So pointless. Alcohol is deadlier and is still legal.
Ugh.
Ignore Cenere, she is one of those pot smokers who's so in love with cured plant matter that she'll go on the defensive at anyone saying that they don't do pot. Nice way to prove pot isn't addictive or harmful, btw.

Nice try though.
God will you just stay the fuck away? Do you have nothing better to do than make myriad accounts and troll in the same boring manner constantly?
i just don't see how it's ignorant to simply not care about something that doesn't affect you. it's not as if one person is really capable of caring about ALL OF THE SOCIAL INJUSTICES.
I said it's ignorant to not care about something just because it doesn't affect you. Which is what she's communicating to me.
To me there's a difference, maybe I'm not communicating that properly.

I have no use for it and I ain't gonna touch it either way. This reeks of ignorance. how so? she's just saying she doesn't care because it doesn't affect her. there is nothing ignorant about that. But that is ignorant. Just because something doesn't directly affect you doesn't mean you shouldn't have an opinion on it, or care about it. And it does affect her, indirectly, but it still does. Which is another reason why I found it ignorant. That's like someone saying, "I don't give a shit about cancer because I don't have it, and no one else in my family does." Or "I don't give a shit about abused children, because I'm not abused and no one else in my family is." All wicked different things... And not EVERYONE has to have an opinion on EVERYTHING. I don't do weed, never have, never will. Why should I give a bleeding fudge about the damn stupid thing? Legalization will earn a golf clap from me. So...something that I don't do, have no contact with, don't give two merdes about, affects me? You are dumb. I really have no idea why we're arguing about that statement I made. It's as dumb as arguing about whether Moe or Curly is the better Stooge.

I didn't say you had to have an opinion on everything, I said just because something doesn't affect you doesn't meant that you shouldn't have an opinion on it. I don't have an opinion on a lot of things, but I certainly don't use the "Well it doesn't affect me, so I don't give a shit" card. Legalization of weed has a LOT more to do that with allowing people to smoke it, and the fact that you can't recognize that is ignorant. Again, just because you don't use weed, doesn't mean you shouldn't care about it's role in society. Especially since it's such a huge topic. At the very least you could be against it, even that would make more sense to me than to just not give a shit because you don't use it. As if you using it is the only way it'd affect your life at all.
You clearly don't understand anything about ripple/domino effects or connections through out society do you? Did you not comprehend the sentence in the OP that said "The amount of money and resources wasted on keeping it illegal.". Yup. Resources and money wasted, that could be spent on lots of things that are more important and likely do affect you in some way or another. Money and resources wasted on something that's pointless. Your tax money wasted on a pointless "war" instead of towards health care, or some other shit you Americans need money for.
That's like saying you don't give a fuck about America's war because you're not the one fighting. It still affects your life, even if indirectly.
It's because you made an ignorant statement and I called you out on it, and you decided to respond. See how that little interaction works?
And seriously, stop with the slipping French words into posts nonsense. It doesn't make you look smart, it just lets us know that you know how to use Google translate.
I agree but power and money are more important in this country.
This is not an argument. The government spends FAR more money fighting drugs than they would on potential taxes they could place upon the sale of marijuana.
I want marijuana to be legalized or decriminalized. I think the "war on drugs" is ridiculous (for marijuana anyway). It's an impossible battle to win, costs BILLIONS of dollars, and is fighting something that is pretty damn harmless.
I am pursuing a career in law enforcement and the only thing holding me back from applying with police agencies is the idea that I would basically have to stop associating with certain friends, or at least really limit my contact with them... just because they smoke or sell weed.
Personally, I don't smoke which is why I don't give a shit if it is taxed, but I don't want to have to lose friends because they use a harmless drug
