Weed is legal in Canada

And I think this is a good thing. For the main reason that people, especially younger ones are no longer exposed to the hard drugs and the criminal element. Making weed illegal makes criminals out of people as well

The only problem is so many people are weak willed and will prefer being stoned to actually living life
@Convivial You are far to young to have a valid excuse to have a flawed view on drugs that was current before Canada was even a country.

That is not a thing.

@Slade Again, no need to scream your sexual orientation at me everyday.

@Convivial When people prefer to be stoned than to actually live life then something in society is going wrong and alienates people. How about just fixing the system then?
@Convivial That was the premise behind prohibition, too, but aside from limiting alcohol access to adults, people get to decide for themselves now.

@Gloomy What gloomy world are you looking for? Your words feel like an infomercial against drugs with no substance (all pun intended). As torrid as it can be, there is something about freedom of choice. Beyond that, Portugal has reduced drug use from legalizing all illicit and treating it like what it is, a health issue. It's a little simplistic to think the government promotes, just because a mostly harmless drug is now legal here.

@thewindupbirdchronicles ??
You did not get the point I was making. I'm pro legalizing drugs and decriminalising harder ones.

My point was that if people consume weed in mass it is due to alienation in society and not because of weed being legal.
@Gloomy Your words didn't convey that to me, entirely. Maybe wording, maybe how I read. I might add the attitude around drugs, which are common, add to alienation/stigma, and those fighting them in a way create what they fight against.
@Gloomy It is weird how nobody makes the same claim that if alcoholism skyrockets "Oh it is because it is easy to buy."

They try and figure out what systemic issue led to skyrocketing alcohol abuse.

@bijouxbroussard true, they do... And looking at some life choices people make I'm not sure that's an entirely good thing
@Convivial Addiction is a medical problem, not a moral failing or a choice. We have known this since 1956. Your ideas are a bit dated. Your take on this is older than you parents.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow it's both physical and emotional...
@Convivial Which is medical. And you are pretending it is moral like were are in the 1800s.

@Gloomy No wonder why so many people are drunk in Russia.
@Convivial You are spouting ideas about addiction and drug use from an era when people legitimately thought Corn Flakes cereal would make you stop masturbating.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow whatever... I'll bow down to your innate male wisdom
@chrisCA Probably because for the exception of a tiny minority Russia and most of the former soviet republics have been a total shit show since 1991.
@Convivial Really? Trying to pull the sexism bullshit because you can't even conceive that you have no idea what you are talking about?
Convivial · 26-30, F
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow why not, you're pulling the ageism thing
@Convivial No, I am presenting facts and factual arguments based on facts.


You presented Victorian morality because it already confirms your beliefs.


I only brought up your age to point out just how ludicrously out of date your points were. That is not ageism.
