We live in very different countries evidently. I have to go to some pretty seedy neighborhoods if I want weed here, which makes the "barrier to entry" relatively high. I'm all for selling it in pharmacies or even on the same level as cigarettes and alcohol. More people will try it, because they can get it legally, and that's fine.

Right. And this bill will make it harder to get weed. Right now, weed is for sale in every high school in America. How much easier could it get? State control of weed would kill the illegal trade.>> ^gwiz665:
No. If it's easier to get it, more will use it. Same with guns.
That doesn't mean we should prohibit either though. Pot is less harmful than guns, or hell, arguably even cigarettes, why are they legal while pot is not?
Arbitrary laws based on flawed morality. Bah humbug.

It's well known amongst demon worshipers?

See, you were just complaining about apostasy in another post today. And yet it sounds like you're sort of buying into some sort of weird, middle ages Malleus Maleficarum stuff here. Nowhere in the bible does it say that marijuana use is a sin. Am I wrong about that? Or is this something that god told you personally? To me, it sounds like you're just buying into the antiquated perception of mainstream society that says that marijuana use is "evil". So you're going to base your gospel (remember, you're the one who's preaching) on the words of Aleister Crowley now? All of a sudden Aleister Crowley is the last word on what's holy or unholy? Seems to me like he's the last person whose word you would want to take on the subject.

Oh, but you used the word "abuse" right? Drug "abuse" is sinful and Satanic? Well, isn't the abuse of anything sinful and satanic? So it's kind of a moot point right? Can't you just as easily abuse butter, or adrenaline or the bible?

Well what about the legitimate use of a drug? Is using aspirin sinful and satanic? It sounds to me like you're pretty much writing off the use of any marijuana ever. Well what about someone dying of leukemia who hasn't eaten in a week because they're so sick? I'd like to see you say to that person that they were worshiping demons for taking marijuana to help them eat. That the sick or the dying should not receive comfort because of something Aleister Crowley said.

It sounds to me like you're guilty of letting the devil convince you of something that God has yet to let us know about.

I won't even get into the whole "burning bush" thing since I know you prefer to take any bible verse that suits your purpose literally.

What you think about me has no bearing on my witness here. Even if no one believes me, at least they will have the information if they ever wake up. Satan is real, and anyone who doesn't know God has been utterly deceived by him. It's been well known amongst demon worshippers that marijuana opens you to spiritual realms controlled by Satan. Aliester crowley stated that very clearly in his book of the law. Drug abuse of any kind is sinful and satanic, and invites possession.

Shiny, it's comments like that that truly help illustrate the level of your ignorance.

Just say no to trolling.>> ^shinyblurry:

Marijuana has been used by witches and occultists to tap into satanic realms for centuries. It is spiritual poison and invites demonic posession. Just say no kids.

I didn't make an opinion about his comment one way or the other. I'm always impressed to see someone who's not tried pot specifically because it would be breaking the law.


Oh, to be clear, I have tried it like 3 times. Every time because friends offered. The first two times I felt no effect at all, and the 3rd just barely something. I'd try it again if offered, and I'd try it again if it was as easy to get as alcohol or cigarettes. Again, it's not really that I care that it's illegal, but being illegal tends to make it inconvenient and costly. I've also tried absinthe since it was legalized, but would never have cared enough to hunt it down on the black market a few years ago when it was illicit.

Personally, all my life I've stayed away from marijuana because it's illegal.

Wow, you are in the huge minority.

Well, I second what entr0py said. Huge minority is not really wrong per se; in fact--you are a freakin liberarian! So you know all about huge minority.

Whoops, I meant that as sarcasm/humor over the fact that libertarians are regarded lesser than perhaps they should be--and so are those who have not tried drugs. I meant to put in a -- -- but lost the translation.

Actually, it's already pretty easy to get. Easier than booze, I would argue.>> ^gwiz665:

No. If it's easier to get it, more will use it. Same with guns.
That doesn't mean we should prohibit either though.

I'm in an even larger one, I've stayed away from it because, although I have tried it, and it was REALLY good BC shit and I was baked, I came away feeling "Meh, that was a waste of an evening". Too much money, too little experience. I guess I just don't have any inner demons to unlock.

>> ^MarineGunrock:

Also, what fucking logic are people using when they claim that legalization will have a direct effect on consumption? If someone wants to smoke, they will, regardless of legality.

I stay away from it for legal reasons. And I plan on going to the Pot Store once it is legal.

So yeah. I'm proof that casual use will go up.


>> ^MaxWilder:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if casual use went up. But who the fuck cares?
