I am just shocked by how this thread turned out.

Shocked, i tell you.

I wish I'd placed a bet on it.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't. But the numbers were so generous, it's like the horse had a stroke before it left the post.And is now foaming at the mouth and running in a circle on the ground, much like a certain stooge.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Truly, I thought it would take a month or two, and just look at how good ive been.

But, like the man said:

FUCK Versailles!

[AFK]

Oh.  Well, then.

Am I wrong?  Do you see how legalization is going to result in all kinds of new laws?

[LMNO]

Hm?




Oh, I stopped.  Clearly, this was a meaningless and moot discussion.  Just as you said. 




So, I stopped.

[AFK]

Okay so NOW we are being literal?


Okay then.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

So it's a rather meaningless and moot discussion.

So it's a rather meaningless and moot discussion.

I'd just like to point out, as this discussion is useless, that adding "rather" to the above sentemce is redundant. It's like using semi colons when you don't need to; it just makes you feel like you appear more better.

Okay then.

Remind me when I (LMNO) was not being literal?

[Reginald Ret]

I feel bad now. I let myself get baited. Again.

This pedantic discussion around how not repealing a law is adding laws.  No.  Me not supporting legalization isn't proposing new law, it is proposing that we not change a law that already exists.  period.  It literally creates no new law. 


BUT, legalization will REQUIRE additional laws to regulate it in the public sphere.  To regulate youth access, and so on.

Because there hasn't been a single new marijuana law since 1933.

And the "real potheads" part doesn't even make sense. It's like saying that the "real wine connoisseurs have moved on to vodka".

Nonsense. Real wine connoisseurs have moved on to port. It's classier.

Anyway, I'm fairly sure there's a bunch of UK studies showing "legal highs" (mainly marijuana look/"feel"alkies) are almost universally worse than the actual drug.

Once again, because, drug thread:

See you in 30 pages, have fun.

Heroin is misclassified.  If it is pure and of known potency it doesn't cause all that much physical harm.

Most of the damage associated with use have been from from impurities rather than the drugs themselves.

1.  Link?

2.  Does it matter?  Turns people into cannibal zombies.  CANNIBAL ZOMBIES.  Doesn't matter HOW it happens.

The Miami Zombie had synthetic weed in his system and did not have "bath salts" in his system,  that's something that for some reason didn't get a lot of media play.
