[quote=@DarkwolfX37] B) Considering there was a man who spent most of his life in prison due to having a small amount of pot on him, that's not a good position. We also have overcrowded jails, almost entirely due to the drug war, which causes us to run out of room for actual criminals and has lead to a state where the prisons are basically non lethal concentration camps. I'd have to find it again to elaborate, it was a long time ago that I found out. D) Him too, but the major difference is his "all sins should be illegal" thing and he's more... I can't think of a good word for it. E) Right. But the effects on lungs are minor compared to cigarettes on a 1 to 1 basis. Cigarettes have a lot of added chemicals and create tar in the lungs, whereas pot only irritates the lungs as any smoke would. Maybe further effects will be found later, but I'm now aware of any currently known lung effects beyond that. [/quote] More binary on every issue. And to clarify, I think punishments should vary based on how harmful the action is, and recognize that the system would be difficult outside of a perfect world. I speak in theory, not necessarily in experimental values.
