I PERSONALLY can't stand 'stoners'. They're arrogant to me. There are a few levels of stoners, of course. A portion of them are the ones that smoke like once/twice a day, which is alright, they may do it for stress or what-have-you, and that's really not too bad. Then you have the people that are STONERS that are lighting it up basically every chance that is presented to them. These are the people I can't stand, the people that have been smoking so much for so long that basically they're always in the "duuuuuuuuuuuude state where you can't talk to them without them becoming spacedout and on the opposite side of the world while your trying to ask them a simple fucking question.

Gonna have to agree with you there. I know a guy that's practically perma-stoned. He smokes, on average, 10 blunts a day. He's a fucking retard. You can just tell that he's missing some very important brain cells. You have to maintain moderation.
Anything that is abused on a daily, even hourly, basis is going to be detrimental to your cause. Just like alcohol. I'm sure you guys have some friends that are alcoholics and are drunk all the time -- they're annoying. Same goes for people that are completely encompassed by marijuana. Marijuana should be a hobby, a past-time event that helps you deal with stress, make a specific activity more exciting, or to get away from 'it all.'

And then there's the other side of Legalizing Marijuana which has some benefits. For one, our jail systems would clear out which would be GREAT for our economy not having to pay for the massive amount of drug users that wouldn't be incarcerated anymore. I feel as this is the best point about it, but is it worth it?

Absolutely. Do you know how overcrowded America's jails are? Do you know how much the American public is being taxed because we have people in jail for
years for a
harmless drug? In the history of this drug, there has not been ONE single, documented case of it killing somebody. Can you say that about alcohol? Cigarettes? Hell mothafuckin no you can't. Why are drugs that kill thousands of people a year legal, while marijauna, which has MANY medicinal purposes, labeled as 'evil' and illegal? Basically, money. Do you know how much the government makes off of potheads when they get busted? Last year, I was busted with 2 (
TWO) grams of weed. It has cost me ~$3,000 out of my own fucking pocket for TTTWWWOOO measly grams. Multiply that by the number of people that get busted everyday. We're talking billions.

Also, taking away the illegal aspect of smoking Marijuana takes away the fun of it, hence making new kids not want to start up doing drugs. Because let's be honest, once you try pot your mind does start to wonder what effects will happen with the usual of different drugs such as acid, heroin, cocaine, etc, even different types of pot.

Not true. If marijuana were made legal, it would still be the number one consumed drug in America. I, personally, would still smoke it. The only people that would stray away from it are the types of people that don't need to be smoking anyway. You know who I'm talking about. The idiot kids that brag about smoking weed because they think it makes them look cool. They're portraying the wrong image anyway. Smoking weed does not make you cool. I do not brag about smoking. It is a personal choice of mine that I use for my own gain. Not anybody else's. I could give a fuck what you think of me. I don't judge you, what gives you the tenacity to judge me?

I personally feel that most of the people I KNOW that fall into the 'stoner' category are basically morons before the fact of them smoking pot and becoming addicted to it. No it's not very harmful to your body, actually it reduces stress in some cases, but is it worth turning into a sloth and having no control of your life while your buzz is going on, constantly, every day for no reason other than you just feel like getting "fucked up". And better yet, when is the time to grow up? Basically what i'm saying is my friends that smoke pot, are basically morons anyways, before they're high, before they ever even tried it, so basically I feel if you smoke, you are a moron.

Marijuana does different things to different people. As KA has said in another post, for some people, it makes them creative. It makes them think of things they wouldn't normally think about while sober. How many movies, albums, TV shows have been created because the writers were sitting around passing a doob and thought, "Hey, I have a great idea." And they received millions for their ideas. The only harmful effect of weed goes straight to your lungs. Smoking
anything is harmful to your lungs. If you straight up baked marijuana all your life, you wouldn't see a single harmful effect done to your body.
Basically,
moderation is the key.
