Fortunately and unfortunately just as much so, 90% of the time this happens to those who are smoking weed that is laced unknowingly.
Darkember, you seem to have never driven while high or have been high yourself at all, but criticize as if you have. As someone who has driven high on multiple occasions, its not as big a deal as you are making it out to be. Being high does not make you retarded.
Driving drunk is not even allowed, so why the fucking do you think that smoking weed and driving will be allowed? people do it because people want to. Its not a matter of don't let high people drive they will just add on the the drunk deaths. We are talking about if it is safer than the alternatives, and it is, case and point.
You keep asking why would you encourage people to smoke weed.
Why do people encourage each other to drink, or even have a drink? did you think about that? i doubt it. "lets go out for a drink"
"Have another on the night is young"
and so on.
For the past few weeks, your argument has been the same with you reiterating it in a different way each time someone gives you a logical reason why it still makes no sense that weed is not legal.
Make a new argument or please, shut up.
This is what you keep repeating:
"People who smoke are retarded"
"smoke is bad for you"
"it will hurt the healthcare system/economy"
You know what this can be applied to? Anything.
"If there is a significantly increased risk of this happening while under the influence of a substance, I'd argue that that substance should be banned. You're right, people should have the right to choose what they do to themselves, but as soon as it becomes a significant risk to the safety of others, that's when the government should step in with legislation."
You know what this can be applied to? Anything
No one is sweeping cannabis accidents under the carpet because they rarely happen.
give someone 10 joints,
give someone else 10 cigarettes,
and someone else 10 bottles of alcohol.
and lets see who get cancer, or dies in a car crash first. Because I can just about guarantee you, that the guy who got high will be in the same place for the next 4 hours. Or at the park watching birds fly around.
at this point just seems you are being presumptuous, and it would be great if we could move the topic along and not keep turning around driving right back into the shit storm that this discussion has come to be.
Im tired of re reading the same bullshit 14 different ways. Talk about HOW it should be regulated or why it shouldn't be without saying shit that everyone has already heard 5 million times. We get you are against weed, cool. Talk how you'd regulate weed if it was legal, or what you would do to try and prevent it from being brought into the country. And if you do want it to be legalized, in what ways would you regulated it. At this point it seems that it will be legalized, so instead of shitting out of our mouths, lets all be productive and creative and make this thread interesting again and not a shit storm of people arguing about the dangers of something that is as dangerous as falling with a metal spoon, because no matter what happens people are going to smoke weed, drink, smoke, and whatever else until we are all dead anyway. This shit not a practice life, think about that.
Personally I wouldn't allow anyone under 20 to smoke weed, there would be designated public places to smoke it, as well as places to buy it, safely in set amounts per week. If you want to smoke while you drive you will need to apply for a tolerance test in which experience weed smokers will judge how high you can get and still operate efficiently, but that is still iffy tbh. If youre at home smoke as much as you want
haha i like the part you say regulate it when there has never been an O/D on weed in the history of it unless accompanied by another narcotic.
No reason for regulation unless it was getting into a illegal trade which they are attempting to counter act of course. so in this case the regulations are only in the eyes of the public for voting matter of it being "safe" when the "drug" itself is already safe and has been for as long as the earth has been around. Its proven by many different researchers that marijuana actually proactively makes you more cautious and less likely to radically drive.
I as well drive blitzed every day and tbh im 22 and if i didnt smoke weed i woulda been written off the road by now. ive been in 3 accidents, each time for anger. i hadnt smoked weed until a year after my second accident. and the 3rd i wasnt driving lol
Everyone knows you cant o/d on marijuana, you can on almost anything else even water. so whats that tell you? the grandmas of this world is what we are trying to please. they hear regulation and believe it will be a better street. when the street is already filled with what is considered now crime when someone deals a fucking gram in front of retired peoples homes. yes selling legally (fuck that regulation wording is all for media) would clean up your street grandma cause no one else going to be buying it infront of your door if its legalized. and if they regulate it then people are going to have to make more trips to get the product rather than them having as much as they can purchase and making a one trip. seems counter productive dont you think?
Regulation! Right get it for those oldies that think its gonna make you jump out your window reefer madness bullshit. but once we got the votes remove that pussy "feelings" shit cause its all about everyones opinions rather than what good it would do. And sure it could affect the younger generation but thats where the only regulation part should be played in the youth of lesser than 18-20 for world wide. underdeveloped minds dont need that shit yet. This isnt an opinion, just regulation is a "Yes parents ill get A+'s on my report card for a year if you buy me an xbox!"
Its a trade.
