I read something a while back that noted a recent study showing no increase in things like heroine and whatnot by ppl who use pot regularly. They basically said that it is no more a gateway drug than cigarettes or booze are.

Same article also noted that prescriptions of opioids are dropping by like 1k/doc/yr in CO because they can prescribe pot.

Please link this so I can mock it. Any marijuana study or article that extols the virtue of marijuana, not hemp oil, for medicinal purposes but also doesn't acknowledge that marijuana can and has been a first entry drug for someone addicted to something else is obviously agenda driven.

I understand that marijuana does not have the same addictive properties of other legal and illegal drugs but to completely dismiss it is idiotic and something not rooted in any science at all, its pothead logic. Also I'm unaware of any scientific study that shows positive effect of medical marijuana, I'm aware of the anecdotal evidence of it as a pain reliever but that's no surprise because it's a mind altering substance.

i have no idea if marijuana use causes increased rates of heroin use.  seems pretty suspect as a thesis, but i'm not interested enough to look for evidence one way or another (good evidence probably doesn't exist either way).  i don't particularly care if it does or it doesn't.  people should have the right to choose how they live, and if they wish to amuse themselves in a way that increases their risk of opiate addiction, they should be able to do so.

Wait, I didn't say that. Pro pot are very adept at turning one talking point into that, I want no part of that argument. The argument I'm making is that weed is a safer entry into the world of mind altering drugs than heroin, pcp, toot, crack, etc. Once marijuana becomes normalized to the user, to some it then becomes easier to make that leap. Contrary to popular belief marijuana isn't as readily available as alcohol and we don't need to make it that way. I'm good with decriminalizing a small amount of weed but we don't need to legalize it because smokers think it's harmless.

i guess i have no idea what you're saying then.  it certainly sounds to me like you're saying exactly what i said, both initially and then again right below where you say you're not saying it.

the argument that marijuana is less available than alcohol and for unknown reasons shouldn't be made more available is not particularly convincing on it's own.

Well I guess I am saying that, I just don't like your simplification, it makes easier to manipulate the argument. The availability argument wasn't made to convince you to change your mind, your particular views on this issue renders that point insignificant.

So, I am not finding the specific article, but google is full of articles about how marijuana is reducing opioid use and some where they are even using marijuana as treatment for opiod abuse.  As you know, heroin is obvsly an opioid.  It would seem that a logical next step would be that marijuana legalization may even reduce the amount of heroin addicts as much of the rise in heroin use, recently, has been ppl chasing a pain killer addiction and substituting heroin for oxy as it is less expensive.

Title: Re: Non-Presidential stuff on the ballot
Post by: ChiComCat on November 04, 2016, 09:25:15 AM
Colorado has had to have special sessions to determine a use of excess tax dollars from marijuana.  Granted, Kansas or any other state outside of California likely won't see as large of a benefit.  Between taxing the hell out of it, saving money policing/incarcerating people, and it being demonstrably less dangerous than alcohol, I really can't think of a good argument in keeping it illegal.

There can't possibly be any evidence that says legalizing weed increases heroin addicts.  Alcohol is a legal mind altering substance and doesn't lead people to doing heroin.  I don't see why marijuana is any different.

Both of which would go down if it's legal, and you could use the funds off the taxes to fund whatever extra enforcement would be needed. We spend way too much money trying to fight marijuana, and end up sending thousands of nonviolent criminals to jail for not really anything.
That would be way more expensive than actively using law enforcement to stop marijuana, and send those people to jail.

Every person who wants to smoke pot is already doing it. Legalization will do very little to increase its use.

Also, marijuana used as a supplement to opiates can cut the opiate use in half for people with chronic pain. Granted, you are trading one drug for another, but marijuana is much less harmful to your internal organs than opiates.

The difference is that too much alcohol can kill you and too much weed can't. 

Although both are dangerous because they both can impair you to the point where you make reckless decisions.

alcohol is more dangerous to a user, and to people around the user, than marijuana. i mean, it's not even close.

So what?  I don't think it will go bananas, though.   Testing detects it for weeks and legalizing it won't effect the fact that your boss can fire you for having in your system

because your boss would turn into a heroin junkie, making you the new boss?

The basis for employers still being able to fire people is that it is still a federal crime.

Employers can't have a company policy that employees can't smoke pot if it's not a federal crime?

It would be like having a policy that you can't drink alcohol outside of work hours.

Also medical marijuana would be protected by the ADA if it wasn't a schedule 1 drug.
