Do you support marijuana legalization?

[DinohScene]

1) my point, is not that you might not feel it. it's more like what comes out is bullcrap at best.
2) fine
If you're already depressed, don't think it helps as anti depression, but i'm not a doctor.. might be wrong, most anti depression meds i know also can cause depression.

I pick mary-jane over prozac any day.

I don't know if its prescribed for depression, but it is prescribed for anxiety and PTSD, which are both very related/can cause depression as well.
I'm not saying it lowers my depression in the long run, but I sure as hell aint depressed when toking up and I sleep much better too.

1. Proof me those creative aspects you wouldn't have when not smoking? never seen one of those except the lying down and dreaming, never seen any proof of being more able to put it to real work.

Formal things here are hard to study, however I don't think it is too radical a statement to note a lot of people do a bit better at things (be it creative or performance) if they can get outside their head as it were*, alcohol, various pills and potions, sleep deprivation, exercise... all being fairly well documented in the pursuit of such things over if not decades then centuries. If you can then induce such a thing chemically then yeah.

*learn the formal rules of a field and then learn when to break them, as well as all those times a field gets a radical new tweak because some outside had a go where those in it were railroaded.

At the same time have I been annoyed by baked people somehow actually managing to fail at strumming a guitar (even my usually less than musically adept self can manage that one) whilst thinking they were almost channelling the universe? Oh yeah.

LOL
Certainly is a fine line to walk. Been there and maybe looked at something I did the next day and it was complete shit.
The good news is that I still released those creative or whatever urges from my system, even if the end result is in the trash.
The other good news is, that next day surprise can sometimes turn out extremely well.

I actually have something of a rule to not do anything creative past midnight (assuming I am doing something like normal sleep pattern, right now... not so much).
If doing graphical stuff I make simple mistakes, even if almost nodding off in the chair allows me to go around the edge of something painting out a halo quite happily without doing the "bored now" thing.
When writing text... so many typos and odd phrasing of sentences. Sometimes it only serves as an outline. Though in any case fixing something up is often preferable to starting it in the first place.
When playing games. If doing some kind of complicated strategy then I start getting lazy and making mistakes, worse is that is usually when a game is getting good and there are lots of things to take care of in my (not so) little empire/army.

I have the same rule when it comes to repairing / modding stuff.. Working on things late night for me is bound to cause more issues and damage.

I'm totally for legalization, but here in Canada it's been legal everywhere for past 2 years. I've been smoking everyday for the past 25 years..

Hehe, I know EXACTLY what you mean. For me its Ark (right now), its a survival game so when I start dying every few minutes instead of hrs, I know its time for beddy-bye.

But but but the unnecessary risk you took that time (despite having to load the save 10 times to do it) meant that in game terms you really gained for comparatively little work.

True! Well in most games, yes. In Ark though, there is no 'restart from last save' (without manually restoring the save files aka cheating), so you have to go back to whatever killed you and/or last place you died, to get your stuff back. That's when intended dreams become nightmares if u run into an alpha creature.

Let's legalize everything, people know how to handle themselves in life and in society (?)

Not everything. Most people see something that was illegal and became legal as an endorsement of sorts.
BUT, lets make everything that should be legal, done so in due course by the democratic system, just like marijuana is doing now/has done.

yeah! great idea, knowing there's a mental institute around the corner of my house.
i mean who cares about rapists, pedophiles and (mass) murderes.
i'm sure it'll work itself out just fine.

I think he meant legalize all drugs and not necessarily all crime in general. I could be wrong though.

Still not a fan, i mean i've seen more then enough heroïn and ethanol addics.
It's not a pretty sight.
sure if it's temporary and it helps you with a mental condition...
not a fan of too much freedom

 

[Deleted member 397813]

yes, no clue why it's listed as tier one on the cda drug thing

 

[Soulsilve2010]

It really should be legal, alcohol and cigarettes which have been fully proven to increase cancer risk are legal and yet a plant that just makes you relaxed and hungry is treated like it's the same as Heron or Cocaine.

 

[Ricken]

I like how Bill Hicks puts it

But uh I 100% support legalization, of pot and many others. There's not enough research on everything to just deem it dangerous, yet schools are told to teach students "all drug bad don't do or get 20 cancer". It's sad to see

 

[Deleted User]

Just legalize all that junk to end the drug wars, but will it actually happen? No.

People are responsible so if they decide to take drugs, that's their decision.

 

[Alexander1970]

Do you support marijuana legalization?

NO.People are to dumb to use it reasonable and moderately.
Best example: More and more people get caught in vehicle controls they are stoned.
On highways there are more and more note signs not of "Don´t drink and drive" rather than "No drugs on driving".

Near 2 Years after the Thread was started,I will say YES.

It can't get any worse....

 

[Seliph]

It should absolutely be legal, I've been arrested 12 times at this point for offering joints to cops and it's quite disheartening
