Marijuana - Page 8

It's really silly too. Marijuana could be a taxed industry. I smoke weed regularly and I have since my junior year in high school. It did not effect my grades and I applied to one college, the one of my choice, and was accepted. I graduated cum laude. The perception of marijuana and the people who use it always amazes me. It's terribly false. There were a few kids in my class who drank like fish almost every night of the week. They could have easily died from alcohol poisoning one of those times. My sophmore year, a kid in my class had to go to the hospital to get his stomach pumped, and he was not kicked out of school. Yet every time I lit up at school I was risking my whole career there that I had worked hard for, even though I was at less risk to myself and to others compared to the alcoholics in my class. To the millions of people who don't smoke weed, never have, or don't understand it, I'm an oxy-moron.

I smoked every day I was at college and graduated with a 3.8 and a degree. Marijuana helped I would say.

Doesn't surprise me for a second.

Looks like the votes support legalizing marijuana. Hevusa brought up a good point about how much money the goverment can make by taxing marijuana. haha could this also create more jobs??? I'm sure that raised a bunch of eyebrows.

That just means you worked hard, not that the weed actually helped you. Maybe the weed contributed in your mass paranoia about the U.S. government.

It does mean I worked hard, but it also means marijuana did not detract. Smoking weed makes having to work on a big paper a lot more enjoyable... of course you have to spell/grammer check again in the morning

My "concerns" (better word selection I would say) about the U.S. government probably stem from having lived within a 45 minute drive to the white house 90% of my life (is a guess). But you can never rule out the grass I guess (where are my keys again?).

HAHA, you got some snickers out of me, that was pretty funny. I have never smoked weed before so I have no idea what happens to you when your high.

More importantly, it also means the weed did not detriment him either.

Damn right. It's nothing more than a lot of people believing old fairy tales about marijuana. The truth is so much different.

RidinHighSpeeds · 07-18-2005, 07:12 PM

You know what...after this long debate, I think I have changed my vote to support legalizing marijuana. haha hevs tax idea was a great idea, someone else pointed out you can't OD on marijuana, and the point that alcohol can kill you and probably is more worse than marijuana. I have never tried marijuana, but I think I would support legalizing it.
