Poop What is Chiefsplanet's take on marijuana? - Page 4

KCChiefsMan · 03-06-2010, 07:01 PM

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?

poll coming

Riiiiight...

I'm just saying when it comes to weed, people take a pretty harsh stance like it's the devil or something when they have no frame of reference.

I also don't think alcohol should be legal, by the way. Mind-altering substances are negative in the whole.

Agreed.

They're mostly too drunk to think clearly.

Ehhhh, disagree. Without mind-altering substances we wouldn't have all this great music to listen to.

Alcohol is a much more dangerous and destructive substance.

So: anyone who hasn't tried it OR anyone who *has* tried it but didn't have a similar experience to yours -- pretty much out of luck on having an opinion on it, eh?...

First part, Yes. lol, Second part... I can only judge MY experiences. Maybe I just know too many awesome, intelligent, and creative people who partake in it and I'm jaded? Everyone can and will have an opinion on it, it's just my opinion that not everyone should.

Should be legal and people should be responsible for how they handle it. It's really not my thing, but I don't care much if others do it. Although, as a sort of contradiction on my part, I have a lot less respect for people who are dependent on that sort of thing. (Keep in mind, I actually think less of people who are addicted to caffeine, too.)
