Age of Marijuana Use and Psychosis

[Wrathbringer]

Oh let the druggies kill themselves off. Would solve several problems.

Like robin Williams?

Apparently they aren't too regulated if someone can sell a cookie to someone and say "Now promise to only eat a fifth of this at a time" and then sells the dude at least 2 cookies.

I'm just saying if more than a fifth of a cookie is "too much" then maybe they should put less marijuana or whatever in the cookie and make the whole cookie safe and say okay, only one cookie for you mister.

That's like blaming the vendor because someone bought a gallon of whiskey and then chugged the whole thing.

I didn't say marijuana should be outlawed. I said I think we need more/better regulation than some dude at a pot shop saying "Make sure you just take one fifth of this cookie at once."

What do you suggest though? That the clerk follow the customer home and if they try to eat more than 1/5 the cookie he slaps their hand and says "No no!" and takes their cookie away?

Just going from the couple of times I drank alcohol and I couldn't even imagine just chugging down that shit in a matter of seconds.

This is the problem with people in this thread. The ones railing against things to such a huge degree have little to no first hand experience with the stuff they're talking about. DON'T RUIN POT LIKE YOU RUINED GEMSTONE!!!!!11

That's exactly what I'm getting at. People obviously don't know enough about this shit so we should be selling them less of this stuff, not more.

Should we only sell vodka in single shot bottles too?

If people are literally eating these things and jumping out of windows an hour later how can you say more regulation isn't needed?

Because you can't regulate stupid. Otherwise everything would need to be banned. And taking some 1 in a million case and acting like it happens regularly is making you look like Latrin, and you must stop that immediately!

There's nothing wrong with making it mandatory to present more information to the consumer. There's a lot wrong with overregulating/banning something because a consumer chooses to be a retard and ignore said information.

The way you jump through these hoops to downplay anything bad said about marijuana is quite silly.

It's because most if not all of those cases end up boiling down to human stupidity as opposed to reefer madness.

How long do you think it would take for those potheads to kill themselves off, with pot being such a dangerous drug that's responsible for millions upon millions of deaths?

Latrinsorm appears fixated on graphs and charts and statistical analysis, not real life. It really doesn't matter the topic, from my experience, it's more about picking issues apart and the sport of debate. I also believe he leans so far right in terms of Western Medicine and traditional conservative funded research that he cannot hear anything other than the propaganda. I have many family members and friends who are equally rigid in their belief systems, many of whom coincidentally, are also alcoholics. One of the things that I have finally accepted in life is that you cannot TELL someone to understand something, believe something, or do something. They have to be ready to receive that information and openly accept it and make the move themselves. I pray for his sake that his lesson isn't too painful when he has to look outside the tiny box. Knowledge may come with study, but wisdom comes with experience. Respect(fully yours)...as per Subzero's rec!

A student asked me once about the physics concept of work, which is traditionally troubling because it is askew from the common definition. "But what does it mean?" she asked. I said to her, "math is the fundamental reality." She got an A on the test. (But not a hundred. No smiley face.)You disagree with Dr. Horwood, I take it?

I actually think worse of Latrin than just thinking he's a liar. I suspect he's some sort of anti-social home schooled semi autistic guy who's rarely spoken to a real human in his life. I don't think he understands how the human mind works, and thinks he can explain life with numbers. The guy won't even commit to picking his favorite NBA team. He's a weird cat.

You're missing the point, my friend. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that happens is someone or something else's fault and we have to know who to sue. Without regulation WHO WILL WE SUE FOR BAD THINGS?

Oh yeah. My bad.

Wait, whose fault is it when someone sharts?

[Wrathbringer]

Certainly not the sharter, so we can rule him/her out. Hmm. I'm not sure. Where's Back when you need him?

[Thondalar]

Just leave Latrin alone. He's a nazi.

Close. He's a fascist. Unless he's just hiding his antisemitism...although I would be interested to hear his take on Scientific Racism.

If people doing stupid shit while under the influence is our baseline for whether a drug should be legal or not, be prepared to take a hard look at alcohol. Or watch any random episode of COPS.

There are already laws about doing stupid shit while under the influence of alcohol.

Hell take a look at anything that could possibly be dangerous. Should we get verbal warnings at fat food restaurants over the dangers of obesity? Are you sure you want to supersize that soda, sir?

There are already laws regulating foodstuffs (i.e. 2003 FDA ruling that trans fats must be on ingredients list, at the state and local level there are TONS of these laws).

So... yeah.

Everyone knows that Americans don't read though. Which is why the cashier should be like HEY...JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE GONNA GET EVEN FATTER IF YOU EAT THIS CHICKEN SHIT BULLSHIT!!!

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I personally look for those products with extra trans fats. They taste better.
