Issue 3 (For Ohio Residents)
#41
(11-04-2015, 11:05 AM)Au165 Wrote: You point to your friend/acquaintance who has had his life "ruined" by Marijuana. Have you ever known anyone who is an alcoholic? How about someone who spends more money then they have to spend on scratch off lottery tickets? What about those big casino's we just built in Ohio, know anyone who messed up their lives in one of those? Caffeine is in fact a drug, but it is used by most our country every day including children but we don't seem care about that. Nicotine? Heck yea! It's everywhere. While we have pushed back against Tobacco in recent years it is still widely consumed even by *GASP*..... children!

The issue is, people with addictive personalities can become addicted to almost anything. Addiction in almost any form can ruin peoples lives in different ways. I am not in favor of protecting those with addictive personalities from themselves. If something doesn't create a chemical dependence (interestingly enough nicotine and caffeine do) then I am all for letting people do what they like. I don't smoke, never have, but I think the idea of Marijuana being illegal is a hypocritical way for people to try and take a moral high ground. 

- The "It's not addicting" argument is a moot point to me. I don't care if it's addicting or not. Other than medically, the purpose of it is to get F'd up (unless for medical purposes) and a line has to be drawn. Weed is the line for Ohioans. 

- I didn't say his life is ruined.

- My father was a "functioning" alcoholic. As was his mother, and his sister.

- I know people with gambling addictions.

- I know people who spend more money than they have on weed.

- The caffeine is a drug argument is classic and so funny! It's hilarious, really.

- NONE of your mentioned legalized activities impair people when used responsibly. NONE. You can go gamble and still be sober. You can smoke a cigarette and be sober. You can have a beer or two and be sober. You can drink a cup of coffee or soda and be sober. YOU CAN'T SMOKE WEED AND BE SOBER. Equating it to something like caffeine is ludicrous.
