Anxiety attacks and sugar cookies
Not more than actual drugs
The "war" basically facilitated it
Cause to be frank war has to be initiated
Drugs can't do that, so, our government did, and now there are more drugs than ever

Thing that sucks is at least they were powerful back then, now people killing themselves over what's basically cat piss and fent

The Truth
He’s a recovering addict so he probably has the right to his opinion

But legalizing weed will not do what he thinks. People are already smoking weed and you can say the same shyt about Alcohol.


Plus, weed has been around thousands of years just as is… cocaine wasn’t

I posit legalizing Homosexual Marriages was a greater mistake in this country, than the legalization of Marijuana. I don't see Marijuana even being as bad as Alchohol, and I refrain from using either one more than 99% of the year. Only having something on New Years night for the most part.

Call me homophobic, I don't care. I see what doors it has oppened, and those doors are now going to be hard to close.

I asked chatgpt what is the base function of marriage. why should any consenting adults be denied the things listed below?






The base function of marriage can be understood from both social and personal perspectives. At its core, marriage serves several fundamental functions:

1. Social and Legal Recognition:

Marriage is a socially recognized and often legally formalized union between two individuals. It grants them certain rights, responsibilities, and legal status within society. These include rights related to inheritance, taxation, and health benefits. It also provides a framework for regulating the relationship and its societal implications.

2. Emotional and Psychological Support:

Marriage provides emotional companionship, mutual support, and stability. Partners often rely on each other for love, care, and encouragement, creating a sense of security and belonging. This emotional connection helps in facing challenges and enhances overall well-being.

3. Reproduction and Parenting:

Historically, marriage has been seen as a way to regulate procreation and child-rearing. In many societies, marriage is considered the ideal environment for raising children, providing them with structure, stability, and role models for emotional, social, and moral development.

4. Economic Cooperation:

Marriage often involves an economic partnership where both spouses share resources and responsibilities. This cooperation can help with financial stability, pooling income, and managing household duties. It may also provide legal protections in matters like property ownership, inheritance, and social security benefits.

5. Cultural and Religious Significance:

In many cultures and religions, marriage is not just a social contract but a sacred or symbolic union. It often has a profound spiritual or cultural meaning, marking a transition in life and serving as a cornerstone of family structures.

6. Stability and Social Order:

On a societal level, marriage contributes to the stability of social structures by providing a predictable framework for family life. It helps organize relationships, particularly when it comes to issues of inheritance, family ties, and social responsibilities.

7. Intimacy and Sexual Fulfillment:

Marriage often serves as a context for intimate and sexual relationships, providing a framework for physical closeness and affection. It is seen by many as the ideal context for expressing sexual intimacy in a committed, safe, and respectful way.

8. Personal Growth and Fulfillment:

Marriage can provide an opportunity for personal growth, as spouses learn to navigate challenges, communicate effectively, and make compromises. It can also offer a sense of purpose and fulfillment through shared goals, values, and dreams.
In short, the base function of marriage is to provide a stable, socially recognized framework for emotional, social, and economic cooperation. The specific ways these functions manifest can vary widely based on cultural, religious, and individual preferences.

Ok, so an A.I. created by humans gave that take.

Does not change my view. If I wrote the A.I. it would give a different answer based on my biasness on the issue of how Homosexual Marriage opened the door to all the rest of the deviancies like: thousands of genders, trans-seeking to force hetersexual people accept them as one, attempts to advertise the LGBTQ+ lifestyle to school age children, etc.

When I say my bias view, I means it as a subjective view that I have. Since ChatGPT receives its programing on issues from the subjective ideologies of its creators, it also is expressing a subjective view even though it may seem to be one based on pure logic. It has not gained sentience, so its veiw is the view of those whom have created it.

So did you start smoking crack because you smoke weed?

No but I could see someone without a life to live who could easily get sucked into that life if young enough or down bad enough.


That just my opinion tho

My problem isn’t that’s it legal, I just hate the fact that its far from natural nowadays making it far more detrimental
