weed. The bottom line, in this incident was the residual effect may cost this young man his life. In this case the weed was the reason he was in jail and therefore the cause of his demise so for those who say weed has no ill effects I submit that you are wrong.

You understand that arguing that alcohol is more dangerous that pot is an argument for making alcohol illegal, not for making pot legal, don't you?

If you are in the "legalize pot" camp, you need a better plan, and to be better able to articulate why it should be. That is all my comment addressed.

Not being able to make sense of my post is a problem on your end, not mine.
