a debate isnt necessarily a bad thing as long as it stays on topic and both parties can understand each others view without getting upset that the other disagrees with them… thats mostly the problem on here…
but i agree with the pick your poison part, both have their downfalls, the stereotypical “stoner” is usually pegged as dumb, waste of society, lazy etc, but i know some people that smoke up that would blow you away with their intelligence…
now as i said, am i pushing for legalization? no, it doesnt matter to me either way, but do i think that it NEEDS to be illegal? no… to me its no less evil than other vices that ARE legal out there now… as for the gateway drug theory, i think thats complete bullshit. if you do meth cause smoke a bowl, you were gonna do it anyway, whether you were drunk or high. thats a different kind of feeling
