Poll of the Day > Marijuana legalization

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah its certainly not some magical wonder plant

But it does have some positive effects for some and is a much safer alternative to some of the legal stuff folks use nowadays like opiates

Just living seems hazardous to ones health. These substances just make it easier to deal with all the daily bullshit.

Not a single current society is using cannabis to its fullest potential for our greatest benefits.

That tells me that its benefits are a lot less than you're suggesting - otherwise, simple laws of supply-and-demand would have it take over, because someone would recognize the incredible profit-potential of this miracle plant and monetize the hell out of it.

The fact that that hasn't happened, even in countries where it is legal, is an immediate sign that prohibition wasn't holding back any sort of cultural and societal evolution like you're indicating.

SunWuKung420 posted...

Do you believe that the propaganda that led to the prohibition of marijuana was based on truth and fact?

I don't see how this is relevant to the discussion, but I can't say I've ever looked in-depth at the rationale for why marijuana was banned.

That said, it doesn't really matter - we're not arguing if they were right to ban it then, we're arguing if it should be unbanned now. Whether or not they followed a good process back then has nothing to do with whether or not the stuff has long-term health risks we need to be concerned about now.

The materials I have seen from back then were long on hysteria and short on actual research... so you should be totally in favour of making a decision now that isn't based on emotions and gut instincts, but instead is backed up by thorough, peer-reviewed study.

I've never understood this. This is advocating legally allowing companies to create and freely market poisons like crystal meth or cocaine and sell them to addicts, in essence profiting off of the misery and death of others. The gaming community is all up in arms about lootboxes being manipulative and addictive profitmongering, but you're in favour of letting big business run rampant with marketing chemicals that can literally kill you? There's a pretty big disconnect there.

But even ignoring the questionable morals of the proposal, there's another logical flaw in the argument that few people acknowledge. Generally speaking, I'm in favour of allowing people to make decisions - even bad decisions - and suffer the consequences. Want to get into prostitution? Hey, it's your body, do with it what you will. I say legalize it and get some protections for the workers there so that they aren't facing potential clients that could hurt them or pimps that will exploit them. Want to end your life with dignity and on your own terms rather than suffer through the agonizing end of a terminal illness? Doctor assisted death is A-OK by me.

The reason why I make an exception for drugs is because the "I should be allowed to choose" argument, which is usually a solid one, starts to look pretty shaky when you're talking about a substance that literally takes away your ability for free choice. I would be a lot more OK with the idea of legalizing recreational drugs if they weren't, in many cases, extraordinarily addictive. Because while I believe people should be allowed to make bad decisions, I also believe that if they have a change of heart they should have the opportunity to correct those bad decisions. Drugs make that correction extremely difficult - coming clean, especially off something like opiates or cocaine, can take a Herculean force of will, along with a good support system, and many addicts have neither. The opioid epidemic that is killing people by the score isn't happening because recreational opiates are illegal; it's happening because these are very, very addicting substances that can kill your ass dead and the crisis would be roaring on unabated whether these drugs were legal or not.

Because the idea that marijuana is unsafe is rooted in propaganda that was simply fearmongering lies. Prior to prohibition, and for many, many years before, its safeness and usefulness was already known.

That's not comparable. Selling drugs would be like lootboxes if people were like "Buy and inject yourself with these heroin needles; if you find the one with a gold coin in it, you can keep it!"

Lootboxes are an issue because the intent is to deprive you of what you want for as long as possible. Drug dealers just give you what you want and let you make up your own mind if you want it.

Cannabis contains cannabinoids. My brain, your brain, everyone's brain has receptors for cannabinoids. Hmm, why would the brain be specifically designed to willingly accept cannabinoids, but we don't make it ourselves? Maybe because cannabis should be in our diet.

Most other drugs, legal or illegal, work by mimicing naturally occurring substances in our body or by blocking certain receptors or biological processes. Cannabis does none of that. Our body, our brain is built to receive it.

I have.

It's kind of weird, because everyone complains about the "Reefer Madness" era of anti-weed propaganda, yet the pro-weed crowd seems totally OK with doing the exact same thing but reversed. Over the course of my lifetime I've seen the pro-weed message go from, "That old propaganda is lying, weed doesn't make you crazy," (true) to "Weed isn't *that* bad for you" (mostly true, depending on context) to "Weed is harmless" (false) to "Weed is good for you" (false) to "Weed cures cancer and epilepsy" (very false, what the fuck).

If I wanna be a GAMEFAQS CENSORED THIS WORD and hurt my self why should they stop me? this is supposed to be the land of the free.

Because the government (and, by extension, the rest of the taxpaying public) has a vested interest in keeping you healthy and productive. If you injure yourself because you didn't wear a seatbelt, you will take up hospital resources that could have been spent on someone who wasn't being a moron and, depending on what your health insurance situation is, the taxpayers may wind up footing the bill for treatment. And for the whole time you're recovering (which may be the rest of your life if you really screw yourself up) you aren't contributing to society yourself via working and paying taxes. That sort of a situation isn't one that any society should be encouraging.

