In reply to the discussion: Who will say, “I just want to smoke it”? [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)27. This has always bugged me about pro-legalization arguments.
They always focus on the "super magical plant that does everything EXCEPT get you high" shit. It's all about making butter from the seeds and paper fro mthe stems, but never mention of getting THC from the buds.
And I think that's a large reason why legalization keeps stalling, becuase a bunch of bleary-eyed peopel who smell like nag champa are pretending htye have zero interest in getting high, as if getting high were this terrible forbidden thing that must not be mentioned ever. By distracting from the main use of the stuff, all that goes is empower the pro-arrest crowd.
