Performed or looked up studies have you? I don't just mean studies in countries where pot is legal. You said drugs, plural. So feel free to show verified evidence where all drugs are legal and easily obtainable that the population or test group functioned somewhat normally.

Oh right, you're just pulling shit out of your ass again and pretending they are 'facts'.
If certain drugs impair one's ability to drive or for whatever other reason cause harm to others, those particular things should be outlawed. In other words, it should be the same as alcohol is now. We can legally use it responsibly.

If no harm is done to others = OK
If there is harm done to others = not OK

Making drugs legal would be much better for many different reasons. Less innocent people in jail, more money due to taxing drug sales, and less violence because you can buy your drugs from stores. Also, the corrupt government would have one less excuse to stick their nose in our business unfairly.

you've inadvertently touched on the best reason against legalizing pot: there is no way to accurately test if someone is high while driving. if i smoked pot two hours ago and am now fine to drive, no field test or blood test will acquit me.

What if his valid reason is he had a personal revelation from God that said gays were bad? God doesn't need a reason, because he's fucking God. Again, you're stating your own opinions as facts.

Fact: homosexuality is genetic
Opinion: homosexuality is good
Opinion: homosexuality is bad

Notice the difference?

Once again, people who are anti-gay cannot even come up with a single valid reason for it. It is nothing more than close mindedness.

Slow down, dude. Read closely. I'm very much against homophobia, but I don't think you're quite getting this...

So this thread is about Breetai not murdering gay people, Hatta feeling persecuted because he smokes pot, and everything but the NDAA?

All of the above. And all three of these problems exist because of ignorance.

This is probably the worst political thread I've ever seen on here.
