[rquote=2615957&tid=148331&author=ProbeEight]Here is the short version, folks, based on hard facts from the past and present, and not on hypothesis situations, tests and studies :
Of course, Cannabis is not 100% safe, no drug is, but glass laced Cannabis is not nice. And it exists because Cannabis is illegal. If you want to think a large terrorist market would still exist for Cannabis if anybody could just grow it for free, go ahead, knock yourself out!
Also, I would urge all of you to pick an obscure subject i.e. skydiving, tin cans or coconuts, and gather a list of Google links demonizing them. Or we could just ban knives. They kill quiet a lot of people, and you and your evil bread cutting are directly to blame.
Also, next time you but a legal drink, think of the money you are giving back to alcohol companies who make yet more drink people get messed up and drink drive on.
That, or we could just talk about how strangely driven and demented MassiveTruck is, and why on earth a second thread was needed![/rquote]
I see you still can't counter argue it and ignore the fact that Cannabis ruins lives and kills people (evidence above) and just think we should Legalise cannabis because it doesn't kill that many people and only funds terrorism and the rise in Cannabis is directly down to Arms and Sex Trafficking.
So you ignore all that because oh... because you also ignore that since more people drink alcohol obviously more people are affected but you ignore that and
Well, let let me just remind you all the things you have responded to above and for over 8 pages of your acceptance of drug abuse and drug use for "leisure purposes" Yes? Ok.
All evidence in post one - but you don't know that because your whole argument is built around a petty reassurance that oh more people die from alcohol so let's kill more others by legalising Cannabis. What a pleasant individual you are.
Next to time you write a post accepting cannabis think of the women in the sex trade.
The next time you write a post accepting cannabis, think of all the people murdered and killed in the arms trade.
The next time you write a post accepting cannabis think of the 8 out of 10 admittances to Psychiatric hospitals for Schizophrenia down to Cannabis.
The next time you write a post accepting cannabis, think of the people brought in to the UK to work to slave on Cannabis farms that doesn't feed our habit but encourages it.
The next time you write a post accepting Cannabis think of the people who need a quick fix but can't get one so resort to sex, prostitution and illicit activities.
The next time you write a post accepting cannabis consider the low response rate from breed Cannabis plants and the time involved - i.e. Legalising leads to rise in criminal activity - Evidence above in reference to Portugal, Holland and California.
The next time you write a post accepting Cannabis, maybe you can tell us about how you justify the suicide attempts and deaths related to that.
The next time you write a post accepting Cannabis how about telling us why this is a criminal drug and is encouraged as that (basically simple Scotland Yard and Interpol data that - common knowledge)
The next time you write a post accepting Cannabis tell us why even though you know that 1 in 2 people are affected by Cannabis negatively (even if they take it once) and that at least 1 in 5 are regularly affected and you know this - but you still want to encourage it.
The next time you write a post accepting cannabis - why haven't you ever commented on the clear evidence, academic and statistical that there is a mental health problem with this drug. Tell everyone why you ignore this.
The next time you write a post accepting Cannabis, tell everyone why you never responded to the clear evidence that Cannabis not only triggers and amplifies Depression centres in the brain but also works on clearly identified centres related to suicide (something you have not responded to in my previous posts) and your response has always been a juvenile and naive "but more people die from alcohol".
We know more people die from alcohol. It's because out of a country of 60,000,000 people nearly everyone drinks it but only 30k are regular users on cannabis. Can't you understand this is why not as many people are statistically there but by ratio there are more people struggling with it.
The next time you accept Cannabis use, maybe you can tell people around the world how even in places where it is legal, Sex and Arms trafficking is rife due to the legalities of the countries.
The next time you accept Cannabis use maybe you can explain, why even though evidence of rise in crime and rise in mental health problems and death and sex and arms trafficking has occurred you choose to ignore this with your view that "oh, but more people die from alcohol".
The next time you accept Cannabis, maybe you can explain how considering most people take it for it's sedating effects and this is down to the a high THC content, other psychosis reducing (not removing) properties disappear and you encourage this.
The next time you accept Cannabis use, maybe you can tell us how statistics above before hydro-ponics and Skunk, the health risks with regular cannabis use were 1 to 1 and now have increased rapidly.
The next time you accept Cannabis use, maybe you can explain to everybody, why is it that you justify knife crime, all negative activities in order to promote more people to smoke Cannabis. In your view, radiation is great as well as long as a few mutations doesn't stop you from playing a DVD. Newsflash - by ratio, more people are affected by Cannabis, evidence is above.
Also, you could also explain to us, in light of your acceptance of Cannabis, why does your above link put Cannabis on a par with Alcohol - which is legalised but even illegal Cannabis is just as bad as Alcohol. Can you explain, in any rational way why you want to legalise it then?
Can you also explain how it has been explained to you time and time again that people are dying, people are suffering from this drug but you are more interested in legalising it for no other purpose but for people to suffer. That's true because the reasons you give for legalising appear to be simply so people can continue to buy it and also help crime.
Why are you doing that.
It's simple - counter argue it but all you say is "But alcohol is legal too so let's kill more people with Marijuana".
What a sad sad sad world we live in when the pro-cannabis community only have this to stand on. You go on any pro-cannabis site they continue to say oh Alcohol is worse but just like you do...
...your own evidence contradicts your goals.
Anyway, like I said, Counter argue it.
but you can't.
