So where will all that 'legal' pot come from?

Then why is alcohol legal? If pot is illegal shouldn't alcohol be?

 

Underage drinking is a problem. I'd venture to say it wasn't as big of a problem in the 20's, on a per-capita basis among teens.

I'm talking about people under the age of 21.

I see....so the same philosophy would apply to sex as well.

 

Pot is not the same as alcohol. Alcohol has a long tradition of acceptance by society. Keep going down your logic tree and pretty soon we will have arguments for the legalization of cocaine, heroin, etc.

My point is that making pot legal will make it easier for teens to gain access to it. Making pot legal would cause people that had never tried it to give it a whirl. Who knows how many people will become constant users?

 

True but on the other hand we don't see gangs of teens shooting each other and innocent bystanders up fighting over the control of "booze" turf.

That's like the old fallacy of pot being a "gateway drug". Listen to what Law Enforcement Against Prohibition has to say. They address all your concerns in one 14 minute video.

 

Yes, ITL, I know you are thinking of the under 21 crowd. I addressed that. I understand your concern, and see it as unfounded.


Yes, as to sex, I hold to the same ideal. God made sex and it is a wonderful thing. It is not taboo. It is not dirty. When we recognize the dangers and the joys of sex we do well. When we teach what the Bible actually says about it we do well. When we enjoy sex as God ordained it, in the joys of the marital bed, it is a wonderful thing. I have 4 sons. Each are being taught this, at age appropriate levels.

 

My friendly neighborhood drug pusher has kids selling all sorts of drugs to kids of all ages.....word on the street is anyone with cash is a client. Believe me, minors already have access to it. By legalizing it, you are taking the profit out of it for my friendly neighborhood drug dealer (a professing Baptist BTW). However the dumbing down characteristics are a consideration ...as it is with alcohol. But at least you could monitor it & maybe raise money to research it if it were legalized. Then old friendly could really concentrate on where he scores the best profitability......filling scripts from scummy doctors for prescriptions like Vicodin (and he still will sell them to kids, your wife, you....again anyone with cash on the counter).

Ritalin is an amphetamine. In street lingo, it's called "speed." Selling speed to children is a felony, but feeding speed to children with a prescription is called "treatment." The practice of dosing children with powerful, mind-altering drugs is, in fact, a form of chemical abuse, yet it is tolerated today because it is framed in the language of medicine. Parents and teachers all too easily agree to the mass drugging of schoolchildren because it makes symptoms of ADHD seemingly go away. This drugging practice is, ultimately, pursued for the convenience of the children's caretakers and the profits of powerful drug companies, not out of any real concern for the health of the children.

Nutritional research has shown that the symptoms of ADHD can be completely reversed in 80 percent of children in just two weeks by eliminating processed foods and chemical food additives from their diets. The so-called "disease" of ADHD is really just an expression of behavior caused by extreme dietary imbalances. The entire theory of ADHD can also be completely shot down by simply handing an ADHD child an X-Box or Wii gaming system, after which the child will sit down and engage in extremely focused, attentive and mentally demanding gaming activities for as long as six hours without a single break, and without distraction. If there really were such as disease as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, such behavior would not be possible.
