The worst thing you can do is turn these little darlings into victims. Straight up, people have been addicted to hardcore drugs longer than these kids have been on the planet and they quit successfully on their own.
BTW, the worst gateway drug for kids is ritalin or adderal. The ritalin kids become the crackies and tweakers thanks to their doctors.
wow this video is retarded, the only person here with a problem is the vikidin-head. Weed is not a gatway drug
theese kids dont know shit
dam these dudes need help to stop what a dumbasses there minds not write they havent even been through anything as i can see.
@mrtampenski Kpaow. “People” – a minority of them perhaps. What does how easy it is to make have to do with anything? And – allow me to ask an honest question – where’s your proof for your claims?
@paxcoder Lmao people do oppose it prohibition, the problem is the government can’t make real cash of marijuana because its easy to grow, unlike alcohol which is hard to make, if you mess up you will be poisoned and die.
@paxcoder it doesn’t work. keeping it illegal allows users access to much stronger stuff (heroine, cocaine, speed, k) stuff that really CAN mess you. Also it gives massive ammounts of money to drug dealers that is untaxed and unregulated. Since its unregulated the stuff they do buy could be laced with anything from dmt to pcp. All this is no bueno and good reasons for it to be legal. That and these are suburban white kids and don’t know anything about real drugs.
it didn’t work for alcohol. but you see it works for marijuana because people do not oppose its prohibition. and that’s a good thing.
this interviewer is great, such a cool demeanor about everything
look, for all i care, cigarettes should be illegal. they benefit noone.
well if you say so, it must be true.
ah there’s too much funky stuff online.

Thats strange when you take into account that in the US with some of the strictist drug laws use continues to rise steadly and in places where they have legalized the usage rates are much less per cap. You don’t have to agree but all the evidence shows that it’s the case so I’m done arguing with you sir. These are the facts you dont have to accept them but they are true. Thank you for arguing with me I do love a good debate and it was a good one. And I’m not arguing abortion with you
I disagree. It won’t disappear, but it will be reduced. The effect on the society will be just the opposite of what you argue if it were allowed.
Also, as a side note, the “back-alley phisician” argument is weak, as the mother is killing its baby. Aside from the fact that should never be legal, if you make it safe you sacrifice the innocent child (or possibly more than one baby) in favor of the murderous mother.
