Drugs and alcohol

[Saul Good]

Would you support the legalization of weed if it meant making alcohol illegal?

[Dayze]

sure, why not. as long as drug tests were illegal too.

Sure, it's easier to brew your own beer and Rum

not to get completely DC/off-track, but the fact that weed is illegal is retarded.

and I haven't smoked in probably 20 years.

where is the abstain from both option? :bolt:

[BigMeatballDave]

Having done both, alcohol is far more dangerous when abused.

I voted no. I'm not a fan of either, but the smell of marijuana makes me nauseous. If people are drinking alcohol it doesn't impact me unless they kill me with their car. If people are smoking marijuana it pervades the air around them and makes me sick. And I live in Denver, so I know what I'm talking about.

That's a pretty big "unless".

I think it's interesting that the poll is split exactly down the middle, btw.

Next poll idea:

Would you allow the gubbment to ban knives if they back off Gun Control?

[Rain Man]

Yeah, I wouldn't want that to happen.

It's a classic case of having two scenarios: something really bad that's really rare, or something that's slightly bad that's common. In my case, I think the more common thing has a bigger lifestyle impact when you play the odds.

I've noticed one problem is that there is this perception that people who smoke weed are under the influence of it 24/7 and never stop smoking. It's like saying everyone who has a beer is drunk 24/7, except nobody really assumes that. Most people enjoy a drink once and a while yet it is assumed they are not an alcoholic. Anyone who smokes weed, no matter the frequency, is assumed to be a 24/7 burn out.

Voted no, but there is no good reason for weed to be illegal.

I still have no clue why they don't legalize it. The tax revenue alone would pull us out of debt in a remarkably short time.

[Ace Gunner]

obviously, alcohol is far more dangerous drug to societies.

I would firmly support a prohibition ban :D

I would also support transferring those 60% of drug war prisoners in american prisons into medically staffed nut houses equipped to handle and rehabilitate them -- and for far less a burden to our tax system.

[ThaVirus]

I drink too often to be ok with that trade..

But I do recognize the fact that alcohol is basically poison and much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much more dangerous (to you and everyone else) when abused.

[Molitoth]

Weed takes a few hits to get a head change, and typically a joint costs about $5 that you can share with a group of people.

It takes about 6 beers to get me buzzed, and then I'm bloated and I wake up with a headache the next day. 6 beers at a restaurant or bar is about $25+.

[DaFace]

Oohh...that's a tough one. I'd say yes simply because I'm 100% sure that it's the less harmful of the two drugs in terms of impact on personal health and societal health both.

However, it's really not realistic to think that alcohol will ever be illegal in this country again. There's way too much money tied up in it to think you could actually shut it down. Not to mention the fact that prohibition of either of them is useless.

[Nzoner]

If you're getting the RIGHT weed, it only takes ONE hit to get a head change. ;)

A person that only smokes by themselves, on occasion, smoking the good stuff, could literally make $50 worth last WEEKS.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident it's only a matter of time at this point.

I think most of the perception stems from the fact that it IS illegal. Since that's the case, people who are trying to get ahead in life keep it covert, while those who are more of the "burn out" types don't care and, thus, are more visible.

As it becomes more commonly accepted, I think the perception will slowly change.

Basically half my family are functioning stoners. It's never been my thing, but I don't demonize it. I'm for legalization 100%. Take money from the dealers and cartels and help out our national debt...it only makes sense.

So many people hate this 'drug' without ever having tried it or done any actual research on it. Sure, people can abuse it...just like anything. Obesity is our country's biggest issue right now, but we're not banning cholesterol.

There is a reason that any pot dealer you encounter doesn't want this thing legalized. These guys are illegally making money hand over fist off of the shit. People are dying in mass numbers every day in Mexico because of it. Legalize it, tax it, and treat it with the same laws as alcohol.

It also bothers me when people pull the 'drugs destroy families' card when it comes to pot. The only way pot destroys your family is if the individual(s) using it don't have their priorities straight. They, like I said before, abuse it...lose motivation and become content. My dad has smoked grass for as long as I can remember. I knew from an early age that it was illegal, but I never understood why. He didn't abuse it, he didn't become mean when he was on it (like he did when he drank) and he wasn't hurting anyone. My mom doesn't smoke, but they got along fine and still do. You could easily say that he was setting a bad example for his kids, but I don't smoke today either...and if that did pop into your head, do you drink in front of your kids? Because it's the same damn thing.

The bottom line is that if you drink, don't hate on pot. It's virtually the same concept. One directly kills people in mass numbers though, and it ain't the trees.

[bevischief]

Make it legal and tax it. There is so many uses for it, it is not funny. Between the tax benefit and the releasing of the people in prison for it would free up a lot money. Just apply the same laws as cigarettes for smoking it in public and apply

The prison release thing is a whole different animal. You can't just release guys that went in 10 years ago on a pot bust and have since become institutionalized criminals. It's sad, but a large portion of those who go through the penal system come out far worse than when they went in. It dehumanizes people, puts you into a routine, and, in some cases, turns people into killers.

That is up to the parole broad to make that decision. My family has been in law enforcement for about the last 40 years. With over 27 years in the Bureau of prisons. I have had a personal tour of the federal prison in Leavenworth, KS by my dad. I know all about institutionalized inmates.

