		<description>Most people attribute POT to being the reason that people are lazy, POT is the reason your best friend flunked out, POT is the reason your kid sleeps late in the morning.


Quit blaming pot and using a scapegoat. Your family members, friends, and kids, are fucking losers, that&#039;s why they fail.

The general idea I see from these comments are that successful people who smoke pot do well, and retard idiots who can&#039;t handle their shit fail.


So take responsibility for yourself quit blaming a plant and get the fuck off your high horse</description>

		<description>Doesnt look much different than the 70&#039;s. Actually the 70&#039;s were worse than this and we managed to survive. Smoking weed never hurt anybody, what is the point to this article? Just to make some people feel guilty for smoking or maybe its to make fun of the people who attended this event. Well these kids do have parents so maybe they are the ones to blame. My mother always said if my dog craps on the rug its my responsibilty to pick it up and teach them NO! So I think maybe the author of this article should look themselves in the mirror first before judging others. Smoke On!</description>

		<description>How to kill the drug gangs&#039; profits without giving public moral approval to the use of these destructive drugs?  This would seem to be a very difficult problem.  In addition, the public may well be tiring of the &quot;war on drugs&quot;.  Elliott Wave people, applying Elliott waves of social mood to cultural trends, predict we will see the end of the &quot;war on drugs&quot; in a few years.  And stories like &lt;a href=&quot;http://elliottwave.com/freeupdates/archives/2009/09/04/theycouldhaveshotanyofus.aspx&quot;?this&lt;/a&gt; would seem to illustrate why.  We do have to consider the marginal case, even though the marginal case is unlikely to be any of us.  We certainly would not want something so destructive to be glamorized or have the slightest hint of moral approval toward its use.  Such a habit needs to heavily stigmatized and discouraged as much as feasible, like illegitimacy used to be.  I have also heard another analyst say that the thing a drug lord fears most, aside from a bribed law enforcement officer turning him in, is decriminalization.  Perhaps the best balance between those goals I can think of is to quietly drop the criminalization of possession of drugs by anyone old enough to vote, but levy extremely heavy excise taxes on their sale, and make anyone discovered to be using drugs a target of public ridicule and humiliation as the morally and psychologically weak person he is, unable to deal with reality, and instead poisoning his mind in a feeble and vain attempt to escape his problems.  Drug use should automatically disqualify an individual from all public benefits, and make it explicitly legal to discriminate against someone based on drug use.  And keeping literature on the destructiveness of these drugs easily accessible would allow people to educate themselves about what drugs have done to others, and would likely do to themselves as well.  Such an environment would align every individual&#039;s self-interest to be smart and avoid destroying his mind with poison.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m all for the complete legalization of marijuana. Then again, I&#039;m for the complete legalization of all forms of firearms as well.

However, the 4/20 celebration has turned into nothing but a massive exercise in groupthink. Only the weak-minded need chemicals to &quot;think outside the box&quot;. They are doing nothing productive. They are not creating anything; rather, they are consuming something in great quantities that simply produces a feeling. Nothing is accomplished. Thus, the core principle of leftism is fully embraced: If It Feels Good, Do It, And Damn The Consequences.

I live with someone who lights up a doob or takes a bong rip several times per day. He is lazy, sluggish, and forgets things easily - though it&#039;s nothing compared to his perpetually-stoned friend who I&#039;d trust about as far as I could toss Michael Moore. I don&#039;t need to be a medical researcher to see that frequent consumption of marijuana leads to groupthink and a disdain for seriousness and accomplishment. 

Public university campuses are wretched hives of scum and villainy, where everyone is so concerned with being &quot;different&quot; that they all end up looking and acting the same way - cheap beer, marijuana, parties, text-messaging, &quot;hooking up&quot;, and talking about things of absolute insignificance.

If you&#039;re wondering, I go to UC Santa Cruz.</description>

		<description>I personally think that pot is the best thing to ever come to the earth. it&#039;s not a gateway drug unless you make it a gateway drug. alcohol does a lot more damage that weed ever will.</description>

		<description>Thanks to a mix of some good education, some good bud, and some common sense, I have realized that the black and white, traditionalist, conservative world view is the biggest threat to my liberty and the main oppressor of opportunity and progress in this world. Whomever wrote this article is dangerously blinded by ideology.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been a nurse for more than a decade and have dealt w/ so many drug-seekers (be it prescribed drugs or illicit ones). I also dealt with people dying from chronic conditions such as cancer. I personally oppose any kind of abuse (drugs, alcohol, etc.). Marijuana is something different. Should MJ be legalized it should only be legalized for patients suffering from chronic PHYSICAL conditions (ex. cancer)..not MENTAL conditions. I oppose patients growing their own MJ plants. I prefer to have MJ FDA or state regulated and treated like any LEGAL narcotic drug (Vicodin, precocet, etc.) NOT like something you can buy it from a convenience store. MJ should and MUST NOT be legalized for recreational use.</description>

		<description>These pictures are a good example of cannabis abuse. Sort of like how pictures of a rowdy frat party could be good examples of alcohol abuse, among other things. Has there been a pictorial on that? If not, there should be, as alcohol use surely must cause as much damage on not just an individual but society. But 
perhaps they should not be lumped together, as they are not the same thing. Similarly, they are not the same as tobacco, heroin, cocaine, or any controlled substance. Drink too much and you could poison yourself. Smoke too much and you might get lung cancer. People overdose, and behave negatively, on legal and illegal drugs. Unfortunately, some people at some point decided for the masses that legal cannabis/hemp reform isn&#039;t worth any rational or open minded discussion.</description>
