Marijuana decriminalization bill gaining support in Congress

[Ran]

But you still didn't know for sure if they were underage or not.

I'll take my chances and bet I made a correct assumption.

End of story? I think not, the people that shape and reform the laws in this country as the people who stand up against them when they're ridiculous. Again, just because an authority figure says their word is "law" means it should be followed blindly, without consideration?

This law isn't rediculous. It's just the rediculous people that keep crying about their precious drug.

You still failed to verify where there was harm was done to any parties. Was there property damage involved? Did someone get hurt? Where is your proof that someone was doing harm? You sound like Ronald Regan.

They're exposing underaged kids to an illegal substance thus integrating them into a law-breaking situation. Yeah, no harm there.

What ifs are also how accepted social norms and beliefs, are brought into the public spotlight for closer analysis, and scrutiny. Is that not the point of something like philosophy?

Your previous "what if's" do not correspond with the examples you just provided. There are different types of "what if's"

Again, just because you assume there was no flaw in your judgment doesn't mean there isn't any.

This law isn't rediculous. It's just the rediculous people that keep crying about their precious drug.

How is it not rediculious? Nearly all "studies" that have "shown" cannabis to be addictive, have been unfounded, and improperly researched.

"Their precious drug"... You say that as if alcohol isn't equally, precious to an alcoholic. Again your showing psychoactive favoritism.

They're exposing underaged kids to an illegal substance thus integrating them into a law-breaking situation. Yeah, no harm there.

::rollseyes:: Because you were sooo acting out of social concern, and not vindictive prejudice. And you soooo took it upon yourself to bust people who were doing something you didn't agree with. Your justification as to whether or not they were underage is irrelevant without you knowing for sure. You still failed to verify who exactly was suffering injury or damage. Who was the victim here? Who was suffering? You know how often my Asian friends have been accused of "looking" underage?

Cut the crap, you know damn well you didn't call the police because you thought "harm" was being done.

Your previous "what if's" do not correspond with the examples you just provided. There are different types of "what if's"

The moon thing was a bit far fetched, I'll give you that. But since the laws making cannabis illegal were founded upon racial prejudice and not scientific fact, I'm gonna stick to that one.