[oldman]

Having survived the '60s and early '70s and having a pretty good life, I support legalizing pot. Like someone said earlier, legalize it, regulate it's quality, and tax it. It won't drive the cartels completely out of business, but it'll put a dent in their net worth. As for making liquor illegal, nope. I think we've tried that once before and it didn't work, it just spawned the early cartels, aka Organized Crime.
With any mind/mood altering substance, you have to know your limits. It doesn't matter if it's grass, beer, or Zoloft.

I tend to look at it this way:

Pot smokers aren't losers but I know a lot of losers that smoke pot.

People that don't have their shit straight do all kinds of stupid things and a great many of them haven't ever smoked pot. Pot didn't cause them to be wastoids, they were that way to being with.

Yeah, I get that urge VERY infrequently. I like to be in control, or at least feel like it; and when I get to the point where I know I'm twisted, it loses its appeal to me. Not to mention the bullshit ass hangover the next day. The headache and lethargic feeling is enough to make me cap myself at 5 or 6 drinks.

Also, I'm a pretty mellow guy (surprisingly even more mellow when drunk), but I can't be responsible for my actions after I've reached a certain point. When I've had too many I'll start saying everything that comes to my mind and dealing with the fallout (especially with women) the next day just isn't worth it..

Alcohol really is a great social lubricant. It's the idiots that don't know when to stop that ruin it for everyone.

I know. I drink socially on occasion. Last time I drank alcohol was new years, and before that... I honestly couldn't tell you.

Just my preference. I'd rather chill with friends with some weed than alcohol.

[htismaqe]

Yeah, I get that urge VERY infrequently. I like to be in control, or at least feel like it;

See, that's the rub for me.

With alcohol, completely altering perception and being "out of control" are inseparable. The amount of alcohol it takes for me to be "in another world" is also the amount of alcohol that has me dancing in public fountains, not remembering a thing I did, and feeling like shit the next morning.

With marijuana, being "out of control" isn't even part of the picture. I can completely step off into the 12th dimension and not have to worry about doing something stupid that I don't remember the next day. Even when I'm talking to Jesus, I'm still in complete control.

Yeah, I feel what you're saying. That's one of the reasons I wish I was a smoker as opposed to a drinker.

The problem for me is that I get paranoid and legitimately think I'm going to die when I smoke. Everything slows down, I can hear/feel my heartbeat (which is usually beating wayyy faster than it should) and get really scared. That and the fact that I get probably the worst cotton mouth imaginable pretty much ruins the high for me.

[Dayze]

I've even had the option to smooke over the years. Maybe have taken a puff or two once in a very very blue moon.

even if i was legal, I'm not even sure I'd smoke all that often, if at all.

hmmm. Interesting - I wonder if it would effect me.

[houstonwhodat]

not to get completely DC/off-track, but the fact that weed is illegal is retarded.

and I haven't smoked in probably 20 years.


This is why I'm moving to Colorado ASAP.

[houstonwhodat]

I got my dog high once and she peed on the couch.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I quit smoking pot a while back, and I consume more alcohol than I ever have. That said if only one can be legal, weed is the easy winner. Alcohol does so much more harm than good, and weed doesn't do any real harm at all besides robbing some of it's users of their motivation and ambition.

Seattle is better, and their law is better too for the common smoker. Money is better up there as well.

OK either or.

I like the mountains though, seems like it is always raining in Seattle.

There's mountains in Seattle. And a lot less snow...

Yeah I get the same thing in addition to just sitting somewhere indefinitely just looking at shit. It just isnt fun for me at all. I don't drink often anymore, probably twice a month and its jus5 a more fun, free feeling. If you just have enough to get you buzzed thats all you really need. I only get hung over if I just go get plowed. Even if I have 7 or 8 I still fe3l perfectly fine the next day.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Neither should be illegal IMO

It's not for everyone.

I remember this dude used throw up every time he got high. He tried to get used to it, but could not.

A few years later, he started smoking meth.

Go figure. :)

Definitely not for pussies. :p

I had a roommate who would get dizzy all the time.

So I made him listen to "Billy the Mountain" once - he puked all over our neighbor. ROFL

I'm curious about the motivation behind this poll. It seems like a strange question.

This.

Even once legal employers will frown upon either one being in your system...

Depends on the employer and your position.

The more menial the job and the lower you are on the totem pole, the more it matters.

I'm curious about the motivation behind this poll. It seems like a strange question.

Someone made a post in another thread about legalizing weed because it's safer than alcohol, so I thought it would be interesting to see where people stood if it were an either/or situation. Frankly, I'm stunned that this many people sided with weed.

[htismaqe]

Military?

Law enforcement?

FBI?

CIA?...

I know quite a few guys in law enforcement that aren't regularly drug tested.

The other 3 are government jobs, I'm talking about common folk.

EDIT: And I guarantee you that as you advance in the ranks of the CIA or FBI, the "tolerance" goes WAY up.

The more power you gain the less you're subjected to anything.

Not in all cases, but most, the more physical labor you do the less you get paid...

[htismaqe]

The more power you gain the less you're subjected to anything.

That was my point.

The reality is, unless your job involves your own safety (like in a manufacturing setting where they have OSHA regulations) or someone else's (your example of an air traffic controller), you're not getting drug tested unless you do something REALLY stupid.

A lot of companies just don't mess with it anymore, except for perhaps at the date of initial hire.
