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

It is of course totally improved to the total misnomer. People who work in the field say that young people tend to go over weed and then switch to hard drugs as it is not enough. And the criminals have a field day
@Mathers Skipping the fact your post is incoherent. You are spouting obvious bullshit .


Slippery slopes are fallacies for a reason.

Ever been on a slippery slope? You will find out it is not a fallacy. Wake up friend! @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@Mathers Proving once again right wingers can't use logic or think critically.
Mathers · 61-69
Proving yet again that unthinking people like you label people like me right wingers without any knowledge of what I am improving you are completely dumb @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@Mathers No, your garbage politics get you labeled right wing. Words have meanings. That is why dictionaries exist. Not that you have ever used a book.


And all you can do is throw insults when you have no valid arguments just logical fallacies most people learn not to make in high school.

@Mathers You view cultures from a christian-centric point of view, make excuses for Trump, are an anti-marxist,...
So right wing
Mathers · 61-69
You are absolutely off beam. You bring Trump into everything. You are absolutely fanatical and paranoid and lacking in any form of education@Gloomy

@Mathers ad hominem again and I brought Trump up because I read you defending him which is only one indicator of your political view.
@Mathers Probably because you blindly worship the man as a god.
@Mathers And you calling anyone uneducated is just funny.

Don’t worry. You know nothing about education my friend! 😀@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@Mathers I know enough to know you didn't pass high school.

@Mathers gateway hypothesis is exactly that - a hypothesis. Marijuana is far less harmful than alcohol. It's far less bad for you than tobacco.

I started smoking weed at 29. I have never tried anything harder and don't plan on it either.

They tried to prohibit alcohol too and look how well that worked.

The problem is what applies to you doesn’t apply to everybody@basilfawlty89
@Mathers That is cute. Your entire argument is based on assumptions applied as generalizations to the entire population.

@Mathers fair point, but you used anecdotes, so I used one.

If we want to be fair, we'd need to look at verified statistics. Most pot smokers don't go on to become heroin addicts.

If we argue slippery slope fallacies, as Pics pointed out, I could argue caffeine is a gateway drug to cocaine, but that would make me a silly sausage.
@basilfawlty89 From medical News Today.

The theory of weed as a gateway drug remains controversial. However, not all research supports this theory. Even studies suggesting people who use cannabis are more likely to use other drugs often fail to prove that cannabis directly leads to other drug use.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow well there we go then. We have actual data we can work with. In my case, my results were the same. I've never done anything harder than weed or alcohol.
@basilfawlty89 Basically from what I have read the best the pro "gateway drug" group can prove is correlation, not causation.
