This is how they are fighting legalizing pot?

Famous last words...

 

Hey I don't smoke. But no one is going to lose driving abilities if they're smoking a cig. That's all I'm saying. They're just hurting themselves.

 

Plus, ever heard of "second hand smoke"?

 

Yes. I also think it's stupid. If I get cancer for walking next to smokers, well, that will suck. But it's not very likely. I guess.

 

I never said any of that was good, I'm just saying that Cigs > Pot > Alcohol in terms of endangering people around you. But I drink, and I don't smoke anything. So whatever. But I don't drive drunk, I don't fight drunk.

You have a very tainted view on firearms it seems. a single shot can very much kill someone, and isn't as rare or as hard as you make it seem. As far aw SWAT goes...

 

...anyone who is trained to actually kill someone, IS trained to do it in a single shot, as that one shot could be your only chance.

 

A gun going off accidently isn't hard to do under the right circumstances, and being under the influence takes it to that next level.

A single shot can kill but it IS very rare. My Grandfather was a military man and he taught me alot about guns and the damge they can do, and it's true that One shot has a very low probablity of terminating a life whereas a two shot doubles the odds.

 

The human body is very resilint, in most cases where One shot kills it's because medical attention was too late.

The biggest joke in America, well one of the biggest jokes, is that Alcohol is legal and pot isn't.  Pot is definitely less dangerous.  Cigs are less dangerous than either, because they don't screw up your perception.  I don't care how many cigs you smoke, it's not hurting me.

Cigarettes do a lot worse than "screw up your perception." Plus, ever heard of "second hand smoke"?

 

Somehow blowing whatever money I have on some worthless "quick fix" that will probably make me worse off in the long run isn't my idea of "fun."

 

Believe me, I've seen my share of alcoholics and chain smokers and if THAT'S what's in my future if I start using that crap, I'll pass.

 

Eh, I'm rambling, carry on.

I'm glad someone here has some common sense.

Having had experience with all of the above, I'd agree with you.

 

As for single-shot kills, it happens all the time, they're not freak accidents or anything. Now, single-shot INSTANT kills are rare, the Hollywood kind where they fall down dead as soon as they're hit. But plenty of people have been killed with just one bullet.

Pot owns all other substances not named poontang.

AOO nailed it in my opinion.
