I'm completely in favor of medical marijuana. But I'm not sure I'm in favor of recreational marijuana. Decriminalizing to a certain extent yes because I don't think people should go to prison for smoking marijuana or even growing it or selling. But making it completely legal? I don't think I'm in favor of that.

Two questions.

One, why? Two, do you think alcohol should remain legal?

Re: Unpopular opinions

I think there is evidence that can cause brain damage even with small but regular use. I also think not nearly enough research has been done yet for complete legalization to be safe.

I think there actually should be more regulations on alcohol. The way we do it now in the US is not really working. But at least we've done research and know the effects of alcohol. At least there are laws in place for when people get drunk and hurt other people (not necessarily perfect laws, but they are there).

I'm not saying that legalization at some point in the future would be bad. I just don't think we're there yet. We need to know more. And we need to lay the groundwork with laws in place to control things.

What laws are you thinking of in particular, or what abuses do you think are not sufficiently guarded against?

There are already laws in place for that. I'm not sure why you think causing bodily harm to someone while high isn't something they would prosecute if marijuana was a legal substance. There would just wouldn't be an illegal substance charge too. Plus, every place that I know that has made it legal (in whichever form) has put a ton more laws in place dealing with the production, sale, and use.

Here's part of one of the statutes that deals with driving in Arizona, where medical marijuana is legal:
28-1381. Driving or actual physical control while under the influence; trial by jury; presumptions; admissible evidence; sentencing; classification
A. It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances:
1. While under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree.
3. While there is any drug defined in section 13-3401 or its metabolite in the person's body.
B. It is not a defense to a charge of a violation of subsection A, paragraph 1 of this section that the person is or has been entitled to use the drug under the laws of this state.

I honestly don't understand why people compare marijuana to alcohol, especially in this way. As if there aren't enough DUI's on the street already, adding another mind altering drug to the list is just adding another needle to the haystack.
People get high, and people will get higher when there's more opportunity to do so. Legalizing pot is just removing a layer to those who will use it recklessly anyways. Medical is fine, when done right. But above board there are people who drink, people who smoke, and those who do both. And making it legal will only up the casualties because it will be a lot less hard to find.
Laws are there because people will break them, and making them easier to break isn't the best idea.

How come?

Re: Unpopular opinions

(Anonymous) 2019-07-06 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate stoners. I hate the drug itself. I hate everything to do with it.

I'm 100% for a legalisation. First of all, being able to get it legally would cut down on it being a gateway drug for a lot of people (in terms of reducing contact to dealers). Decriminalization is also important - As long as alcohol is legal, a drug that's not more harmful to most users shouldn't be a reason to go to jail over it. Then there's the issue of illegal marijuana getting cut with all sorts of shit.
There need to be rules of course, like not driving under the influence etc. But in my opinion, the pros of a legalisation outweigh the cons.

Re: Unpopular opinions

(Anonymous) 2019-07-06 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I talked more above, but I'd be okay with eventual legalization. But the need for rules is my exact issue. I think more time and planning is needed. And I haven't seen that happen in places that have legalized so far.

Re: Unpopular opinions

(Anonymous) 2019-07-06 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I know how harmful it can be. I've seen it first hand. But I still believe it may have been less harmful if there had been legal ways to obtain a fairly clean product. I do agree that there has to be more research though.

What pot dealers do you know that are pushing heroin? The gateway thing is straight out of high school health class. Fungal spores and rat pee are probably the worst things you'll find in pot that's grown illegally. As for it being cut with other drugs, nobody's giving you free drugs. They will charge you for that.

Lmao.

NAYRT, but I know illegal growers in California (so probably elsewhere too) were using all kinds of banned pesticides, so there may also be even more gnarly than usual pesticide residue on/in illegal weed. My parents didn’t use pesticides on theirs, but then, they were old hippies.

Re: Unpopular opinions

(Anonymous) 2019-07-07 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly you're right, but that doesn't mean that you aren't wrong.
Then again I knew a lot of dealers who's stuff was coated, meaning common chemicals and the such. It's just a thing that happens aside from the rat piss, and fungus. It'd give a different effect for those who didn't know what they were looking for (those who could be sold a joint at a dime's price) and also certain pesticides are used to keep the crop from being eaten, (much like gardening) especially in climates weed won't naturally grow. Some are purposeful, some aren't, but all are added without the buyers knowledge. They aren't about to add anything worthwhile, or serious like heroin and the likes, but that doesn't mean that it isn't contaminated.

Not every place is murrica and "homegrown" isn't the default everywhere, since like every plant, if has certain conditions to grow. And I know several people who went from pot to other, more harmful drugs through the same dealers. Just because you don't have the same experiences doesn't mean it doesn't exist and it's laughably naive to believe that.
And nobody said anything about it being cut with other drugs. Maybe smoke less pot if your reading comprehension is already suffering this much.

Smoking is a gateway drugs, not weed, that would be the next step. I'd say that liquor is more harmful in the way that it is more legal of the two. Most people think less of it, think that it isn't a drug (same with cigarettes) because it is legal. Weed is only different because the tolerance involved is thought of being less because 'just having one' is still considered an offence. Alcohol used to be the same, but with association comes regularity, and doing something again and again makes it seem like less. So more drugs becoming more available to the public makes me disagree with you, no matter what the form of them are. Kids will smoke, 'stoners' will use drugs, and everybody drinks.

Why? Pot smokers are a hell of a lot nicer to be around than drinkers.

I have a condition where a random strain could kill me/fry my brain. I think if pot is legal all over then it needs to have all over laws about the strains and what it could cause ect. It it is too simple to go 'ok this is legal now'.

Then we need to have laws about how much you ave ingest or smoke ect before driving/operating certain machines just like with booze. We should not just flip a switch

Living in Colorado this kind of thinking seems so weird. Legalized marijuana hasn't changed our day to day much. It's kind of crazy that we took so long to legalize it. I would say, it's better to transition from medical marijuana legalization before complete decriminalization. That reversed many people's views of marijuana use as something for slackers only. It also opened up a good conversation starter for kids to talk to their parents about why people use marijuana. Seriously, I would rather marijuana be legal rather alcohol.

I agree tbh. There's evidence that shows that it DOES cause actual brain damage, with an especially high risk to younger people. There's also evidence to show that it can cause very bad reactions for people with certain mental health issues. In the face of that, I simply don't see any good reasons why it should be legal.

Do you think that alcohol should be legal?

Re: Unpopular opinions

(Anonymous) 2019-07-07 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Alcohol doesn't fuck people up the same way marijuana can. My friend tried some once for the first time and had a really, really bad reaction to it that gave her panic attacks for hours until it wore off.

I personally don't see the point of/appeal in mind-altering substances in general, but at least with alcohol it's possible to consume it without any mind-altering effect so I'm okay with it being legal.

I agree, me and my friends have had bad experiences in the past with weed, and I don't think giving it the A-OK is a good idea.
