Reply #78: Why must you come to threads just to bash people and put words in their mouths?

No one said smoking pot makes you smarter, just that enjoying it need not interfere with work or school. If you really do not care whether people smoke, why post over and over criticizing it? Whatever, indeed. Are you for prohibition or against it? From a public policy standpoint, the issue is not whether pot is good for you, but whether prohibition and prison are helping us live better.

Legalizing weed would obviously be good for the economy. Taking billions of dollars being wasted on arresting and jailing smokers would obviously free up those funds for sensible uses, and cops for real crimes. Taxes and jobs from the weed would be a secondary benefit.

Of course, when people point this out, there is always some asshole like you to come along and say "all those stupid stoners are making a fuss over nothing again."
