IT'S PURELY RECREATIONAL DUUUUDE

2017-10-23 23:42:58 UTC  

cocaine, prostitution, meth, and heroin are purely recreational but people don't advocate for them now do they

>b-but muh e-epilepsia a-and c-cancer treatment

2017-10-23 23:44:03 UTC  

Literally just a painkiller

2017-10-23 23:44:14 UTC  

back when i used to smoke it

2017-10-23 23:44:20 UTC  

my only upside was that it helped my stutter a little bit

2017-10-23 23:44:22 UTC  

that's about it

2017-10-23 23:45:36 UTC  

yeah, I bet opioids help with stutters too

2017-10-23 23:47:53 UTC  

i would think that the only drug i'd really be okay with is growing tobacco and rolling our own cigars or something

2017-10-23 23:48:25 UTC  

I dont buy any deep government/corporate conspiracies to the effect of 'these companies all sat together in a smoky room and made a decision,' but if you look at hearst's impact on hemp regulation, there was financial motive that drove his involvement

2017-10-23 23:49:41 UTC  

it got lobbied into illegallity in the pre-ww2 era by paper magnates

2017-10-23 23:50:27 UTC  

tbh, when you see these 'legalize-Hemp' movements they're really just a coverup for drug production.

2017-10-23 23:51:46 UTC  

so, sure, the white guy with the dreads and rasta hat probably isnt planning to open up a hemp paper factory

2017-10-23 23:52:02 UTC  

I was about to say that lol

2017-10-23 23:52:39 UTC  

the black kid selling weed for 15 dollars a pop is gonna become an entrepreneur for hemp

2017-10-23 23:52:50 UTC  

he ain't do nothin' wrong

2017-10-23 23:55:58 UTC  

alcohol is derrived from a chemical process known as distillation

2017-10-23 23:56:40 UTC  

so is opium ok? if i just bleed the poppy, let the milk dry and smoke it?

2017-10-23 23:57:37 UTC  

Alcohol has been embedded into our culture for millenia

2017-10-23 23:57:49 UTC  

It also isn't as harmul in small portions

2017-10-23 23:57:56 UTC  

It doesn't kill neurons

2017-10-23 23:58:17 UTC  

so you're abandoning that line and chosing a plea to tradition

2017-10-23 23:58:18 UTC  

only slows the growth of new ones in teenagers

2017-10-23 23:58:39 UTC  

Well, yes I see the problems with that

2017-10-23 23:59:51 UTC  

So, the thing about drawing lines and making rules, is that it is in human nature to challenge these things

2017-10-24 00:00:13 UTC  

thats why an average bill that goes before the senate is literally too big to read

2017-10-24 00:00:38 UTC  

reverse-reverse-reverse lawyering with words to stamp out ways around things, amongst other stuff

2017-10-24 00:01:20 UTC  

make your lines on your soul, and enforce them in your home, and hold your brothers to your standards as you would want them to do the same to you

2017-10-24 00:02:15 UTC  

'this should be illegal, this should be regulated,' every inch you give the government to make life easier for you takes a thousand miles of walking to get back

2017-10-24 00:02:42 UTC  

just, you know, be careful

2017-10-24 00:03:10 UTC  

If consumed in excess it damages the dendrites of neurons

2017-10-24 00:03:12 UTC  

its easy to give up enough rope for a bad actor to tie your own noose with

2017-10-24 00:03:55 UTC  

that's pretty much it... and yes alcohol can definitely be harmful to vital organs, just not brain cells

2017-10-24 00:04:12 UTC  

alcohol is bad for you. tobacco is demonstably bad for you. pot is bad for you. plastic bottles are bad for you

2017-10-24 00:04:51 UTC  

dont do them, teach your children not to do them, dont hang around people that do them, decry those that do them to excess as degenerates

2017-10-24 00:05:23 UTC  

or dont

2017-10-24 00:05:48 UTC  

the central point here is you, your person, your beliefs, your values

2017-10-24 00:06:09 UTC  

if you strawman me like again, ill ban you. take that how you will

2017-10-24 00:06:45 UTC  

this is not the place for you to bang on about your beliefs and then act like a child when someone challenges you on them
