I'll go back to the alcohol comparison. How many DUI crashes have you attended? How many Domestic Violence assaults where daddy got drunk and beat up mommy or the kids? That drinking impacted vastly more than one person
How many DUI crashes do you know that were due to pot? How many stoned fathers have beat their kids and wife because they were too high? What are you even talking about at this point?

Pot's the exact same way.

If you want to have a private moment alone, kill as many of your brain cells as you want, I don't really care
It actually doesn't kill brain cells, but I won't bother getting into the science with you since you seem to be willingly stuck in the 1950's.

same could be said for someone who's had too much NyQuil. Or not enough sleep. If we based every decision regarding legalization on what the minority could do, we would live in a communist state of full government control.
You're out of touch.

There's no way to tell because it has never been tracked. Unlike alcohol with a breathalyzer, there hasn't been a way to detect one's THC impairment until recently, and even that is in the early stages of development.
I support marijuana legalization, but I'm not going to argue it doesn't impair your driving, because it absolutely does. It severely impacts your reaction time. And truth is, it probably has caused some traffic deaths. I don't think it will ever reach the levels of alcohol related traffic deaths, but that has more to do with alcohol being more widely used.

I'll never support legalization, but you're spot on. Classifying it alongside heroin and LSD just doesn't make any sense.
And it's currently higher on the list than meth or cocaine. It's completely absurd.

Of course it does. But I'm sure you agree that's not a good reason for it being illegal, and is not the reason why it is currently.
There's a lot of things that can affect your driving. God forbid we expect an adult to be an adult and make adult-like decisions. Not to mention being illegal hasn't stopped anyone from smoking and driving anyways. It's not like we are arguing to not punish those who iscaught driving high.

I don't know anyone like this. I know a lot of people who use marijuana, but it's always recreational. I don't know how anyone could think it makes them more productive. Creative? Absolutely.
Then you've never heard a stoner explain the difference between sativa and indica. But I'm not trying to put legitimacy behind their claims, I think it's just an excuse for them to be high all the time. And I wish I only knew people that used weed in a recreational way. Weed is fun and should be legal.

Remember playing Cruisin USA at places with arcade games? That's what driving while high feels like.

I could tell you the difference n sativa and indica. Just because sativa doesn't make you sleepy, doesn't mean it make you more productive. it just doesn't make you less productive, like indica. It just doesn't make you sleepy.
I actually do know someone who smokes daily, but he seems pretty content with his life.
My thoughts are that there are plenty of people in the world who want to get shite done. More meat for the meat eaters.

Do you support legalization of alcohol?
Nope. I don't agree with the non-medicinal use of any mind-altering drug.
I just realized what you said here, and I find it absurd. You quite literally said you do not agree with alcohol being legal. Do you know what the state of affairs in this country was during Prohibition?

I said I didn't agree with it. I didn't say I thought it was practical to return to that state of affairs. The alcohol genie left the bottle (pun intended) a long, long time ago.

So in other words, you do agree with it being legal then?
You can't have your cake and eat it too. You either don't support legalization, as you said, and believe it should be illegal or you support it's legalization for whatever reason you wish. But you can't not support it's legalization yet think it impractical to return to Prohibition. They are literally one in the same and we have a specific point in time to prove it.

Big difference between Indica and Sativa
The biggest difference is how mature you let the plant get. Plus most shite today is hybridized as frick. I'll get you as stoned off of a 70/30 sativa hybrid as most heavily indica dominant strains. I'm a patient guy, and I let my trichomes go 65-75% amber before cropping. With that said I could pull the same indica dominant plant early, with only milky white trichomes, and leave you thinking it is more sativa than it is. Obviously the closer you go to pure 100% sativa/indica this will be minimized, but back to the hybridization comment previously.
End of the day my body is full of cannabinoid receptors of the cb1 and cb2 variety. I enjoy giving them what they want. Either we evolved into this or we were created that way. Either way says cannabis is kosher for human consumption.

I've started calling people out on it. Like, when a cashier is being really slow. Or keeps making the same stupid mistake. I'm usually like: You got too high to do this stupid job? That's too high.
About 90% accuracy rate with that. Most of them just start busting out laughing.

Because it sure is hard for young people to get booze, right?
I was a lot harder for me to get booze as a kid than weed. I could buy whatever I wanted from multiple Taco Bell cashiers, and that was before high school. Once in high school, any drug was easier to score than booze.
Booze took ingenuity or an irresponsible parent.

One could say he is on a high horse.
Or Indian/Persian gas station attendants who gave no fricks.
Liquor was harder to get, though.
