What are your thoughts on that? I'm interested to hear your opinions on whether he deserved his punishment or not.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

You should be more specific.  He is put in jail for SELLING drugs.  And he didn't necessarily sell ONE joint, he sold one joint to a COP. 

And what the hell are they talking about drug-free zones being a bad law?  The whole city should be drug-free. 

Oh, and they're saying that most people who arrested for selling drugs are non-white.  So obviously the laws are racist.  Or maybe non-white people are the ones with problems?

That, like most pro-drug things I've seen, sounds totally stupid.

Two years per joint sounds like a good law to me.

A more effective law would be life per joint.

How about death per joint?  We should start lacing drugs with something lethal and selling them randomly.  Muahaha

Just because GameSnake's a dumb shit, doesn't mean every one else on earth that's done drugs before is an idiot. If we're going to kill idiots, why not just kill every one?

I suggest a world-wide effort to replace all heroin, cocaine, crack, marijuana, acid, and mephamphetamines with cyanide.  Or anthrax.

You're right.  It just happens to be that people who do drugs are idiots.  It might just be when they're doing them, but man, they fuck people up.

Not so smart people do drugs and become more not so smart.  Thus, drugs make idiots.
OR
Idiots do drugs but can't get much stupider, so it appears as if they don't.  Thus idiots do drugs.

Incidentally, it may very well be (which I think you're implying) that the laws against marijuana are unjust.  If that's the case, then there are proper ways to go about getting that changed.  Breaking the law and making yourself a criminal pretty much assures that you won't be in a position to change the world, so anybody who's really against the law should pursue a proper avenue of getting it changed without breaking it.

In the case of alcohol prohibition, blatantly disregarding the law was fairly effective.

You're right.  It just happens to be that people who do drugs are idiots.  It might just be when they're doing them, but man, they fuck people up.

Not a very good generalization at all.  What are you referring to as drugs?  Also, although I certainly wouldn't encourage using it, many of the smartest mathematicians and physicists of the 20th/21st century (e.g. the smartest people on the planet) were LSD users.  And yes, even while they were using they were quite bright.

There are also so many geniuses who became alcoholic geniuses.  Most highly intelligent people are extremely sensitive to various things that make it very difficult for them to cope with their reality -- so they resort to chemicals (like alcohol) as an escape.  While drinking isn't good for your intelligence, I think in many cases smart people are more likely to develop serious dependencies than most others; therefore I couldn't agree less with the claim "it just happens that people who do drugs are idiots," as it seems the opposite may be true in a good portion of cases!

Haha yeah, that was an unfortunate encouragement.  Perhaps that only works for new laws?

And where's he?  Dead.  Me: 1 Him: 0. 

But seriously, wasn't he a proponent of civil rights and such?  How do you disobey civil rights laws?  I think that there's a big difference between breaking the laws that you are trying to fix/abolish and general civil disobedience.

How would you fix the grammar?  A "perfecter union"?  Having a "more perfect union" is acceptable, unless the context around it is different.

Because, statistically, it's a gateway drug.  I'm sure you've heard that argument before, but I think it's a very good reason.  I'd be interested to see how the numbers of "hardcore" drug users in somewhere where Marijuana is legal compare to the same statistic in the US.
