Let me guess. Your 4th cousins best friends brother in law gave you the inside scoop.

Active THC remains in the system for only 2 to 4 hours. It is metabolized by the body and no longer has psychoactive effects.
Tests now only find metabolites that DON'T GET YOU HIGH.

That's my stance. Don't know if you've seen the news lately or not but apparently prohibition isn't exactly working. All it's accomplished is filling prisons to the brim, putting cartels in positions of huge power and wasting untod billions of taxpayers dollars.
All so we can see on the news how the opioid epidemic is continuing to get worse. How anyone can convince themselves that prohibition works is beyond me. I can't fathom it.

What boggles me even further is that the same people that will argue how gun control won't work and that it shouldnt be the governments business will turn right around and then say drug control is and that it does work. 
You can't make this shite up.

Have you been to Denver? It ain't pretty.

Legalize it but drug test for all public assistance if any type. (Yes, I’d favor testing for alcohol too, but it’s too late for that). Why should the government take taxes from a single mom working two jobs to pay for benefits for stoners?

I don’t pretend to know the stats but I’d be shocked if alcohol incidents didn’t outnumber pot related trips to the ER 100 to 1.
Alcohol is so much worse.

let's also remember that the biggest drug crisis in 30 years (the opiate crisis) was caused by doctors over-prescribing heavily regulated drugs

In the great words of Daniel Tosh, legalize it so potheads never have anything to talk about ever again

Indeed. While the companies spent millions and millions telling docs and everyone else how safe they were.
It's just ludicrous people believe this in the 21st century.

It’s more a very small sample of doctors HEAVILY over prescribing drugs. A lot of family doctors are phasing our even prescribing opioids, as in people who are on them they will still prescribe it but won’t take new patients for it. You almost have to go to a pain specialist now. We are trying to combat it but I fear it might be too late. Thing is if we would’ve started this when it majority only affected minority’s it wouldn’t be near as bad now.

Marijuana is just another way to escape from overcoming negative emotions when in a rut through actions and adds to emotional weakness
Previous two points are contributors to depression, though a person may insist marijuana cures their depression it only postpones and builds it
And Prozac, Lexapro, or any other SSRI are different in which ways? Depression and anxiety are literally chemical imbalances within the brain. Anti-depression medications target those imbalances to level things out while on the medication. Stop taking the medication, especially abruptly, and patients spiral into an even worse depression than they started with. SSRIs are linked to a number of side effects, some of which are very serious.
But you want to get on here and spout off about weed being used in lieu of man-made chemicals?
Or, perhaps, your REAL opinion is that depression and anxiety are just made up ailments that don't truly exist, rendering any and all treatments nothing more than drug abuse?
Also, you can start linking to the Medical Journal studies whenever you're ready. You're just throwing shite at the wall and hoping some of it will stick with readers.

A couple of points I think a lot of people miss:
Not everyone who smokes pot becomes a pothead just like not everyone that has a beer becomes an alcoholic.
You sober up from Marijuana intoxication a lot faster than alcohol intoxication. When you stop smoking, you're sober 2-4 hours later. When you stop drinking, your body takes 1 hour to process every drink you consume. There's no hangover the next morning with pot.
Gateway drug: It goes like this. You're told since you're 5 that Pot is evil and bad. One day a buddy passes you a joint and you try it. You realize that it's no big deal at all. Then you wonder what else you've been lied to about. Since pot is illegal, the dealers have other drugs to sell. So you see if all the stories are true and try harder drugs, ones that are truly addictive. If pot was legal, then you wouldn't have had access to those illegal drugs because the place you buy it only sells pot.
I'm convinced that there's a moral or ethical dilemma with pot rather than the actual drug itself. The drug itself is nothing. It's just pot, and both sides make too big a deal of it.

Which is weird, cause in his journal he wrote about seperating the males from the females, a tad bit late he feared... no reason to seperate, if you're growing hemp for rope. That move was about having seeded up females, which is entirely about consuming the female flower. August 7th, 1765 if you'd like to fact check it.

I'm a libertarian , not one of these religious zealots who believe they should control your life, and believe you treated it like alcohol, against the law if your under 18. Don't really want to tax it since that's just more money for the elected officials to steal. The real downside about legalizing it would be the number of law officials that would lose there job with the fewer people in jail

Maybe what I've read about hemp is wrong then. But females live longer than males so they would have different harvest times. They have different fiber make-ups for different uses, and keeping the seeds producers together makes it easier for collecting.
