Yeah, because weed legalization is so at the top of the priority list right now.

Or you know, all those people I've seen injured at work because people were high all day. (construction)

I'm not fine with the waste of money devoted to fighting a 'war' they honestly don't want to end.

Bill murry did not say this
CoyotaTorona
Bill is wise be like bill
TheOvy
Once legal, of course, the most dangerous thing with weed is driving under the influence of it. I'm all for legalization, but be realistic.
LoudAngryJerk
thaaat's not really true. The most dangerous thing about weed are the people who mass produce, and make millions off of its sale illegally

While I agree with Mr. Murray, you could also say "I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about murder is getting caught."
butsir
I dont think weed is terrible (i have smoked more than most)but where do we draw the line on drugs? Serious question.
gater04
If it grows in the ground, it should be legal. If it needs to be processed, illegal. My opinion on the matter.
SilverRazer
No one can answer that for you. Personally, I say that we decriminalize all of them, and make some of them legal.
NeverOddOrEvenBackwards
silverskeeter44
That should be for all crimes. If the punishment doesn't out weigh the crime then why not comment the crime?
VoltageXL1
Doing bathsalts is far more dangerous than getting caught with them.
butsir
Interesting point
GarikEast
Because it's allegedly only illegal in order to protect you. Similarly to seatbelts. In reality the war on weed isn't making anyone safer.
RheaButt
If anything it makes most people less safe because it gives dealers an easy source of income as opposed to a regular shop owner
silverskeeter44
Guess I was just saying for breaking any law I general. Weed is illegal whether you agree or not.
GarikEast
but we're talking about weed, not general law. would you agree with a law that would put people in jail for not putting on a seat belt?
Nihelus
I'm not overly against legalizing pot, but getting caught with it is NOT the most dangerous thing about it.
gater04
So what is then? Because I consider jail more dangerous than my couch.
ryanmason
I want it to be legal so smokers will shut the fuck up about it.
twoguns1994
I dont have a problem with people smoking weed. Personally I've never done it. but I have huge problems with stoners that wont stfu about it
missbelled
Yeah, arrest those motormouths.

Free thoughts yo, free yoself yo, if you don't smoke weed you're the establishment
TheReturnedLordLucifer
We'll stop talking about it, when it's legalised and we don't need to talk about it.
Rhannock
Once we stop risking prison for smoking the backyard weeds, maybe we'll stfu about it.
XxcelticwarriorxX
It can become an addiction like any other, where my step mom bought it instead of food/diapers for my younger siblings growing up. Its ok 1/
XxcelticwarriorxX
No real worse than alcohol or cigarettes
Vanbytheriver
I bet your mom was buying harder drugs than just weed...
Vanbytheriver
Your definition of huge problems is questionable.

I wonder how he thinks about getting caught in another Ghostbusters movie...

Most weed smokers get more quiet and introspective, unless you mean regarding his politics?

He becomes a close talker that just won't shut up

That's when you hit him on the head with a rubber mallet. It works every time.
dmoore182
How many times have you had to hear why it's illegal?
ProCheeseburger
Doesn't really talk too much about that... It's legal where he lives
Ardbeg
It's like the most dangerous thing in the world is the state. Who would have thought.
PM7597
Actually it is developing depression because of what it does to your brain's reward circuitary. But it's the slow boring answer.
gater04
I'd love to see evidence of that. As someone who's smoked for years, depression is the last thing it's ever given me. So I tend to disagree.
PM7597
I read some stuff a while ago. I'll find it and put it here. I'm just busy for a while right now.
gater04
Awesome, I'd appreciate it.
ImaLiveForeverCuzLegendsNeverDie
I have many friends who smokes alot of weed and i've noticed that all they do is to smoke, kinda sad. It takes over their spare time and $:/
tokenhooker
A huge amount of successful people smoke pot. Pick better friends.
ImaLiveForeverCuzLegendsNeverDie
yes ofc but to start in young age often mean that u sit somewhere(like outside) and smoke because ur living with ur mum, and doesnt do shit
IsThisAlreadyChosen
A buddy of mine smoked every day for over 2 decades and it made him unemployable because his memory was shot to pieces.
GoodyOneSixOne
No different to if he had drunk alcohol everyday for 20 years and that's legal. 1/2
GoodyOneSixOne
Actually if he had of done that he would probably be dead. 2/2

It's a good thing that there isn't anything else out there that impairs concentration and motor skills while driving...
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
dude, just bc there's one thing that enables vehicular deaths doesnt mean we need to introduce MORE things that enable vehicular death. Like
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
i said above, there's a legal, quantifiable LIMIT to alcohol levels. is there such a thing for "highness?"
JosephMcCovery
Wasn't really talking about alcohol, but anyways, why are you not putting this energy towards making alcohol illegal?
RandomVoiceFromTheInternet
Unlike alcohol of course, which you're allowed to drink some of before driving...

HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
eating beforehand. idk for sure cause i dont smoke but do similar factors play into getting high as well that people can self regulate?
HikariShade
My husband smokes for medical reasons. If you get too high, you can eat food to bring you down, which is why you should never smoke 1/2
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
so for medicinal marijuana, is the point to be high all the time as a pain suppressant? like i said i don't know a whole lot
HikariShade
2/2 before a meal. It just wastes your high. You should also avoid giving into the munchies if you want a prolonged high.
HannibalLecturer
The argument against legalization boils down to, "there might be some more people who try it and get behind the wheel?"
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
"some more people" is a quite a lot when you live in a country w/300 mill people, yes. ok, alcohol can lead to vehicular fatalities, let's
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
add even MORE deaths on top of that because "people get to drink beer too!" moreover, that's not the only argument against legalization
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
it's common sense that if people are allowed to smoke more will be willing to do it in the US since there isn't a legal consequence anymore/
HeThrustsHisFistsAgainstthePostsandStillInsistsHeSeesYourMom
/and producers will advertise to get their (now taxed) product out there. but as with cigarettes, if the legal adults are smoking, then it
vjven
More ironic is that India which had a 3000+ year history of using it was arm twisted into banning it, by western nations, including the US
brickonator
It's a similar thing with a lot of laws in Japan. The US enforced strict laws post-WWII and now some Americans ironically call them backward
GarikEast
The same mushrooms that used to grow at mount Sinai when moses was there are now illegal in israel. Irony galore.
ElbowdeepinElmo
Explains a thing or two about the stories about him.
dietderpsy
Don't believe them, everyone knows he got stoned on those tablets God gave him.
SputnikTheComrade
To be fair, the bible doesn't always specify what being stoned meant
cattingtons
What about paranoia, dependence, mental illness, and being fucking lazy?
Whitey71020
If you're lazy without it, you'll be lazy with it.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
All of that has to do with the user, not the drug
Tittipaindrowninintheazz
I tend to clean the whole house while high.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
I clean the whole house to get high
watercolortitties
So much cleaning and writing!
Tittipaindrowninintheazz
Exactly I always write my rough drafts while high. Helps me focus on one train of thought.
Crowlands
But drug dealers do bad things!... Mainly because there's no regulation due to it being labelled a crime, but... we have no examples of 1/2
Crowlands
A substance being banned causing massive harm to people's lives due to the lack of regulation! Prohibition? Never heard of it.
butsir
There is also all of the terrible shit that happens because of legal alcohol. Prohibition does not make a great example
Crowlands
Drink driving cannot be considered as bad as poisoned alcohol batches and funding the mafia.
butsir
Sure it can. Along with all the stupid shit people do. Crimes committed. People hurt. Children orphaned
Crowlands
Are you saying that every crime is EQUAL? Certain things Are worse than others.
reallyImnotwastingtime
Of course, we 'know' that pot is harmless: http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_22697266/former-cu-boulder-student-gets-2-year-deferred
GarikEast
are you referring to the part where they get hospitalized? I too would rush to the ER if i was suddenly high as shit.
reallyImnotwastingtime
Yep, "symptoms including dizziness, anxiety and loss of consciousness".
GarikEast
yeah that's the reason we smoke it. symptoms include getting high and sleepy. obviously anxiety comes when you don't know why you're high.
reallyImnotwastingtime
loss of consciousness too? Back to the 'Murray quote', this seems more dangerous than getting caught with it, at least to me.
GarikEast
alternative reply: really? passing out is more dangerous than years in jail?
GarikEast
Never heard (I've read a lot of research on topic) of anyone passing out. unless, of course, they lay down on a sofa and closed their eyes.
