What is Chiefsplanet's take on marijuana?

[KCChiefsMan]

This is purely out of curiosity. I'm just wandering what the majority here think about marijuana.

Do you think it's good or bad for adults to smoke it?

Do you think it's harmful in our society?

Do you think it should be illegal?

If you think it should be kept illegal, what are your reasons for that?

What reasons do you think it is currently illegal for?

So then I guess I made a great decision to stop smoking pot.

Some people who have anxiety smoke pot to help deal with it. IMO paranoia doesn't come from pot it comes from the stigmas that accompany it since it is illegal.

True story. When my high school history class went to France, we got into some spiked chocolate (but we didn't know it). The little angel of the group, reader at church, stuff like that, had one chocolate and was trashed. It was hilarious. Nothing drastic, but very memorable.

The only ones concerned with legalizing marijuana are the potheads in the first place. They keep banging that drum and they keep wasting their time.

I suppose I can say everybody who opposes legalization are close minded conservative dickbags who also oppose stem cell research and civil rights. Since we are making generalizations and all.

On a more serious note, not everybody who smokes pot is a "pothead". I will smoke every once in a while and I am most definitely not a "pothead." Do I think it should be legalized? Sure, I would like to have the choice to smoke if I so choose. Everybody should have that choice. It's not like its a drug like cocaine or meth where it ruins lives. If you don't like marijuana that's fine but that should be your own personal choice. Why should I not be allowed to do it if it's not harmful to myself or society? Sure it can possibly be harmful if somebody is under the influence while driving but that's no different from alcohol. Seems to me the side effects are much less than those of alcohol. So why is alcohol legal and marijuana isn't? Doesn't really make sense to me.

That makes absolutely no sense.

That's like saying alcohol is fine as long as you don't have a job of severe importance. "I would not want my doctor or the pilot of the plane i'm on to be drunk..."

Should it not be treated the same as alcohol? Alcohol is legal to use but it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence and it is illegal to be drunk and disorderly in public. Sure it would be wrong for a pilot to be high while he is flying, no different than it would be wrong if he was drunk.
