How is weed still illegal and oreos and crap food are legal and actually addictive, unlike weed?

See if they did the test right they would have given the rats weed first. Then the rates would have ran over and had a few Oreos.

I think it depends on just how cold the milk is with those Oreos .

Without getting too off topic you hit the nail on the head. Some of the artificial crap in processed foods, HFCS, for example are appetizer stimulants causing individuals to over indulge.

im not a fat dude but im getting fat.

i tore through some oreos the other night. it was so bad i tried to hid the package in between the microwave and cabinet so my lady wouldnt find it and ask me why i ate 90% of a new package of oreos in one night.

she found the package and left it in front of the microwave.

i went and crushed the rest.

i need help.

when we go grocery shopping i make it a point to not buy anything i know i will crush at midnight.

but this was one of her stocking stuffers so it slipped in the house.

i also ate 1/4 of a king cake last night. this morning i gave our daughter a sliver of king cake so if my lady asks me i can say "we" instead of "I".

i need help.

last week i had to explain how i we ran out of baby carrots so fast.

"blue cheese bitch! it was the effing blue cheese! .. the mazeratti ultimate blue cheese is soooo goood".

Opinion: Marijuana is safer than alcohol - CNN.com

"Don't believe it could work? In 2009, Colorado's medical marijuana industry exploded, prompting the state to put in place the kinds of regulations I've just outlined. According to CDC data on youth drug use, from 2009 to 2011 -- a time when youth marijuana use increased nationally -- the percentage of Colorado teens using marijuana dropped more than any other state in the country and is now below the national average.

Marijuana is safer than alcohol; let's treat it that way. Adults who would prefer to use marijuana instead of alcohol should be free to do so. Just as significant, the law enforcement resources spent making those three-quarters of a million arrests could instead be devoted to preventing and solving real crimes.

I firmly believe that marijuana should be legal. That said, I went to Colorado in August and was walking through a mall in Colorado Springs with my kids when a couple teens walked by us and the conversation they had went like this. What y'all doin tonight? Oh we're going over and getting high. Linearly laughed out loud and cringed at the same time. And there were more pot shops in Colorado Springs then 7-11s, not exaggerating.

I get what your saying, would you feel more secure if the kids were saying we were getting drunk or taking mom's pain pills in the medicine cabinent? Its tough to be a parent these days, best way is to educate kids about real risks of using many drugs, legal and illegal. addiction comes in many forms and vices

I am in the firm Marijuana should be legal corner. Too many wasted lives from being in and out of jail over it. Too much money spent on a rabbit hole. Too many resources tied up over the prohibition's enforcement.

So smoking should be discouraged, unless it's weed. Got it.

I'm of two minds on this. Prohibition never works. But let's not act like pot is any less a vice than alcohol, smoking etc. LOL comparing it to oreos. At what point are sweets acceptable, then? Should we ban anything but rice cakes and cucumber salad (no dressing)?

Weed has some proven medicinal value, unlike tobacco.
