I want to see a study of digg users on their marijuana use, education status, and economic status. It could be evidence that there is a high use of marijuana in educated people.

@truthRises + general message to many.Are you kidding me, how does that not make sense when you have 3 people above you saying that I DO make good points? Weed is much easier to get, because it's not like many liquor stores will sell to under aged kids unless they "know" them. Weed comes from private dealers, and they don't give a s**t if they sell it because they are making money/profit. And that applies to kids UNDER 21, who probably are the biggest age group of pot smokers. I haven't heard one decent argument yet to legalize pot, so maybe you should all quit crying for it because it's not going to happen.It's funny because most of the +Diggs I see on this page are ones to the kids who say things that COMPLIMENT the pro-legalized marijuana fight, or something absolutely retarded about how it should be legalized. The ones that give good reasons against it are Dugg down (this does not apply to those who spam and get Dugg down, they deserve that). Yeah, shows how stubborn many people are, only worrying about their own opinions and they shut down others that actually have a good reason to oppose your very weak argument on why it SHOULD be legalized.Face the facts, it won't get legalized in America, and if you don't like it, you can move to Amsterdam and do what you want. It's a lost cause. Trying to tell me I don't make sense... maybe it's just the fact you don't know how to read things very clearly and infer? Please, QUOTE what I said and tell me how it doesn't make sense? Everything I am saying is a very fairly stated opinion between the Pro and Con side of this fight, I have not made any incriminating statements to anyone who supports this or is against the legalization of marijuana. Read clearly before you speak. Save your dignity.***Notice I didn't even Digg you down for making no sense at all in your comment, I am just a nice guy.***

heres another great quote-They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lies! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the f**king effort. There is a difference.-

I am going to refrain from using many of the claims that pot users use, and still debunk yours. Many of them are not reasons to make it illegal even if it is harmful because of the vast number of people that use it today while disregarding the law completely, and the overwhelming majority of people that have tried pot in their lives. Now to the points..."I personally used to smoke pot, not a lot but regularly enough to say I did smoke for a while. My friends all did it too, funny times sure. But I decided to quit, I've been clean for 7 months, and honestly it does feel good. This guy says it's not really addictive or a gateway drug... well it is. It is mentally addictive. People feel the need/obligation to get high on a regular basis at certain points. My close group of friends do it everyday now pretty much, no matter what day of the week it is. I remember us all just saying "Yeah we won't get bad like those other kids, we'll just do it once in a while.""Good point. But it ends there. No amount of illegality will stop 90% of people. Sure didn't stop me."Well now they are talking about trying Acid, Shrooms, Cocaine, etc..."Most people I know that do coke never really were big weed smokers. Furthermore, people who go to do acid/shrooms only try weed first because it is not as strong of a drug. I have heard many people talk about trying psychadelics, many of whom have either never smoked weed or they simply had no interest in it. Furthermore, the gateway drug theory was only made up because it is so much more commonly used. I think you should read this: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur_(logic)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur_(logic)</a>"Whoever says it isn't a gateway drug is a sad repressed liar."Way to make that call. You just insulted a whole lot of people most of whom certainly not liars nor are they sad and repressed. People will digg you down for reasons like this, though you may not care."I am not saying Marijuana ruins every life it touches, but I am saying it can lead to a lot of bad things, like daily smoking and introducing you to wanting to try other drugs."So do alcohol and tobacco, to a greater extent."but for those who want to get it legalized so they can just smoke, are just as good as someone who would want to legalize drunk driving-- and that is retarded."Bad analogy. Drunk driving is harmful to other people to the extent that you endanger lives on the road. Smoking, even if it may harm you harms no-one else (go ahead and refute that, but the fact that it is illegal causes the activity to harm others...once again if you want me to explain just reply and I'll do just that). You could have compared drunk driving to high driving. This is not even considering that people have tried and failed to prove that high driving is even close to being as dangerous as high driving."It's not worth it, it may seem fun for a while but really you can spend your money on better things. Most huge pot-heads have the money for pot because they don't have girlfriends or better things to spend their time and money on..."Weed's street price on today's black market wouldn't fly in a free market. I'm not going to go and cite them but economists have stated that weed would be half, 1/3 of it's current street price, or even less.Finally, you ramble about responsibility. It's not the government's job to enforce responsibility. If it is, then there are plenty of other things that should have been made illegal before marijuana was.

@ myself"Furthermore, the gateway drug theory was only made up because it is so much more commonly used."Should be "Furthermore, the gateway drug theory was only made up because marijuana is so commonly used."Just because two things are correlated does not mean one causes the other. For example: "The appearance of certain birds is due to a curse, where they cause a storm to happen." No. It does not.
