If bush hates saddam so damned much, why doesnt he himself goto war?
God damned hypocrites...
Because, he may have followers but he is still hated by society. Look at jeffery dahmer. He bitched about being put in the hole, so when he was sent to real prison he was killed.
Manson may have followers, but he is still a hated man. Therefore there is atleast 1 guy out there who will get him the first chance they get.
Charles Manson is an extremely intelligent man. He knows that if he ever left prison, he would be killed within 24 hours.
That is why he wants to, and that is why he DISERVES to stay in prison. He is probably treated with respect there, aswell.

Is kiddy porn illegal if the viewer is underage?
marijuana being natural wasnt my point. a person can smoke 1 joint in about 4 hours for a good buzz. but then, another person smokes about 8 cigarettes in 4 hours. Who is going to live longer?
And again, why blame marijuana for somebodys coke addiction. yes, they may have started smoking marijuana with a coke dealer. but it is that persons behavior and own responsibility to choose to either take the coke or not.
Poisons? Name them

So, why is weed, which has so far proven to have NO direct fatalities, NO addictive elements, and NO ill effects on people's behaviour illegal? The same can be said for LSD, MDMA, mushrooms - none are addictive, and none have detrimental effects.
And don't try the "Oh, one leads to the other" argument. I've smoked weed for five years, and haven't paused to think "Wait, I need something stronger." I've experimented with other drugs (except Heroin; no fucking way, thank you very much), yet don't dash around looking for a fix every time I crawl up the walls (besides, Coke didn't do much for me, and Ketamin is boring, and I sneeze the shit out in five minutes anyway).
If anything, shouldn't MORE people be encouraged to smoke a joint every once in a while, to chill the fuck out? Or how about a little mind expanding with some mushrooms. For both, you can function perfectly well, and think a lot clearer, yet drunken hicks call you "hippie" and try and kick your head in, although they can't make up their minds which one of the three they should be aiming at.
Weed does have detrimental effects. It contains seven times the amount of toxins and poisons that cigarettes do. How many people do you think died of lung cancer and had it blamed on weed? None, I'm sure, when big tobacco is soaking up most of the blame. Do a little bit of research before you spout stuff like this off. As for the effects on behavior, whether or not you can act fine under the influence of weed and whether or not everybody can are completely different things. Just because you don't know anybody who can't drive well when they're stoned doesn't mean that they don't exist. By that same token, just because the other drugs weren't your cup of tea doesn't mean that it doesn't affect other people either. You said yourself that you tried other stuff (except for heroin), and just because you didn't like it doesn't mean that there aren't other people who get exposed to it because they smoke weed.
Yes, most pot smokers don't move on. But basing your argument that none of them do on the basis that you didn't doesn't mean anything. Just because I'm not gay doesn't mean that you aren't, you know?
As for the other things, I hope to god that you aren't advocating people to drive on acid or mushrooms. That's a mistake with a big fucking capital "M." Once again, you might have been cool, but I myself have tried both acid and shrooms, and I was in no condition to drive. Now, using the same argument you did works for me, however, because my inability to drive while fucked up shows that not everybody can be a completely functional member of society under the influence of this stuff. Maybe weed/shrooms/acid helps you think clearer. But for many people, it doesn't, you dirty hippie :-P.
Sure, alcohol has a bad effect on your ability to drive and it's legal. But claiming that these drugs have no ill effect on your behavior is preposterous.
I'm sick and tired of this bullshit. People say that Marijuana contains more tar than cigarettes...Let me educate you
When you smoke THC, your lungs expand. They move farther apart and thus gives you more room to breath. Less tar gets through this way.
When you smoke Niccotine, your lungs do the exact opposite. They move closer, giving less space for the smoke to get through. This way your lungs are resinated full of tobacco smoke.
And once and for all, the marijuana LEAVES contains for tar than tobacco. But, you do not smoke the leaves. You smoke the buds, which if grown properly is 100% pure nature.
And as for your statement on how everybodys different, you're right. Everybody is different. Some will smoke weed and it might lead to other things, some might not. But, you're forgetting a key factor. Why blame a plant on a persons behavior? If somebody becomes addicted to coke, its not because he smoked marijuana. It's because he is so dependant on a drug he will lie, steal and pawn anything just to get that quick fix. Don't blame somebodys problems on an herb...
