THAT has to be one of the most misinformed comments I have seen this week! Believe me, they do it to rebel....as well as for a whole host of other reasons. Quote Dementia is just a state of mind.

Thats just plain silly to think they do drugs just to piss of the parents or teachers. Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!"

Exactly, your 100% right, what good does it do to rebel with something that is legal? Thats like a girl wanting to rebel by dating a doctor instead of the out of work biker. Quote

Quote Intelligent people think... how ignorance must be bliss.... idiots have it so easy, it's not fair... to have to think... WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE AMONG THOSE FORTUNATE MASSES..... Hey, "Non-believers" I've just got one thing to say to ya... If you're right, then what difference does it make, it wont matter when we're dead anyway... But if I'm right... Well, hey... Ya better be right...
hugo Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I would think kids would be more likely to go to hard drugs now when they can often get marijuana and harder drugs from the same source. Legalizing marijuana would isolate further kids from hard drug dealers. This would also allow additional police enforcement aimed at dealers in hard drugs.

Hook them up with Xbox and their fine. Come on. We were all kids before. Tell me you did drugs to rebel. Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws.

timesjoke Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 well... if that doctor is female... Well maybe, but with the way homosexuality is completely accepted these days, that would not count either. I would think kids would be more likely to go to hard drugs now when they can often get marijuana and harder drugs from the same source. Legalizing marijuana would isolate further kids from hard drug dealers. This would also allow additional police enforcement aimed at dealers in hard drugs. Not if the pot fills their need at the time. The point being made really covers two different kinds of pot smoking kids. The ones being a rebel are doing drugs because their illegal and considered bad by society. Once pot is legal and completely accepted like drinking is now, they will need a new drug to be rebels with. The second type who just do it for fun are the same as drinkers, their use is restricted by the stuff being illegal but once it is legal and accepted, they can use it without the negative illegal part. Many kids never use pot because it is illegal though so now you add them into the numbers and suddenly you have a very out of control situation on your hands. So, one group of kids get driven to harsher drugs to remain the rebels, and other kids start using pot because it is suddenly accepted and you cannot get into trouble. Not good if you ask me. Quote