CaptainStrong posted...

and isnt the shit being mostly safe actually a reason for it to be legal?

In and of itself? No. Hence why driving without seatbelts is illegal, while other activities that have much, much higher risks of injury - like something as simple as professional football - are completely legal. Just saying "it's mostly safe" and not building on that isn't a valid reason for legalizing something.

Now if you say, "It has benefits x, y, z, which are worth having access to, and it's mostly safe" then you've got an argument... *if* it's actually safe. And that's been my point all along - we should have a better understanding of that before we start talking about whether to legalize (though I'm all in favour of decriminalization - imprisoning people and giving them permanent records over an activity that is, at absolute worst, nothing more than self-destructive is ridiculous).

But that wasn't what you were arguing. You weren't arguing "Weed is safe", you were arguing "alcohol is more dangerous", which is a) A separate discussion and b) Completely irrelevant to whether or not weed should be legal.

The American government doesn't give a flying fuck about keeping me healthy. If they did, they would've implemented universal healthcare decades ago like every other first world country. All they give a fuck about is the corporations and super rich. And the impact someone getting hurt a little more in a car crash would have on the government is negligible. How many tax dollars would the government even lose because of it? There's no way in hell it's more than a drop in the ocean compared to the tax dollars they lose because of the tax evading rich assholes. And I don't encourage it, I just think that if people wanna be stupid and not wear a seat belt, they should be allowed to.

You want more arguments than it's mostly safe? Okay.
#1 Tons of medical benefits.
#2 Extra tax dollars and all the good that can come from it.
#3 You don't have to worry about weed being laced with other shit and if someone does fuck you over, you can take them to court.
#4 Less people in prison and less lives ruined (And don't you care about people contributing to society by working and paying taxes? How can they do so when they're in prison for getting caught with weed too many times?)
#5 Personal freedom.
#6 Hurts the drug cartels

How is it completely irrelevant? They're both common recreational drugs. Alcohol can kill you in a single night if you drink too much. You can't die directly from smoking too much weed. If a very dangerous drug like alcohol is legal, why should a pretty safe drug like weed be illegal? It's a stupid double standard.

kangolcone posted...

We live in a society that allows self-harm within reason. Simply because something is not good for you is not a reason to keep it illegal.

If the only point a person is making is that marijuana can be harmful and therefore should be illegal, I see no harm in pointing out the societally sanctioned substances which are also damaging.

If the user I was posting to had made a secondary point, I would have addressed that as well. But they didnt. They said its harmful. Which is true about many many things.

This post wins the topic

1. Questionable. Again, proper peer-reviewed study on the health effects of weed - for good and for ill - are in short supply right now. Most of the purported benefits are anecdotal. It does have recognized uses (treating pain and stimulating appetite in chemotherapy patients, for instance) but it's not a coincidence that most of the people using medical marijuana are using it for nebulous, impossible-to-prove conditions like "chronic pain" (not saying all of those people are faking it just so they can smoke up, but a significant proportion of them are).
2. That depends on how you tax it and even then the tax value is often grossly exaggerated. People kind of assume that as soon as you legalize it all of the enforcement dollars go away... yet you'll still need people watching for bootleggers, the same as with alcohol, or monitoring to make sure the weed being sold is up to legal standards, like with any other sold consumable. That said, there will very likely be a tax benefit, it's just questionable as to how much. That said, this is a valid point, if oft overstated.
3. A valid point.
4. Technically this could be solved with decriminalization, which I wholeheartedly support, but this is a valid point in favour of not keeping it as a criminal offence.
5. A valid point.
6. Unlikely - in areas where weed has been made legal, the drug cartels typically just switch to something else, like cocaine or gun-running or sex trafficking.

See? You've proved my point - if you ditch the "it's safer than alcohol" non-argument, you can make some much stronger and better supported arguments in favour of legalization.

CaptainStrong posted...

How is it completely irrelevant? They're both common recreational drugs.

And?

Again, talking about how dangerous alcohol is is a talking point about alcohol. Not weed. Saying "alcohol can kill you in a single night" is a great supporting argument if your central point is, "We need to ban alcohol"; it's completely useless as an argument for anything to do with weed.

It would be like me saying, "Playing football can result in concussions and brain damage, therefore weed should be legal" - the conclusion is not supported by the premise.

CaptainStrong posted...

If a very dangerous drug like alcohol is legal, why should a pretty safe drug like weed be illegal? It's a stupid double standard.

Because our standard for whether or not "Drug X" is legal is not solely determined by how safe they are. Else drugs like oxycodone and vicodin would be illegal, while LSD would be legal.
