The federal government ensures banks at no cost. If money from the bank is stolen, the federal government returns the money to each desositor up to $100,000.

Christ. GIVE IT UP ALREADY! Let's just say that weed should be considered legal, whether you smoke it or not. We've all done something illegal at some point in our lives, but either way this is small stuff compared to murder or robbery. Who cares if marijuana becomes legal? If you don't like it then shut up about it. It's a drug obviously, but other than that don't most people take prescriptions? Those are considered drugs also yet they are legal. Marine, either way, whether you like it or not, shut up about it already. This is getting old. Shall we say that weed should just be legalized and get over the topic? There are certainly more important things in the world besides someone taking a hit. Give it up already.

explain how insurance works.

Of course not! But then again, you make it out to be like he murdered someone. At one point, marine16, you discussed different degrees of illegal actions. I believe this would apply here.

Do you have proof of this? Has bauhaus admitted in writing somewhere that he is a legal ingnoramus? I didn't think so.

And yes katailnacmnacaha89, I have broken the law before - as I have said in a previous post. But just because someone has broken the law does not mean they automtically want to make that unlawful deed legal.

at one time or another most people have broken the law, but the fact is that whether marijuana is legalized or not there will be people using it (probably not for health reasons) I don't see the point of comparing a bank robbery to the ILLEGAL use of marijuana, they are two different crimes and should be handled differently.

Marine, you sound like jamaica with your accusations. He knows what laws are. Are you going to tell me you've never broken a law? Saying that Bauhaus doesn't know the laws is a pointless argument.

By the way- I don't smoke pot and I never plan to.

Good 'ole Plato, though I don't really think this applies to everything.

there is no brain damage. The THC mearly coats the brain cells like every other legal drug you take. You dont have to smoke pot to get high, they can put it into food items.

actually the bank is the victim, it has money stolen.. do you even know how insurance works?

Because tobacco is so much more addictive, especially physically. And wait a second, is that someone that opposes legalization mentioning tobacco? Oh my goodness, according to marine16, bauhaus should be all over 'em in seconds!

I believe you meant "argument".

I can choose to go to a bank and say to the clerk "Give me all the money or this place goes to hell!" Similarly, I can choose to smoke marijuana. The difference is, I am involving other people in the bank situation, whereas I can choose whether or not to involve people while I smoke marijuana. Besides, you started ranting and raving towards the end of your post. It made little sense to me.

Big suprise freedomordeath, you still haven't made an arguement!!!!

If no one is hurt, robbing a bank is a victimless crime. So now you are saying there are different degrees are victimless crimes and only the onesyou guys take part in should be legal?

Smoking marijuana, for the most part, does not include other individuals. Robbing a bank does.

If nobody gets hurt, robbing a bank is a victomless crime, because the money is insured. Should we legalize bank robberies?

Bauhaus, if youa re trying to tell me the only reason people smoke pot is to get over their sickness, then you would have to be admitting that those people are terminally ill.

I think it should be decriminalized. I think its very stupid to send people to jail for a long time for a victimless crime. I think marijuana can be used to help with pain because its not an opiate, and opiates cause liver damage and are very addictive. Thats why people abuse pain killers. Like you said they have a THC pill, why cant we just stick to that? because its the same thing as smoking, vaporizing and eating weed. so there isnt any reason why we should keep people from using the natural plant. I'm sure that pill costs a lot more then it would be to harvest a plant. Just stick a seed in a ground 4months later you're set.

If the dude has cancer why would he be drinking his problems away its going to make things worse!

I know its very hard to understand because youve never been high or ate a pot brownie. I used to think the same way when I was 15 because DARE tricked me. I then realized that a lot of well known succesfull people smoked. Hell the most succesfull generation grew up around weed during the 60s 70s... OUR PARENTS they arent dead or doing bad at all. So I gave it a shot, I'm still alive and I have smoked a lot of pot. I dont do it anymore though, its something you grow out of.

I have never seen anyone getting in a fight off pot alone, maybe if pcp, cocaine, or alcohol were mixed with it.

I enjoy getting drunk off my ***.

See the reason why you believe the govt is because they DO NOT FUND drug research if its to find positive effects of the drug. They will only fund if its to make the drug look bad.
