Hey dude--don't want to attack you, but you are spewing forth BS you've learned from DARE.
<< There are no REAL benifits. >>
Are there real benefits to cigarettes? Alcohol? No... the benefits of these drugs are social. Alcohol nor cigarettes nor marijuana are required for daily life on this planet. The reasons people do them are multifold. Some to escape from life's problems, some just to experiment, and everything in between.
And just thought I would throw in that marijuana DOES have real benefits--those being medicinal--to those suffering from diseases such as glaucoma.
<< No, I'm not judging based on alcohol and ciggarettes. Drugs are much worse, pal... Do I have to say this? It's kind of obvious...drugs are worse than cigs and alcohol dude. >>
Where's your proof of this? And if you are excluding marijuana from this, you should have stated so. If you are including marijuana, I would like to know in what ways it is worse than cigarettes and alcohol.
Keep in mind that the original subject of this thread is about weed versus alcohol. If you're talking about heroin or crack cocaine, that's a different thread.
<< Yea why don't I try some drugs a few times so I can OD and die, or how about I drink so I can go get in a car accident and get decapitated or screw some whore and get AIDS(pardon my language please). >>
Boy that sounds like it came right from a DARE pamphlet (well, maybe it's paraphrased a little). Drugs, like anything else in life, are about personal responsibility. I agree with you that people abuse substances... but there are underlying reasons for that abuse which should be addressed. But don't you agree that it should come down to being responsible for your own actions?
<< Yea you may start off in moderation...then it grows and grows until that's ALL you think about. >>
This is a gross generalization and is not always true. Again, it comes down to the person.
<< And people don't need drugs to fill a void in life. If they feal that, then maybe they need to reevaluate their life and make some changes in the way they live it, not do some drugs so you can not think about it for awhile. Geez, that's just common sense. At least it should be. >>
I agree with you here. But criminalizing drugs does not help eliminate that void in some people's lives. Throwing drug users in jail does not treat them. The problem is far more deeply rooted in society. It's like using nasal spray when you've got a sinus infection--you're trying to cure the underlying problem by treating a symptom. Drugs are only one thing people abuse--others include food, money, power, and other people.
But marijuana is not bad, despite what you've been led to believe.
