Why is weed or cannabis considered a drug?

[DinohScene]

LSD, shrooms and everything in between can have some real nasty trips if you're not smart about it. Gotta keep in the up.

I wouldn't take blotters if I where anything but happy yeh.
Also, quantity of intake has a lot to do with having a bad trip or not.

Well of course. Same can be said about drinking. Which is why I stick to whiskey.

Eat fries, fry butter, drink frying oil.

Vodka can be made out of pretty much anything one can ferment really.

if the person don't drink, what he is?

 

[DinohScene]

Anti slavic propaganda!

But in all seriousness, people that don't drink are just non drinkers.
They won't have an increased risk in what drinkers have.

i am anti slavic pro... :'''(

Synthesized drugs are harmful as it's made from pure chemicals.
Nature grown drugs like cannabis, shrooms and opium aren't healthy for you either but are a lot better then MDMA, meth and coke etc.

What? You would rate opium as a better choice than MDMA? That is a claim you are going to want to justify.

Going further there is no foundation for calling artificially created substances more harmful than naturally derived ones.

That is an argument for banning cigarettes, not for legalising weed.

I never quite got that line of logic.

Scene as it were
So we live in a free country after a fashion.
"We are going to either ban or maintain historical bans because the harm done by said substances, or at least the risk of harm, is so very high"
Fair enough, might question the efficacy of that but it seems to play under the law so go it for now
"As everything is dangerous under the right conditions, or wrong conditions as the case may be, these are substances we deem suitably harm free to allow for consumption, possibly restricted by age, activities you can do under the influence of them or something. These are the metrics we have used to quantify harm"
Excellent
[someone does some science]
Going by those metrics these restricted substances are demonstrably less harmful than the ones you allow. The remedy for this as we all kind of agreed we like consistency and logic to underpin laws far more than "magic book governed by elites says so" or "boss man's gut feeling" is to either further restrict things or to remove those restrictions.

If you use common sense in what you purchase then you wouldn't get that shit.
You're exaggerating it.

exaggerating the pain of potter's rot? no. however, Silicosis isn't something that develops overnight, its an occupational disease, so I will accept that I has exaggerating that particular brand's ability to give it to you.

 

[VinsCool]

somedays i like to drink coffee, and for real, brazil is the biggest coffee exporter but still, the coffee here is even better XD
people say they drink strong coffee and this is kinda bad, but i would like to see them drinking our coffee, its much more stronger even being the SAME as the other countries.
so, the taste can change something?

Hehe I would be more than happy to try local Brazilian roasts

LSD gives you beautiful dreams and drone keeps your mind paranoid ;p



There's a hell of a lot more traffic accidents regarding alcohol then there are regarding marijuana, same goes for violence

So technically, you should legalize marijuana and make alcohol an illegal substance.

It partially depends on the person as well.
If I drink large quanitites of alcohol, I start talking a lot and become affectionate.
However a friend of me mate gets extremely violent.
But that's besides the point.

I know that. None of it should be illegal, just look at the US during prohibition, people shot dead over liquor. It just gives power to criminals to have it illegal. Goes for all drugs.

The people who wrote those laws to make drugs illegal are dead, and everyone should be allowed to ingest whatever substance they chose into their own body, it is not the property of the government. I'm pretty sure it will become this way, maybe not during our lifetime, but someday. First up is cannabis legal all over the world. Someday.

You do know that you can contract that by working in construction as well right?

It very rarely happens that cultivators lace their products with such harmful things and anyone with common sense knows that dealers won't sell purposely bad rubbish as they want to keep their customer base.

i learned that with people who traveled to USA and such, they said even being the same coffee, here the thing is MUCH MORE STRONGER, some says its probably because of the water

There will always be substances that are controlled.
You can't avoid it.

Governments also earns money on controlling those substances.

yes. all I said was it was occupational, and potter's rot is just the only nickname i was familiar with. miners, potters, construction workers, and a few other occupations can all put people at risk.

So you taking it out on Marijuana is just fearmongering and completely irrelevant.
