MountainTux NLI (OP) User ID: 68092407 Canada 01/10/2019 02:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You can call bullshit all you like :) But then you can also look at the numerous studies, both in the US and Canada, proving that violent crime is much reduced where marijuana is legal. And it makes perfect sense, to boot... nearly all crime related to marijuana is actually related to illegal trafficking, law enforcement and the growth and movement of illegal marijuana. Make it legal, you take away the incentive for criminal activity. Unless of course you're referring to the violent assault of the refrigerator about an hour in, but that's a totally different beast Exercise your common sense for a moment and see what it tells you. ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary. Usually best described by, “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” |

tratak User ID: 43943619 United States 01/10/2019 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course. It's so fucking simple. Take cannabis out of the hands of gangs, dealers, cartels, etc, and put it in legit stores and violent crime goes down. It's not like dispensaries are going to get in a shoot out over turf wars. It's not like a dispensary is going to shoot someone for a deal gone wrong. People against cannabis legalization either profit from it's illegal status (private prisons, police budgets dedicated to fighting weed, illegal dealers, cartels) or are absolutely retarded. ... |
Fluffy Pancakes User ID: 77244200 United States 01/10/2019 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If it is no longer a crime, then there is no criminality. There are always going to be thieves and people with ill will towards others, but cannabis isn't a criminal thing in itself. Making cannabis illegal is like outlawing cheesecake. It's awesome and people will break the "law" to consume it. But, to be fair, cannabis is actually really good for you in moderation and cheesecake is just really good. Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy "Never interrupt an enemy in the process of destroying himself." Quercitin and zinc...Get it. Take it.

Pot shops in WA are robbed (armed) DAILY. I never met a stoner prior to legalization that robbed anyone to get his fix. It is also increasing DUI rates through the roof. Sorry, but you know..

Quoting: Fake Gnu's You may want to check those facts, sister. Nobody's robbing pot shops for a fix, and even if they WERE, the FACTS are that crime rates are dropping. I question your "facts," but even were they true, that would be a small bump in crimes in one sector being offset by a HUGE drop in crimes in another. A pot shop getting robbed VS 15 dead in a machine gun shootout with Cartel VS local drug growers? Do the math. As for DUIs, they have already documented AND admitted that they were not prepared for the legalization of pot, and have no real weathervane for charging so many people have gotten pot - related DUIs that were not actually DUIs. Hence the governor pardoning those and all other pot related misdemeanors, or did you miss that part? I've posted facts, you're having an opinion based on.. I dunno, you live in a bad neighborhood? Well, much as your HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER opinion may be the cat's ass, I think I'll stick with ACTUAL facts.

1-2-Follow User ID: 60863762 United States 01/10/2019 02:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i have some family in colorado. they said "yeah people like legal weed but you wouldn't believe the rise in criminals!" i asked "what kind of criminals? you'd think it would be less since pot smokers would no longer be considered criminals". they said "well, i just mean, we aren't used to dealing with the kinds of people who smoke pot." so in other words, anti-weed people still think of weed smokers as "criminals", therefore crime has risen in colorado.
