If the weed folks realized that gun nuts were ok people, and gun nuts realized that weed folks were ok people, the world would be ruled by libertarians.

Can you really use the words "Stephen Baldwin" and "debate" in the same sentence?

Legalize weed, sell it in stores (making it more powerful than stuff you grow in your own home), tax the hell out of it and you'll see how fast the economy rebounds. Also, legalize hemp (for paper, clothes, etc.) and you reduce the amount of trees cut down drastically. (the declaration of independence and the constitution were both written on hemp paper).

A debate by two people who think their smarter than they really are. That’s never a great combination.

 

[STDiva]

Haha, the picture they use for Stephen Baldwin is fucking hilarious. What a douchebag he is.

Stephen Baldwin... Which brother is he again? Oh, the irrelevant one. Hm, that doesn't really narrow it down that much.

This is the same guy that had "HM" for Hannah Montana tattooed on his arm so that he could make a cameo on the show. How do you take someone seriously after that?

Stephen Baldwin - Faith based and conservative? :dunno:

It's a shame his career seems to have dried up. I'm sure he would have been great as a creepy peadophile/mass murderer who lives down the street.

Well, I really have nothing against potheads. To each his own. The problem, as I see it, has to do with the major dealers and the drug cartels on the supply side. Those are also the very same people most likely to have illegal firearms.

IMO, people on the left need to face the fact that guns aren't inherently evil, but they might be in the hands of an evil, careless person. And people on the right need to face the fact that to claim that pot should be illegal, while alcohol and tobacco are legal, is really hypocritical.

Legalization can help to alleviate the recession and reduce the high cost of funding the prison industry

This is why I need to move to the Netherlands. Just sit in a coffee shop all day chilling on my computer and talking on freeones.com.

Silly Americans without their legalized pot.

Even if weed isn't legalized, sending otherwise productive people who don't break any other laws to jail for what they do in their own free time and giving them a criminal record for it which may exclude them from employment even at a supermarket is really a waste. That is probably the biggest problem I got with the war on drugs. I am concerned about people getting high and then getting behind the wheel of a car, just like I'd be concerned about a drunk driver, but if you guys who get high don't drive under the influence then have fun. I think conservatives should also be supportive of legalizing weed, after all, we conservatives are all for PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Even if pot were legalized, I still wouldn't use it, well, maybe I would try it to relieve pain due to a really painful injury. Conservatives are afraid that if pot were legalized, their kids would use it and end up looking and sounding as smart as Cheech and Chong. Again, it's all about personal responsibility, you don't want your kids to use pot, teach them about the risks of excessive usage.
