obtain and smoke something that is still illegal in many places besides my state and colorado? yes. that's illegal. It doesn't matter how much you love to get high and have fun. Just because you like it, doesn't mean its any less illegal. get off your ******* high horse and vote for it like the rest of us instead of running your mouth

I know i have the unpopular opinion here and im going to be lost in a sea of red but i cant ******* stand people they base their lives around a simple substance. yes, i smoke tobacco and i drink alcohol, but i don't ******* worship those things. they are up for sale to people at a certain age, so their is also a legal battle to be fought with those substances as well. I know that if i drink and drive or give a cigarette to a minor, there is gonna be some repercussions to that, and i would recognise that as my own fault

what's that? you smoked weed and got caught doing something you aren't supposed to be doing and now you are in trouble? well i guess we better blame the man, right? it's not like that would be taking the easy ******* way out right? everything can be blamed on the government because we've grown a hive mind that every thing is their fault.

"oh boo hoo. I have all these great things in the world to enjoy and use every day but now I noticed there's something i'm not supposed to have. I WANT IT NOW! ITS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I HAVE THIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT BEFORE, THERE FOR I NEEEEED IT"

This is not to say that i haven't ever tried it before and i'm just acting like a prude. I tried it twice and i don't ever want to do it again, due to how it made me feel. In place of that, i will still hang with friends that smoke it and act as their DD and keep them from getting caught with it. I enjoy being around people when their high! they make me feel like im actually a funny guy TBH. but one friend who i vowed off for other reasons was a political stoner and would just prattle on about how ****** the government is and that weed is the best thing ever and how badly we need to make it legal...

I ask him "pray tell. can you just learn to fill out a ballot and smoke with the rest of us? just shut up for a sec, take a hit and ******* enjoy yourself. if you came out here to this mormon church parking lot to smoke an illegal substance with us, you have no moral right to preach what is right and what is wrong"

I didn't read everything but I would like to point out. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean you get arrested over it. Smoking weed in Canada is practically legal illegal but you won't go to jail over it, or get a criminal record

well, that's something i will admit to not addressing. I know many people who have been caught with it and got off easy. It's not an extreme taboo anymore really unless you're are something like an extreme republican christian or something

Doesn't matter how stupid a law may be, if you break it, you have no right to be angry if you get in trouble for it. You knew the risks.

My thoughts exactly^^

Whoa what the **** ? A "Private Prison"? Teach me the ways of America

Pretty much what it sounds like, a privately owned prison. The government gives them so much money based on how many prisoners they're holding. So they started lobbying for harsher penalties on crimes, especially minor drug crimes such as possession of weed, so that people are sent to prison more often and for longer periods. Which in turn gives them more money.

TL&DR Prisons became a business and are basically jailing people for profit.

I mean, it's not like you have to smoke weed.

Here, it's illegal to eat peanutbutter walking backwards outside a theater, while an opera is going on inside, on a monday.
Some laws don't make sense.
