Mari-tijuana Vending machine

[CptStern]

europe has beer vending machines ..are they broken into routinely by fix seeking alcoholics?

 

[Acepilotf14]

I saw it on the news. It says there are cops watching them at all times.
Won't help against a horde of high stoners.

I swear, before the commercial break it was all 'Up next, Marijuana vending machines!' And I went 'LOL, I must have heard wrong.'
I was wrong.

meh college students usually have crap ..the bikers have the best


like I said it may be possible but smoking 28grams of anything in a 24 period isnt a good idea

Apparently you've never been to a ultra-rich liberal arts school where mommy and daddy give each student a weed budget, the shit is usually bought straight from U.S. growers with greenhouse basements and such, these campuses have their own rules and government and police almost never bother. Weed is decriminalized on spoken campuses. At times I envy these students, as I live in a giant urban university campus where city police regularly make busts and kids get shot for going a few blocks off campus and buying it.

Because you know...stoners are violent people, not chill or relaxed at all. In fact that is why you see hordes of stoners doing horrible violent acts on the news all the time. It's a real problem. This is also why the stores that sold it in the first place are also raided. Every week I tell ya, those raving pot heads will stop at nothing.

I have nothing against stoners. I really don't care, in fact. I don't care whether you smoke drugs or not- just don't get me involved. Also, don't smoke if you have a family to care and support for, it's stupid.
The above message is assuming the above post was sarcastic.

would you say the same of people who drink and have a family? because there's probably a lot more people who do that than smoke pot ..how many people have been killed in alcohol related incidents? it's certainly much higher than "stoners" ...so why doesnt that rule apply to people who drink ..logically speaking that's the greater of two evils ..no?

Depends. Drinking in moderation is fine, but I hate heavy alcoholics. My Step-Dad is one, and I really detest him for that.
Really, people who smoke don't want to go out driving. They just want to sit on their couch, watch TV and and do nothing much.
People who drink, on the other hand, heavily, are likely at a bar or at a friend's house. They can't really think for themselves when in a high stage of drunkenness and thus won't really care if they drunk drive. That's how accidents happen.

You are very wrong. First, smoking would reduce the amount of domestic abuse. Smoking relieves stress and lowers testosterone rate. So I honestly don't see why it would be bad for a family. Marijuana is one of the safest drugs known to mankind. I don't see why it would be an issue around family. When your incredibly high you can still take care of your family. When your incredibly drunk your worthless to them.

As for stoners they are more capable of driving so crashes while driving under the influence would be reduced if people smokes instead of drank. Granted it should still be illegal but marijuana is safer than alcohol in pretty much every way. It only remains illegal because of societies negative views on it Why does alchohol and tobacco remain legal? Both are known to be incredibly harmful to health(death, cancer). They remain legal because that's what society accepts. I wish everyone would open their eyes and get educated because I am sick of intolerant people who are ignorant on the subject. I'm not saying you are, but too many people loathe it and the people who do it which causes more problems than the drug itself. Not to mention the side effects of marijuana being illegal are worse than the side effects of the drug itself. That's a real injustice.

Relieves stress, yes. The problem is that there's a little thing called addiction, and for people who are generally dumber and can't control it, Will try and get it to keep that constant high all the time. They will go to long lengths, and that's when they get in real trouble.
I think that it should be legal, not because I want everyone to be able to smoke all the time, but if you look back to when they banned drinking and saw how bad it got, and afterwards, when the people who want to drink can, it got a lot mellower, and there was less crime. Plus, If marijuana was legal, kids wouldn't be breaking the law, and that's not fun for the dumb ones. They want an edge to what they're doing, and that's fun for them. Suddenly, it loses it's fun.

That's absolutely false. The vast majority of research shows that marijuana has almost no addictive properties whatsoever - and that alcohol is more addictive than marijuana.

I agree with the rest of your post though.

I wouldn't say "absolutely false"

It's addicting in the same sense that anything else that you really enjoy or want is addicting. Such as playing an MMO, or eating sweets. You smoke marijuana, you love being high, you're going to continue wanting it because you like it. You'll probably do some stupid things to get it if you aren't smart enough. (And let's face it, most teenagers aren't too bright)

Addictive doesn't have to mean it has some chemical that your body can't live without. But ANYTHING can be 'addictive' if you really want it.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Such as, I am addicted to the porns.
But hey, who isn't?

Then it is safe to say that marijuana is safer than video games in that respect. If you can get addicted to video games the same way you can with pot, which I agree with as it's not a physical addiction but mental addiction in both cases, then you can make the assumption that pot would make as as violent as wanting to play video games you can't afford. Do we see kids holding up best buy to get their hands on the latest pimp my ride game? No we don't.

Lot's of people here seem misinformed so I suggest everyone read up and educate themselves on the erowid FAQ. It's short, simple and has sources for every claim.

I think you've established already that you're not really in a position to be making generalizations about "people who smoke" as you have no frame of reference. It's not just staring mindlessly at the TV from a comfortable spot on the couch, it's doing whatever you would have been doing already if you were not high.

Marijuana doesn't really produce hardcore addicts like this. There are people who smoke incessantly but they won't suck dick or murder somebody for weed if they can't find any... they'll just be annoyed.

So, medicinal marijuana is legal over there? Damn, can't believe you guys are already ahead of us - the land of the long white cloud.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Shut up Cheo... facepalming is the most nonconstructive way of telling someone that what they just said is completely wrong. And I disagree with you, anyway. Fag.
....
Marijuana isn't the worst drug, and it can be used correctly, it's just there are those people who do them to badly, and those are the few people who make it into newsstories, and whatnot, so yeah, I'm generalizing. XD
P.s. Best picture in that collage was of Light.

That's not true. The only people that show up in news stories are the people being busted for marijuana. You don't see anyone making it into the news stories because they were too high and killed a bunch of people. It's a real injustice when the side effects of a drug being illegal are worse than the side effects of a drug itself. That's my favorite quote, and I don't even know who said it. I don't understand how drugs like alcohol and tobacco are legal when they have obvious health issues and very little medicinal value and the government won't even recognize marijuanas obvious medicinal value and fail to see that it is even safer than the pop we drink!

So, Soda can cause lung cancer?

No, but it can give you diabetes.

No it doesn't. I am not sure what your referring to, unless your assuming marijuana causes lung cancer which I thought was already addressed in this thread. There has never been a documented case of lung cancer from marijuana smoke alone.

Jimmy Carter, although that's not the exact quote it's substantively the same.

Marijuana doesn't cause lung cancer. I suppose it could theoretically, but there's no correlation - people who smoke weed get lung cancer about as often as people who don't smoke weed. Actually, the pot smokers get it slightly LESS often.... imagine that.
