hahahah i love this debate. imo you are the one that keeps jumping on the legality of things to prove your point. gay marriage is illegal in ny… no? is there any harm in a sexual preference? it was illegal for us to revolt against the british… bad idea in retrospect? this can go on all damn day lol

If you are going to compare, I am certainly going to point out that parking illegal is not the same as driving while impared or drug use. It’s a valid point.

I have no point. I am disproving other points.

I have already been very clear when I said that I don’t care what others do in their own home as long as it doesn’t affect others. We could go deeper and say that drug use in that regard is still bad as it will employ other drug dealers but we can barely discuss this with the smokers.

I am simply pointing out that regardless of what someone’s dad says or what yours/mine/whoever opinion is: It is still ILLEGAL. Period.

For the most part can we agree that a considerable portion of laws are intact mainly to gain revenue? Also laws vary state to state depending on political ideals of the party in charge. So since its illegal/wrong in ny, does that mean that other states/countries where laws vary are outright wrong?

for every action there is a reaction, both good and bad. whether legal/wrong or not.

The word “wrong” is the problem. I am really not sure the purpose of it. If it’s illega, it’s probably considered “wrong”.

To me, cigarettes are wrong because they can directly hurt other people but they are legal for their revenue. Marijuana appears to be illegal because the state cannot directly gain revenue from it and it has some health risks (but so does other things).

:rofl

I know, but I’m not an irrational 17 yr old stoner trying to reason all of life’s problems away with weed.

I’m just saying it’s not as harmful as you guys are making it out to be.

And I could run a marathon tomorrow. Sure. Will it happen? Probably not. Is it still illegal? Yep.

I’d love to beat the shit out of many people at the lot but assault/battery is against the law and I respect that. Saying my daddy says its OK or it’s legal in Virginia to do so doesn’t change the fact.
