Yeah, so, hope you like.

Here's my shot. Not a lot different than what you had... also a little girly... but it's what I came up with. Hopefully it will get the ball rolling.

Good luck, hope you get more responses.

From what I heard about Brazil, they should be blaming THEMSELVES. Not the PEOPLE of Brazil, but the leaders. From my understanding, there's a larger poor-rich gap there than in America, and that folks in giant mansions live right up near slums full of homeless people (and the rich there do nothing to help the crisis or the poverty). I also heard that their leaders gave a lot away for free (i.e. without raising any taxes) and fell into a huge amount of debt that they now expect their poor citizens to pay back.

This is all just stuff I've heard from people who visited though, so I could be wrong...

However, if your country falls into economic disarray, it's probably got something to do with who is leading the country, not any other country in the world.

Just putting aside the hypotheticals for a moment, as someone who has actually a) been around people when they were smoking weed and b) not been smoking it myself, I can conclusively say that I did not get high. ESPECIALLY not in an outdoor area.

I am sad that I'm not at home when they're trying to dispose of that weed. : ( I would take it off their hands :P. Although they could just punt it into Boulder and never see it again...

Weed has killed like 90% (this is a guess, but I'd even hazard to say 100%) less people than booze or cigarettes. Sure, someone who has never smoked anything ever will be more healthy than someone who smokes weed, but someone who smokes weed will be MUCH healthier than someone who smokes cigarettes, or drinks with the same frequency. And then you can always eat weed, which is so much more healthy than smoking a cigarette they're not even in the same league.

I have said it before, but a bona fide PHYSICIAN (with a PHD and everything) told my friend that it was healthier for him to smoke weed once a month than go into a bar with second hand smoke every week (not actually smoking the cigarettes). So if you choose to believe anyone in this discussion, please believe the Actual Doctor.

I don't smoke weed very often, perhaps twice a year. It hurts my Asthma. But I still believe that it's basically the most harmless intoxicant we have available to us, except for caffiene.

I noticed a lot of arguments can be avoided by people taking things less personally. It seems like how these things go is that there is a topic, and then this happens:

Person x: *Tongue-in-cheek half-relevant comment*

Person y: Hey that's an asshole thing to say and you're wrong because *giant wall of text.*

Person x: I was just joking around, but now that you've posted *giant wall of text* I will now respond to your text wall with a bulleted rebuttal.

Person y: I will now respond to YOUR rebuttal!

Person who started the thread: Um...?

Person z: No, (person x/person y) is totally correct, and here is another *giant wall of text* explaining why!

Lots of other People: I have something to say about this argument!

Person who started the thread: Uh... can we just lock this please?

Add in a healthy amount of snark and ego and the inability to distinguish a joke from seriousness and voila! You have yourself a ruined thread.
