that's stupid logic. there are also thousands of plant species that will kill you. there may not be a law against consuming them, but your instincts naturally dissuade you from harming yourself, so you wouldn't consume it. marijuana just doesn't kill you, but the law takes over your instincts in this case. laws are in place to protect people, even stupid people who do drugs.

because crybaby potheads use heroin as the strawman e.g. ''it's not like im doing heroin'' potheads are the worst kind of hypocrite and most of them are the most boring people on earth. seriously, legalize heroin--it actually has legitimate medical uses. Diamorphine is also less harmful to the body than marijuana (smoked), and the medical problems which arise from morphine use are directly related to conditions which are the result of its criminal status.

Exactly. Not all laws are made to "protect everyone so we can have a happy, happy society and live in peace."

Many laws, in all societies all over the world during all time periods have been made to benefit one group, often at the expense of others.

Do you even know what income taxes are used for? You probably don't, because the American government refuses to tell its citizens what it does with the money. Billions of dollars vanishing. I'm willing to bet that it goes towards our military, which already has a budget 400% larger than any other country's. It's a fucking waste of money and it doesn't profit anyone, it only shows how overly decadent our country is and how stupid our citizens are.

if all my knowledge of income taxes came from the speculative documentary called zeitgeist, i too would assert this. however, even if it did all go to the military, my claim still stands, because the military is organized for the benefit of its country's people, just like government, as i wrote.

the military doesn't help American citizens. They're off in Iraq fighting a war that has nothing to do with America. The coast guard might benefit American citizens, but then again they couldn't even stop the 9/11 attacks and aside from that instance America hasn't been under attack in 200 years.

Weed is a plant that produces passion and feeling; why do you try to explain it with logic and rhetoric?

That's almost as dumb as trying to explain God with logic...which many philosophers wasted their life doing. If a God truly exists, then he cannot be explained within the boundaries of human logic. To ants, human beings walking by are huge, strange, and terrifying entities that they cannot understand. The universe is a huge, strange, and terrifying thing that we cannot fully understand. Our brain limits us. Our size limits us.
